State's Work Praised—One of the
departments of the State-Committee
of Public Safety of which compara
tively little has been heard has
drawn comment ef the most favor
able nature from the headquarters
of the Surgeon General of the United
States Army. This is the Sanitation,
Medicine and Red Cross Depart
ment, which was commended for its
work in cataloging and classifying
information concerning the medical
and allied professional and institu
tional resources of this State and
organizing systems through which
they may be made available for
emergency use by the Medical De
partment of the United States
Afmy. One of the department's first
activities was to compile and index
complete data relating to every
Pennsylvania organization, institu
tion and profession in the Held whose
capacities, operations or personnel
could :n any way be applied to war
time service. Probably the most
complete collection of data in regard
to dentists, veterinarians pharma
cists and nurses in Pennsylvania that
has ever been collected is now on
hand at the headquarters of the
committee. These lists do not in
clude all the members of these pro
fessions, however, and every effort
is being made to list them all.

product so as to effect a reduction
of about 16 cents a pound in the

wholesale grocers had agreed to limit
distribution charges to prevent exor
bitant charges.
In the near future the administra

$7.25, cane sugar basis, f. o. b. sea

to sell it at a reduced price to the

does not authorize price fixing. If,
after tho coal program hns been de

i be asked for authority to fix the

WAR NEEDS BOOM
RED CROSS SALE
State Antituberculosis Asso
ciations to Use Part of Fund
Caring For Tuuberculosis
New York, Aug. 27. —Plans have
been completed by the American
Red Cross an.d the National Associa
tion for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis for the opening of the
1917 Hod Cross Christmas Seal Sale
about November 20 and continuing
up to January 1. The campaign will
seek to raise at least $3,000,000 for
the antituberculosis movement in
the United States, or more than dou
ble the returns in any previous year.
The war has made it Imperative that
every possible facility for the care of
consumptives be enlarged. •
In announcing the plans for an in
creased campaign, the National As
sociation and the-American Red
Cross call attention to the fact that
the examination of 10.000.000 men
subject to the draft, besides thou
sands of others who are enlisting
voluntarily, has already and will con
tinue to disclose thousands of new
cases of tuberculosis, which have
hitherto been unsuspected. To pro
vide facilities for the care of these
cases and to educate the general pub
lic and the consumptives themselves
relative to the danger of the spread
of tuberculosis, the American Red
Cross and the National Association
call upon the people of the United
States for increased contributions.
"We can avoid the fatal mistake of
France ahd some of our other allies
only by excluding tuberculosis from
the Army and by providing adequate
care for every case of this disease de
veloping in this country," says Dr.
Charles J. Hatfield, executive secre
tary of the National Association.
The mon.ey raised from the sale of
Red Cross Seals will be distributed
throughout the United States and
most of it will remain in the com
munities where the seals are sold. In
every state, however, it is planned to
establish a special war fund, to pro
vide jmmediate facilities for dis-
I charged recruits and soldiers. These
funds will be administered through
the state and local antituberculosis
associations in co-operation with the
military department of the National
Association for the Study and Pre
vention of Tuberculosis.
Four hundred million seals have
alreddy been printed and 100,000,000
more are being prepared. The seals
this year are of a new and particu
larly attractive design, the center of
which, instead of the familiar Santp.
Claus face, is a Christmas tree snow
laden. These little stickers are now
being distributed in every section of
the United States and its territories
from the Philippine Islands to the
Canal Zone.
The local machinery for handling
the sale this year Is more complete
than ever before. There are now
well organized state associations in
every state in the Union. There are
altogether, Including state and local
organizations, 1,500 antituberculosis
agencies in the country, all of wTiich
will take part In the sale.
