Mobile X-Roy Unit
May Come to County

The following letter was received
by Mrs. Luvia Craven, seal sale
chairman from Arthur E. Rikli, M.
D., in regards to a mobile X-ray
unit to Lincoln County:
Mrs. Luvia Craven
Seal Sale Chairman
Libby, Montana
Dear Mrs. Craven:
! am replying to your letter writ
ten to Mrs. Crockett December Z,
1916, regarding the availability of
the mobile X-ray unit to Lincoln
County.
We have been receiving many re-
quests just like yours for the mobile
unit to visit almost every county
in the state. Since we have only
one mobile unit, it is necessary for
us to 60 first to those counties in
which the incidence of deaths from
tuberculosis is highest; second, to
those counties where we are able
to serve the greatest number of per-
sons; and third, to communities
where there is an intense interest
in the program.
At the present time the mobile
unit is scheduled through April.
There is possibility that we might
come to Lincoln County during the
early part of next summer. This
is not a promise but it is possible
that we might be able to come up
there at that time We can assure
you that sometime within the next
ID months that X-ray facilities will
be available to Lincoln County. We
certainly wish that we could comply
more promptly with your request;
but until we get more X-ray equip
ment, this is not possible.
Very truly yours,
Arthur E. Rikli, M. D.
Director, Division of
tuberculosis Control

OF Sufficient Rice
By PouI S. Kotiebok
Foreign Correspondent Of The stor and

the Chicago Daily News
MANILA, P. T., Oct. 15.-Filipinos
were assured today that despite
sales of rice abroad, they would not
suffer any shortages of this vital
staple.
In a broadcast President Manuel
Roxas allayed popular fears that
expectation of rice to such needed
countries as the Netherlands East
Indies would bring future hardship.
He explained that while rice was
being imported from other countries,
his governments export policy was
necessary to avoid spoilage of vast
rice stocks now in storage.
Maintenance of an adequate
supply Of rice at all times is one of
the basic policies Of my admins
tration," he said.
Mr.. Roxas took occasion to sup
press another criticism of his gov
ernment due to alleged losses Of
canned milk and squid in the Gus
tody of the federal-owned National
Trading Corp. He said that reports
submitted to him show such losses
do not exceed $485 900 worth.
