SUN WARDS IN HOSPITALS.
They Are Very Largely Instrune n tn
in Curing Many Patients
of Disease

The theory that sunlight eXerts a
powerfully healing influence upon dis
ease processes has now become so we'll
established that the sunroom is re-
garded as 4 necessity in well-ap-
pointed hospital. In the plans of new
hospitals that aspire to be up to date
the soiarium finds !, prominent place,
and to keep up with the advances of
medical science many of the old hos
pi;als are attaching solaria to their
buildings, says the Trained Nurse.
The sun ward is easily built. 1t
must be, of course. on the south side
OF the building, having it's eastern,
southern and western walls largely
constructed of glass. A good plan is
to build a large bay window. with
( metal frame work, and, if the hos
, pital building is to be three or four
stories high, this bay window may ex-
tend to the full height of the main
structure. With this arrangement
each floor will have the advantages
Of sun ward.
The means of ventilation should be
! perfect and the heating arrangements
o"odudoc, ioI tHe sun Datn is just dS
practicable and useful on bright, win
try days as on sunny days of summer
IT the outlook from the windows of
the solarium is pleasant, if the land
scape is diversified with hills, trees
green lawns or fields or lake or a
bit of the ocean. SO much the better
Unfortunately for some institutions
the south view from the hospital is
limited by walls of brick and stone
Nothing, however, can deteriorate
the direct rays of the sun, so that,
wherever possible, this exceedingly
useful and very cheap commodity
should h" utilized for therapeutic eff

number has been fixed as the member

township committee may be increased
as the size of the township and work

may be one or more members of the
township committee appointed for

ward, as may be required to accom-
plish the enrolment. The lmpor-
tance of this arrangement is apprecia-

tered the Confe'leracy's service or in
which he resided after such service
ceased; so that Veterans homestead

where he resided) may suggest Vet
eran's name for enrolment.
The organization of township or
neighborhood camps of Veterans and
OF sons and daughters of Veterans sug-
gested by the State conventions reso-
lutions will doubtless prove valuable
aid to the work. However, committees
on enrolment will be appointed in
every township in the State, and it Is
reasonably and confidently hoped that
every native born resident of every
neighborhood will deem it privilege

their own Veteran fathers, brothers,

are generally harmless. Every com.
munity has one or two and they keep
us amused at their Munchausen eX.
ploits in hunting and fishing and thei,
| narrow escapes.
F! Then there are some uncommon
liars-liars of the first magnitude as
Shakespeare calls them, such as Baron
| Munchausen, Joe Mulhattan and some
Chicago editors and preachers. Some
of these get into the pulpit and make
| up pathetic stories and thrilling Incl
dents to emphasize their sermons and
create sensatio And there are
| thousands of little lhite lies, society
lies that have to be told for civility's
sake-lies that fatter and please the
visitor, the customer or the patient.
All these are spoken lies, but there are
as many acted lies in trading, such as
concealing the truth and putting the
best on top. In fact, everybody lico
more or less except children and fools,
most OF us mean no harm by 1t. My
old partner used to say that some
mighty clever men would be shut out
OF heaven for swearing lie to their
lax returns, for David says, Z" Lord,
who shall abide in Thy tabernacle;
who shall dwell IN Thy holy hill-he
that speaketh the truth in his heart
and sweareth to his own hurt and
changeth not"
Withholding what is due to the State
is as bad as stealing from it. And
withholding what a man ought to give
to the church he belongs to is almost
as great sin as that of Apanias. 1t
Is stealing from God. Nothing that a
member of the church can do so readily
fixes his character as a Christian as
his Willingness TO give all that he can
according to his means. Tithes and
offerings have come down to us from
Cain and Abel in an unbroken line
Cain was a bad man, but he paid his
tithes. He was the first liar on record
the devil excepted.
Then there are the lies published
every day in the great daily papers =
political hes, commercial lies and medi-
cal lies-to catch the ignorant and un.
suspccting; some reporters lie to show
their diligence in business. High
coloring, vcneering, vanishing are es-
sential qualities in reporter, whether
his journal be white or yellow. He
must lie little, even though it has to
be taken back or modified the next
day. And so the world wags on and
the people have become so accustomed
to lies that they make allowance for
everything they hear or read.
When the historian wanted to cap
the climax of General Washington's s
noble character he wove in that little
story of the cherry tree and made the
boy to say: Father, cannot tell a
lie." And so l hope that all our little
boys will grow up to be truthful men.
Don't go behind the barn and smoke a
cigarette, for that is telling lie TO
your father. You can tell a lie by
winking your eyes or pointing yoIr
finger or concealing what you do from
your parents or your teacher. II you
do wrong own it like gentleman and
you will have their respect as well as
your own.
But the downfall of Tammany was
no defeat Of the New York Democracy
for there were as many good Demo
Gratis as Republicans on that fusion
ticket, and they will help Low to clean
out the Augean stables. So let the
procession proceed.

MISS STONE IS NOT TO BLAME.--The
executive officers of the American
Board of Foreign Missions, concern
ing the case of Miss Ellen M. Stone,
have issued statement intended to be
corrective of reports that have been
widely published relative to the condi-
ton that resulted in her capture blythe
brIgands. This statement atfirms that
Miss Stone was in pursuit Of her custo-
mary duties as missionary when she
was captured. The route over which
she was travelling is one that is con-
tinually used 10y the missionaries and
without reason for apprehending any
