New York.—Mortality from tuber culosis among the civilian population and In tbe armies of all the countries engaged in the war has at least ap proximated the total number of sol diers killed in buttle, according to Dr. Livingstone Farrand, director of the American commission for the preven tion of tuberculosis In France. That the people of America throw themselves Into the winning of the war against tuberculosis with the same zeal with which they have hurled themselves against the Hun Is the bur den of an appeul made by Doctor Far rand on the eve of his return to France. “To make our country really safe we must first make It healthy,” is the slogan Doctor Farrand suggests for this war against disease. Of the men called to the colors by the first draft 50,000 were found to be tuberculnr. This Is one of the striking Indications of the prevalence of the disease. “While the war has thus effectually disclosed conditions which existed be fore, rather than produced these condi tions, it Is also true that in indirect ways It has substantially increased the tuberculosis problem In the European countries involved,” says Doctor Fnr* rand. "I refer not to the situation In the armies, where the mode of life often tends to reduce this disease, but to con ditions which affect the civilian popu lation.” Increased food, clothing and housing costs necessitating, among the lower wage groups, diminished quantity and quality and their resultant undernutrl- tlon, are given as contributing causes. A nation-wide campaign against the disease and for adequate provision for rejected and discharged soldiers suf fering from It is planned through 1,500 local societies of the National Tuber culosis association.

Gilbert told his audience that because calico declin ed in price from C5 cents to 5 cents per yard at the close of the Civil war, the proprietor of the merchan dising establishment at F.ola closed his doors never to open again, and that the stock still remained there in decay. The Observer last week printed the story us related by Mr. Gilbert, only to find later that it had no foundation. Mr. J. C. Hayter, probably one of the best informed men on local history within the county, refutes the story, and says there is absolutely no truth in it.— Polk Countv Observer.
