Help for tho Poor consumptIve.

The following appeal to philanthro-
pists, in the fifth revised edition of
the Illinois State Board of Health's
circular on the Causes and Prevention
OF tuberculosis, has attracted wide
attention:
Simple as may seem the directions
to the sufferer from consumption;
plain as may be the course by which
he may find health and may be given
new lease of life, 1t must be remem-
bered that there are, among the five
million people of the great state of
Illinois, hundreds of sufferers who
are unable to avail themselves of
even these simple means of cure.
Fresh air, sunlight, proper methods of
living and reasonable rest are not
available to the man who struggles
night and day for the mere necessar-
les OF life. The hard-worked woman
with helpless children depending upon
her must labor in the dark and dingy
sweatshop and live in the stuffy tene-
ment. although she may know that in
such surroundings consumption is
rapidly placing the mark of death
upon her. The poor consumptive
must live.
mo better opportunity for practi-
cal charity ever existed; no greater
privilege was ever offered than is
held out to him who would provide
the means for the poor consumptive
to regain his health and face the bat
tie for life and for existence on an
equal footing with his fellows. Those
who are giving fortunes for the ad-
vancement of education, of science, of
art and even of religion, will do we'll
to pause and consider If saving the
life of our fellow man and restoring
him to the helpless ones dependent
upon him is not nobler and better
thing than the elevation of culture to
its highest plane or the carrying of
learning to the natives of foreign
| shores"

infectious diseases among the resi-

NYENIION/
AND

Chimney to the Clouds.

OiittttSJ " hUC OiSb0os
New Yo-E is soou to have the odd
est amusement enterprise on the face
Of the earth, in the shape of tower
taller than any structure in the world
and equipped with a larger variety OF
combined entertainments and utili-
ties than anything that has ever ex-
listed for the edification of the mil
lions who are constantly and hungrily
seeking new pleasures.
Called "the Weber tower" after its
designer, Carl Weber, one of the best
known experts in the matter of tall
steel-concrete constructions, the build
ing will be unique in many ways, and
when it has been erected, either in
one of the parks of Manhattan or In
some equally prominent spot, will un-
questionably be one of the foremost
attractions of the metropolis.
In the first place it will reach the
enormous height of 1850 feet, just 25S
feet taller than the Eiffel tower in
Parts and more than twice as tall as
the Washington monument, which,
with 555 feet, is at present the highest
permanent structure in the world. 1t
will so far overtop everything in New
York that comparison is idle, the Park
Row building, which now holds pre-
eminence, being only 1882 feet high,
and the st. Paul building, ranking
second, having but 308 feet. In Eu'
rope, after the Eiffel tower, there is
only the Ulm cathedral, with 52S feet
but this is excelled by the city hall
in Philadelphia.
Height alone, however, will not be
the chief recommendation of the
Weber tower. 1t will be sky scrapeI
of universal invitation. If you are a
business man you will be able to rent
Offices inside the lean but lofty
stretches. If you want an evenings
frolic you will be escorted to the
highest roof garden in the world
LOO feet above the sidewalk, which
is so high that every other roof gar
den win look like pigmy patch o.
light without form or substance. 1
you are an astronomer you will FIND
all the paraphernalia for the study
of the heavens at such close range
that you will hardly need telescope
And above all there will be the neces
sary precautions to prevent you jump
ing off if you are one of those persons
who get that impulse whenever they
reach the top Of high place.

THOUSANDS OF LIVES SAVED
BY Mothers Medicine Chest" and
Patent Prescriptions.

Commenting on attacks made by
certain eastern publications on some
of the best known and most valuable
of the worlds proprietary medicines,
the Committee on Legislation of the
Proprietary Association says:
"All through the country districts,
in every state of the union, you will
find in the farm houses the old family
remedies, sometimes called patent
medicines, many of which have been
in use in the same household for gen.
erations, Among such people the old
fashioned proprietary medicine, al
ways at hand with full printed in
structions for use, is one of the neces-
stiles of life.
ITO families in the country many
miles from doctor such remedies are
Invaluable. Mothers medicine chest
has saved many a life and met many
a threatening sickness at the TIRES
hold and turned 1t out of doors. So
far from constituting self-prescription
as is often pretended, acquaintance
with patent medicine often obvi-
ates the necessity Of such a step; for
here is a prescription already made
up, the effect of which is well known.
One of the greatest advantages of
such medicine is that its constant for
mula gives it the character of a single
drug, so far as uniformity Of result is
concerned, and the people who use it
know from experience Just what they
can count on-which is more than can
be said of many physicians prescrip-
tons frequently obtained at a far
greater cost and trouble"

The Dress of Women.

The old Greeks had a proverb ex-
pressing their belief that the mother
should be strong and vigorous in or
der that the sons might be brave and
mighty in battle; accordingly, in the
palmiest days of Greece, laws existed
which required every woman to en-
gage in the practise of gymnastics and
to give minute attention to all the re-
quirements of hygienic laws not that
she might be able to enter contests
in the arena or to fight battles in de-
Tense of her country, but that her
sons might be victorious in all the
conflicts of life, in peace as well as in
war. To be the mother Of sons who
were noted for strength, vigor and en-
durance was the highest honor any
Grecian woman could enjoy
Do all mothers think of these things
when they treat their bodies very
much as they do a mass of dough in
making bread molding it into such
shape as may happen to suit the fancy
of the reigning queen Of fashion, with
out considering that the artificial
shape produced may be in the highest
degree incompatible with the physical
health and couduce to no small extent
to the constitutional feebleness which
their unborn sons and daughters must
hereafter endure?
Babies are simply buds; hence they
must share the character of the par
ent stock. A weak-waisted mother
transmits to her son. or daughter a
! predisposition to kindred feebleness
| of structure. The mother whose liver
and stomach are so carried out of
place that they cannot perform their
! functions in a proper manner, If the
does not actually transmit to her sons
and daughters displacement of the
stomach and liver, gives to them
predisposition to deformities of this
sort.
That large responsibility rests
upon women because of their neglect
to care for their bodies, and because
of the homage they pay to fashion,
cannot be doubted The woman who
starts out in good earnest to learn to
live one hundred years, and who de-
sires that her sons and daughters
shall follow her in such a laudable I'M
dertaSing, will certainly give this mat
ter the careful consideration which
! will lead her to take her stand with
thousands of other intelligent women
who have declared their emancipation
from the tyrannous letters of fashion
and who believe it their inalienable
right to accept what civilization has
so long denied them-the God-given
freedom to breathe and move without
restraint.
