FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3rd, 1*1*. THE BREVARD NEWS, ^REVARD, N. C IWm’S PLEDGE I SM 'PRESIDENT SAYS DUR PROMISE TO TRY TO PREVENT FUTURE WARS SHOULD BE KEPT. i ONLY HOPE IS m World leagit^ 8ays Germany Would Not Have Dared to Strike If Nations Had Been Banded Against Aggression. NIGHT AND DAY CAMP • IS LIFE SAVING STATION (By Mt. Clemens News Bureau.) St. Louis—Diaplaying a liigli con fidence that his feilow citizens in. the Sreai majority a^ree with him ia his desiro to end war forever, and that the piiice treaty with its League of •Nations inclu:^ioii is ratlHejJ by the senate, President Wilson is making a Euoce:jsful way across the country on the long journey he has undertaken for the purpose of laying before the plain paople a report of his v/ork in Paris and explaining to them just what the League means. Thus far in his travels he has every where mot with warm greetings, both In the great halls where he has spoken formally and in the little cross road hamlets where his train has halted at times and he has exchanged words with the villagers who pressed Xorwavd to greet him. He feels, and does not hesitate to say so when chatting with his traveling compan ions, thr;t the American people want no more of war and v;ant to become part of the Lea;;ue so that there may be no more war. IIo struck his key note when he said in his lirst address, in Columbus, Ohio: “Thio treaty was not intended mere ly to fc)id this singltj war. It is meant as a notice to every government who In lIiG future wiil attempt this thing (wiia;, Germany attempted) that man kind will unite to intlict the same pun ishment. There is no national triumpli to be recorded ia this treaty. There ia no ;,Iory sought for any par ticular nation. Tlie thought of tlie staicomen coiloctd aromid that table was of their people, of the liufferii’gfe they had gone throu.^, of the looses they had incurred, of that grsal tkvob- bing heart which was so depresaed, so fcrlorn, so sad in every meir;ory it Jiad of the livo tragical year.> that have gone by. Let us never forget thoi.0 years, my fellow countryman; let U/5 ne\er forget the purpose, hijjh and disinterested, with which America lent its strength, not tor its own glory but for the deZeuse of mankind. “As I said, this treaty was not meant merely to end this war. It is ialeuied to prtvenL any similar war. I wonder if soiiie of the opponents of tie League of Nations have foricotten the promises we made our people ba- fore we went to that peace table? We l^ad taken by process of law the llpwer of our youth from every couti- trysido, from every household, and w’e told those mothers and fatht»rs a«id sisters and wives and sweethearts that we were talking those men to light a v,ar wliicii v.ould end business of that sort, and if «\'e do not end it, if we do not do the best that humar. concert of acUon can do to end it, we of all men tho most unfaithful the most unfaithful to the loviug hearts who suffered in this war, the most unfaithful to those households bowed in grief and yet lifted wdth the feeling that the lad laid down his 'iixe for a groat thing, and, among other things, in order that other lads mij:ht never have to do the same thing. “That is what the League of Na tions is for—to end this war justlj and thtu not merely to serve ncace on governments which could CA^ntem- plate that they will do so at tb ’‘jjr peril, but also concerning tiie co’.ji-6inatiou of power which will prove to them that they will do it at th...ir peril. It is ldi3 to say the worHs wiil combine Against you; but it is persuasive to say the world is combined against you; Thb League of Nations is the only thing that can prevent the recurrence pt this dreadful catastrophe »nd redeeiii our promises.” A League of Nations would have prevfiited the late conflict, the presi dent assorted, explaining: “i did not meet a single public man who did not admit these things, that Germany would not have gone into this war if she thought Great Britain 'was going into it, and she most cer tainly would never have gone into it bad she dreamed America was going Into it. And they all admit that a notice beforehand that the greatest powers of the world would combine to preiient this sort of thing would pre vent it absolutely.” Applause ana cheers greeted «acii declaration of the presi dent that wars might be avoid ed in the future by operations of the League. He pointed out other important features of the Peace Treaty, now it was the redemption oi weak nations, giving them treedom which otherwise they never couiJ have won; how it says “These peopie havo a right to live their ov;n ivt’s under govenunents which they tlieiu- j ■elves choose’’, and how “tiiac is i Aniericai) Principle and I was glad , fight for it", and