Army Treatment
of Tuberculosis

able in this institution for the treat
ment of tuberculosis.
The surgeon generals office has
taken great pride In this hospital and
has been most energetic in the en-
deavOr to have everything at the top
notch of efficiency. The success
achieved has amply demonstrated
what can be done by skill and devo-
ton.
When the hospital was built In the
fall of 1917'a Western specialist in tu-
berculosis was installed. He re-
tired and returned to private work,
and was succeeded by Col. William c..
Lyster, a regular army man of more
than twenty years service. He had
held very responsible posts in England
and France and had been decorated by
King George with the Order Of st. Mi
chael and ST. George. Prior to tie
war he was known TO army men as
the inventor of the Lyster water bag
for the use of troops in the field
which is always used when fresh wa
ter is understandable.
Many difficulties in the way of pro-
viding an ideal treatment for the tu-
herculOus were encountered at first.
One Of the most apparent was the
amount of money allowed for the daily
ration. The war department allowed
but Ga cents, an amount experts say
is totally inadequate to provide the
proper kind and quality of food re-
CURED by tubercuious patients. 1t is
TO be rememh cred, of course. that
proper feeding is one of the mainstays
of treatment in this disease.
Not Enough Money for Food.
Colonel LISTERS representations to
the war department resulted in tenn
pOrarily raising the ration money from
GA cents to 81, but this was reduced
later to So cents.
The method of treatment followed
at Oteen is that advocated by Colonel
Bushnell. a contemporary of the late
DR.. Edward Trudeau of Saranac Lake,
n. Y. The course is subdivided thus:
Complete rest in bed, partial rest in
bed, and rest by every patient from l
to 3 in the afternoon. In addition, the
patients get good wholesome food and
plenty of fresh air.
Serums and vaccines are not en-
ployed. Artificial pneumOthorax (that
is. cutting into the pleural cavity so
that air can enter and exert pressure
on the lung) is only resOrted TO in
cases of severe, continued hem
orrhage.
The bed linen is changed daily to
prevent reinfectiOn; the sputum cups
are changed twice daily, and everyone
must have lights out by 10 p. m.
The X-ray diagnostic laboratory is
one of the best in the country. Maj
John McRae, who has a fine reputa-
ton in this field, is radiOlOglst Each
patient is photographed upon aGmts-
sion and again every month or two, to
note improvement or retrOgressiOn.
There is also an excellent chemical
laboratory.
Four dental surgeons are constantly
busy seeing to it that the teeth of the
patients are kept in good condition.

are kept spotlessly clean, and the evil

Houston today warned the senate
finance committee that congress
Should avoid putting a heavier bur-
den on the treasury department.
The estimate came as surprise to
the senate, as it was nearly $1,000,-
100000 greater than that recently
estimated by Senator McCumber,
North Dakota, one Of it's members.
For the fiscal year ending June go,
1922 the treasury head estimated
the deficit would be approximately
$1,000, 100000, and he added that it
could be seen that new sources of
revenue must be sought to meet
even current requirements.
Bonus Bill
Mr.. Houston was called -efore the
committee to discuss the soldiers

mates, would require an outlay of
$l,50O,OOO,OO0, and he indicated that
the treasury would oppose any ac-
ton by congress that would tend to
open new drain on the treasury.

he said, that the treasury would be
compelled to launch a new program
of borrowing.

TAKEN TO JAIL
INCOBBCOUNTY

wanted in Cobb county on a charge
of embezzling 100000 of the funds Of

in Atlanta at 1920 o'clock Friday
morning in the custody of Deputy
Sheriff Sanders, Of Cobb county, and
was taken from here to Marietta on
the 8 o'clock interurban car and
placed in the Cobb county, jail. .
Deputy Sanders and Hetrick were
met at the Union station by w. T.
Gloer, general manager of the Ad-
ans National Detective agency,
which trailed Hetrick and captured
him. They wetn together to the
Kimball house and got breakfast.
Hetrick was well dressed and in good
spirits. He told the officers several
which he had e1uded detection since
his disappearance last October. He
said he had been to Florida, to Min
nesota, to New York and to Phila-
delphia. In the last-named city he
worked on newspaper as proof

He was trailed by watching his
wife's letters received at Daytona,
Fla, where she is said to be living
in a fashionable tourist hotel. She
was to meet Hetrick in Columbia

detectives got there first and met him
on arrival.

that he had been planning to return
to Cobb county to straighten out the
financial affairs Of the Acworth
mills and prove his innocence. He
asserted that he was not guilty of
embezzlement but would be able to
show, at the proper time, that others
took the funds. He would give no
hint of the identity of these persons.
