NUMBER OF EX-SERvICE MEN
IN HOSPITALS INCREASING

st. Louis. Nov.-Red Cross nurses
and public health nurses. working
under the Red Cross in the South
western Division, are finding con-
stantly increasing numbers of gas
cases growing out of the effects of the
world war. This statement was Civ
en- out at the Office of the Southwest
orn Division In st. Louis in answer to
a question as to why there are so
many more tuberculosis cases among
ex-service men now than at the close
of the war. The after effects of the
poison by gas used in the war are
growing more pronounced every day,
Jas. l.. Fieser, manager Of the South
western Division said
Many of these men did not feel
great inconvenience after recovering
the first effects of the gas and were
discharged with a small percentage
of disability. In the months imme-
diately following the close of the war
gas cases were rare, but as time pas
ses the effects of the poison are be-
coming more alarming, and men who
were supposed to be well are now de-
veloping gastric troubles. intestinal
diseases, tuberculosis and other af-
fections, all directly traceable to the
poison gas which got them" in the
trenches.
In 1919 there were $500 ex-seryice
men in the hospitals under govern
ment care. In 1920 this number had
increased to 1850, and in 1921
there are 26,30O. Al the same rate
of progression there may be 10000
in 1922. A very large percentage of
these cases are gas cases primarily
and are causing the medical profes-
sion and public health authorities of
the country no little concern, Fieser
said.

Christian Endeavor
Notes

Last Sunday afternoon at 2:30
Christian Endeavor team from Colo
RADIO Springs came to Elizabeth to
hold meeting. The meeting was in
charge of Miss Elizabeth Stark, pres
ident of the District Christian En-
deavor Association. The district
which includes the Elizabeth and Ell
bert Societies is called the Pixies Peak
District.
Miss Mia Allison, formerly of FL
bert. gave fine talk on the interme-
diate department of the Christian En-
deavor. Mr.. Howe gave a talk on
planned the Quiet Hour and many
signed the Quiet Hour pledge She
|also led the congregation in many
songs, among which was the Colorado
Christian Endeavor song.
Miss Stark explained many things
which will be helpful to all the en-
deavorites present. Our society has
the pleasure of being classed with
the thirtythree chartered societies.
AT the close of the meeting Miss
STARK was introduced to the officers
Iof the Elizabeth society. A large
lcrowd attended among which were
several of the Ebert endeavorites.
We are expecting a visit from Jack
Cecil soon.

most valuable one, providing the saw

to miserliness. The genius TO make
money is a real genius and some have

serves high honor If 1t is used for

not ours but Gods, we shall save our
selves endless worries and fears for
God may be counted upon to care for
what is His own. God loves a cheer
full giver but a gift bestowed grudg

to give is the real gift. A person new
er knows how much he can give until
he really tries. The Son of Man had
not where to lay his head. and yet
He made the unspeakable gift to the
world. Let us remember this when
we think we have nothing to give.
Tithing should be practiced by all
Christians.
Paul Vest was elected secretary
for the coming year.
There were between twenty-five
and thirty at Endeavor Sunday night.
We're expecting a very interesting
meeting next Sunday night at 6;45.
Miss Anna Drummond will lead the
meeting and let's see another large
crowd.

MONDELL DEFENDS HOUSE

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Repre-
sentative Frank w. Mondell of Wyo-
ming. majority leader in the House,
resents the carefully cultivated
Democratic attempt to spread the
idea that the Republican Congress
is not spending enough. He says:
I'VE were a few days late in get
ting started. owing to the fact that
the minority did not have their
committee places filled. Since that
time by unanimous consent we have
several times adjourned over Satur-
day. And may I suggest to the
gentleman from Texas and to the
other gentlemen on that side that il
that is held to be killing time I shall
not hereafter prefer any request for
unanimous consent to adjourn over
Saturday? Notwithstanding these
adjournments. for which they have
pleaded. we have worked more con-
tinuously and diligently and have
passed more good legislation through
the House in this session Of Congress
than in any like period during the
twenty-five years I have been in
Congress and no one can deny that
fact. We are progressing in a bust
nesslike way and are disposing OF
many very important and pressing
ouestiOns."
