made by the Health Board as an exaggeration.
President Wilson when seen yesterday, however,
strcnuously defended the sep taken by the au-
thorities. He informed a Tribune reporter that
since the Board had learned. more than year
ago. OF the bad sanitary condition OF the nstitu-
tion repeated demands had been made to have the
defects remedled. The only answers 10 these
orders. President Wilson says. received from the
society were to the effect that applications had
been made to the State Controller for appropria-

Health Board in auarantning the Institution
IN The Tribune Of yesterday some Of the after
noon papers enlarged considerably upon the real
facts One paper went so far IA 10 announce that
the lives OF nine hundred young children were In

reports and pointed out 10 Tribune reporter that
no child was received into the home under the age
of twelve years and that the average age or the
Inmates was fifteen years. lie said that recently
only five cases of measles had developed, and that
nroper care and attention had been given to the

President General Of the T. s. s.: | thought
some of our "shut-ins' would like hear OF n
original way of preparing Easter eggs that was
practised by very dear aunt Of mine NOW at
resD. who invalid for more thar thirty
years. and the work she did performed while
lying down.
First eggs colored any color desired. and
then with small penknife little designs were
"scratched' them. generally something en-
blematc of Easter. such as the butterfly. lilies
Easter greetings the cross covered with flowers
for instance. The effect beautiful. OF course
the colorng of the egg came away in the lines
scratched and the little lines Of white formed the
picture In beginning 1t would be easier sketch
in the design lightly with pencil and scratch
over the pencil lines. When finished they were
put i'm boxes filed with cotton batting, and some
given TO friends, but mostly sold as work for the
church" and in time Miss Lucy's eggs became
famous and decorating them was one OF the joys
of her life II any "shut-in' would like more
detailed directions in preparing the eggs, | shall
be happy to answer any questions about them.
