FOR lNVALlD'S COMFORT.
Fancy Pillow to Match Lap-Robe
May Be Placed on the Couch
Flowers a Boon.

One pillow should have on a fresh
linen cover-the one that will be direct
ly against the patients face-the other
nillows NAV be covered with attractive
materials, all different, but of the same
shade as the lap robe, and mos OF them
of solid colors, and only one or two OF
lowered or designed material. ms Is
taking it for granted that the patient
can be propped up.
The patient herself should have her
hair dressed comfortably and becoming
ly. not too invalidish. She should nave
on warm garments if it is old weather,
so as to be independent of cool rooms, p
door left open, or a window dow from
the top. 1t is more convenient and more
satisfactory to put on her warm long
union suit, coming down to the ankle, q
soft unstarched petticoat, or a gown
made of outing flannel, as these are cas-
lily washed and can often be changed
On top of that, a dainty dressing sack
which should also be in harmony with
the coloring of the lap robe and pillows.
With a vase nea by containing a hall
dozen flowers, if your patient has an
artistic temperament, she will feel ten
per cent. better. 90 per cent. happier
and almost satisfied with life as she
must accept it.
Have near her a little table containing
her books, pencils and paper, a glass o
water. and any other accessories she
may wish. You will often find a chronic
patient of this kind happier than the
we'll people around her.
1t seems a planning of nature that the
helpless and incurable patients are tho
happiest, and any little attention OF
courtesy gives .hem as much pleasure
or more, as a large and unusual event
will give a well person. Usually the
chronic invalid in the house is the fay
orite of the family, the most lovable one
the one that gets and gives the mos
sympathy. They are always intereste'
in the ones around them. and are more
alive to the sentiment of life and ar
therefore sympathetic listeners to thu
condolences of the rest of the family.
Their chief charm seems to be in the
pleasure they get out of the small thing.
of life.

TO OPEN TAX BOOKS.

The tax books will be opened on
Monday next and the city's assess
ments on taxes against real and per-
sonal property will be made public.
The annual process of swearing off
will begin at the same time. The
books are kept open for that purpose
until March 81, and any one who
feels himself a~ggrieved has the right
before the last named date to swear
Off" Last year the assessments or
personal property amounted to 49,
630,G74,671. When the process of
swcaring off had been completed the
total had shrunk to $690,571,9 26.
President Frank A. O'Donnel, of
the Tax Board, estimates the total
increase in real estate assessments at
$5.250,000, 600, as against $4,937,-
37S,39G last year. To this sum
must be added about 250,000,0 600,
the estimate for taxation of the fran

5essment as real estate. If these
figures are correct the city's borrow

COMMITTEES CAUSE COMMENT.

President Tifft's new assignments
of commissioners to committees of
the Board of Education have caused
considerable comment, and numerous
constructions have been put upon the
changes. The new assignments were
made necessary by the failure of
Mayor Mcclellan to reappoint all the
commissioners whose terms expired
on January /, and will hold only I'M
til the reorganization of the board in
February. In making assignments,
President Tiff has followed the pre-
cedent. in nearly every instance, of
assigning new ap%pointees to the COM
of which their predecessors
were members. Where chairman
ships were involved it was necessary
to appoint men who had seen service
in the board. Precedent was not
followed by President Tiff in cases
where, in his opinion, the schools
would be benefited by a change.

NOT REACHED HERE YET.

AS yet The labor troubles have not
seriously interferred with the con-
struction of new school buildings.
A strike of the iron men has tied up
the iron work on ten schools, but it
is hoped that an agreement will be
reached shortly. This strike has not
tied up all the work on the schools;
in fact, men are at work on all build
ings in course of construction.
Strikes of large proportions would
be serious just at the present time,
for the reason that more buildings
are under contract TO- than for some
time. Nearly seventy new buildings
and additions, all urgently needed,
are being erected.

INCREASE IN ASSESSMENT.

According to estimates made by
the tax commissioners. there will be
. large increase in real estate assess
ments this year. AS the city is re-
CURED by law to appropriate for the
general school fund three mills on
every dollar of assessed valuation
such increase e IA large school
appropriation for 1907. The in
crease in real estate assessments is
estimate at $250,000.0 00 and this
would mean an increase in the school
fund of $780, 900. Estimates of the
personal assessment are practically
worthless as so large a proportion is
sworn off.
