TUBERCULOSIS
DEATH RATE BIG
rlighest in the World in the
Balkans, Asserts Red
Cross
Bucharest, Oct. 10.—The tubercu
osis death rate in the Balkans is the
lighest in the world, asserts the
medical station of the American
Red Cross headquarters here. This
Is based on reports from the Red
Cross in Rumania, Serbia, Albania
and Montenegro.
The distressing factor is that the
countries are almost wholly without
sanitoriums for the treatment of tu
berculosis. Red Cross relief is tem
porary and it is considered beyond
its province to found sanitoriums on
the scale that would be needed.

FRIDAY EVENING,
Miss Viola Lk Nohr, of Ripon, Wis
consin, a nurse who for many
months has been treating patients
in all parts of Albania, reports that
she found tuberculosis in almost
every Albanian family. The per
centage has been placed at about 80
per cent.
Dr. Geraldine E. Watson, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., reports: "Thou
sands of children are dying of con
sumption in Montenegro. The per
centage of tuberculosis in children
is fearfully high.' The probable
source of infection is the milk of
tubercular cattle with which the
country is overrun."
Amusements Needed
on Merchant Ships
New York, Oct. 10. —The United
States Shipping Board has requested
the New York War Camp Comrrro
nity Service to supply the vessels in
the merchant service with recrea
tional equipment. This appeal means
a recognition of the value found by
the naval authorities in the amuse
ment facilities laid, before the sailors
in the United States Navy by the
community service during the war.
Following the men of the Navy
back into civilian life or into a new
term of service in the merchant ma
rine, the community service stands
ready to assist the men it has helped
while in naval uniform.
The men in the merchant marine
live through long periods of isola
tion from their fellow-men, months
spent on the high seas with strange
cities as their destination.
On shipboard a box of dominoes
or a pack of cards is nothing short
of a heaven-sent boon. Many a game
of cards played between bunkies
in their limited sleeping quarters has
assumed great importance in ward
ing off a serious case of "blues."

MANY SICK AND
WOUNDEDFLEE
IN FREIGHT CARS
Refugees From West of Omsk
Are in a Pitiable
Condition
Omsk, Oct. 10. —Almost unim
aginable suffering. Illness and great
loss of life has attended the hurried
evacuation of vast territory west of
Omsk owing to the recent advance
of the Bolshevik armies. Refugees
from the territory menaced by Bol
shevik! Invasion were herded into
boxcars with the wounded and ill
from the fighting front and started
eastward into Siberia with a pitiful
lack of doctors and nurses.
Conditions prevailing at Koulom
zino, a station across the river from
Omsk, probably are typical of doz
ens of other places along the Si
berian railway as far east as Kras
noyarsk.
I/ike Living Skeletons
In this auxiliary freight yard at
Koulomzino, the Associated Press
correspondent saw trainloads of ill
and wounded men wasted with dys
entery, typhus and typhoid, lying on
bare plank floors under filthy over
coats or blankets, too weak to move.
There were men with wounds that
had not been dressed for days and
whose bodies were so shrunken
from disease and lack of food that
they resembled skeletons or rather
dying skeletons.
In some instances the dead had
lain for days in the midst of the liv
ing and dying who were so dulled
by suffering as not to know or care.
Among these refugees the Inter-
Allied anti-typhus train in charge of
Captain Conner, of the American
Red Cross refugee section, endeav
ored to give'temporary aid. Owing
to the evacuation of the Red Cross
personnel on orders of Ambassador
Roland S. Morris, of Tokio, Miss
Williams had little aid in distribu
tion of medical supplies and cloth
ing furnished by the Red Cross.
Upon arrival of a trainload of sol
diers the occupants are transferred,
car by car to the bath train while a
locomotive passes down the line
pumping steam into the vacated
cars to kill vermin. Meantime the
patients are given a steam bath and
their clothing and effects sterilized.
On emerging each is given a new
suit of cotton underwear, furnished
by the American Red Cross.
Makes Fifth Flight
The refugees passing eastward in
endless strings of trains are in bet
ter condition than the soldiers.
Most of them regard their fate phil
osophically. One old woman in a
family party -with several babies and
two bright girls of seven or eight
years said she was now making her
fifth enforced flight since the Ger
mans occupied Vilna, her home
town before the revolution.
Miss Margaret Matthews, of the
Red Cross refugee section has fol
lowed the train eastward to Kras
noyarsk to give aid there and Dr.
Manget, head of the Red Cross in
Western Siberia, is preparing to
open a 2,000-bed hospital in Omsk.
An example showing the lack of
intelligent co-operation in the care
of sick and wounded soldiers was
shown in the fact that while hun
dreds of: them were passing through
Koulomzino, a splendidly equipped
Russian sanitary train with bath
car and operating and dressing cars,
lay unused in the Koulomzino yard
waiting to go to the front.
SOLDIERS URGED TO
HOLD INSURANCE
Many men who have dropped
their war risk insurance, give as
their reason for so doing, their dis
like of the so-called "red tape" in
volved. Upon further questioning,
they immediately cite personal or
hearsay cases of endless correspon
dence resulting from a seemingly
hopeless tangle. Invariably these
cases are found to have resulted
from incorrect or Incomplete accom
lishment of the necessary applica
tion forms; or carelessness in the
matter of payments.
The business, although over
whelmed for a time by the great
volume of business, has made but
few errors, if one considers them on
a percentage basis; and that is the
only fair basis. Moreover, it has
constantly eliminated confusion and
error of past cases; and made pro
visions against the future; and made
efforts to avoid so-called "red tape."
The latest move in this direction,
comes through the provision that
men now entering the service may,
within 120 days after enlistment or
enter into the active military or na
val service, apply for permanent
government insurance without first
applying for term insurance.
MISSING SOLDIER BEING
HUNTED BY WAR DEPT.
In an effort to locate Charles
Butts Titus, a missing: soldier who
was attached to the Field Artillery
in the September replacement draft,
a circular and poster bearing his
photograph have been sent to Army
hospitals.
Titus is 26 years old. 5 feet 8
Inches tall, weights 144 pounds,
wears a No. 7 hat, a No. 7 shoe and
a 14 1-2 collar. He is of medium

