STATE CAMPAIGN 11 FOR HEALTH BONDS People of South Carolina To Be Asked to Contribute A Total Of $50,000.00 ] t The South Carolina Tuberculosis < Association is going to ask the peo pie of South Carolina to buy $50,000 < worth of health bonds and Christmas 1 seals during the month of December \ iti order that the ngnt on tne "great white plague,' which is exacting an ( economic loss in the State each year ; of $4,500,000 may be prosecuted with < the greatest possible vigor next year. ' "We know that times are hard and < money is scarce,' says an announce- 1 ment by the association, "but even i with money as tight as it is we do ( rot believe that the people of the State will be willing for the fight on tuberculosis to be abandoned. It ] would be a very poor economic j policy." The health bonds which the association will ask the people to buy will i l 1 ^ 'I J v? o* \T rv-i Kr> v a ri rl , ue put UIl saic uuimg will remain on sale until Christmas. They may be purchased for $5 up. ] The Christmas Seal sale will begin ] immediately after Thanksgiving and ^ will continue until Christmas. The , people of the State are thoroughly ( familiar with these little Red Cross ; seals which have become just as , much a harbinger of the Christmas holidays as have the holly and the mistletoe. ( Governor Robert#A. Cooper has ^ consented to serve as chairman of the . ? i Christmas Seal sale. J. Skottowe Wannamaker of St. Matthews, president of the American Cotton Association, as first vice-chairman and Mrs. Rufus Fant, of Anderson, president of the South Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs, as second vice-chair man. L. L. Hardin, president of the Bank of Columbia, will be treasurer. The executive committee will be * composed of the following South Carolinians in addition to the officers: Arthur L. Gaston, Chester; Dr H. N. Snyder, WofFord College; A. B. Jor- ^ dan, president of the South Carolina t Press Association; Mrs. James A. ? Cathcart, Columbia; ^ienry C. Till- * man, Greenwood; Dr. James A. ( Hayne, State Board of Health, Mrs. F. S. Munsell, Columbia; Dr. C. W. ( Kcllock, Charleston; Josiah Morse, ? University of South Carolina and 1 Mrs. C. Y. Reamer, Columbia. : Organizations have already been 1 perfected in thirty of the counties for the sale and will be completed in tne remaining counties of the State with- c in the next two weeks. It is probable * that a conference of the county chairmen will be held at an early date. (] Probably the most ambitious feat- . ure of the program to be undertaken f by the South Carolina Tuberculosis . * 1 Association next year in the event that the people of the State buy the r g $o0,G00 worth of seals and bonds, will be the establishment of a travel- * ing clinic. The clinic which will travel from c county to county over the State in an automobile truck will concentrate r its efforts in counties which do not row have a tuberculosis clinic. A specialist in tuberculosis and a nurse will accompany the clinic and it is planned to make a complete survey of the State. The association plans through the means of this clinic to make a thor- c ough investigation in each county of ^ all tubercular suspects and in this way to get a grasp on the situation 1 which will enable it to fight effec- * tively against a further spread of the 1 dread' disease. Officers of the South Carolina Tuberculosis Association are: J. Nelson 1 Friersoh, Columbia, president; Dr. J. A. Hayne, Columbia, and Dr. Robert Wilson, Jr., Charleston, honorary vice presidents; Dr. R. M. Pollitzer, of Charleston and Dr. Ernest Cooper, Columbia, vice-presidents; A. S. Manning, Columbia, treasurer; Reed Smith, Columbia, secretary;; Mrs. E. E. Howell, Florence; Dr. C. W. Kellock, Charleston; James McCabe, Greenville; Dr. L. A. Riser, Columbia; John P. Thomas Columbia and Reed Smith, Columbia. FATAL FAMILY FUSS Anderson, S.

Secretary Tumulty set :n example by declaring the election Governor Cox a certainty and that :he Democrats will regain control of :he Senate by a safe margin. Heretofore Secretary Tumulty and -thers immediately connected with uiministration nave contented mem?elves with vague statements that the tide has turned" toward the Democratic nominees. Today, however, their statements took on a more positive character and all were full of confidence. ( Pro-League Republicans. Great expectations are being built by Democratic campaign workers on the statement which the President will make to the delegation of "proieague'4 Republicans headed by Hamilton Holt, who will visit the President 3n Wednesday. While the plans are entirely in the bands of the President himself, it is learned that his final and most important statement of the campaign issues will be delivered to the visiting ielegation. In all probability none but [he members of Mr. Holt's delegation ivill be admitted. Many Democratic leaders, have ex pressed disappointment over the small part taken by the President in :he effort to elect Governor Cox. It s stated, however, on the highest authority that the President has done all that can possibly be expected of >ne in his extremely serious condition )f health. Persons close to the Pr Jent say regretfully that jf the Presiient had been able to do more to advance the Democratic cause in the :ampaign he would gladly have done ;o, but that his condition made more ictive participation prohibitive. Takes Daily Ride. The President takes his daily ride :rom the White House to the suburbs he ride usually lasting a little over in .hour. He is always accompanied >y Mrs. Wilson, and sometime. by >ther members of the family. Persons who have seen the Presilent at close hand on these daily Irives have noted considerable change n his appearance during the past fear. His face is drawn and his hair s almost white. An invitation has been extended to he President to address a gathering >f local Democrats at Masonic Tem-t >le tomorrow night. It is understood that either Secreary Tumulty or some other member if the administration family will appear in his stead. At the headquarters of the Repubican senatorial committee today reiewed confidence was expressed that . Republican majority of from elevep o fourteen members will be won in he Senate. Senator Poindexter, hairman, has left for his home in Vashington to cast his vote. He will lot return until Congress reassem>les. tEFINED CHAULMOOGA OIL MAY RELIEVE THE WORLD OF TUBERCULQSIS Washington, Oct. 26.?Refined :haulmooga oil which experts of the government public health service say las arrested the progress of leprosy s soc-n to be used by them in the ight against tuberculosis. The ex jeriments with tubercular patients vill be conducted in Hawaii: Dr. J. T. McDonald, superintending physician of the leprosy investigation station at Kalihi in Honolulu, vith Dr. A. L. Dean, chemist and jresident of the*Vniversity of Ha,vaii, will start the fight against tUserculosis, at the same time continling their work against leprosy. No concrete result of the use of :he chaulmooga oil in tuberculosis :ases has yet been reported to the headquarters of the public health service here, but from their investigation with tubercular bacilli isolated from a patient, Drs. McDonald and Dean have hopes of successful treatment of patients themselves. ni-_ i??:u: ?.f 1 ? ?vwl X lie JJdVJii 11 ui ivzfjujay axiu iuuciuuiosis, according to government scien:ists, have been found to have similar [characteristics and the fatty acids of :haulmooga oil semingly have proved poisonous to the leprosy bacillus, rhis is the basis for the scientific hope :hat these acids likewise will be dead,y to the germ of "white plague."
