Washington. - Reciprocal inter-
change of certain commodities, includ-
ing foodstuffs, between the Russian
people and Allied and neutral coun-
iris, has been decided upon by the
Supreme council.
The decision, announced through
:ommunique made public by the State
department, provides that facilities
will be afforded the Russian cooper
alive organizations to import clothing,
medicines, agricultural machinery and
other necessaries, in exchange for
grain, fax and other goods of which
Russia has surplus.
Exchange Of Goods Planned.
Permission for the exchange of
goods, the Supreme council asserts, i'm.
plies no change in the policy OF the
allied and associated powers toward
the Russian soviet government. Meth.
er does it, as interpreted by officials
here, amount to the raising of the
blockade, which has been maintained
by the allied and associated govern
ments since soon after the Bolsheviki
seized control of the Russian govern
ment.
The Supreme councils communique
follows:
with a view of remedying the un.
happy situation of the population of
the interior of Russia, which is now
deprived of all manufactured products
from outside Russia, the Supreme
council, after having taken note of the
report of a committee appointed to
consider the reopening Of certain trad
ing relations with the Russian people
have decided that it would permit the
exchange of goods on the basis of reel
procity between the Russian people
and allied and neutral countries.

ANTl-TUBERCULOSIS CLINICS IN
IOWA COUNTY
Mineral Point, May s, 7, 8;
Dodeeville, May 10, II, IL.

Dodgeville and Mineral Point are two
Iowa County communities which will
be visited by the travelling clinic of the
Wisconsin Anti Tuberculosis associa-
ton, giving the people Of the county an
opportunity for free chest examination
by a physician who has had wide
experience in this diagnosis and treat
ment of tuberculosis. The clinic will
be at Mineral Point May 6, Z, and and
at Dodgeville May 10, II and 70. Miss
Cassie Lewis, Red Cross social worker,
is go operating in bringing the clinic to
this county.
The object of the clinic is to reach
undiscovered cases of tuberculosis and
induce them to place themselves under
medical care, either in the sanatOrium
or the home at the earliest possible
moment while the chances for recovery
are best. So successful has the work
been in other communities in which the
clinic has been held that the Wisconsin
Anti tuberculosis association has re-
ceived many requests for its return.
One of the big purposes of the clinic is
to impress the public with the impor-
tance of consulting physician as soon
as there is any reason to suspect the
possibility of tuberculosis or any other
disease dangers.
Members of families in which there is
or has been a known case OF tuberculo-
sis are especially urged to attend the
clinic and make sure of their own
physical condition.
