The Job was In the bands of the Air Nllruti s Corporation which liiul boon organized under the direction of the Unlnuhce liepariinent to build plum and city nl Muscle Shoals. Early In January, WIN, this new town had a few temporary buildings and a popu lation of ami. This had Jumped by the. middle of August to more than 21,000 A population multiplied by 70 lu months. In the munagenient of the new towns and urmy cantonment! thin Bprung up during the war the ohl time evils Hint attended the growth or mushroom cities have been avoided by the application of modern welfare systems. .Hut nowhere were condi tions more dlfllcult than at Muscle Shoals, Here was a malarial region threatened at the same time with other deadly disease epidemics. Trans portation was lacking. No neurlij labor was available and the general labor shortage was at Its most acute stage. Costs of labor and supplies were leaping over night Furthermore, Muscle Shoals differed from all the other new war towns Inasmuch as It was to be permanent New Government Devised. The mnmiBors, besides city govern ment, had to handle the entire retail business of the town. A camp super visor's department was put In charue of the maintenance of all buildings, lire protection and sanitation. The camp supervisor looked after every thing from the im-itding of a lock to the remodeling of groups of buildings or laying sewers or steam mains. l''or the bachelor contingent a commissary department was necessary. The business department managed the stores, canteens, motion picture ttiealers, pool parlors, tailor shops, dry cleaning establishments, barber shops, newsstands, a hotel, a vegetable farm and a hog farm where 1,000 hogs were raised on the wastes from eat ing places. It maintained a slaughter house where these hogs were, put through the regular packing house course. It operated a laundry which cleniud 7,4'J3 pieces a day. Then thertt was a real estate department that rented and nianngeil the family quarters and a housing department which assigned to quarters everybody excepting the families t'nder separate jurisdiction from Its community director were the police. The health department, in charge of a physldan from New York city, started with a small office In one of tha temporary buildings, and was soon full grown anil splendidly equipped Conditions were favorable to disease. The winter was the severest ou record In northern Ala bama. The men were compelled to work either In deep snow or mud above their knees. As a result a pneumonia epidemic developed among the Negroes that spring. Later In the year a typhoid epidemic was threatened. Moreover, the site of the plant was in the heart of the malaria district. Hut the pneumonia epidemic was checked, the typhoid threat nipped In the bud, and malaria stamped out. A Health Record Established The little Hrst-ald hospital present ly grew to a complete modern Institu tion with a nurses' home and a sep arate dispensary for dental, eye, ear, uoae, throat genito urinary cllnlce and a surgical dispensary for first-aid work. During the eight months when the death rate was not affected by tlie In fluenza and pneumonia epidemic! Ut general health rate was 12.4 per thou 5nnd par year, which la lower than In most cities In the same latitude and climate, and the pneumonia death rate during the epidemic was lower than In most army canloiiiueuta. Much of the success of the health administration Is due to the establish, ment of the Muscle Shoala sanitary district by the United State Publle Health Service. The education and welfare depart ment also hnd a vital work to perform. There wa! a school population of over 1,000.

Will Support Women's Part of Chinese Health ' Campaign as Part of World Servloe Program. j I Aa a result of the Y. W. C. A. Inter- ' national Conference of Women Phy sicians,' held during September and Oc tober, Chinese women are to have a far-reaching health program. Dr. Ida Kahn, Dr. LI Iil-Cu and Dr. Dau, three of China's half hundred women physicians, who attended this HIR IDA KAHN URCrES CHINESE WOMEN TO WORK. conference, are to takys an active part In promoting this health program for women which will be the share of tho Y. W. C. A. In the big hcultb move- ! ment In China. ( j The funds for establishing these health centers, for demonstrations of how to care for babies, for health lectures for the women, for babies' dis pensaries and for a general educa tional campaign, will be raised by the American Y. W. O. A. as part of lu program of world service for women and girls In 1920. Dr. Ida Kahn, In a recent appeal to modern Chinese women said, "Let our women of education In Peking and elsewhere gather themselves together to work for the schools, Red Cross and Y. W. C. A., and everything else which bespeaks the betterment of the coun try, Instead of staying at home to play poker and 'sparrow,' and going out to attend endlesa dinners, tea parties and dances. "Let us rally our forces and help tin ship of state to move safely. One per son cannot accomplish much, but one or two hundred millions of women can work wonders. Let us go back to a more Spartan-like simplicity of living aud let us build up social service until ever; city In China Is sanitary, every section of the town has Its proper , schools, and every child, whether boy or girl, Is sent to such schools. True ; social service brings democracy In Iti : train, and we who are citizens of I new republic can help to make It truly great by preaching and living democ racy all Uie time. Why not learn to do our household duties, deeming It. effeminate to be waited upon by maids and sline girls all the time? "The statue of women In China, while leaving much to be desired, still Is quite hopeful when we consider that she Is Just emerging Into the sis terhood of the nations. Our men can depend upon us to bear the burdens of the day, for nowhere Is there a more Industrious, diligent and persevering womanhood than In China." Dr. Kahn Is lecturing In this coun try on the needs of her fellow country women, In the Interests of the Y. V. C. A. Educational Campaign which plans to acquaint people with all phases of Y. W. C. A. work In the United Statea, South America, China, Japan, India and Europe. This educa tional campaign will be followed by an active effort to raise the $3,000,000 needed for service for women through out the world. CHINE8E WOMEN HAVE FINANCIAL ABILITY. They Carried Y. W. C. A. Campaign : "Over the Top." Much has been said about the hon esty and skill of the Chinese business loan. The world has neglected to men- ' tlon the financial ability of Chinese I women. They proved this ahllliy In the last financial campaign of the Y. W. C. Jb In Tientsin. Ordinarily three weeks are allowed In which to raise the budget by sub scription after the finance committee lias decided upon the sum necessary to carry on the work of tbe com lug year. The Tlentslu campaign was rnr rU;d on entirely by Chinese wumeo and broke id! records by going over the top In ten days with t large surplus ovr the budget To The Dyspeptic. Would you not like to feel that your stomach troubles are over, that you can eat anv bind of food that you crave? Consider then the fact that Chamber lain's '' nl lets have cured others why not yc i" There are many who have been rearored to health by taking these tablets and can eat auy kind of food ' that theycTSYS.
