How to Earn scuna Sleep.

All doctors are not so careful OF
the welfare of their patients as they
might be. Here IS story of one VINO
went to the limit He is the proprie-
tor Of a famous health resort not far
from --. When he receives pa
tient for treatment he says:
Now, | want it understood that TN.
less you do exactly as say, there is
no use Of your staying"
This rule sometimes requires him to
be very harsh, but he never hesitates.
He acts on the theory that he can bet
ter afford to offend a single patient
and lose him that to have that pa
tient so back home and tell his friends
DR. So-and-So had done him no good,
relates the Washington Star.
Not long ago well-known clergy
man went to this resort for treatment.
The doctor looked him over upon his
arrival and said:
While you are here you must take
long walks every day"
But | can't take walks" replied
the parson. Il haven't done any walk

it" '..
They argued the question quite
warmly. AS the clergyman and doc
tor were good friends. the latter was
more lenient than usual. However,
he bided his time. The next after
noon the physician said to the clergy
man:
cts nice day. would like you
to so horseback riding with me-"
Riding they went. When they were
about eight miles from the sanitarium
the physician said: "Oh, doctor, won't
you get me that flower by the road
side? don't like to leave this
hCrse."
AS soon as the clergyman was on
the ground tie doctor galloped off
with both horses, and the clergyman
was compelled to walk back to the
sanitarium. Upon his arrived he was
very angry, and was for packing up
and leaving at once. There Was nc
train that night, SO he was forced &c
stay few hours longer. The next
morning he came down radiant and
good natured.
Doctor" said he, Il was pretty
sore at you last night, but I forgive
everything. ] have had the first good

after I'll obey YOUR order implicitly"

s FRESH AIR FOR CONSERVATIVES 5
) Most Effective Weapon Available for Conflict 1
{ With Dreaded white Plague"

The following abstracts from an ar

The following abstracts from an ar
tlcle by j. E. Stubbert. M. D.. in the
Medical Record, should receive wide
and careful attention. No doubt IL
these ideas could be carried out, the
white plague" would re robbed Of
much Of it's terror:
In ancient times it was highly inn
proper to expose a tubcrculous pa
tent, especially one beyond the first
stage, to breath of fresh air except
on the mildest days in summer, while
he night air was dreaded and avoided
as the plague Then the more obsery-
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 ard moderate exercise
as a prophylactic as well as 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, illVentllated
rooms 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
in the open air is not harmful to a
large majority of 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
over their heads except in rainy
weather. They wore soft felt hats
and cotton nightshirts, sleeping under
ordinary bedclothes in beds arranged
on the roofs of their houses. I'M
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 bedclothe.s.
Sleeping in small room with an
open window does not appear to be
nearly so beneficial to the patient as
when the nights are passed on YER
anda or in a tent where there is
free circulation of air on all sides. IL
a patient were fortunate enough TO
have large room with a southern ex-
posture 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
few hours daily.

aches. skin disorders and alternate con.
stipation and diarrhea with such per-
sons. Pimples are natural result Of
such depraved blood conditions.
With many people the habit OF
hearty eating is continued when the
warm spring days come. Food which
was appropriate when the thermomet-
er was at zero is continued in the
same quality and quantity when tho
therm ometer rises to ninety degrees
in TIE sun, and averages above sixty
all day and night. The person who
loses his appetite under such condi-
ton is on safe ground. The person
with an extra good appetite will haze

on the retired list to learn wisdom by

Special Hospitals for consumptives

Special Hospitals for Consumptives.
A hundred years ago the city of
Naples. Italy, erected a large hospital
for consumptives, and required the
isolation of all persons suffering from
this 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 hospi-
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.

To Color Lace.

In the present demand for trim
mings and vari-colored laces anyone
who has had even a small experience
in handling a brush can paint her
cheap lace into an excellent imitation
OF an expensive variety, providing
that she uses a little judgment in her
effort. Too many colors spoil the eff
feet; but with the flowers painted
delicate pink and the tiny leaves
green, very charming trimming is
the result. lace is the salvation OF
many 'madeove frock, and an old
family lace fichu, or a collarette of
point lace, or even a lace flounce, can
be utilized to better advantage this
year than ever before.

Use for Peacock Feathers.

If there are yet women who think
that the superstition about wearing
peacock feathers is still ingrained
In the minds of their sex, let them
take a stroll up Fifth avenue or
through the park some fine morning
when the up-tO-date woman is out ex-
ercising her dog or her baby, and
their minds will be disabused of the
notion, says a New York newspaper.
For morning wear it has become a
lad to have bunch of peacock feath-
ers stuck jauntily through the band
of a soft felt fedora hat. Glowing
checks and the rich blue-green CT the
feathers make charming contrasts and
the effect is extremely chic.
