To Prevent Spread d Tuberculosis.
French Professors Views.


One Of the principal papers before the
British congress on tuberculosis vas read
by Prof. Brouardel of Paris, who urged in
ternational legislation in regard to the no.

of tuberculosis and the desinfect:on and sa-
lubrity of hotels, railroad cars and steam.
boats, thus preventing the spread of tuber.
culosis.
Prof Brouardel, who is dean of the medical
faculty of Paris, maintained that the disease
was durable. He said that any measures
tending to limit the rayages OF alcoholism
would diminish the mortality from consum
tior, and referred to the great danger in
hawking pieces OF meat in public places and
in the sale OF milk which had not been
examined. Prot Brouardel believed these
dangers could be remedied by legislation.
He. said that the measures needed for
the prevention of tuberculosis we're identical
in every country, and that the first step in
this direction was to render unhealthy dwell
lIngs and districts salubrious. A health,
house, he said, was anti tubercular.
lie complimented the United States on
its quick realization Of The dangers of ex
pecloration and on its legislation in The
matter. He said that once this habit hai
quite disappeared tuberculosis would de-
crease rapidly.

A Unique Christmas Entertainment.

Some merry girls gave an enter
tainment last Christmas which was
unique only in its adaptation. The
invitations were for "A Christmas
Dance" and all were asked to come
in costumes representing fruits and
vegetables. The rooms were dec
grated as for a barn dance, the man
tells and corners banked with celery,
cranberries, holly, and punches of
yellow maize ma lie from crepe pa
per. When the guests arrived the
rooms looked like an animated
kitchen garden. One girl was love-
~ in pale green cheese cloth abund-
antly trimmed with celery leaves.
Another was a veritable Ceres in
corn and masses of wheat and pop
pies. The men wore enormous
boutonnieres Of celery tops, carrots
and parsley. Their grotesque APP
pearance seemed to inspire a GER
tain humorous contagion to their
spirits. and the affair was universal

There is an etiquette governing
the giving and receiving OF presents,
as there is about most things, be-
cause there is always a best way TO
do everything. If we penetrate be-
low the surface OF the little courte-
Gus conventions we shall find that
consideration for the feelings of 9th
ers underlies all. DO not try to
make your gift look as though it
cost more than you paid for it.
Aside from the paltry spirit of such
giving it is a delusion and snare,
for next year your offering must
seem to be as fine as the one of this
season, or you may appear to have
been less anxious to please your
friend. The best gifts are those
which put no tax upon material re-
sources. but trihes Of which the re-
cipients may make frequent use,
and SO keep the giver in mind.
Take the time to write few words
OF loving or cordial greeting on the
cards that accompany the gifts.
Without that evidence of individual, ,
personal thought the offering Of even
the finest present appears somewhat
graceless and perfunctory. A mes
sage on card is better than a note,
because more informal, and one
should not seem to make much OF a
gift. Having your presents daintily
wrapped is not less matter of cour-
tesy. Let their outward appear
ance commend them. Leave them
or send them to their destination
the day before Christmas-unless
you can insure their reception early
in the day. A tardy gift appears
like an afterthought. -December
