tuberculosis camp.
1t was apprehended that not only
might the patients themselves resent
their transfer, but that similar objec-
ton might come from their relatives
and friends, since innovations. even
progressive ones. are apt to be
frowned upon by those who constitute
the majority in the clientele of a pub
lie hospital in cosmopolitan city.
Even at the outset, however, the pro.
tests, whether from patients or their
friends, were surprisingly few, and
latterly they have been more apt to
arise, if at all, over the patients re-
turn to the buildings when that be-
came necessary.
The question of medication may in
the present writing be dismissed with
very brief reference. 1t has been
found unnecessary to extend it great
ly, and it has been limited mainly to
the treatment of symptoms. Stimula-
tion-alcoholic and the like-has been
found of but little demand or use. and
the quantities consumed-always un.
der individual medical prescription
have been Insignificant On the other
hand. the dietary has been made as
liberal as the imposed restrictions of
the State Hospital schedule have per-
in ha Nf ,1at
diet and extras, and in the leading es-
sentials-milk and eggs-private do
nations have supplemented the regular
supply. But dependence, after all, has
been mainly placed upon the rigid
isolation and disinfection. and upon
the unlimited supply of fresh air AS
an interesting incidental fact it may
be mentioned that not only the pa
tients, but also the nurses living in the
camp have enjoyed almost complete
immunity from other pulmonary dis.
eases. Not a single case of pneumonia
has developed in the camp in its ex.
istence of over three years, though il
causes 1871 deaths in the hospital prop.
er in that time. The common colds
so frequent among their fellows living
upon the wards, or in the Attendants
Home, have been unknown among the
tent-dwellers.
The popular idea that the consump-
tive is doomed man unless he can
at once abandon home and family and
business and betake himself to some
remote region would seem to be mega

candidate appeared in the person OF r.,

ter vindication Of Englands claim TO
be a democratic countray than the
spectacle afforded Of "beted
earl" competing for votes with
the humble purveyor OF cheap re-
freshments, The nobeman won by a
large majority, largely due TO the fact
that MS opponent was so tardy In en-
tering the lists against him. Yet. as
the earls capacity for municipal work
has never been put 10 the test, IL il
an open question whether the coffee

useful member Despite his lowly
calling he Is a man Of parts and public

TO assist his colleagues on the council

opportunities TO acquire greater dis

ONDON, Jan. Elf a United
States senator should seek cleo
ton TO a board OF aldermen In any
American city II would be thought
that he had fallen low in the political
world. But such matters are judged
by n different standard here, When a
peer seeks election TO the London coun-
ty council--the central governing body
OF this metropolis--it is regarded as ev-
idence Of n commendable desire on his
part to play a useful role in public life
As hereditary Legislators the Occu-
pants of the upper house are not held
In high esteem. The newspapers pay
little attention to their speeches. Their
chief function Is TO keep the commons
from going ahead too fast, but they
have to be careful that they do not clap
the brakes on too hard or public opln-
ion would compel the extinction Of their
legislative powers.
No less an authority than Lord Rose
berry who was chairman OF the first
London county council declared that n
member of that democratic body had
far greater opportunities Of rendering
good service to the community than a
member of the house of lords. There
fore when the Right Honorable George
Devereux de We're Capell, Earl Of Es-
sex, announced his intention OF running
for the London county council, as a
representative OF the Borough OF Mary
lebone, II was regarded as proof Of
his lordships desire to accomplish
something that should be accounted as
good works I'm life which heretofore
has been more conspicuous for private
extravaganza than for public service.
SO his friends warmly congratulated
him on his election,
MISS GRANT RESPONSIBLE.
There Is no doubt that this salutary
change in Lord Essex has been brought
about by the influence OF mis- wife who
was formerly Miss Adela Grant, the
daughter of Beach Grant OF New York.
II Ia said that the title OF Countess
Of Essex has been borne invariably
by a beautiful woman. statement
that is abundantly substantated by
the ancient family portraits that adorn
the halls of the family seat at Cassio-
bury, I'm Hertfordshire, But the
American Lady Essex will compare
favorably with any OF her predecessors
among the chatelalnes Of the noble
house. At the coronation Of King Ed
ward she attracted great attention as
one OF the handsomest women in the
stately throng that filed Westminster

lures il enhanced by what has been
happily described as n magnolia tint