September. His serial number was
4123789. He was reported lost when

can give information concerning this
soldier will communicate with his
wife, Mrs. Irene Titus, Box 67, R.

London Discusses
Skyscraper Question
London, Oct.. 10.—The old ques
tion of whether London is to have
skyscrapeis is being revived because
; of the high price of property in the
I business section and the lack of
i space in office buildings.
The government buildings in
\ Whitehall are four stories high, but
j it has been found necessary to add
a story to the War Ottlce to meet
I the demands of the department.
| One well-known architect in touch
with the government's plans ex
i pressed the opinion that unless the
i new and the lod ministries were
[ content to do their work outside of
j the area devoted to governmental
activities skyscrapers were inevitable
! in Whitehall.
Generally speaking, however, Lon
don does not like tall buildings.
Percy Tubbs, past president of the
Soc'ety of Architects, declared that
I if the skyscraper was to come it
| would be necessary to widen the
streets.

To Relieve Catarrh, Catarrhal
Deafness and Head Noises
Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness, or who are growing hard of
hearing and have head noises will be
glad to know that this distressing af
fliction can usually be successfully
treated at home by an internal medi
cine that in many instances has ef
fected complete relief after other
treatments have failed. Sufferers who
could scarcely hear have had their
; hearing restored to such an extent
j that the tick of a watch was plainly
audible seven or eight inches away
! from either ear. Therefore, if you
j know of someone who is troubled
; with head noises or catarrhal deaf
| ness, cut out this formula and hand it
! to them and you may have been tho
I means cf saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. The pre
! seription can be prepared at home and
! is made as follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 oz.
j Parmint (Double Strength). Take this
, home and add to it 'A pint of hot wa
! ter and a little granulated sugar; stir
until dissolved. Take one tablespoon
ful four times a day.
Parmint is used in this way not
only to reduce by tonic action the in
flammation and swelling in the Eus
tachian Tubes, and thus to equalize
the air pressure on the drum, but to
correct any excess of secretions in
the middle ear, and the results it
1 gives are nearly always quick and
j effective.
Every person who has catarrh in
I any form, or distressing rumbling,
; hissing sounds in their ears, should
j give tit in recipe a trial.
