Plans for . Quarantine Against Csnsump-
tIyes-Tent Colonies

AUSTIN, Tex. August 3.-Dr. W. M.
Brumby, State Health Officer. is working
out the details of his plans for debarring
from Texas all persons who are afflicted with
tuberculosis in an advanced stage. The
system will involve the establishment Of
quarantine camps at many points and a
method OF train inspection.
1t is asserted by DIR. Brumby and many
other physicians OF the State that the con-
slant influx OF consumptives into Texas
imperils the health Of the people here.
Most OF the health seekers go into the south
western part Of the State. where the air is
dry and nvigorating and the winter climate
mild.
Thousands of them flock into San Antonio
and FL Paso every winter. The INDECENT
ones have to be cared for by the county or
city.
In addition to quarantining against per-
sons who are afflicted with tuberculosis in
an advanced stage the State health authori-
ties contemplate adopting some plan by
which those who are in an incipient stage
OF the disease may be kept out Of the larger
cities and towns and placed in colonies or
upon ranches. In this way the patient will
be able to receive the full benefits OF the
climate.
There are many tent colonies Of consump-
tives in the San Antonio territory. There
can be no doubt about the curative quail
ties of that method of living.
Some Of these colonies are located in the
hilly region northwest OF San Antonio, where
the natural beauties Of the country are made
still more enjoyable by the abundant fish
inp which the rivers afford and the game
found ne ar the camp. Some of these col
onies are conducted on the cooperative
plan.

Just smiled indulgently and wondered
when the real race would start.
Things finally got 80 bad that Jim Timoney
had 10 make u call on Marty's teacher,
Mrs Weston. in the old frame schoolhouse

Marty's mother paid penny a day for-his

Also 10 was fine to follow through the
streets the first Chinaman that the boys of
1914 had ever seen, and tell him In a loud
voice what one thought OF him. And when
night fell and the little oil lamps that hung
from crossbars at some OF the corners we're
lighted, only to make the streets look
blacker, Marty and Tomme Curry and
Dad Rice and Billy Dslson and the rest Of
% Engine gang could always gather to
play the delirious game called How many
miles?" A game OF this tempting sport
lasted a whole evening because the pack
often had to chase the wolf far up to place
north of the last of the Bowery tree trunks.
Then when the tired little wolf, his legs
sore and his voice strained from yelling
"Eeeyow!' like a real wolf so that the pack
might have a scent to follow through the
dark, came to a spot where candles and
lamps sputtered within scattered black
houses that stood on grassy terraces, he
knew 1t was time to go back home and get
his licking from mother. For the grassy
banks told him he was on Fourteenth street,
and Marty says that all mothers thought
then that "their boys shouldn't go such
hell Of way uptown" at night. Accord
ing TO Billy Dalson, who Is now ~, Marty
Reese was the star hunter of tho pack,
but Marty insists modestly that Billy only
says that out OF good nature and because
in Billy's eyes Marty is such kid.
It's too bad that the little boys and girls
can't have any fun in New York now
Marty Kccsc regrets. But once upon time
Manhattan was a fairyland, for the sun

! NEW LABOR Law IN CANADA.
object OF the Industrial Disputes hnvesti-
cation Act.

There are three stages in the history Of
labor legislation In Canada. writes the
Canadian Minister Of Labor in General
Arbitration. There is, first, the conciltation
act OF 1902, which has always devised a
common ground on which both parties
could meet and settle their differences.
We have next the railway labor disputes
act. and think every one will admit that
that act, with it's feature OF compulsory
Investigation, has prevented any strike
taking place In Canada. -,
Now, IL the disputes are settled through
the Cancellation act after strike or lock-
out has taken place, why should we not
hope that the legislation we are now enact
ing will settle disputes before a strike takes
place and before the bitterness engendered
by IL has arisenl

WOman'S Club.
Mr.. Hill Addresses the November Meet
ing on Church Federation.

| ing UA NhuACA ANuSldtAOAs
At the business meeting of thu
Woman's Club, Monday afternoon, three
new members were announced: Mrs
Fred c. Beck, Mrs. Annette Ramsay
and Mrs. Sidney P. Page. The president
called attention to the newly accepted
official organ of the Federation, The
Federation Bulletin, and appointed the
following committee to interest the club
members in its subscription list: Miss
Margaret ROBBIE, Mrs. H. F. Balch, Mrs.
G. F. Cheney. This committee will be
pleased to receive subscriptions to this
magazine, and urge the club members to
interest themselves in it. Reports were
given of the meeting of the Federation
at Windsor. Miss Margaret ROBBIE has
been appointed corresponding secretary
of the Federation. The reports were
followed by selection by the Donna
orchestra.
The program was in charge of the
social science committee, Mrs. Freelove
Spaulding, chairman, who introduced
Rev. George W. c. Hill as the speaker.
His subject was "The Advantages Of
Union Movements in Small Com
munitles,' and after humorous intro
duction he gave many interesting facts
favorable and unfavorable to church
unity. He said that closer religious
union in small communities prevents
large expenditure of money, a waste
of energy and nervous force and
often times loss of appreciation
of the true end of religious work.
Such union would allow a stronger
impression to be made, practically and
spiritually and usually large gain in
equipment, and would prove saving in
the respect of every one in the end and
aim of all religious work.
Some of the disadvantages are the lack
of any strong organization back of
q NAiOh SuulSH3 d lOSS vi InlSSlOudTy
interest, and loss of fellowship with
other church organizations, which is a
very delightful feature and vital one.
There are many difficulties in the way of
union movements, such as disposal of
church property giving up of customs to
which we have been used, and inherited
church traditions.
MIR. Hill said that very little is done
towards the union movement, and that
while relatively speaking church power
and authority are waning, business
methods and standards are being swiftly
raised. Newspapers and magazines are
preaching ethics and religion, as are also
prominent individuals, and he thinks the
world on the whole is rising and coming
to its own. He gave an interesting
account of how so many denominations
came into existence, their principal basis
being in the temperaments of individuals.
His address was greatly enjoyed by one
of the largest meetings Of the year.
Miss Maud E. Follensby gave a very
pleasing vocal selection, "a Boat Song"
accompanied by Miss Alice B. Warden,
and the Donna Orchestra gave closing
selection. This orchestra is composed of
young ladies who are all very efficient
and their selections were
much enjoyed.
