rs TUBERCULOSIS
A REAL MENACE
The Vermont tuberculosis Association
Campaign for s5e.oec Begins June
FIRST.

FIRST
Is tuberculosis a real menace and. II
so. are the plans Of the Vermont
Tuberculosis Association for attacking
II practical. These two questions are
set forth by Mr. Fred A. Rowland,
state chairman for the campaign, TO
raise $4,000 10 fight tuberculosis in
Vermont and to make possible q gift
of $50, 900 for a new Preventorium, as
Fundamental in determining whether
10 contribute to this cause
That tuberculosis is real menace
Mr.. Rowland states is sufficiently
proved by the fact that it kills one
third of all who die between the ages
Of Is and 40, that it is responsible for
one-tenth of all deaths IL kills an
average Of 300 in Vermont every year.
As to the second question, are the pro-
posed plans for attacking it practical,
Mr.. Rowland states that the Rookie
feller Foundation has spent hundreds
thousands Of dollars against tubercu-
losis in France on the very same plan.
Secondly, that the plan has the whole
hearted endorsement Of the State
Board Of Health and, lastly that Mr..
and Miss Proctor realized the need OF
financing this plan and made their
generous gift Of $4,000 for new
preventorium contingent on raising
fund sufficient to finance IT,
II. w. Slocum, secretary Of the YER
mont tuberculosis Association, states
that one-half Of the work of the asso-
citation is to help build up the resist
ance of individuals to the disease; the
other protection from infection. For
the first half, the association with the
cooperation CT the State Board Of
Health is enlisting the boys and girls
Of the state in a health crusaGe in
which they do health chores and learn
health habits in game. Over 10000
boys and girls of Vermont are health
crusaders and the movement has the
written endorsement Of nearly every
district superintendent. In addition to
this, lectures have been given, health
pictures shown, etc.
The second half of the work is to
discover and place under proper
supervision sufferers from the disease.
1t is estimated that there are about
two thousand cases Of tuberculosis IN
the state under no medical supervi-
sion. Some of these are spreading IN
lection to others, and some could be
cured If given a chance. In addition
to these, there are the children In
these homes .predisposed TO the dis
ease.
To reach these people, the associa-
tion plans TO place health nurse in
each of the ten health districts to work
with the district health officer; to place
at the disposal of the physicians Of the
state doctor trained in the early
diagnosis of tuberculosis and, lastly,
TO secure the new preventorium offer-
ed by the Proctor family.
Mr.. Slocum states that sixty per
cent of the money will be used exclu-
sively in tine district where il is raised
and all in Vermont.

POOR PROPHETS

"Ten years from now everybody will be liv-
ing in hotels"
That is the prophecy of the American Hotel
Mems Association, which adds:
'"The high cost of living, burglars and nab-
ity to obtain household help, hotel men believe,
will bring about the revolution in home life.
If there ever " a more leaky prediction
made, it was done before they began recording
prophecies in type.
They may be good hotel men. Indeed, most
of them have proven their ability in that line.
But-as prophets? They couldn't bat OLA in the
Tall Grass League.
Never will even majority of mankind live
in hotels. Never until man and woman have so
changed that they no longer care for home of
their own, bit Of yard for the kiddies to play
in, and that honey atmosphere impossible to
reproduce in a hotel.
Few persons now live in hotels. They live
there only because they have no homes to live
in. Other hotel dweers don't Give" there.
They merely stop there It is a handy stop
ping place, en- route to or from home. And
that is the best that can be said about it.

JURY OF NEIGHBORS

They have unearthed a new divorce idea in
Liverpool n. Z. When the Rev w W. Brunk
and his wife couldn't get along as husband
and WIFE there was no resort to court room,
judge or law. The case of husband versus
wife was tried by the neighbors, who acted as
Judge and jury Their verdict advised separa-
ton
Usually when husband and wife disagree
the domestic linen is washed in the publicity of
a court room. The judge, seldom knows the
complainant or defendant All he finds out
about them is what is told on the witness stand
He hears many cases, and is very apt to decide
them from brain, rather than from heart"
Not SO with jury of neighbors. They know the
husband and wife; have known both for years
None better knew whether they should continue
trying to live together or whether they should
separate. They know all the little intimate
things of their family life, such details as might
change the whole complexion of a divorce case.
but which too often are not considered in a
court room.
Of course, under present law, such neigh
bofly decision isn't official It is merely adj
yisory, But it is an interesting experiment.
The jury of friendly neighbors may smooth
over a matrimonial tangle, which, otherwise
would end in divorce. Neighbors can do much
toward helping discordant couple steer clear
Of the breakers-if they will! And they, better
than judge, can tell when 3 marriage is TAB
soMtely hopeless" and the parties to it should
go their separate ways

Plain Talk on
Home Rule Bill

Glasgow.-The governments Home
Rule Bill for Ireland was denounced
by Joseph Devlin as a "humbug to
throw dust in the eyes of the people
of America and elsewhere" in speech
he delivered here recently. Mr.. Devlin
declared that it was not bill for
Home Rule, nor a plan to settle the
Irish question, but for the permanent
division of Ireland into two sections.
The best thing the government could
do, he said, was to drop the bill, re-
sign Office and let "the enlightened
judgment of the British electorate
give Ireland what she wanted
T. P. O'Connor called the measure
IAN outrage and an insult" and said
that "a more impudent, arrogant, in
sulting, lying proposal was never made
by any body of men in the world" He
characterized the action of the govern
ment in suggesting repeal of the
Home. Rule Act of 1914 as more
perfdious breach of treaty than the
Germans breach of treaty with Bel
GUM"

1.-THE OLD WOMAN

At the nearby table in the restaurant two
young women We're discussing the age of a
man employed in the office where they worked.
Il don't think he is very DID, one said
Eyes, he is; I'm sure he is exclaimed the
other. -
But he doesn't look it" argued the first
Il know he doesn't, but he's old just the
same"
"How do you know"
well, the other day heard him speak of his
wife as the old woman, and if she's an old wo-
man he can't be SO very young, do you think y
Eyes," decided the first young woman. Il
guess you're right. When they begin referring
to their wives as the old woman they're as old,
or older"
The moral? AS obvious as the nose on your
face: Don't let anyone hear you call your wife
''the old woman Not even your wife!
