Home Consumption Nurses.

Commissioner of Health Dixon of
PENNSYLVANIA has inaugurated a cam
paign against tuberculosis involving
house-to-house inspection and instruction
by visiting nurses, who will go to the
home Of every person applying to the
State Dispensary for treatment. 1t will
be the duty of the visiting nurses to in
struct the patient and the patients fam
lily how to obtain the requisite amount of
fresh air, the most desirable foods, and
how to conduct themselves so as to avoid
Infection Every member of a household
in which a consumptive lives will be in
spected, and where there is a sign of ill
health the suspected person will be per-
suaded to adopt precautionary measures.
In this way it is hoped the State will
be able to check the spread Of 'the great
white plague" by discovering hundreds
of cases in the early stages when a cure
is probable. The difficulty which has
been experienced in sanitarium work
heretofore is that cases are not reached
until they are too far advanced to be

this idea is and effectual In curbins

A man in Pugwash, Me-, has hit upon
an idea so like that Of the New Egypt
man that they might almost pass for

All the scale of blues seems to be
favored at present, old blue, royal blue,
peacock, pastel and Natter; those espe-
cially are the mode and are replacing

When Shopping.

Make a list of needed things and adj
here to it.
Decide exactly what you want to buy,
color, quality and price you can pay.
Be amiable to the clerk. She is a
human being and not machine. She
will reward you by kindness and atten-
tion.
Order what you want pleasantly, but
very decisiyely, leaving no room for an
overpersuasiye clerk to inveigle you
into buying what you do not want.
Know exactly what you want and take
nothing else.
Shop in the morning while you are
fresh, besides avoiding the crowded
stores and cars of later hours. You
will notice that you remain fresh, and
the homework you leave in order to
go early looks a mere trifie upon your
return.
Count your cash and plan to make
at cover all necessaries. If you must
economiZe, study the art of doing with
out unnecessaries Buying a few things
that are actually needed gives far more
satisfaction than the accumulation OF
oceans of superfluous things.

The New Egypt hen is set up on the

side Of the hen goes at a slower pace
than the other, which has the effect of
producinga curvature in her locomotion.
In other words, this hen, starting for

teriously shunted aside When she
thinks she has arrived at the garden
she is most nightly mistaken, for she

To Girls About to Marry.

The chances of girl making a good
wife depend entirely upon herself 1t
takes force Of character to love deeply
and to be worthy of deep love. What
ever the amount of love meted out to
good husband, he will return it with
just equal zeal, and will study his
wife's interest with the greatest care
and thought
Those of US who, by force of circum-
stance, are obliged to work for our Ily-
ing, have brains enough to appreciate
a good man and a pretty home when
such delightful links Of happiness come
our way. Money gained by the toll Of
our hands is a splendid thing; it is ex-
cellent training in any way. A hard
earned salary is a delight, especially
If by the making of it we help to keep
others as well as ourselves. We We're
not put into this world to drift. We
are here to work-to fill the appointed
places which have been allotted us.
Work is part of our portion here,
part of the Divine scheme. When we
think about marrying We must not give
up work just because we shall expect
our dear chosen partner to keep the
little home together.
The girl who really loves, and has
had to scrape together hard-earned
wages, will appreciate the JOY and
beauty of a quiet, calm, domestic life.
When she sees the image of her own
bright young beauty growing up around
her, hears the pattering of little feet
and the sweet childish voices, she will
be thankful she once worked for her
own living, which gave her so excel
lent training for being a wife and a
mother

DOnt's for the Hostess.

Don't invite more guests than you
can seat comfortably at your table. A
space of two feet should be allowed for
each person.
Don't send your plate away, or ap-
pear to have done eating, till your
guests have all finished.
Don't discuss politics or religious
matters unless you know your guests
are all in sympathy with you.
Don't notice ii your guests drink wa
ter. They may or may not be teeto-
talers from principle, but in any case
they drink what they like and prefer to
do so without attracting attention.
Don't press your guests to take more
or to partake of any special kind of
food They know they are welcome to
all they want, and such pressing is en-
barraSSing.

For the guidance of the tired woman
there are these six rules:
Lie in bed in the morning until you
wake up Of your own accord.
Put on loose clothing and If possible
change it completely in the middle of

Don't suit bolt upright if you can help
it. Select chairs with restful backs and
try to favor yourself a little.
Coddle your nerves also; don't listen
to narrowing stories and don't allow
Yourself to become disturbed. Above
all things don't worry.
Try to rest your eyeSight and don't
read before breakfast nor directly after
n meal
