CHRISTMAS SEALS AIO
TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT
SENATOR NORRIS
Knowledge and Practice of the
Rules of Health Greatest •.
Need.
In 1924, 593 Oregon people died
with tuberculosis. Best estimates in
dicate that probably 5000 are afflicted
with the disease. Careful studies show
that between ths ages of 15 and 40,
which may be called the best years
of life, more Oregonians die of tuber
culosis than from any other cause of
death and the same Is true through
out the United States as a whole. All
this is in spite of the fact tuberculosis
is known to be preventable and cure
able.
“We know enough about tubercu
losis to scotch it within a generation.
It is hot lack of knowledge, it is lack
of application of knowledge that im
pedes our. progress.” These were the
words of Dr. Allen K. Krause, leading
American authority on tuberculosis,
when he visited Oregon last summer.
He also pointed out that the knowl
edge which makes physicians confi
dently assert that “tuberculosis is pre
ventable and cureable’' is not knowl
edge regarding medicines or treat
ments that can be called “specific
cures.” It Is knowedge regarding the
fundamental rules of healthy living.
It Is disregard of the rules of healthy
living that permits tuberculosis to con
tinue as so great a menace to humane
life. It Is knowledge of these rules,
and care in their application which
will eventually overcome tuberculosis
It is the tremendous progress In thia
direction which has made possible thr-
50% reduction in the tuberculosis death
rate in the United States within the
last 15 years, and the 28% reduction in
Oregon’s rate within the last ten years.

Washington, D. C.—After a delay of
nearly throe years, the senate heeded
the repeated urging» of the White
House and began debate on a resolu
tion proposing American membership
tn the World Court.
Even In its beginnings, the discus
sion took on many of the same char
acteristics that vitalized the senate’s
long struggle over the league of na
tions. Once more the mantle of lead
ership for favorable senate action fell
upon the shoulders of a democratic
spokesman. In opposition stood a de
termined phalanx ot Irreconcflables
under the captaincy of a republican
chairman of the foreign relations com
mittee. Holding the balance was a
group whose leaders had been the
“mild reservationists” of the fight over
the league.
The resolution of adherence upon
which debate began was offered by
Senator Swanson of Virginia, ranking
democrat on the foreign relations com
mittee, without the approval of Chair
man Borah.
Chairman Borah, of the foreign rela
tions committee, fired the first salvo
Into the pro-court ranks.
Replying to the opening shots from
Senator Swanson, democrat, Virginia,
and Lenroot, republican, Wisconsin,
the Idaho senator undertook to estab
lish what relation the world court
bears "to the political Institution
known as the league of nations."
