HOW CoNsUMPTIvEs GET WELL

| 1t is truly an easy and enjoyable way oil
of getting well for any one who is q
lover of nature, for, as has been stated,
the main principle carried out is to get in
touch with that which is out of DOORS
to be amid trees, continually breathing
the air purified by natural processes, to
exercise and eat and sleep. if possible,
with the sky for canopy. The medi-
cal man OF the olden time would indeed
be shocked if he could visit one of these
places, to see so-called invalids hard at
work in the forests making their camps,
lolling about in. hammocks in summer
with heads uncovered, and lying muffled
in blankets and furs in the sunlight in
the dead of winter, with no shelter but
the blue sky above them. But these are
only some of the ways in which health
is sought. Patients who are able to stand
the exercise amuse themselves by clear
ing away the snow from the verandas in
the winter-even the women handling
the broom and shovel and enjoying it.
Coasting on the hilsides is another
strange recreation for those whom We
call consumptives encouraged at the
Massachusetts institutions. Physical cul-
ture is one of the requisites for those who
are able to attempt it, and daily a dozen
or score of patients, are Tut through the
simple movements, under the guidance of
perhaps one of their number or a men,
ber of the medical staff. The tent life is
part of the routine of the women in
summer as we'll as of the men, and it is
an actual fact that in Massachusetts, some
of the women have erected their own
camps for winter, decorating the walls
with posters and photographs, and con-
verting them into miniature clubhouses,
where they occupy themselves in CONVEX
sation, reading, sewing and various
games.
These camps are unique in many re-
spects. The buildings are composed of
but three sides, that facing the south be-
ing left open. They are simply sheds,
having floor to prevent the dampness
from the ground affecting the inmates.
Some forest trees are used for posts, and
the walls made of planks or boughs fas-
tened to them. If the temperature is too
low for comfort, it is moderated by the
use of>a. small stove, sometimes an open
fire. Draught is furnished by digging a
tunnell through the earth beneath the
shed, terminatinating in length of clay
pipe. When fire is started the air is
sucked through this conduit that keeps it
burning brightly. From 'The Outdoor
Treatment OF tuberculosis" by Day

Review of Reviews.

WANTS sH0RT-TERM MARRIAGES

This is the season for freak legislation
Legislatures of many States are in session,
and few Legislatures assemble without
numbering a freak or two among their
membership. The State of Kansas leads
the list in freakdom just now. A dis
patch from Topeka, the capital of the
State says:
The statement made by George Mere
dith, the famous English writer that
a short time marriages for life would go
out of vogue and give way to marriages
for limited period bids fair to find early
confirmation if the law proposed by State
Senator F. Dumont Smith of Kansas, al
lowing ten years marriages, is ratified by
the Legislature.
Senator Smith, who is leader in the
State Senate, announced to day that he
was drawing up a bill making ten years
marriages possible in this State. Asked
for more extended explanation he made
the following statement:
II propose to make it possible, for a
man and woman who are not certain that
they can live together forever, to marry
for limited period.
eff they find after a married life of, say
ten years, that they are not congenial, 1
can see no harm in permitting them to
separate, without the notoriety which ac-
companies proceedings in the divorce
courts.
"Such a law would make homes hap
pier. 1t would allow two persons to try
married life, and, upon finding that they
were untitled for the duties, to separate
and find other mates or lives single.
l have given the subject great deal of
thought since agitation of the question
started, and I have received several let
ters from each of the counties in my
senatorial district asking me to prepare
such measure.
A copy of the bill accompanies the dis
patch and it provides that couple can
marry under a ten-year contract; when
they separate there shall be an equal
division of all property accumulated, and
the courts shall decide as to the care and
rights of the children.

