FLOWERS coNsuMPTIoN's FOE.
Physician Advocates Growing Plants
in Sick Rooms.

Physician Advocates Growing Plants
in Sick Rooms.
Flowers were advocated as cure
for consumption by Dr. Frances Bart
lett in paper which she read before
the Botanical Society of Pennsylvania
at the University Of Pennsylvania.
"Why send consumptives and suffer
ers to Colorado to benefit by the eli
mate when we can bring that climate
into their homes by the simple expedi-
ent Of having growing plants in their
rooms?" was the gist Of DR.. Bartlett's
remarks. Her paper was on FLOWERS
in the Sick Room" and in part she
said:
Growing plants, and especially
odoriferous Towering plants, are Of the
greatest value In the reatment Of the
sick.
"As long as the plants are kept moist
they will diffuse moisture, and they IN
doubtedly have the power to produce
ozone. Some plants will vaporize the
atmosphere to the amount Of three
IAluNo tASAA OWn Wight Ill q Ody. LII
this way the atmosphere Of sick room
can be made of the greatest benefit.
"The only dangerous plants to place
In the sick room are those which give
off unpleasant odors. Care should be
taken, however, not to keep cut flowers
in the rooms at night. They throw off
carbon dioxide, but during the daytime
the amount Of oxygen they produce
neutralizes the harmful effects.
'9The chief cause Of colds is found In
the habit Of going from heated build
ings into the cold street. If people
could only be prevailed upon to main
tain an eQuable temperature and hui
Nudity by having plants growing in
their homes and places Of business the
danger Of taking cold would be prac-
tically eliminated"
In a paper on "The Flowers Best

strong tribute to the humble bee

ton Of the seed we are almost abso-
lutely dependent for our crops of

smaller than the second. That is be-
cause early in the year the bees are

man in the big leather chair. mo;
it was something worse than that
was just starting out to earn my liv-
ing with brush, and was willing to
paint almost anything, from portrait
to the sky piece in theater scenery"
And then he went on to tell the story:
Zone of the public buildings in the
capital had a big dome, and on the
ceiling Of the dome was a great deal
of elaborate painting that had become
dingy, and needed retouching 1 was
pleased enough when l got the job of
doing it.
"They erected a staging for me to
work on-a frail-looking affair, which
almost turned me sick when 1 arrived
with my outfit and stood in the ro-
tunda, looking up at the dome, hun
dred and fifty feet above me.
"T shall be so dizzy can't hold a
brush,' said l to the carpenter.
"'Oh, that will be all rightv said he.
We're going to spread big canvas
under the staging, for the rotunda is in
use all the time, and you'd be spot

less we had something to protect
them
ct felt relieved when l heard that,
and still more relieved when / had
climbed up into the dome and found
that the entire rotunda below was
hidden by a taut cloth which the work
men had stretched across.

when 1 began to get careless i'll step
ping round the staging. | suppose the
canvas below me gave me a feeling of
comparative safety. About noon one
day took step backward to look up
at some drapery which | had just re-
painted. My foot touched only the
air, and 1 fell into the canvas.
"There was ripping and tearing
of cloth as l settled down into the
hollow. l lay there fiat on my back,
and looked round with an interest in
the quality and strength Of the can
vas and the way in which it was fas-
tened that you may be sure was sin
cere.
''There was no doubt about the fas-
strength Of the fastenings; they were
of rope, tied round big knots in the
cloth, and strong enough to hold a
horse. But the canvas itself was
frightfully thin, and was widowed
in spots. l turned over on my face
and found myself staring through a
rip down to the marble flooring Of the
rotunda, hundred feet below.
II was comfortable enough physical
ly, but mentally! Every time moved
something would stretch and tear.
"Of course l yelled for help and af-
ter a time l heard answering shouts
below. The canvas was sagging down
in the middle and straining and squeak
ing along the edges. | figured out that
it would take the workmen at least
two minutes to climb into the dome.
BY the time they got to me | thought
l should be spread out below.
II tried to move up the incline of
cloth, scrambling along on my stom-
ach, and pushing with my feet; but the
attempt widened the rip in the can
vas. Suddenly, as l pushed harder

whole leg shot through the canvas.
