Tuberculosis Hospital

(Gadsden Evening Journal)
 If the members of the legislature, along with Governor Brandon, could be told the story of the Etowah county fresh air camp, and could make personal visit to that camp, the Journal feels sure that the movement for state sanatorium would be successful. And Etowah county is only one of the units of the state in which the fight against tuberculosis is being waged success fully.

BY Josephine Van de Grift

New York, Aug. 31.-For four
years Catherine Martin has seen hu-
man nature at its worst. She has
encountered men ranking with We
nom, women torn with melancholia,
city FOUNDERS worn with nights of dis
sipation. And yet, she has but to
speak and the rancor vanishes. the
melancholia lifts, the world WEAKNESS
disappears.
The magic formula which Cath
crime uses is GOOD morning, Nj.
johnson, it's half past seven"
She's the official getter-up at a
hotel. Eevery morning via telephone
she rouses 600 individuals from their
beds and sees them start the day
right.
She tells them about the weather.
tells emf they ask-what kind Of
clothes to wear, what time to take
their medicine, what time to keep
their appointments.
And here, according to Catherine
are some of the things that come back
over the wire when she says, Good
morning."
"Well, my dear, ordinarily I'd be
in a very bad humor this morning
but at the sound of your sweet voice
can't say a thing except thank
you very much and I'll get right up"
Or Jaw well, awright-ugh-ugh-I
spose I'll hafta-but say how'se tn,
weather this morning? Think, / bet
ter wear my rubbers?"
Or "Oh say, be a good kid and
give Jus another five minutes and I'll
get right up"
It's this last class. says Catherine,
that tries a woman's soul. First
they want five minutes and then an
other five minutes and sometimes
you'll be ringin' 'em till 8 o'clock and
still they don't seem to be able to
negotiate the distance between the
foot board and the fur rug.
Once there was a man that got
Catherine downright alarmed.

This New Treatment
Never Fails to End Piles

Many sufferers from Piles or Hem
orrho'ds have become despor.cnt be-
cause they have been led to believe
that their case was hopeless and that
there was nothing in the world to
help them.
To these people we say. eco to
your druggist and get an original box
of MOANA SUPPOSITORIES." One
of these inserted into the rectum ac-
cording to directions will be found to
give immediate relief They reach the
source of the trouble and by their
soothing, healing. antiseptic action
first allav the pain and soreness and
then by direct contact with the ulcers
and piles cause them to heal up and
disappear forever.
It's simply wonderful how speedily
they act. Blessed relief often comes
in two days. Even in cases that have
steadily resisted all known treat
ments. marvellous results have been
obtained.

speaker from Austin. who was I'M

Everything was orderly and peace
able, the crowd was good natured and

The marching klansmen came from
nearby towns of Taylor, Bartlett,
Cameron. Granger, Cause, Hearne,
Thorndale, while not few were from
Austin and towns between there and

TOBACCO GROWERS
LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
FOR NEW MEMBERS

The Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association is now entering upon an
intensive campaign for new members
and the prospects are exceedingly
bright for a very large membership
Every member has caught the spirit
of cooperation and they are putting
their shoulders hard against the
wheels-doing their part in making
this campaign a splendid success.
There is only one way for the farm
ers to get fair price for his product
and that is through cooperative mar
keting. There are only two kinds of
people against this system of busi-
ness, and they are-First. the ones
who do not understand the meaning of
cooperation; and, second. the ones
who have Interior motives. or their
own selfish interest in the old method
of marketing.
The splendid success of the CO.
operative marketing of other COM
modities is surely a splendid example
for the growers of tobacco to follow
1t is an indisputable fact that the
only failures that have been met by
any cooperative marketing associa-
ton have been caused by extreme bad
management. These associations
have been and always will be success
full when operated by competent men
and for a legitimate profit. Every
man who joins the Maryland Tobacco
Growers Association is showing by
his action that he is trying to do his
best for himself. his family, his neigh
borhood, his State, and his govern
ment. His act creates a wave. the
motion of which is felt throughout the
nation. He is certainly doing the
right thing and has right to be
proud of doing it.
Join the association today. and help
to put the Maryland tobacco grower
on his feet is the plea issued.

SWEEPING CHANGES IN

Officers on duty at the local station

MANY ORGANIZATIONS
REQUIRED TO STUDY
RESEARCH PROBLEMS

A recent report of DR., j. r. Mohler.
chief of the Bureau of Animal Indus
try of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, shows that the CO.
operation of many different organiza-
tions is often necessary to study live
stock research problems.
An interesting example is the soft
pork investigation being conducted at
the government experimental farm at
Beltsville. Md. Hogs are fed on vari-
Gus rations at several State expert
ment stations and then shipped to
Beltsville where the slaughtering
curing, and chemical Investigations
are conducted The Institute of
American Meat Packers, ten State ex-
pertinent stations, several divisions
and bureaus of the department, as
well as many farmers and branch sta
lions. are engaged in the study of this
problem.
Studies with guinea pigs to deter
mine the relative Importance of hered-
ity and its factors in resistance to
tuberculosis are being conducted by
the Bureau of Animal Industry in CO.
operation with Dr. Paul A. Lewis. of
the Henry Phipps Institute, of Phila-
delphia.
A study in the Corn Belt and on the
range of the methods and cost of beef
production requires the cooperation
of two bureaus in the Department OF
Agriculture, and State experiment
stations in Indiana. Illinois. Iowa
Nebraska. Missouri, Colorado, Kansas
Oklahoma and Texas.
The policy of the government is to
study only those problems which have
a regional or national character. and
to leave to State experiment stations
those which do not extend beyond
State borders.
