CHECKING THE TROUBLE AT
THE START

Early Discovery--Early Recov-
cry" will be the underlying motive
of the tuberculosis clinics that will
be held throughout the country DUR
ing April In connection with the an
nual "Find the Early Case cam
paign of the National tuberculosis
Association. Chest clinics will be
held as usual during the month thru
out Maryland for the examination of
persons--young or old--who show
signs of the disease or who have
been In contact with it and special
efforts will be made, as always, at
these clinics to discover early indi-
cations of the disease 80 that reme-
dial measures may be started with
out delay.
Pointing out that tuberculosis Is
much less of a menace when 1t can
be checked at the start and that
every case of tuberculosis is caught
from some other case, DR.. r. HI.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health said For a long
time the individual who has picked
up the infection may give no out
ward sign of the disease and an x-ray
examination is necessary to show
that the germ that causes tubercu-
losis has established itself in the
system. The earlier the discovery,
the greater the possibility of cure or
control.
Tuberculosis is no respecter of
persons and every age group Is sus-
ceptible to 1t. But it takes its heav-
lest toll among young people--boys
and girls still at school, young men
and women just reaching maturity,
fathers and mothers with youngsters
depending upon them. Very often the
infection is of long standing and
has remained quiescent until some
illness or long continued strain
broke down the individuals power
of resistance and the disease has de-
veloped.
'The chest clinics held through
out the Counties of Maryland have
been of inestimable benefit to thous-
ands of Marylanders. They are main
tanned under the joint auspices of
the State Department of Health and
the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton and are made possible largely
through funds drived from the sale
of the Christmas seals. The x-ray
outfits that are such an important
part of the clinic equipment come
largely from that source, also.
"The clinics are held monthly, or
oftener, in some counties. Three
hundred and twenty-five clinics were
held in 1910; over $500 persons
were examined at them and 1859
x-rays were taken; 954 of which
showed the presence of the disease.
Advice in regard to the necessary
care is part of the clinic procedure.
1.-THE clinics are free and are for
all age groups. The arrangements in
each county are under the charge of
the County Health Officer. Complete
information with regard to dates,
places, and hours, for the clinics,
may be obtained from the County
Health Officer of each County.

HOPE AROSE OUT OF THE
EMPTY TOMB

Easter commentaries and incar-
mates the resurrection of Christ. 1t is
the annual festival of eternal hope,
inspired by that fact. He is not
here; for He is risen as He said.
Come, see the place where the tomb
was empty.
Christianity rose out of that en-
PITY tomb. Christian civilization with
all of it's physical, mental, moral and
religious phenomena, rose out OF it.
Christian art in architecture, sculp-
ture, painting and music, comes
from the same source. Philosophy
and science follow a risen Lord. The
uplifted moral and spiritual life of
the individual and the world is a
vital witness to this fact Rain finds
it's radiant proof in blooming flow
ers. The resurrection of Christ finds
similar proof in the growing life
and institutions of Christianity. The
human witnesses to the empty tomb
are gone but Christianity is a liv-
ing witness giving incontrovertible
proof of risen Lord. Sin register
ed it's verdict against Christ in the
crucifixion, but the supreme court OF
the universe reversed this judgment
in the resurrection.
God steps out of the shadow in the
resurrection of Christ. The resur-
rection of Christ brought immortal
ity to light. The vague was dark
ened by doubt, was changed to the
assurance of a dominant faith, and
human despair was changed to rad
liant hope.
Let us try the pragmatic test. Does
the theory of Christ's resurrection
work? Emphatically, it does, Rev.
H. w. Knickerbocker asserts, in the
Houston Post. Put to the test of
practical use, it accomplishes divine
results, and the truth of the theory
is proved by this fact, can lie be the
source of truth? Can hell be the
source of heaven? Is Christianity
with it's righteousness the product of
a stolen dead body? You may deter
mine the nature of a cause by its eff
feet. Like begets like. The resurrec-
ton of Christ is proved by the fact
of Christianity, and the truth OF
Christianity by the resurrection OF
Christ. The spirit of Christ is rising
into the heart of humanity, and one
day the moral resurrection from the
death of sin will be complete in a
Christlike world. This is "the one
far off divine event toward which the
whole creation moves"

All FOOD GIRLS HELP FILL
GAP In DEFENSE PLAN

With farm women's duties aug
mented by the defense program,
All club girls have increased chanc-
es to apply their training, and one
will be in preparing and serving nu-
tritious, well-planned family meals.
An extra incentive to such work is
the National All Food Preparation
Contest, now presented for the sew
enth consecutive year under the di-
rection of the extension service. The
activity also encourages girls to
demonstrate cooking methods to
others.
Calculating that 100000 girls will
conduct food work this year. their
contribution to national nutrition
may be visualized by top 1910 in
dividual achievements. Among such,
which covered a number OF years,
was that of a Wisconsin girl who
baked 2,207 patches of biscuits and
bread; an Oregon clubster made 10
exhibits; a Rhode Island lass DEM
onstrated before "a audiences, and
one from Georgia prepared several
thousand special dishes, and super
vised SO members; North Cardinals
honor girl demonstrated food pre-
paration and served 1,130 meals.
Outstanding work in the contest
will receive recognition from Servel
home service department in the form
of medals for county winners. all
expense trips to the National All
Congress in Chicago next November
for State honor recipients, and $500

