committee, and the investigation
covered 81 of the 81 Veterans
Administration hospitals scattered
all over the country.
AS originally planned, the inquiry
would have cost $4,000 or more,
but arrangements were made to
have individual committee members
during the intermim between the
last Congress and the new Congress
look into conditions in the hospitals
nearest their homes.
Instead of the entire committee

the Government had to pay only
the travelling expenses of the in
dividual members to and from their

Negro churches, the latter tending
to heal the wound which led to es-

before the Civil War.
Saw the election by Protestant

test against too much episcopal
power.

bishops by jurisdictions.

Echo of LandOn Proposal.
An echo of the unsuccessful fight
led by ALI M. Landon to send back
to committee a clause of the church
social creed supporting members
who are conscientious objectors" to
war was seen by some delegates In
one sction of the peace resolution
1t read:
There exists an honest differ
ence of opinion in regard to the
particular form which the convic-
ton of that (MethodiSD Church in
this crucial (peace) issue ought to
take"
The conscientious objector"
clause, however, which also recog-
nizes the right of those members
whose consciences so dictate to
serve in the armed forces in time
of war, stood as it was adopted.
The peace resolution merely
pledged the church to undivided
opposition to the spirit of war; to
exert every possible influence" for
peaceful settlement of international
differences; to urge Congress and
the President to take every possible
step to avoid the ENHANCEMENT" of
this Nation in war and to provide
for peace education of children.
The conference also pledged allie
glance of the new church to the
Federal Government.
Arms Proposal Killed.
A proposal that the conference
oppose shipment of munitions to
Japan unofhcially was reported killed
in a committee which held the ac-
ton was not within the legal prov
ince of the uniting group. Gov.
Landon contended the "conscien-
tious objector" clause should be re-
ferred until the Japanese resolution
was acted upon.
The vote by which delegates
turned down the plan OF full clergy
rights for women was 384 to 371.
Previously the Methodist Protes-
tant Church granted full clergy
rights, the North church ordained
women and permitted them to
preach but not to vote in general
conferences. The South church
granted no clergy rights.
The North church plan was adop-
ted by the conference. Rights of
existent Methodist Protestant women
ministers were not affected.
The complex problem OF how to
harmonic the youth organizations
of the three churches was left un-
determined For the next four years
the separate Epworth Leagues Of
the North and South churches and
the Christian Endeavor OF the
Protestant Church will continue as
individual organizations.
Eventually, the conference de-
cided, members of those groups can
work out plans for single organ

EARLY TREATMENT
 FOR PNEUMONIA
Serum Held in Readiness to Aid Victims
 of Disease

Stressing the importance of early administration of serum in cases of pneumonia Willard Knowlton, M. D., director of the Bureau of Pre- ventable Diseases in the current issue of the Monthly Bulletin of the State Department of Health reviews the procedure to follow should a case of pneumonia occur.
 The following steps were recom- mended:
 l. Call a physician immediately upon suspicion of pneumonia. Any one or more of the following symp- toms should be counted as possible danger signals of pneumonia. A sudden elevation of temperature, chill, pain in the chest or side, blood t1nged or ruSty-appearing sputum, nausea or extreme fatigue.
 2. Save the sputum in a clean cup or dish before the doctor ar rives.
 3. Provide messenger service for taking specimens of sputum to the laboratory for typing.
 4. Follow the doctors advice with regard to prompt treatment with anti-pneumoccoccic serum.
 During the first II months of 1888 only 8 per cent of lobar pneumonia patients died compared with 35-40 per cent fatality the previous few years. Undoubtedly the prompt use of the new therapeutic pneumonia serum played an important part in the saving of over 200 lives.
 Under section 2392 of the General Statutes the State Department of Health is authorized to distribute biological products such as anti pneumoccoccic serum with the fol- lowing restrictions CD that the biologics be distributed to health officers or their duty authorized agents only, and CD that such products may be furnished free only to residents of Connecticut upon whom their purchase would impose a financial hardship. Serum is available to all however, for in or der to avoid delay in cases of en- ergency have been made whereby biologics furnished by the state may be purchased by non-residents or by residents who would not find it a financial hardship to pay for them.
 Announcement is also made of a 24 hour pneumonia diagnostic ser vice in the State Laboratory which will be maintained throughout the pneumonia peak months until March 31, 1889 in order to assure prompt diagnosis and early administration of serum to pneumonia cases.
 A worker will be at the laboratory to furnish service for typing pneu-
