DEFEATING TUBERCULOSIS. 5,1 Census bureau statistics indicate that 'the' Rattle against tuberculosis is gain ing grouwdiegch year and if the present program can be maintained it will not be many years until, disease will be classed along with -typhoid fH-er and other maladies which are notv controlled. The census bureau figures show that the number of deaths from tuberculosis per 100,000 population declined from 150 in lftlS to 97.4 last year,, taking the country as a whole. Some Southern States show an average higher than the national average, but the same is also true of northern States. In the South the high rate is undoubtedly due to deaths from the disease among the ne groes. and it shows also that the States must devote more attention to the curb ing of the disease among the colored cit izens. Every person is offered an excellent opportunity to assist in this work by pur chasing Christmas tuberculosis seals. All money derived from the sale of the seals is spent among people suffering from the disease, and the splendid re sponse which file seals have received within the past several years has had much to do with the successful fight be ing made against the White Plague. The public is showing greater interest by buy ing more seals and this has meant more money with which to wage the battle. ENGLAND PAYING. Great Britain is not waiting for some unforseeu circumstance that might per persuade the United States to cancel the war debts. France and some \of the other debtor nations are still asking and hope for a cancellation policy, but Eng land is showing a determination to pay her part of the debt by sending cash to the United States.. Great Britain has just made a sec ond payment on her war debt. The pay ment amounted to $92,000,000. of which .WkOOOjjOOO was semiannual interest charges and $23,000.000 to reduce the principal. The first payment, made last s’- ing. was on account of interest only. that 'this is actually the first payment on, the principal. For several months the Brit ish government has been accumulating Liberty Bonds with which (o make this payment and virtually the entire amount of the installment was paid with such securities. Being able to purchase the bonds as slightly less than par it is es timated that the British government sav ed $1,800,000 by making the $92,900,000 payment in Liberty Bonds. England's policy in regard to the war debts is making many frineds- for her in the United States. Conditions through out the country are not all that c6nM be desired, but despite high taxes, unemploy ment, dissatisfaction and other things. England is showing a fine spirit in her financial dealings with Unde Sam. i. i-vr;- itt-■ ‘--.as. We believe William G.

I yer t St* f f ’ * L- 1 *- £■ • • DINNER STORIES A farmer was having his house re covered. The old tin .roof had been torn off and rolled up la a heap in the corner of the yard. A friend happened by one day and suggested that the farm er ship the tin to the Ford plant. .He went on to tell the farmer that Ford would pay him well for the tin. The fanner thought it over and decided he would send It to the Ford plant, for even though he .got. nothing for it the tin would be out of his way. In .about three weeks after he shipped it, he re ceived a letter ,which read something like this: ' • “Your old car wos tore up jp bad we decided to ship you a new me, but be careful next time.” *T am not going to talk long this ev ening,” said the speaker. - f “I've b?en cured of that. The other night I was making a speech when a man entered the hall and took a seat right in the front row. I had not feeen talking an hour when I noticed he was becom ing fidgety. Finally he arose and asked: “ 'Shay, how long yon been lec turin’? » “ ‘About four years, my friend,’ I re plied. “Well,’ lie remarked, as he sat down, ■l'll stick around; you must be near through’.’’ Seventh Child Named “Enough.* > The office was crowded with the wed ding party. All were silent while file bridegroom filled in the blanks. For the purpose of this story we’ll call him Smith,, says the New York Times.’ j The secretary looked ove'r the jnar rifegC-license. It gave the groom's name as “John Enough Smith.” He said: % “The clerk at theflicense bureau has pinde a mistake: see what a ridiculous middle, .Jiame he has given you— ‘Eno'ugK’.” Without looking up the groom replied dryly: “No wristakp on the part of the clerk. My mother gave me that middle name —I was (the seventh child.” An Innocent Good Time A colonel who was _ai stern discip linarian gathered his officers about him ami issued orders for the regiment's forthcoming train journey to the coast. “I don’t object to an innocent good time on the men’s part during this jour ney,” he said, “but you will see to it that there's fio swearing, no sky lark ing, no card playing, and as little cig arette smoking as possible.” “Pardon me, colonel,” said a timid voice, “but would you object if I tolfk a little plain sewing my com pany and myself?” The speaker waxed eloquent, and after his peroration on woman's rights he said: “When they take our girls, as they threaten, away from the co educational, what will follow? What will follow. I repent?” And a lomf masculine voice in the' audiepce replied, “I wijl.” • A In the New Hint Six-Cylinder Sedan i ■ provides a capacity power that establishes a new standard of motor utility.
