RURALITES HAVE BIG
HEALTH ADVANTAGE
Abundance of Fresh Air and
Sunlight Do Much to Check
Ravages of Tuberculosis.
DANGER IN CLOSED WINDOWS.
National Tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors the Annual Salt
of Red Cross Christmas Seals,
Reports 150,000 Death.
Each Year From the
Disease.
People who live In the Miintlor towns
nd on farms have a Ft health ad
vantage over tlie city dwellers In thut
they have ever an abundant supply of
fresh air and sunlight.
These two gifts of nature, so lavish
ly bestowed, are not always appreciat
ed to their fullest extent. They are
two of the strongest weninms against
the menace of tuberculosis, or con
sumption, as It Is sometimes culled.
But consumption Is not unknown In
the rural districts. The death mte Is
sometimes as great Id these sections ns
In the more crowded localities, chiefly
because of carelessness or Indifference
to laws of health.
Few, indeed, are the farm houses
or the homes in the smaller cities and
visages that cannot have an outdoor
kieeplng !orch. On the contrary, we
often Bud that the windows of sleep
ing rooms In the home are shut tight
in the mistaken, belief thut niht air
Is harmful.
This paves the way for disease, espe
cially tuberculosis, which generally at
tacks the lungs.
White Plague Kilts 150.000 a Year.
The white plague claimed 1.V1.IXX)
lives last year In the United States.
More than l.OOO.ixx) Americans are suf
fering from It today. These figures
tre compiled from reports of experts
all over the country and sent to the
National Tuberculosis Association, the
leading agency in the country to com
bat this disease. This organization is
hponsor for the Red Cro-s Christ mas
Seal sale, from which Its financial sup
port is chiefly derived.
As medical science has proved con
sumption is both prevent:Me and cura
ble, the suffering caused by this dis
ease Is largely unnecessary. Most tu
berculosis victims are between the
ages of eighteen and forty-five.

Can Now Eat and Sleep in Comfort.
If troubled with indigestion or sleep,
lessness you should read what Miss
Agnes Turner, Chicago, Illinois, has to
say: "Overwork, irregular meals and
carelessness regarding the ordinary
rules of health, gradually undermined
5t until last fall I became a wreck
of my former self. I suffered from
continual headache, was unable to di
gest my food, which seemed to lay
as a dead weight on my stomach. I
was very constlpped and my com
plexion became dark, yellow and mud
dy as I felt. Sleeplessness was added
to my misery, and I would awake as
tired as when I went to sleep. I
heard of Chamberlain's Tablets and
found such relief after taking them
that I kept up the treatment for near
ly two months. They cleansed my
ttomach, Invigorated my system, and
since that time I can eat and sleep
in comfort. I am today entirely well."

CHINESE EGGS
New York Sun
An inconspicuous item In the Sun
Is full of suggestion as to the future
of our food supply. It records that
an American provision firm has a cli
ent at Tientsin, China, who is In a
position to supply large quantities of
beef, eggs, poultry, potatoes and var
ious other products to this country,
and the lack of vessels with proper
refrigeration space plying the Pacific
presents the only obstacle to the Im
portation of perishable foods.
At first sight it will strike one as
anomalous that the oldest, most worn
out. most densely peopled nation In
the world can possibly have large
surplus supplies of food to offer to
the uewest. most fertile, richest, and.
among the great countries, least ,
thUkly settled realm. Moreover, we j
are used to hearing of famines in :
China. They are regarded as a nat-
ural, inevitable happening, every now
and then. A failure of the rice crops i
always brings famine to certain dis-'.
triets regions holding many millions j
of people. Yet China can spare us (
"large supplies" of meat. eggs, poul- !
try, potatoes and other things! i
It might also be added that, given I
fairly moderate ocean freights rates ;
these foods can be delivered here at '
a price far below what it would cost
us to nrse them. There is. in fact,
a very large trade in Chinese eggs.
It Is no new thine, and it is likely to
increase, because it is easy to pre
serve eggs ami our consuming mar
ket is uncritical.
With ships enough anil Japan is
building them for Chinese-American
trade as fast as she can. the Orient
can follow its eggs with preserved
chicken, beef and vegetables. They
will find a ready market.
Why? The reason Is not far to
week. With all her other handicaps j
China has the one thing that we con
spicuously lack: an immense surplus
of cheap ami efficient labor. It Isn't
a question of whether we like the con
templation of it or not but rather a
brute fact which we cannot safely
ignore. With free, plentiful ocean
carriers we are coming squarely into
competition with Oriental production,
from primary foods to the moMt com
plex manufactured article. The Chin
ese egg is likely to hatch out a mon
strous big bird some day.
