New Design of Open Crate.

The ordinary fireplace has the great
est advantage of not heating more
than one room, and for this reason it
is seldom used, except for an addi-
tional fire in winter or to take the
chill off room in the spring or fall.
John H. Heitland of Quincy, Illinois,
has conceived the idea of
heating more than one apart
ment with the open CRATE, thus chang
ing 1t from luxury to practical
heater. The intention is to arrange
water pockets around the fireplace in
such manner that a body of water
is kept constantly hot and circulates
through pipes to other rooms.
A picture of the invention is shown
herewith, the firebox standing alone
with the thing removed, to show the
manner of fitting the pipes and con.
Quoting the water to the other COM
partments. At the rear of the CRATE
and projecting over it is corrugated

the army eleven through the greatest

ease has been robbed of its terrors."
General Arthur Macarthur, who was

WISE WORDS.

The way Of the aggressor is hard.
You may follow luck to ruin, but not
to success.
Condemn no enc until you have beer
in his place.
Obligation manaces friendship and
destroys love.
Ambition and contentment seldom
travel together.
Nature tolerates assistance, but pun
ishes resistance with death.
Self-loye is an excellent critic, but
only of others, not Of ones self.
Reputation must be gained by many
deeds; it can be lost by only one.
In the diary of life we note our
blessings in lead, our sorrows in in
delibile ink.
Nature makes fools occasionally, ana
uses them rs backgrounds for her wis
est children.
The love Of son for his mother
should be composed both Of chiyalry
and reverence.
The one who deliberately uses his
friends is knave, but he who permits
them to use him is a fool
TO boast Of the wealth or social po-
sition Of friends cannot glorify you;
therefore never boast of them.
1t is very easy to speak we'll of those
we do not know. 1t is more difficult
not to speak ill of those we do.

And DR.. Appel has laid down for his
patients a set of hygienic rules that
common sense itself should enforce
without fear of the guard house. To
the foolish these rules may seem "vul-
gar" but the truly wise will at once
appreciate their force against the in
lection Of tuberculosis Besides, these
rules can be adyantageously followed
by every consumptive wherever he is.
The rules are conspicuously posted
throughout the recreation rooms and
dOrmitories:
Consumption is an infectious dis
ease, caused by germ which is found
in the saliva, therefore the saliva must
be carefully destroyed. Should it 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 we'll 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 as
much as possible, and always when
indoors keep the windows open
go to bed early, take moderate ex.
! ercise, when not instructed to the con.
trary; eat your meals slowly and chew
your food thoroughly.
do not help yourself to food from
any dish except your own plate will
your fork or spoon, but use those pro
vided for that purpose. Try to refrain
from coughing at meals; you can, will
slight effort, do much to prevent 1t.
THE use Of stimulants and cigarettes
is forbidden. Smoking and chewing to
baecO in moderation is permitted
IWhiskers and mustaches must be close
ly trimmed
Patients not bedridden must oh
serve the following rules:
"1-They must occupy their quarter
only from 730 p. m. to s a. m.
"2-They must make their own bed
and neatly arrange their personal be
longings, none of which are to be lef
on the floor
