The passage argues that ideal living conditions and rest can ease tuberculosis, but many face poverty and toil making relief unlikely. It predicts a future spread of the disease unless a preventive serum is found, comparing suffering to the violence of war and noting war’s broad impact beyond tactics.

Old Time Sailors Rally as War Brings Back Sailing Ships
Veterans aged 62 to 75 return to the seas as Germany's submarine campaign renews demand for sailing ships. Masters and crews navigate aged vessels, recalling around the Horn and trade winds, while modern steamers plow on. The piece ends by tying a question to Texas jack rabbits amid food conservation.
