nese wheelbarrow, on the other hand,
has been adopted TO a considerable ex-
tent in this country alrendy. and its
use is gradually spreading. II is said
to have a number of advantages not
possessed by our own barrows. The
tray of the wheelbarrow is round in
form. having boveled tongue and
grooved slaves held firmly together by
round hoops, which are sunk into
grooves which are cut in the slaves
diagonaliy tod prevent the hoops get
ting out of place. The hoops are also
provided with compression springs at
their ends. which makes an elastic
hoop. connected so that when the tray
is made the spring is compressed. The
springs act automatically. and their
purpose is tho overcoming of any
shrinkagc or expenslon that may oc-
cur after the tray is made. This style
of barrow carries the load in more
compact form near the wheel with
less weight at the handles, and admits
OF the contents being dumped either
at the front or sides.

FRESH AIR FOR CONSERVATIVES 5
Most Effective Weapon Available for Conflict
With Dreaded white Plague

sThe following abstracts from an ar
ticie by J. E. Stubbert. NJ. D.. in the
Medical Record, should receive wide
and careful attention. No doubt IL
1hese ideas could be carried out, the
''white plague" would be robbed of
much of its terror:
In ancient times It was highly i'm
proper to expose a tuberculous pa
tient, especially one beyond the first
stage, to a breath of fresh air except
on the mildest days in summer. while
the night air was dreaded and avoided
as the plague. Then the more observ-
ant and thoughtful men noticed that
those who lived more in the open air
did not die as quickly as the dollhouse
patients. and they began to urge an
outdoor life and moderate exercise
as prophylactic as well as a cure
for those in the early stages of con-
sumption. Those in the more advanc-
ed stages were allowed fresh air only
when 1t was at summer temperature,
but even this was better than being
Kept indoors in warm, illventilated
eooms the whole year.
There are several plans by which
The. victim of tuberculosis may con-
tinuously breathe pure. fresh air by
night as well as by day. Sleeping out
lin the open air is not harmful to
large majority CT tuberculous people.
Millet, of Brockton. Mass, reports
the cases of five patients whom he
recommended to sleep out of doors at
night They were allowed no roof
thaf, In fnN
weather. They wore soft felt hats
and cotton nightshirts, sleeping under
ordinary bedclothes in beds arranged
on the roofs of their houses. Inn
provement was noted in two weeks.
Coughs disappeared, temperatures be-
came normal. respirations were easier
and weight increased rapidly. No at
tention was paid to dampness and
drafts, and heavy dews were regarded
as inconvenient simply because of the
necessity of drying the bedclothes.
Sleeping in a small room with an
open window does not appear to be
nearly so beneficial to the patient as
when the nights are passed on ver-
anda or in tent where there is a
free circulation of air on all sides. II
a patient were fortunate enough to
have a large room with a southern ex-
posure and containing one or two
open fireplaces. in addition to large
windows on three sides, which might
be opened at night. he might derive
approximately the benefit incident to
tent life.
McGraham, of South Carolina, pre-
fers the circular to the army tent, and
thinks it better to place it on a plat
form two feet from the ground. and
to do without carpets and draperies.
Draperies are not necessary. but rugs
add greatly to the comfort and con-
venience of those in i'll health, and
their use can be made perfectly safe
by exposing them to the sunlight for
a few hours daily.

hundred years ago the city of
Naples, Italy, erected large hospital
for consumptives, and required the
isolation of all persons suffering from
mis- disease. 1t is only recently, how
ever, that the authorities of modern
cities have become awakened to the
Importance of this sanitary measure.
Recently a number of cities have
taken steps for the establishment of
hospitals especially for the treatment
of cases of consumption by the so
called "open-air method" Excellent
results are reported from this method
of treatment.
The German government has a
large central committee numbering
more than thirteen hundred persons,
organized for the purpose CT erecting
hospitals for the treatment of tuber-
culosis This committee has under it's
supervision seventy-four such kospi-
tails, and last year treated over thirty
thousand patients, of whom eighty per
cent were returned to their homes
practically cured after remaining il
the hospitals on an average of little
less than three months.

can be kindled by loyalty to race. Even
in Great Britain and Ireland races are so
mixed. and there are such differences of

IriShmen have borne that flag in the front

MADE OF PAPER.
Textile Fabrics That Are Warm and
May Be Washed.

