TRACHOMA IS
VERY SER IOUS
in NEAR EAST

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Tracho-
ma, dread eve disease of the Orient
and most ancient of recognized hui
man ills, is seen as a world men
ace by DIR. r. T. Pulls, of Kansas
City, noted American eve special
list, who has returned to this coun-
try after an exhaustive survey of
the disease throughout the Levant
in behalf of the Near East Relief.
DIR. Uhls, after three years of
service as eye specialist of the re-
lief organization. began his final
survey six months ago travelling
from Armenia across Persia and
Turkestan to Afghanistan and the
Chinese border. Because of his sue
cess in combating the disease in
Armenia, the Moscow government,
which controls most of the terri
tory in which his researches were
conducted, opened public health
records to him and ordered the CO.
operation of native physicians.
Infection runs higher than fifty
per cent of the total population in
all areas visited, according to DR..
Uuhls, with a very large proportion
of blindness as direct result of
the disease.
Standards Lowered
The Generalization of native
health services since the war and
the tremendous lowering in the
standards of living caused by in
vasion and periods of famine are
chiefly responsible for the marked
increase in trachoma, DR.. Uhls said.
He said his researches showed
that the disease could be prevent
ed and cured, however, and he point
ed to the results obtained by the
Near East Relief in Armenia, where
eleven thousand cures have been
effected among children in the re-
lief organizations orphanages, more
than eight thousand having been
cured during the past year.
'Relief measures also are con
tributing indirectly to the fight
against trachoma in Armenia by
the improved methods of sanitation
which Americans have introduced
and to the increased interest i'll
healthier living conditions which
they have awakened in the people, -
DIR. Uuhls said. "With the CO.
operation of the government, a
public health service has been or
ganized that is carrying on an eff
fective educational campaign among
the peasants in the outlying dis
trictsr and the more ignorant people
in the slums of the cities"

Set Natural Forces to
Work Says Noted
Scientist. Chronic
Cases are Not Hopeless

Millions of people drag through
life in a weakened anaemic condi-
ton subject to all the distressing
ailments that afflict the weak ard
unhealthy when health, strength
and happiness might be theirs for
the asking. They are weak and
head-achy, constantly bothered with
indigestion and lack of appetite
they are nervous, irritable and dis
couraged, with barely enough
strength to perform their daily
tasks. They get little satisfaction
out of life because they have not
the physical or mental energy to
enjoy the company of others or
make others enjoy them. Their
work is burden and their daily
life a monotonous grind.
To all such people M. Andre gives
message of hope and cheer. You
can again enjoy the blessings of
health, strength and happiness.
Nature is working with you,
not against you, and if you
give her the proper assistance
she will restore you, declares
the noted chemist.
Your condition may be chronic,
but it is by no means hopeless.
Start all the forces OF nature to
working properly and watch the
barometer of health climb upward.

instead of fighting continuously at
close range" Harry Wills declared
after his victorious battle.
Although it seemed to observers
that the negro was doing most of the
holding. Wills declared Firpo was the
most eager to clinch and hold.
"Firpo is game and he knows how
to handle himself" praised the negro,
but his hardest punches didn't hurt
me-"
Asked about the blow that knocked
Firpo down, Wills insisted 1t was fair
and denied that he took advantage of
the Argentine at any time.
I'm ready to give Firpo a return
bout any time. anywhere-in his own
home town if he wants it, added
Wills.
F'irpo charged after the battle that
he was repeatedly fouled by the big
negro.
Continual fouls by Wills made it
impossible for me to fight my fight"
declared the Argentine. through an
interpreter. Firpo asserted that
Wills used unfair tactics when he
dealt the blow that resulted in the
Argentine's knock-down in the sec
ond round, and declared the negro
repeatedly used questionable tactics
on the breaks.
The blow that sent Firpo down for
count of four was the only one that
hurt him. he said.

Firpo carried swollen right jaw, a

morale. he declared. adding that when
he was served with a warrant yester-
day he became worried over the sit

Firpo disclosed that he had sent