that was the very beart of the Treaty, he said. He drew attention to the section of .the Treaty which is a “Magna Charta of Labor,” which shall dispose of the hours, conditions and remunerations of labor. “It forecasts the day”, he said ‘‘which ought to have come long ago, witen statesmen will realize that no nation Is fortunate which is not hap py, whose people are not contented, contented in their lives and fortunate In the circumstances of their lives”. ^ In conclusion the president aald he f0lt certain tha Treaty will be accept- •d, and was omy impatient of the de lay. He added: “Do you realize, my fellow citizens, that the whole world tJs wailing on America? The only coulUry la the world that is trustee: today Is the Uni’ea States and thi worid is awaitins to see if its irust Tuberculosis kills 150,000 persons in tho United States every year. These two v.'onien escaped. They are shown in the Niplit and Day Camp conducted by the St. Louis Society for the Relief and Provontion of Tuber culosis. They are among the fortunate ones because they knew how to take care of themselves when tins fjreat menace threatened them. They knew that the cure lies in plenty of fresh air, even if the temperature is away below ^freezing, sunliglit, good foo<l and rest under pnjper medical supervision. Tuberculosis is not only curaMe but is preventable us well. Tlie prevention lies largely in right living, in building up a strong bodily resistance. Kight out of ten person.'s are infected at some time in their liveSr according to figures of the National Tubenulosis As.si)ei:ith>n, the leading figency in the United States in the tight upon tiiis disease. This organization is s{)onsor for the annual Red Cross Cliristnias SejU sale, from which the funds to carry on tlie work througliout the year are chielly derived. Abundance of Fresh Air and Sunlight Do Much to Check Ravages of Tuberculosis. RUflAllTES HAVE BIG KEAITH HDVtNUGE DANGER IN CLOSED WINDOWS. National Tuberculosis Association, Which Sponsors the Annual Sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, Reports 150,000 Death* Each Year From the Disease. People who live in the smaller towns and on farins have a great health ad vantage over the city dwellers in that they have ever an abundant supply of fresh air and sunlight. These two gifts of nature, so lavish ly bestov.od, are not always appreciat ed to their fullest extent. They are tw'o of the strongest w’eapons against the menace of tuberculosis, or con sumption, as it is sometimes called. But consumption is not unknow’n in the rural districts. The death rate is sometimes as great in these sections as in the more crowded localities, chielly because of carelessness or indifference to laws of health. Few% indeed, are the farm houses or the homes in the smaller cities and vil’riges that cannot have an outdoor bleeping porch. On the contrary, we often tind that the windows of sleep ing rooms in the home are shut tight in the mistaken belief that night air is harmful. This paves the w’ay for disease, espe cially tubercidosis, which generally at tacks the lungs. White Plague Kills 150,000 a Year. The w’hite plague claimed 150,000 lives last year in the United States. More than 1,000,000 Americans are suf fering from it today. These figures are compiled from reports of expert.9 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 itponsor for tlio Red Cross Christmas Seal sale, from which its financial suj)- ’.(•rt is chiel’.y derived. As medical science has proved con- •iuniption is both preventJiS)le and irura- ble, the suffering caused by this dis ease is largely unnecessary. Most tu berculosis victims are betv.’^n the ages of eighteen and forty-five. Causes Half Billion Loss Annually. These are the years v^n people are most active, the yefm of their greatest production. The snufiing out of these lives just wlien they are at the height of their usefulness means an annual loss to the country of near- |ly half a billion dollars. I Fresh air is the cheapest of medi- •cines. Outdoor sleeping porches are Jnot only for the sick. They help well- jfolks to keep well, and the country dweller can have this aid to healthy ',livii«g at far less inconvenience than his city neighbon You can help directly by seeing that you and your family are living under the moat heaitliful conditions possible. FACTS ON THE ARCH ENEMY OF HUMANITY. Tuberculosis kills producers— chiefly men and women between the ages of 16 and 45. It claims workers—active men and wfunen in tlie homes, the of fice and the shop. It causes 150,000 deaths in the United States every year. It costs the United States In economic waste alone about $500,000,000 annually. •? More than 1,000,0!>0 persons in this country are suffering from active tuberculosis riglit now.