THE EASTER BUNNY

Just how the hare came to be con-
nected with Easter customs we do
not know, but we do know that
among some nations the hare is a
type of the moon. In fact, the Chin
csc represent the moon as a rabbit
pounding rice in a mortar, while
Hindu and Japanese artists paint the
hare across the face of the moon.
AS the time of the Easter festival is
governed by the phases of the moon
this may be an explanation Of their
connection.
The mythical natural history OF
the Hindus tells us that hares live
on the shores of the lake of the
moon.
In Swabia the children are not al
lowed to make shadow pictures o.
rabbits on the wall, because it i.
considered sin against the moon.
The colored folk OF the Southei.
states have a strong belief in til
power of the "left hind foot OF
graveyard rabbit" killed in the dal.
of the moon.
In County Warwick, England,
the young men of the town can car.
hare and bring it to the parson
the parish before ten O'Clock L
Easter morning he must give them
calf's head, one hundred eggs l.
their breakfast and groat IL
money.
Nowadays the Easter bunny has
become so confused with the Easter
egg custom that the hares are sup
posed to lay the many colored eggs
the children find on Easter morning.

sABOTEUR PAR EXCELLENCE

At the end of May, the National
Board of Fire Underwriters will
celebrate its 18th anniversary. And
that celebration should be shared by
the whole country--no organization
has done as much to fight fire on
all fronts, and to encourage COM
munities, industries and individuals
to protect their properties against
an enemy which is menacingly ION
the job" "a hours day, 365 days a
year.
Furthermore, the end of the Ma
tional Boards first three-quarters
of a century Of achievement in the
public interest should serve to en-
courage the entire country to join
in a continuous, unremitting fight
against fire that will get results
far superior to any attained in the
past.
At any time, fire prevention is a
duty and an obligation we owe to
our neighbors and our community,
no less than to ourselves. At this
time, fire prevention becomes a ma
tional responsibility, because Of ma
tional defense. Fire is the ''sabo-
teur" par excellence. Fire wastes.
Fire delays. Fire destroys. It con-
sumes that most precious of ele-
ments--time. 1t gives no quarter. It
is the most ruthless of conquerors.
Luckily, fire isn't invincible. 1t
wins it's victories because of human
laziness, human ignorance, human
carelessness, human responsibility.
1t feeds on these common failings--
and fire is licked to fragile.

ASPEN COMING
into ITS 0W n
''Valueless" Trees In National
Forest Being Used for
Boxes, Ties.

The sale of timber and forest pro-
ducts from the Superior National For
est continues to increase in amount
and value because of increasing de-
Tense needs, said Clare Hendee, Duluth
forest supervisor
The past summer, the demand for
pulpwood Of al species was great, and
there was more pulpwood stumpage
sold from government land than for
many years. This demand has de-
creased since the summer season. al
though many operators are now cutting
rough pulpwood. This viii continue
through the winter months.
The present heavy demand on the
forest Is for sawlog and tie timber
as well as box lumber. Such species
as aspen, which in years past was a
weed tree Of no value, is in good de-
mand for box lumber and tie timber
even In outlying districts.
During the past summer, the volume
OF timber products sold on the Super
Tor National Forest has surpassed any
other three-month period In the last
six years. From July 1 to September
80. total of 1916, 900 board feet
OF timber, valued at S29, e92 90, was
sold. Only one-ffth of this was re-
ported as cut during the same period
this balance to be cut this winter
This total volume Of sales consisted OF
Is sales over $500 total stumpage value
and III sales Of less than $500 total
This large number of small sales rep
resents increased activity by the small
operator and local loggers who live
IN the forest area.
This increase in sales work is fol-
lowed by an increase in work to i'm
prove the condition of the sale areas
On some sales, part of the sales price
Is used to improve the condition OF
the area after cutting by planting more
desirable species, release of natural
reproduction, or pruning of red and
white pine trees to produce higher
quality sawlogs. Funds collected for
this purpose are used to employ local
labor to do the work.
Many of the timber stands on the
forest are over-mature, and the re-
moval OF these trees through sales,
leaving the young, thrifty trees. viii
place the timber stands in a healthy
growing condition, less subject to
damage and loss from insect, disease,
and wind. All Of the timber sales are
located outside Of the Roadless Areas.
and no cutting is permitted along auto
mobile roads, rivers, or lake shores. /"
