NEXT OF KIN ARE
GIVEN DIPLOMAS
OF FALLEN HEROES

About fifty ex-soldiers attended
the memorial services at the First
Presbyterian church last night. Be-
sides the soldiers there were many
relatives and friends at the serv-
ices. The event was the presenta-
ton. of the French Memorial
diplomas to relatives of soldiers
who died in service during the
world war.
Oscar E. Carlstrom, commander Of
Fallerans post of the American le-
gion, presented the diplomas in-the
name of the French government.
Services in other churches Of the
city were suspended last night to
allow the congregations to attend
the memorial services. Pastors Of
various churches assisted DR.. A.
Judson Ar ck, minister at the
Presbyterian church, in the serv-
ices last night.
Sixteen of the French diplomas
we're received and presented last
night. These did not cover the total
number of Mercer soldiers who died
in service. Owing to the lack of
complete records Mr.. Carlstrom
was unable to forward the total
list in time for the French repre-
sentative to send all the diplomas.
Mr.. Carlstrom has secured COM
plete list of men in this county who
died in service and will send it to
the French representative immed-
lately. AS soon as the remaining
diplomas are received they will be
given to the nearest relative of the
deceased soldier.
Following is the list of soldiers
for which memorial diplomas were
received and presented at last
nights services:

In summing up the thoughts con-
corning the tuberculosis campaign I
would urge you all to realize that you
can each and every one help in this
tuberculosis fight. Physicians can help
by teaching prevention of tuberculosis
and urging regular examinations. The
teacher can help by pushing the Mod.
ern Health Crusade and keeping the
class room well ventilated. And to the
parents are given many opportunities
to help by keeping the home clean and
we'll ventilated, teaching the children
to sleep with the window open wide.
providing proper and nourishing food,
observing the laws of health and not
dissipating their strength.
Children may help by keeping clean,
staying as much as possible in the
fresh air and sunshine and by eating
only clean and proper food. And as
Sir William Osler says, "The battle
against tuberculosis is not doctors
affair, it belongs to the entire public.

the nurse may carry on her work. We
want place where any one going to
the county seat may feel free and an
xious to 60 and consult the nurse on
matters pertaining to the work. The
ultimate success of the clinics de-
ponds upon the cooperation of the
medical profession, the anti-tubercu-
losis leagues and other local organi'
cations. Time for consultation work
will be given if any physician desires
to confer with the physician in charge
concerning some of their doubtful
cases of tuberculosis. In one county
DR.. Cary visited, out Of thirteen per-
sons examined eleven were accompan-
led by physicians. The success OF this
work through the clinics Is already
assured. DR.. Cary as consulting dag
nostican, is surely we'll qualified for
this position. All of his training has
been along specialized lines in tuber-
culosis work, and he has been in
charge of two sanitoria, one in this
state and one in California. and also in

Of the largest mastodons ever discov-

which measured fourteen inches at one
end and five inches at the other and

The skeleton lies next to the hard
suface of the magnesite and is covered

President Wilson yesterday sign

oil-bearing public lands. The meas

effort in Congress.
Sufficient supply of fuel oil for
the American navy and merchant
marine was one of the principal
considerations In President Wilson's
study of the bill. He is understood
to have delayed affixing his sigma
ture to the bill until conferences with
Chairman Payne. Of the Shipping
Board, and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels had convinced him that the
American fleets would secure suffi-
cient oil supplies under It's provi-
