crate and expensive buildings are not

crate and expensive buildings are not
necessary. A simple though durable
construction on the colony plan, In
which the patients pass .he whole time
in the open air, or as nearly as may be,
is all that is required. These s~anatorla
would furnish object lessons to the peo-
pie of the state on the management Of
tuberculosis which. after all, must be the
main reliance in preventing the spread
of the disease. The early and prompt
restoration Of all durable cases is the
most important item.
Above all the profession in the rural
district should rise to the Importance
OF the occasion and there should be es-
tablished by physicians throughout the
state private sanatoria for the treat
ment of consumption. All that is re-
CURED is a suitable site, arrangements
for feeding patients and a simple med
zeal equipment. Tents have been DEM
onstrated to be by far the best dwelling
places for tuberculous patients, and it
is possible to have patients dwell in
them the entire year, even in a climate
as severe as ours.
The state owes something to its de-
pendents confined in asylums, as well
as those in prison. The mortality from
tuberculosis in public institutions is far
too high. Already steps have been
taken in certain institutions to obviate
the large death rate from this disease.
The New York state hospital for the
insane on Wards Island has demon
strated the value of outdoor treatment
for the tuberculous insane, and steps
should at once be instituted to meet the
requirements of the institutions In the
state of Illinois.
To sun up, the duty Of the state in re-
lation to tuberculosis at this time is:
~ The establishment of a state lab
oratory for the examination of sputum
which would be available for both the
profession and the citizens of the state.
An adjunct to this would be the dissem-
nation of correct ideas on the manage
ment of tub~erculous cases and the
avoidance of Infection.
(2) The establishment of one or more
sanatoria largely for the educational eff
feet, and not with the hope of caring for
any considerable number Of consump-
tives, but to demonstrate that hygienic
and home treatment in our climate is
successful and practical.
(3) Drastic legislation such as ON
p%ulsory notification Of tuberculous
cases, the quarantine of tuberculosis or
other measures which teach that the in
diyidual c%onsumptive is a danger to
those about him are to be deprecated.
and are against the interests, not only OF
the consumptiye himself, but they do
not protect his associates.

CHARACTER TOLD BY BACKS
Attitude of Men ut Lunch Counter Re-
veals Something of Their
Temperament.

You can tell them by their backs
the men who have no happy homes.
OF have left them TO eat In chop
houses. There are all kinds of backs
in a row at a lunch counter when the
rush is on and they show all kinds
of character and temperament and all
stages of the lunch counter habit, says
the Chicago Tribune.
The man whose back is a round
hump is an old stager IN the place.
He drops into a seat without looking
around and without any attempt to
preserve the human form divine in any
Of its proper dignity. Naturally, his
head drops down near the counter, just
over the place where his plate will be.
He gives his order without any more
than a glance at the list of delicacies
hung on the wall, Ten to II he has
a favorite dish, and the waiter doesn't
need more than a murmur from him
to know what he wants.
This man never seems to be in a
hurry. He may not nave much time
to spare, but he knows that he can
not say any time by sitting bolt up
right in the chair and looking nerv-
ously at the walters after the name
Of the man who only occasionally takes
his meals in a %chophouse.
The man whose back is just as straight
in the c|hophouse chair as it is on the
street is either bubbling over with en-
ergy, or, less often. is built that way. He
is generally not a fat man nor inclined
to be at all stout, and it is easy to guess
why.
Next to backs, the most interesting
thing in the ordinary ~chophouse is the
names the walters have for the different
dishes. They are far and away a greater
mystery than the tales the backs tell.
Among them is. Side O horse, to come
a-running." It is believed to have some
connection with a roast beef sandwich,
with horseradish, but no one has yet vol
unteered a convincing explanation.

GET SICK ON THE RAILWAY.
MANY Travellers Are Curiously AZ
fected by the Motion Of
tho Cars.

Seasickness Is not the only malady
from which travellers suffer. Almost as
distressing an ailment is that which af-
ficts many people when making a jour-
ney on the railroad. These people, says
an exchange, find that road legs are as
essential to them as are sea legs to those
crossing the Atlantic, They suffer from
the jolting omnibus to the quick-stop-
ping electric cars and air-braked trains
and frequent opportunities arise for es.
timating the various amounts of agility,
clutching of stay straps and compen-
sating bodily movements made by the
cognoscenti in the particular class OF We
hicle of which they are for the time en-
deavoring to form an integral part.
That all forms of travelling are firing Is
evident from the common tendency to
sleep in railway carriages.
The vagaries of the travelling public
are curious; some cannot ride except
facing the engine or the horses. others
cannot travel at all by railway, some
have faint feelings when going at high
speed, Others are made actually sick, and
the utmost confusion has been caused
to some u%nfortunates by the seats oppo-
site the direction In which the train is
moving being occupied, though, curious
ly enough, the samn feeling is not set up
when the passenger can have a seat
placed parallel with the direction OF
progress.
There Is reason 20 believe that tho
action upon the eye muscles of the rap
idly changing paraliax and the quick
passage of objects that are met and left
have much to do with the production Of
tired feelings and Of headaches caused
by long journeys, and great relief is
often experienced by simply closing the
eyes or by refraining from looking out
of the windows, and If reading is to be