Held A GOOD
ROADS MEETING
Members of the New Castle
County Institute Discuss
the Subject
COMMITTEE TO VISIT DOVER

Members of the Farmers Institute met
in Newark Thursday morning, and in the
afternoon they and the members of the
recently organized Good Roads Assccia-
tion held joint conference. Both ses-
sions were held in Oratory Hall at Della
ware College, James H. Hossinger pre-
sided. There was large attendance.
At a meeting of the institute last win
ter committee had been appointed to
consider good roads in this county and
to draw up recommendations which.
would benefit the county. David c. Rose
submitted the following report:
NEWARK, DEL, Jan. 9th, 1905.
To the Farmers Institute of New Cas-
tie County,
Gentlemen:
At meeting of this Institute held last
February at Newark committee was ap-
pointed to ascertain the amount of money
collected and expended upon public roads
OF this county, and to recommend such
legislation as would tend to secure for the
taxpayers each year a larger return than
can be secured under the present methods
of working. This committee has held
several meetings during this year, but
has not been able to harmonize upon any
one plan of action. As the secretary of
said committee / therefore take the liberty
of giving my personal views on this
subject.

LINEUP OF A. A. TEAM

The lineup of next seasons Viii.
mington baseball club was announced Sat-
urday by President Alexander Stirlith,
ann judging by the past regulations of
some OF those signed the team will be a
top-notcher among independent baseball
organizations of this section of the coun-
try. Many of the stars of the Tri-State
League are among those in the list of
players. The lineup is as follows:
Joe Smith. catcher; ''Stony" McGlynn
and Joe Myers, pithers; John Bagley,
first base; Homer Porter. second base:
Tom Maher, short stop; Frank Eustace,
third base; Fred Clay, right field; Tommy
Campbell, centre field; Harry Billet,
left field; Tom Graham, general utility
man.
Of these Smith, Bagley, McGlynn,
Eustace, Clay and Billet upheld the re-
putation of last seasons Penn Park team
which won the Tri-State championship.
Porter is Wilmington player and gives
promise of being star. The other men
need no introduction to the "fans,"
while Graham, who halls from Connecti-
cut, has won for himself good record,
and Myers last season made great pitch
ing record, and he will be welcomed back
to Wilmington. (.
Mr.. Stirlith in selecting his players has
exercised great care and is determined to
give Wilmington the best possible in the
way of baseball, and the A. AIS will no
doubt be more literally patronized than
last season.

THE HELLO BOOK"

Undoubtedly the hardest book in the
world to edit, print and publish is the
telephone directory. To get out sin.
gle edition of two or three thousand
copies of novel or schoolbook, even
given plenty of time for painstaking
work, is regarded by publishers as great
undertaking, yet the telephone officials in
the large cities in the United States have
every three months to bring out simply
enormous, ever enlarging editions of
book that is subject to every conceivable
sort of change up to the very moment be-
fore it goes to press. The compilation is
one that must be as accurate as the most
carefully prepared text book and as
elastic in it's makeup as daily news
paper.
Naturally every precaution has to be
taken to secure the required freedom from
mistakes. The directories of the various
divisions of the Bell system are made up
at the headquarters of the different COM
panies from data that are turned in day
by day by the managers of the local ex-
changes. Greatest pains. OF course, must
be taken to avoid duplication of names
and mistakes in spelling and enumera-
ton. All the additions and change as
we'll as Withdrawals appear on the proof
sheets in red ink, and the average page
before it goes to the printer looks pretty
much as if serious fight had taken place
over it. In the case of the New York
Telephone company, where about 16, 900
new instruments are installed in single
period of ninety days and where there
are perhaps half as many discontinuances
or other changes, the book is subject to
something like 80, 1000 corrections.
Even after the page proofs have come
back to the chief of the cataloguing de.
partment, after most careful proofreading
and elimination of every discernible mis-
take, they are still liable up to the last |
minute to be filed up with the names of
lately enrolled subscribers. As curious.
result of the exigencies OF bookmaking
people whose names begin with the first |
letters of the alphabet stand less chance
of getting INTO the telephone directory at
the last minute than those whose names
begins with X, Y or q.
Once the book is on the press the press
men and binders work night and day to |
get it out on time. Nothing is allowed to |
interfere With the appearance Of the new
directory on the date for which iti sche-
duled.
