One day peasant carried basket
of potatoes to the field and dug holes in

"By so doing each one will bring me
back ten, my son, " replied the father
The boy went away, and when his
father came mp to dinner he found him

atmosphere Of closed dwelling, Is the best

theories led to dispatching consumptives to the
Alps instead Of the balmy South Of France.
The other scheme has been embodied in sani-
toria, where people sit and walk out OF doors a
great deal. Emphasizing this point only two or
three weeks ago, "The Spectator remarked:
What Is so valuable in the Swiss treatment
is not the air OF the Alps, but the air.. People
who In England would lave been shut up In
their rooms all the winter have been encour
aged to be a great deal out Of doors, and to
live as much as possible out Of doors, and have
gained fresh life and strength by the process
Air can he had in England we'll as in Switzer-
land; indeed. 1t has been thought fault in our
climate that it gives too much air. But for
the consumptve patient this is just what is
wanted. Quantity not quality, Is the secret Cf

unlike Edinburgh Norfolk and Ireland have
