SPREAD TUBERCULOSIS
WILL BE COMBATTED
BY THE GOVERNMENT
ATLANTIC CITY, June 19 (by Asso
dated Press).—One of the greatest
victories of the war was the triumph
of modern medicine in the control of
acute infectious diseases but even
greater benefit will result from the
fact that the war also opened the eyes
of the government, as well as the peo
ple, to the great inroad that chronic
diseases are making in our national
economy, Dr. David R. Lyman said at
the meeting of the National Tubercu
losis Association which convened here
today. Dr. Lyman is president of the
association.
As a result of the ravages of the
“White Plague” among America’s man
hood, startlingly revealed by the draft
board records, Dr: Lyman predicted
the immediate creation of a division
of tuberculosis in the United Staes
public health service. This, he said,
undoubtedly would be followed by the
establishment at Washington of a de
partment of health giving equal rank
with the other great activities of the
government, instead of the nation’s
health being considered of minor im
portance and cared for, as it is at
present, as a side issue of the treasury
department.
With the records showing that
nearly 100,000 men were rejected for
the national army, because suffering
from suspected tuberculosis, Dr. Ly
man urged greater cooperation be
tween public and private health auth
orities if preventable disease is not to
hamper the country’s development
during the reconstruction years.
Government officials, as well as
health authorities from every state in
the union are here to discuss plans for
a nation-wide campaign against pre
ventable disease.
Dr. Charles J. Hartfield, managing
director of the national association,
pointed out, that although tuberculosis
causes 150,000 deaths annually in this
country the burden of the fight against
the disease was being borne by volun
tary associations. Even their work, he
said, is greatly handicapped by inade
quate laws.
That the spread of tuberculosis in
this country is due largely to patients
who travel from one place to another
seeking a magical climate that will
cure them and who have not sufficient
means to properly care for them
selves, was stated by James T. Persh
ing, who read a report on “Indigent
Migratory Consumptives.”

To Utilize Embroidered Monograms.
Take the embroidered Initial or
monogram from old bolster and pillow
cases and use them on new slips. Cut
letter from old slip, leaving a three
inch square around It (letters for bed
linen are usually two inches), then cut
the material to form an oval leaving a
small margin to turn under. Sew to
the new slip, then outline with em
broidery cotton to conceal stitches.
Outline another row one-fourth of an
inch from the first and work eyelets
at intervals between the rows to form
a medallion. The result is even pret
tier than when first embroidered.
Turning a Dress Skirt.
If a skirt has become faded or soiled,
it can often be turned to good advan
tage. First, clean it as thoroughly us
possible. Rip one seam, turn and
baste carefully before ripping another.
If there are plaits refold, following
the old creases, making what was for
merly the wrong side the right. If the
skirt is a good hanging one, any home
dressmaker can do the work satisfac
torily, for it is not nearly so difficult
a task as to make a new one. One
seam at a time is a much better way
than to rip all the seams apart before
beginning to baste.
When Stitching Seams.
When stitching heavy white cotton
or linen, rub the seam to be stitched,
with hard white soap, and the needle
will not cut the material.
When Sewing Taffeta.
Use a thin, fine needle for sewing
taffeta. The blunt end of a needle long
used is liable to pucker the goods, and
tne stitches will not be even. A heav
ier needle may be used in sewing
China silk.
To Sharpen Scissors.
Cut them rapidly on the neck of a
small glass bottle, or better still, on a
Thomas J. Hazelwood, serving time
in the jail at Skagway, broke jail the
second time recently, stowed away on
the City of Seattle and went to Ju
neau. When he was apprehended there
by Deputy Marshal N. O. Hardy, Hazel
wood explained that though his sen
tence was nearly up, the whistle of
the City of Seattle in port at Skagway
ground glass stopper. It trues the
edges and makes them cut like new.
Take a fine file and sharpen each
blade, being careful to keep the same
angle as they had at first; file till
rough places are all taken out. Put a
little oil on the edges of the blades
and snap together. Then wipe off all
the oil.
To Prevent Pricking the Fingers.
One accustomed to doing needlework
of any kind Is aware of the discom
fort caused by the needle pricking the
finger which holds the underside of
the cloth. This can be prevented If the
worker will moisten a small strip of
court plaster and stick It on the end
of the finger.
\
To Freshen Oriental Rugs.
A mixture of borax, ammonia and
water is excellent and will not injure
the rugs. To one pint of water add
two tablespoonfuls of powdered borax
and one tablespoonful of ammonia,
stirring well. Apply while the water
is warm with a small brush, rubbing
against the nap. When the entire rug
has been gone over wipe in the same
direction with the nap with a soft
cloth which will not lint. Then brusn
with the nap, using a dry brush. After
this treatment the rugs will be silky,
clear and with a better sheen. This
was told by a native rug dealer.
Always the Sash.
The summer dress, whether of silk
or cotton, has a sash, which may be of
wide or narrow ribbon, or of soft
crushed satin. It may assume the form
of chiffon streamers, or may be a bow
made of the dress material.

jail the first time last May and was
found a few days later at Whitehorse.
