Weeks may pass after the germs enter the body before there are any marked warning signs, then the person may no¬ tice that he is losing a little weight, or he may have a cough that hangs on, a loss of appetite with a little indigestion or an afternoon fever. The most com¬ mon sign, however, is tirednets, a loss of pep, a weariress that comes on after a little exertion, and cannot be explained away. Blood spitting is another signal that should never be passed by. It may come early in the disease and almost always means tuber¬ culosis. A sharp stitch in the side is the first symptom of which some people complain. Any of the svmptoms should be a signal to visit the doctor at once. He must decide whether signs are due to tubeicmosis or to something else, as the hope oi totting well lies in beginning treatment early. DELAY IS DANGEROUS. While tubercu¬ losis most commonly takes hold- in the lung, it may also attack any part of the body. The”e may be tuberculosis of the bone, bow¬ els, stomach and kidneys, tuber¬ culosis of the throat is usually a part of the lung tuberculosis. Military of galloping tuberculosis is the form in which the germs spread rapidly all over the lung and cause death in a few days. Rest is the most usual treat¬ ment for tuberculosis. Rest eases the work of the lung and gives it a chance to heal. A good food is another need of the body when fighting tuberculo¬ sis. The diet should be well balanced, including milk, eggs, meat, vegetables, fruits, fresh air that is cool in slight motion is needed by patients suffering from tuberculosis. All patients with the disease should keep in close touch with a physician. The prevention and control of tuberculosis is one of our chief Public Health problems and the help of all citizens is needed Don’t forget the Mobile X-ray Clinic will be in Trenton Novem¬ ber 4.

LAN HAMS WEEKLY LETTER YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS Congressional Farm Committee To Pass Through Georgia The Committee on Agriculture of the House, left Washington Saturday, October 11, on a so- called “grass roots” tour to get the ideas of farmers on a long range agricultural program.

It seems to me that this soil conservation program is one of the greatest ever undertaken by our Federal Government on be¬ half, not only of the farmers, but of all the people of Amer¬ ica. We must conserve our soil which, next to our youth, is the greatest of our natural resour¬ ces. I am glad that I have been able to arrange my schedule so as to attend this important meeting in Macon. From Montgomery to Mobile From Montgomery where I will attend the hearing on the long range farm program about which I have already comment¬ ed, I plan to go to Mobile to see Colonel Joseph J. Twitty, the District Chief of the Army En¬ gineers. I am going to discuss the general question of soil con serviaton and flood control in the district with special refer¬ ence to the development of the entire Coosa River system in¬ cluding proposed dams at Tif- ton and Carters Quarter, the Allatoona Dam at Cartersville, the sub-impoundment dam at Acworth and other projects on the lower Coosa and Alabama River systems. Pre-Fbbricated Houses Made In Seventh District Many people probably do not know it, but there is a corpora¬ tion composed of veterans known as U. S. Homes, Inc. This cor¬ poration leased a portion of the warehouse at the Bell Bomber Plant in Cobb county, near, or in Marietta. They are turning out ready prepared units which are quickly put together to form substantial and beautiful homes at most reasonable prices. On October 23rd, I plan to go to Washington for a conference with Kenneth Royall, Secretary of the Department of the Army, on a matter of vital interest and importance to this organization of veterans which is doing much to solve the housing shortage. I plan to be in Washington only a few days after which I will resume my visits to the counties in the district which I have not yet visited.
