TELLS OF WHITE PLAGUE FIGHT Dx. .Pettit Recites Benefits of Concerted Efforts. Little progress will be made in the fight against tuberculosis until a suffi cient number of sanitariums are estab lished in every community to treat every case, declared Dr. J. W. Pettit, founder of the famous Ottowa Tubercu losis County Sanitarium in a paper read at the annual meeting of the Marlon .County Tuberculosis Association at Sunnyside Sanitarium today. Tuberculosis cannot be successfully treated in the home in a great per centage of cases for the reason that spe cial equipment and specially trained at tendants and physicians are needed Just ns surgeons must have their patients in modern hospitals for their most suc cessful operations, the speaker de clared. Dr. Pettit was unable to attend the meeting in person, but sent his paper on “What a Sanitarium Means to a Community” to be read. E. U. Graff, superintendent of schools, ■poke on “Health Education" and Mary A. Moyers, executive secretary of the association, gave the annual report. CHILDREN' HAVE PART IN PROGRAM. Children patients at Sunnyside had •n Important part in the program. "The advantages of sanitarium treat ment are that it affords the suberen losis Invalid the most practical, indeed, the only systematic method of fighting this disease and acquiring hygienic liv ing In its prevention.' said Dr. Pettit. “It Is a most valuable educational fac tor, not only in the immediate locality In which it is located, but to a very great extent in the community at large. “It has a definite and important place which can scarcely o her wise be filled in the study and investigation of the disease and its complications. Sanitarium procedure is not such medi cal treatment, as ordinarily understood, as the medical supervision of which the patient stands in need. Dr. Fettit said. “Living with the patients, adopting their mode of life, having his meals In Summer Is Never Over When You Have Post Nasties for breakfast or lunch The delightful ripe com flavor of these superior flakes brings sun shine to the dullest day. We make them for people who love corn flakes and want the best They cost no more than other com flakes but will please you more. At Grocers j?

The planetary government is most fa vorable to men in high positions and the aged should benefit, by the aspect. It is a rule under which “ail who wear the robes of authority” may hope to prosper. Priests and Judges should rush their best interest during this sway of the stars. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year in which business and professional success nviv be expected. Litigation of any sort will be unfortunate, however. Children born on this day will prob ably be extremely level-headed anil per severing. Rapid success seems to be in dicated for them.—Copyright, 1920. 1 common with them, the physician is en abled to individualize the treatment. “He studies the patient from every aspect and his life is laid out in detail. “There is a fixed hour for retiring. “He is told what time is to be spent ; in walking and resting. “He is told what to eat and what to j avoid. "Regulation of body functions, proper j attention to clothing, hours for tempera ture observations, special care in the dis- ! posal of sputum, are phases of the in- 1 structions. “He is in no danger to himself or others when this is properly done.” He said that fads and fancies have gathered about the “so-called open-air I treatment,” and impossible claims tave i been made by inexperienced enthusiasts ; as to the almost miraculous efficacy ac cruing from sanitarium residence. “In spite of all these exaggerations and ! failures, there can be no doubt but that j the maintenance of a strictly hygienic course of living offers the best means known by modern medical science for ! dealing effectually with tuberculosis," said I)r. Pettit. “Increased knowledge of the nature of WHEN STORE Good Clothes ; Nothing Else tuberculosis has made the establishment of institutions for the cure and treat ment of those afflicted with it one of the most important questions before the people. “It is conceded it is the duty of the State to take a hand in this crusade against man's most insidious enemy by education of the masses, the enforcement of judicious sanitary laws, and the pro vision of sanitoriums for the treatment of the poorer people who form so large a percentage of our citizens and for the protecting and fostering care of whom it is responsible.” Barnett Heard First in Haiti Inquiry WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—Brig. Gen. George Barnett, former commandant of the Marine Corps, was the first witness when the naval board of inquiry ap pointed by Secretary Daniels to investi gate the occupation of Haiti opened here today. Barnett's charge of “indiscriminate killing" of Haitlens by American marines caused Daniels to order the investiga tion. Barnett, at the request of Daniels, somewhat modified his original state ment.
