HELP STOP IT
The Government Wants All the Metal!
O r. Livingstone Farrand Appeala to
People to Enter Battle Againet
Disease.
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.

DECLINE IN PRICE OF CALICO
DID NOT CLOSE EOLA STORE
While speaking in Linn county
recently, Mr. P. D. 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.—
