FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE

If you haven't yet taken occasion to invest in of
the Christmas seals put out by the National Tubercu-
losls Association, would be good time to do So
The fight against tuberculosis is winning but great
deal of work still remains to be done, and it costs
money to do it. Buying these seals will help fill the
war chest for the coming year.
Very real gains have been made, and it is encourage
ing to review them.
An article in the current issue of Good Housekeep
ing magazine points out that whereas 25 years ago.
bercuosis claiming 200 lives in each 100 900 annu-
ally the toll today less than half of that figure At
the beginning of the century the situation regard
ed as almost hopeless; the leaders in the anti
tuberculosis campaign looking forward confident
y to the day when the scourge will be eliminated
tirely.
Part of the fight against the disease, of course
sists in preventive measures but great deal of it
lies in curing the sufferers who have already contract
ed it-a task that considered impossible few
years ago.
THE road back to health is long one, long and
uncertain unless the patient has rest and untroub
ed mind and good food, says the magazine. These
must frequenty-if not usually-be provided for
through outside the patients family. Hence
the necessity for larger sums of money. There are
100000 tuberculosis in the country today.
Hence the need for an ever-increasing army of seal
purchasers
This campaign is worthy you are likely
to encounter in the of year If you haven't
bought any seals yet, today would be good day to
begin. You will be contributing directly to very fine
and important movement

EXIT THE LOAN SHARK

The day of the old-tashoned loan shark, with his
usurous rates of interest and heavhanded methods of
collection, is fast passing.
Twenty-eight states have passed laws governing
small loans which carry punishment for violation
both fine and Imprisonment. Twenty-three states do
not permit the charging of fees, limiting the cost of
the loan to interest only Twenty-seven states require
that the interest be computed only the unpaid bal
ances. Practically all of the larger industrial states
have enacted regulatory laws.
1t difficult to estimate the toll the unscrupuous
loan shark exacted from saared men who, through
sickness or other misfortune, in need of ready
cash. However, with regulation and control some
idea of the size of the business be obtained Fairly
accurate figures show that approximately S500O0OOOO
of such loans made yearly. The average loan is
S123 which would place the yearly number of loans at
100000.
The largest single company in this business making
loans at 2l per cent month, reports S3OOOOOOO out
on loans with 235 900 customers on its books.

Carter is in charge of Forest Management of all the National forests of the United States. He came to Alaska on a short trip of inspection and to discuss matters of forest admin istration with the district officers who have their headquarters at Juneau. Mr. Carter stated before returning to the states that he saw no reason why contracts for pulp and timber in this district should not be successfully executed by the Forest Service with the Cameron Chandler interests of California who are said to be now negotiating for timber for a large pulp and paper project.

 These are some of the flowers we have already seen: larkspur. water violets, Indian paint brush, cats ears, birds bill, columbine, purple and yellow violets. bleeding hearts, lupine and Mt.
