Acquainted as he Is with all ques-
tions Of general health community inn
provement and relief because Of the
nature OF his work and office, DR.. Far
rand's endorsement is based upon an
expert knowledge of what the Ma
uonal tuberculosis Association has ac-
complished and will accomplish In the
future. His letter to DR.. Charles j.
Hatfield, Managing Director OF the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association, fol-
lows:
81 have been greatly interested IN
the plans that the National Tuberculo-
sis Association is making for the sale
of Christmas Seals during the coming
holiday season. The success of that
effort is Indispensable to the carrying
out of the farreaching plans of the
Association In its fight against tuber-
culoss in this country.
"The American people, in common
with the nations OF Europe, are be-
coming aroused TO the critical impor-
tance of the problem of vitality and
conservation of health as the neces-
sary factor In re-eStablishing the
world after the devastation and de-
structiOn caused by the war. OF all
the preventable diseases, tuberculosis
takes perhaps the first place in iinpor-
tance. For that reason | view with
keenest sympathy and approval the
splendid work which the National Tu-
berculoSis Association IS conducting,
and | trust that the response Of the
American people in the Christmas Seal
Campaign will be generous and univer-
sal. Sincerely yours.

When Armenian funds became In

THRIFT is HABIT; GET IT.

Thrift is habit. A habit is a thing
you do unconsciously or automatically
without thought. We are ruled by our
habits. When habits are young they
are like lion cubs-soft. fluffy. funny.
frolicsome little animals They grow
day by day. Eventually they rule you.
Choose We this day the habit We would
have rule over you. The habit of thrift
is simply the habit which dictates that
you shall earn more than you spend.
In other words, thrift is the habit which
provides that you spend less than you
earn. Take your choice. "-Elbert Hub

Understands Farmers Needs.

While these facts show the financial
relation of Mr.. MOehlenpah TO agricul-
tural interests, they barely hint at his
great activity in behalf of the farmers
for he was active in Wisconsin and a.
Washington. ID. c., in behalf of the
legislation which resulted in the pass
age of the farm loan act. His last
work in Wisconsin before going 10
Washin5ton was that of getting under
way the organization of cattle loan
company for the purpose of financing
the movement Of pure bred stock from
southern Wisconsin TO northern dis
tricts of that state. He had been dc
tive for many years encouraging bet
ter farming and has been identified
with many movements like grain CON
tests, exhibitions in rural schools,
formation of country development AS
sociations and educational excursions
made for the purpose of introducing
pure bred stock and pure bred seeds.
Many times he has been chairman OF
the committee for such work in charge.

However, Mr.. Moehlenpah Is not
merely a country banker. He is one
who understands the larger aspects OF
finance and is able TO think of finan'

FLU HTS CIRCLE;
 SEVERAL ARE IL

According to advices received at Fairbanks today by wireless. the flu epidemic has reached Circle, oldtime mining town on the Yukon. The situation has not reached a serious stage yet, but there are several cases and the isolated residents are preparing for the worst.
 Announcement is made that a quarantine has been established to prevent further travel toward Circle, but it is considered doubtful if the action was taken in time to prevent a run of the epidemic throughout the town. ..-". -"
 Circle also reports the death of Mike Melich, of Fairbanks, at Miller House, on the Fairbanks-Circlet trail, where he was taken down with the epidemic. It is supposed that he was unable to receive proper atten- tion and contracted pneumonia.

SITUATION MUCH IMPROVED TODAY
 IN UPPER TOWN

Reports received from Fairbanks today indicate that conditions Tn the upper town are very much improved, with a steadily decreasing number of new cases and a larger percent ace of recoveries. In fact, things are so well in hand now that the three doctors who have brought the town through its very trying period are now able to get little rest nights.
 The greatest trouble in Fairbanks. as it is in Nenana, is the difficulty in securing nurses, new ones being required all the time to take the places of those who are giving out. Some concern is also felt for the safety of those patients who have been discharged as convalescents. There is disposition there, just as there is in Nenana, to wander about the streets after getting up out of bed. Relapses not only add to the work of nursing, but they are also much more difficult to treat.
 There are only four really bad cases in Fairbanks today, although many of the patients are still very sick. Those for whose recovery some doubt is expressed are Mrs. Bostrom and Stanley Hess, who are under treatment at the hospital /; Spiro tBill) Dragovich. who is q patient in the Catholic church ward, and Perry Willoughby, who is very i'll at his home.

LURE OF HIGH PRICES
 REDUCES RED ARMIES

THE HAGUE.-Russian peasants desert from the Red army at every opportunity and go back to their villages, where they earn more mon- ey than they ever before dreamed of earning, asserts the correspond ent of the Amsterdam Handelsblad, who recently visited Soviet Russia. Nobody thinks of shooting them for desertion.
 For the little they cultivate on their own soil people bring them whatever they want-gold, gramo- phones, clothes, or money" he adds. Nevertheless, the power of the so- viet in the country is very slight The peasant accepted from com munism all that suited him. Hav- ing secured the advantages, he lis tened to the "popes" or village priests, who resist this ungodly and particularly unchristian govern ment."

NENANA MUST HAVE
 MORE NURSES NOW

The epidemic situation. which might otherwise be regarded as hav- ing reached the peak, is rendered very grave today by the shortage of nurses, not sufficient being available at the hour of going to press to carry the work through the night. More nurses simply must be found. It is a case of utmost necessity if the situation is to be controlled at all. If the organization fails at this stage, it will be case of sick ness running riot, with the ikeli- hood Of very serious results. Those in charge of affairs have kept things going thus far only by the hearty cooperation of those who have helped and are still helping. And this cooperation must continue If the town is to be saved from dire consequences. Volunteers are want ed Commands will be resorted to if the worst comes to the worst.
 The spread of the epidemic is not the serious feature of the situation. More cases are under treatment to- day, perhaps, than yesterday. but many of those who have entered the hospitals have been i'll at home for several days, and have reported in or been taken in where they can be under closer observance The num-

 The demonstration took place while a ball, arranged in honor of General Pershing, was in progress, and the automobile in which the general was enroute to the ball was forced to return to the hotel, thru fear that violence might be at tempted.

Der of really new cases is relatively low.
 Twenty-six' were released by Dr. Smith yesterday and a considerable number more today. More might have been released but for the fail ure of numerous of the conval- escents to obey orders. Several of them were on the streets last night when they should have been indoors.
 Dr. Smith says he cannot be re- sponsible for those men who leave the hospitals and then expose them selves needlessly. A relapse not only endangers the life of a pa tient, but it places additional bur dens on the doctor and the exhaust ed nursing staff. It is not fair to the others to take chances.
 Patients who are stlii Tn the hos pitals under treatment are also q source of danger because of the re- fusal of some of them to obey orders, and the impatience of others to leave their beds. Better to get out and stay out than to come back a relapse.
 A number of new cases are re, ported from the end of steel. the total under treatment this afternoon being about 40 And about as many more are i'll at the Kestly camp, two miles beyond the end of steel.
