Tuberculosis
Warnings.
By Brice Belden, M. D.

HE germ Of tuberculosis IL .
very common one and we are
nearly all Of us slightly in
fected with 1t during some time OF
our lives. Whether we can over
come II or not depends on our own
particular vital resistance. II our
resistance is good we overcome
with considerable ease the few
germs which may have entered the
system and there are no i'll effects.
In the cases in which the germ
succeeds in actually injecting the
system the disease may often be
overcome before any great damage
is done, provided that the resisting
powers are properly augmented.
In those cases which do not re-
sist the disease there may have been
an overwhelming number of these
particular germs breathed or other
wise taken in. or the vital resist
ance may have been lowered. Re-
sistance to tuberculosis may be
lowered by the after effects of
previous illnesses or the lowering
may be the result of bad living con-
ditions and unhygienic habits, such
as eating an insufficient amount of
food
All intemperate habits which tend
to break down the general health
will encourage tuberculosis, and un-
hygienic living quarters. overheated
rooms in particular, also invite
this dread disease. Certain occu-
pations in which the workers
breathe in small dust particles show
a marked tendency to cause tuber-
culosis.
Lack OF fresh air and sunlight
are as important causes Of the dis
case as malnutrition. Malnutrition
is especially invited by defective
teeth and mouth breathing, even II
the food Is OF good quantity and
quality.
All those who have not learned
the Importance of proper ventila-
tion arc in danger, and also those
who for one reason or another are
not regulating their diet properly.
Rundown people should learn the
caloric values of foods and every
one should keep his or her windows
open at night all the year round.

GO AS FAR AS
YOU LIKE

A large number of persons
who are evidently reading this
nameless serial with avidity. and
intend submitting titles, have
asked the question, How many
titles may / submit?"
In the beginning 1t was an
nounced that "there will be no
rules or restrictions; everybody
except employees of The Wash
ington Times will be eligible to
compete for the 800 reward"
Therefore, each person may
submit as many titles as he or
she cares to write
A hundred or more titles have
already been submitted. Many
of them are wonderful, but
they don't mean anything be-
cause the story Is not yet finish
ed. Titles should not be sent in
until the last installment of the
serial has been printed.

sELr-sUPPoRTING WOMEN.

Whether the majority Of women
who work are self-supporting has
long been subject for discussion.
In reports on the wages OF women
employed In certain Industries
which the Department OF Labor and
Industries has compiled some In
tercsting data Ia presented to the
public. Ono table, based on stalls
tics gathered in eighteen establish
ments shows that 131 women not
only support themselves. but con-
tribute to the support of others
whih 120 women support them
selves.
In another table, based on facts
gathered from women in eighteen
establishments, figures show that
$50 women are entirely self-sup-
porting against 100 who are not. In
this group wages range from S5 a

thing. The excitement which I had
observed from the window still pre-
vailed, and everybody on the street
seemed intent only on one thing
getting a copy of the latest extra
and devouring it's contents.
Finally, we got to the Department
of Justice, and Juanita and i fol-
lowed our guide into the elevator
and to the third floor.
We were left in an ante-room
while the man who had brought us
along went into another office He
stayed in about half an hour. then
he came to the door and motioned
for Juanita and me to come into the
inner Office.
Knowing nothing but obedience
for the time being at any rate-we
went And Imagine my surprise
when I saw sitting there at the
desk smiling at us-the Attorney
General! / knew II was the Attor-
ney General the minute I looked at
him. although I'd never seen him
before. But I'd seen his pictures
lots of times in the movies and he
looked Just like his pictures.
He motioned US to sit down. And
We sat
II understand that you have
some very valuable information"
he said, speaking directly to me.
And 1 couldn't help but feel fat
tered that he addressed his remarks
to me instead Of Juanita, when she
really was the one who was sup
posed to have the valuable in
formation.
Really I'm not sure know any
thing that may be of value"
answered, rapidly regaining my
composure as l realized that we
were being held only as witnesses.
In the first excitement I'd sort OF
feared that 1 might be held on
suspicion as an accomplice or some
thing because I happened to be
working in the office.
IF what this man tells me Is
correct" the Attorney General said.
"the information that you have will
be of inestimable value"
Then he and the man who had
brought us there took us into an
other room where another man was
sitting. They didn't Introduce us
quite formally. The Attorney Cen
eral just said to him: These are
the young ladies we were telling
you about
Then Juanita and I were put
through a grilling examination or
course there was no third degree
used. 1t wasn't necessary. JuanitA
was Just dying to tell all she knew.
And I had nothing to conceal
