Meeting Of Nome Health Council

The Nome Health Council met Monday evening January 30, at 8 o'clock at the City Hall.
 The meeting was called to or der by the Chairman, MT. Henry Miller In the absence of the sec retary, Mrs. James Frawley, Miss Lorene Hagen was appointed as temporary secretary.
 Mrs. Ida Sprenger, Nome Pub lie Health Nurse gave sum- mary of the nursing activities for the month of December She stated that there has been a few cases of German measles during the month of December and Jan uary but the disease has been kept under control so far by iSo- lation and immediate exclusion from school of those infected. During the month of February diphtheria immunizations will be offered to the children who have not been immunized previously.
 Mrs. Garnet Martin reported that the school children did well in selling the Christmas seals. The actual amount more than tripled the seal sale for last year
 Dr. Morcom stated that he be- lieved it of interest to the public to know that the native children also took part in the sale of Christmas Seals.
 MT. Harry Hagen reported that the news letter referring 10 the Health Conservation Contest which is sponsored by the United States Chamber of Commerce had been turned over to the Health Council. Chairman Miller stated that the Health Council will investigate the matter fur ther
 It was decided that regular monthly meetings should be held throughout the year. If any one interested in the health move ment, such as members of the Territorial Health Department, come to Nome at a date when no meeting is to be held that a special meeting should be called The Council further decided that successful meeting must be 1 planned in advance SO in the fu- ture the meetings will be plan- ned by the Guidance Committee assisted by the executive commit tee. Mrs. Garnet Martin and Mrs 1 A. Polet, members of the Guid- ance Committee will have charge of the next meeting which is to be held February 27.
 MT. Amer Rydeen mentioned the desirabilty of keeping a pub lie health nurse for the coming year, stating that everyone should know of the valuable work that has been done in the way of public health. MT. Rydeen suggested that Mr. Calvin Pool be consulted about the advisibil- ity of publishing a monthly sum mary of school nursing activities in the school paper. Such an ar- ticle would enlighten parents who are not familiar with that phase of work which is being carried on in the school.
 At the close of the business meeting Mrs. Sprenger gave a talk on tubNrculosis using the isotype tuberculosis charts which have been furnished by the Territorial Health Department. She gave a summary of the cause and treatment of tubercul- osis. How communicable diseases 1 spread is a complicated story but there is always a cause. a carrier and a victim. The cause of tuberculosis issthe germ, an in fected person is the carrier and the contacts are the victims. Tu- berculosis is a family disease"

 One conflict of opinion over what was said concerning how far the President had gone out lining our foreign policy, involv- ed one member of the committee who said as he recalled the dis cussion, the President said he considered that in the event of a world war the frontiers of the United States would be in France. 2 other committeeman denied emphatically, however, that the President said anything of this nature.

 For Himself

Warren K. Billings broke into a big smile at Folsom Prison, when he heard Gov. Olson, dur ing the Mooney pardon hearing Sacramento, suggest the Su- preme Court review the Billings case with a view of recommend ing a pardon for Billings. He was convicted with Mooney in connec ton with the 1916 San Francisco Preparedness Day bombing.

because of the close contacts in the household but it is not in herited. Tuberculosis is passed from one person to another in many ways such as the tuber- culosis mother kissing her baby or by coughing, sneezing and brisk talking that may carry germs in little droplets directly to the lips of another. Germs spat on the ground may be picked up on the fingers of the child and later the fingers are put in the mouth. The exchange of pencils, whistles and candy is another way of passing germs. The four most common symptoms of tu- berculosis are tiredness, cough, indigstion and loss of weight, Other common symptoms are blood splitting, sharp pain in the chest, nervousness and sleepless- ness. None of these symptoms prove that one has tuberculosis but any one of them is a danger signal.
 Diagnosis of tuberculosis is not an easy matter. The physician makes a systematic examination before he determines whether person has the disease Rest in bed is the treatment for tuber- culosis because body rest eases the work of the lungs and gives them chance to heal. In the salI atoriulms everything is arranged for the comfort and we'll being of the patient. He is provided with skilled doctors and nurses and ex pensive equipment ] such as x ray and surgical facilities which he could not have at home.
 The spread of tuberculosis is prevented by protecting those who have the disease. One per son may infect many other peo- pie and if he is cared for in 8 sanatorium he cannot spread the disease to others. When pat ient's disease has healed and he no longer. coughs or spits ap germs it IS perfectly safe for him to live again among his friends for he cannot spread germs.
 Tuberculosis may attack amy one but it is most common among the poor. The disease takes . greater toll among young women than among young men, but af- ter 35 years of age more men than women die of tuberculosu.
 After the conclusion of Mrs. Sprenger's talk, Dr. Morcom ar- swered many questions pertain ing to tuberculosis. He stated that the problem we have n Nome is also an economic prob lem and that isolation of produc- tive cases is necessary before tuberculosis can be stamped out Dr. Morcom also stated that the mortality rate in great in child 'ren Up to two years among the native people. There are two req sons for this namely: tuberculosis and poor food.

Another Instance

goods unusually satisfactory. But that was not

they never conveyed the impression that their

Rather, they convinced one that their sole
ambition was to give you what you wanted if
they agreed that your proposed selection was WISE
When special sales were scheduled, they notified
regular customers, who could make purchases in
advance.
Result? Practically all the clothing needed for

When it was Wall Street that bothered Mr.

When the trade treaty with the British was

This building is to be a great auditorium
providing space where symphony concerts
can be held and also where records of the Civil
War would be preserved.
Senator Walsh. one of our ablest and foremost
leaders in the Senate, has introduced the bill and
it certainly should be given the deepest and
most serious consideration by the rest Of the
Congress. The Capital of the United States
most certainly should be awarded this necessary
addition to its beauty and usefulness
This auditorium should not only be big enough
to accommodate a symphony orchestra, but we
should have stadium in connection with it, big
enough to have the Army and Navy games here
and the other interesting and important events
that happen year in and year out in this
country Of ours.

Even if you don't-at first
and have to make out new notes,
practice which the National AS
sociation of Personal Finance
Companies declares it frowns
upon, paying interest on interest
and on delayed principal up into
the hundreds per cent, he still
won't hear of it; just so long as
you keep paying and paying.
Now such picking up of the
slack in a note, such makings of
new notes because you are in de-
fault of a payment or payments,
is perfectly legal under the small
loan" laws of both Maryland and
Virginia.
One Washington at orney,
versed in the methods of the
moneylenders, declares that if the
borrower, once in default, would
sign no more notes but permit his
salary to be garnisheed, he would
be showing rare commonsenSe even
though still paying through the
nose.
Pretend to "GO Easy"
But it is the policy of many of
the moneylenders to pretend to
go easy on a delinquent, although
getting new notes and interest on
interest. This is done in many
cases for as much as the tariff
will bear before the fateful gar
nishment puts in an appearance
