Portable churches have followed the
portable school house. The Dutch Re-
formed Church of Pennsylvania is con-
sidering the advisability of adopting
them in communities too poor and too
thinly settled to afford a permanent
house of worship. The buildings are
made of corrugated, galvanized iron
fastened to a wooden framework. The
inside is sheathed with matched
boards, between which and the iron
walls is a lining of heavy felt, which
keeps the building warm in winter and
cool in the summer. Each piece is SO
marked and the whole so planned that
any ordinary mechanic can put the
building together Such a church, with
a seating capacity of three hundred
can be built for fifteen hundred dollars.
The portable church. however, is not
an automobile 1t Is like other churches
in that it will not "go" unless people
pull together.

Sir William Garstin, under secretary
of the Public Works Department of
the Egyptian government, has submit
ted to the British imperial government
n gigantic engineering project, which,
with the existing dams and irrigatins
canals, would enable the river Nile to
be kept in constant flow and make of
the whole vast Nile basin the richest
agricultural area in the world, resu-
lnrly raising two crops every year.
The scheme is to raise the level OF
Lake Tsana, which lies high on the
Abyssinian plateau. five meters. By
this means 132 trillion million cubic
meters of water could be stored for the
dry season. The assent of King Meme
lex is necessary to this work, which
Lord Cromer does not deem impossi-
bic to obtain, even in the face of strong
= ranco-R Russian opposition.

From the time of St Pauls young
man of Troas to- the recent death oi
the gifted son of the Secretary OF

Building and Loan Taxes.

Building and loan associations must
pay taxes on the full amount of their
capitalization. This Is the decision
rendered by Attorney General Post in
response to request for ruling on
the subject received from State Au-
ditor Crouter. The opinion of the at
torney general follows:
Hon. c. w. Crouter. Auditor of State
of Colorado.-Dear Sir: In reply to
your communication of some time ago
asking on what basis you should col
lect the annual license tax from the
building and loan associations, l have
the honor to say:
After n careful investigation of the
law and authorities on the taxation of
building and loan associations l have
come to the conclusion that they
should pay this license tax upon the
full amount of their capitalization as
shown by their articles of incorpora-
ton
'This annual corporation license is
not n tax upon the capital, but is a
license collected upon the basis of cap
italiZation. The language of the law,
section TO- revenue law, excludes the
idea that the license may be based
upon the amount of stock sold or cap
ital paid in.
"The expression capital stock rs
used in the statutes of this state
means the amount of nominal capital
ization as may be determined from n
study of the various sections in which
it occurs, and this being the case its
use in different sense by implication
or construction is unwarranted.
while building and loan associa-
tons differ from otlsr forms of cor
porations in the manner of realizing
the profits from the funds invested
therein, this is practically the only
fundamental difference and that differ
ence is not sufficient to warrant the
adoption of a new definition of well
settled term without express authority
therefor.
"It has been said that the nominal
capitalization of building and loan as
sociations are of no value and there
fore the license should not be based
upon it. But this nominal capital ia
of n certain value as a matter of in
ducement TO investors, if for nothing
else. Your duty, therefore, seems very
clear to me in the matter"

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
How to Proceed to Prevent Spread
ing the Malady.

In caring for any contagious disease
at home there are certain precautions
to be observed by the nurse for her
own safety as well as the spread Of the
disease. Free ventilation is one Of the
most important items. The better the
ventilation the less the chance of coma
gion by dilrfting the air. To insure this
take board about a foot wide and the
length of the window and slip it under
the window opened to admit it. This
provides a constant current of fresh air
through the middle opening between
the two sashcs and without danger Of
drafts. Then by opening the window
from the top short distance several
times an hour the room is kept thor
oughly aired.
Prolonged contact with the patient
that has been in the sickroOm should
be eaten by any but the patient. The
person filling the Office of nurse should
never eat without previous and thor
ough washing OF the face and hands.
Ordinary soap and water cleanliness is
not enough. This must be supplement-
ed by some disinfecting preparation,
preferably solution Of to 1900 cor
rosive sublimate.
For the prevention of cOntagion to
others n strict quarantine should be
established. An upper room should be
used If possible and the furniture
should be as severely simple as is con-
sistent with the comfort of the patient.
If there is prospect of long illness,
two small cots will prove great con-
vcnience. BY placing them close to-
gether it is easy to move the patient
from one to another when changing the
bedding and also permits each to be
thoroughly aired each day.
Preferably the floor should be bare,
with two or three light rugs that can
be cleansed when the quarantine is re-
moved. All draperies Of wooden should
be dispensed with. likewise pictures,
books or any upholstered furniture or
brica-brac that will not stand disin-
fecting. In severe cases an excellent
precaution for the safety Of the rest Of
the house is to hang q sheet portiere
wise before the door of the sickroom
and frequently saturate it with diluted
carbolic acid, so that whenever it is
necessary to open the door the air pass
ing out of the room is purified before
reaching the halls. The nurse should
also be provided with several loose cot
ton gowns to wear in the sickroom,
changing them If permitted to go into
other DartS of the hO,So
Nothing must go out Of the sickroom
be thoroughly scalded before sending
the tray out Of the room. At the end
Of the disease the room and its con-
tents, including both nurse and patient,
must be thoroughly disinfected.

How to Hang Pictures.

Contrary to the natural inclination,
dark heavily shaded pictures should
not always hang in the strongest light,
but should in some cases seek shell
tered position, away from the glare
Of the windows. Near the light may
hang pictures in fainter tints. the sub.
dued water colors, the line engravings
whose best points need illumination.
Just as in well planned room the
dark color is found in the carpet and
melts from that through the shades Of
the curtains and furniture to the light
est nuance in the wall, so the lower
pictures should be more somber in
hue than the upper and should lead
the eye unconsciously from the deep
est tone to the highest light. sr

How She Settled the Question.

The question of precedence ut dinner
and at social functions at Washington
Is weighty one in official circles, but
once upon time there was western
senator whose wife thought very light
ly on this subject. She was in Wash
ington for a good time, and she re-
solved to have it without bothering
about precedence.
This fearless little woman gave a
dinner on one occasion, and when it
was time to get her guests from the
drawing room into the dining room she
said:
"There is some precedence about all
this, but I don't know what it is. Just
shoe out to dinner, every one Of you,
and sit down anywhere you please"

worked rfectly.-EXchange

How Do You Pronounce s'DOg 2"

How do you pronounce dog" The
chances are that, if you are an average
Massachusetts citizen, you pronounce
the "o'' rather broad, like go" in song,
The Century Dictionary, which is a
very indulgent dictionary indeed, al
lows you to pronounce it so if you
wish, but no other dictionary does.
You should really sound the 80" as in
not. Likewise how do you pronounce
"hog" Even the Century won't let
you say "hawg." This reminds me
that a friend has written the following
beautiful but abstruse poem:
MY HOG AND MY DOG.
IA lesson in pronunciation
I once owned rowing hog
And likewise a little dog,
Whom chained unto log
To keep him from bog
Which was near.
That my faithful little dawg,
Despite the chain and ,lawg,
Would pursue that rowing hawg
And get drowned in the bawg
Was my fear.