From the Scientific American
Garments made of paper have long been
used in eastern ASIA but only in default
Of other clothing or on special occasions
In western countries the only articles of
dress made of paper, until recently, were
collars cuffs and shirt bOsoms, that Is TO
say, articles which are usually starched
Now, however, numerous inventors are en-
deavoring to introduce woven paper fabrics
Some time ago an Italian, Prof. Zanetti
devised method of making fine and strong
yarns by twisting very thin silk paper, cut
into strips about one-tenth of an inch wide
AS yet these yarns are used only for wicks
of candles and in the manufacture of
incandescent gas manties
A greater advance has been made In Sax
ony. Here, also, narrow strips of paper
are spun, by process patented by Claviez
6. Co. Paper and cotton are also spun to-
gether, so that in the finished yarn the
paper envelopes the cotton. These yarns
are used as filters in conjunction with cot
ton warp, in weaving drillings suitable for
toWelingS and summer WalStcOatS, trousers
and skirts.
Heavier and warmer cloth is made by
combining paper and wooden yarns. The
fabric is crea -colored and may be washed
repeatedly without injuring the surface. 1t
Is well adapted for tennis and lounging
suits. Sufficient cloth for a jacket, waist
coat and trousers cost only ten marks, or
s.. 50 and still cheaper garments are made
for laborers. This new product is named
xyloln.
For such use, however, raw materials
even cheaper than finished paper are
sought Spinning mill refuse consisting of
very short, smooth fibers that cannot be
spun. goes, as rule, to the paper mills.
Many attempts to utilize this material have
been made in spinning mills, and expert
ments in spinning it wet suggested the Idea
of further comminuting the short fibers In
paper machines. In this way thin flbrous
paste was produced. This. when poured on
sleeves, yielded a thin, soft paper which.
partially dried and cut into narrow strips,
could be spun into yarn. Other cheap paper
stock including wood pulp, can be convert
ed into yarn by similar process, and SO
spinning and paper making meet.
One brand of these cellulose, or wood
pulp warns is called silvalin. During the
la st ten years many similar processes have
been patented. The manufacture Is still In
the experimental stage, but definite prog
ress has been made and the industry has
a promising future before it.
Resistance to the action of water Is an
other important quality in which fabrics

different from a ''neurotic" one. Shakes

The Mystery Solved.
THE REASON FOR THE RUIN OF MUCH
COMPLICATED MACHINERY.

Man has often been compared 10
a complicated piece of mechanism.
He is a wonderful piece of machin
cry, more wonderful than anything
he has ever been able to create, and
he has created some remarkable
things. And yet man, the machine,
is different from any other machine.
An engine, for instance, requires
power to drive it. There must usual
ly be a boiler in which may be gen
Grated the necessary steam to start
the engine and keep it going. Man
combines within himself the engine
and the boiler in one. The stoltcr
must keep his boiler fires free from
clinkers and ashes, and the engineer
must keep his engine clean and its
parts we'll oiled. So it is with that
human engine and boiler. 1t, too,
must be kept free from the accu-
mutation of waste matter and must
be cleansed and oiled in all its parts
or else there will be rupture OF
some OF the delicate adjustments.
If assimilation be not good then
the fires do not burn freely, there
are ashes and clinkers in the sys-
TEN. In which case the effort to
do the work required of the human
engine, the heart overworks, the
liver and kidneys are put under
great strain, the bowels become
clogged. Alcoholic drinks and med
icines are harmful because they act
on the food to render it less digesti
bic. 1t is easily proved, for piece
OF beef If soaked in alcohol a Jew
hours becomes hard and tough.
Test a medicine by adding it to the
clear white OF an egg. If it instantly
coagulates the proof that it is an
alcoholic compound is shown and is
transformed into hard albumen and
drops to the bottom. The result Of
taking an alcoholic tonic is that ami
NAL food in contact with it remains
undigested. The person is then fill
ing his piece OF human machinery
with waste matter. He clogs the
blood and the nerves, and the heart
and the kidneys, and the liver and
the bowels. He then wonders why
the old machine does not work well.
