about 150,000 pairs of nylons in the
very near future.
Speaking of schools and school
work an exchange has this to say:
"Unfortunately no teacher, how-
ever competent, can make his
pupils heed everything he says.
Not by shouting or gesturing or
scolding can this be done.
To a great extent everybody who
has an education is self-educated.
The student must do more than
half of the wofk of his education,
and he can not do that if his mind
is busy thinking about what he is
going to do after the class hour is
over."
It has been announced that price
ceilings on white potatoes will be
re-established if the upward trend
in prices continue.
The OPA said if the advance is
only temporarily the price ceilings
will remain suspended for, at least,
the pehiod extending from March
7 to April 7.
After that, potatoes will go back
under price control unless circum-
! stances at that time justify an ex-
tension of time.

HEALTH FOR ALL
FINDING TB EARLY
Tremendous strides have been
made in the conquest of tubercu-
losis in the twentieth century, yet
the disease is still one of the great-
est public health problems in this
country, killing approximately 55,-
000 persons a year.
Prior to the latter part of the
those afflicted 1 nineteenth century so little was
j known about tuberculosis that doc-
tors could offer little hope of re-
covery to its victims. Then, in 1882
Robert Koch discovered the tuber-
cle bacillus and proved that it was
the sole cause of the disease.
So it became known that tuber-
culosis is caused by a germ, and
germs are catching. This means
that people with tuberculosis
transmit the disease to other peo-
ple.
Koch's discovery was an invalu-
able contribution to knowledge
about t his baffling disease. Med-

Rationing officer. Robert Trigg,
of the Office of Price Administra-
tion issued a warning to house-
wives and cooks that the sugar sit-
uation is still serious and canning
sugar should be used for that pur-
pose only since another stamp for
canning sugar is not expected until
October .'11.
It is said the hosiery mills of
New Braunfels. Texas will resume
production of nylons at an early
date. The mills produced only ray-
on hose during the war as there
was no material available for ny-
lons.
The factory proposes to turn out

ciety. The cure of the individual
often rests upon finding the disease
before extensive damage has been
done the lungs. And control of the
disease depends upon finding the
unknown cases which are threaten-
ing the health of other persons in
the community.
Another nineteenth century dis-
covery opened the door to early
diagnosis. This was the X-ray,
discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm
Conrad Roentgen, German physi-
cist. This remarkable ray, which
has the power to penetrate opaque
matter, has become the chief diag-
nostic weapon in the fight against
tuberculosis. By means of the
X-ray, doctors can see the lung
and study pictures made of it.
Progress made in the develop-
ment of X-ray machinery in the
past 25 years has placed this diag-
nostic aid at the disposal of every-
one. Today X-ray equipment is in-
cluded in every modern hospital.
Many physicians have X-ray ma-
in
municating it to someone else.
Playing safe with the heart will
be discussed in the next article.

losis was easily recognized by the
experienced doctor, but tubercu-

to learn to find it in its early
stage.
