The "open air treatment" for con.
sumption Is now acknowledged to be
the best.
Here. In this dry. rare atmosphere of
astonishingly equable temperature. a
consumptive can remain In the open air
day and night all the year around.
Again. Major Appel can enforce his
orders: military discipline compels all
patients to do precisely as he directs.
In a word. DR.. Appel can say. Take
these pills or III put you under arrest"
Physicians who are In private practice
or who are internes In non-military
sanitarla for consunptives cannot do
that.
And DR.. Appel has laid down for his
patients set Of hyglenic rules that
common sense itself should enforce
without fear of the guard house. To
the foolish these rules muy seem "vul-
gar" but the truly wise will at once
appreciate their force against the In
fection of tuberculosis. Besides. these
rules can be advantageously followed
by every consumptive wherever he Is.
The rules are conspicuously posted
throughout the recreation rooms aud
dorm!tories:
Consumption Is IN infectious dis
ease. caused by germ which is found
In the saliva. therefore the saliva must
be carefully destroyed. Should 1t be
allowed to dry. and In the form Of dust
float around In the air. millions OF
these germs would be set free and
would endanger not only those who
are well. but would often reinfect
those who are sick. and thus undo the
benefit derived from months Of care.
ITO be benefited by this excellent
climate you must live outdoors rs
much as possible. and always when
indoors keep the windows open.

Tn. Evolution Of tho Sod. Fountain.

The rapid increase in the trade Ell,
joyed by the proprietors Of soda foun-
tains In the leading cities Of the uni
ted States has led to the installation
Of many very elaborate and costly
outfits. Most Of the finer ones are
made OF Mexican onyx and cost In
some Instances as high as $4,000 or
$4,000. A $4,000 soda fou2tain would
be made OF the finest material and
would be Of great size. 1t might have
thirty draft tubes and 100 syrup cans.
Very beautiful onyx fountains Of the
dimensions more commonly used. say
with ten syrups and three draft tubes.
can be bought for from $3.50 to $500.
In fact. a handsome onyx fountain can
be bought for $500. But not every
body wants an onyx fountain. There
are yet purchasers who prefer one OF
marble. a marble fountain with onyx
trimmings could be had at. say. $3.50.
An old-style marble fountain might be
had for $50.
Fifty years ago or thereabouts soda
water was drawn from q silver tube
rising out Of the counter. Then came
the first visible soda fountains. small
marble boxes. placed on the counter.
From these developed the elaborate
and often costly fountains Of marble
that preceded the onyx fountain Of the
present. Beautiful ahd costly marble

Is that with the aid Of the small pad

animal can be locked up. so that he
