A HEALTH MOVEMENT.

The American Red Cross, in CO.
operation with the Vanderbilt clinic
has established a day camp for
tuberculosis patients on the roof of
the Vanderbilt hospital, in New York
city, and after the first of October
patients will be cared for in the
elevated roof camp, which it is pro-
posed to keep open for them all the
year round. This enterprise was sug-
gested by the success of the day camp
undertakings of the Red Cross in
Schenectady, Wilmington, Washington
and other cities.
The open air day treatment of
consumptives was tried in New York
city last year by the Charity Organiza-
ton society, and by the Bellevue hos
pital. and day camps have also been
successfully conducted in other east
ern cities, notably Boston, which lays
claim to the distinction of making the
first philanthropic ventures of this
kind in the interest of the victims of
tuberculosis. These camps are now
recognized as important adjuncts of
popular effort for the subjugation of
1.-The great white plague"
AS explained by the promoter of the
| day camp idea, the roof and other day
camps occupy a position midway be-
! tween the dispensary with his host of
attendants and the sanitarium in the
far-off woods and hills. The former
| treats a maximum Of patients, while
the latter gives especial care to COM
paratively few. Those. who are re-
lieved in the day camps spend the
hours of daylight ain the open,'' and
then repair to their homes and follow
out the direction of the attendant
physicians as to open-air rest during
| the night and as to nourishment
which conforms to that received dur
| ing the day. In the day camps the
| patients are given eggs and milk, and
are employed mentally, so that they
will not fall into a morbid condition
This particular movement against
tuberculosis will doubtless accom-
plish much good in a relatively short
time. Day camps are comparatively
easy of establishment, and they
accommodate many patients at small
cost. The camps are multiplying rap
idly, and every center of population
will probably soon have one or more
camps on roofs or on other points OF
vantage for the open-air treatment OF
victims of tuberculosis, who can thus
be assisted while at the same time
they are kept within the cheering in
fiuences Of home life.

How Forest Fires Starr.

"These forest fires are more often
started by some one throwing down a
lives ashes from his pipe" said d.
Whitaker. when we were building
the extension from Champion to
iAnse, years ago, some of the boys
thought they would go down to Cham
pion for time. Coming back one of
them lit his pipe and threw the match
into the dry grass
Before that fire burned itself out it
had traversed a strip of territory so
miles long and five or six miles wide.
we lost hundreds of thousands or ties
by the fire, to say nothing of the tim
Der that was burned overall because
man was not careful where he threw
lighted match. When such fires
once get started they burn themselves
out; you can't stop them.
"And they play some queer freaks.
have seen great pine trees, standing
out alone in a little clearing 100 yards
or more from anything, and suddenly
the fire would jump out and a few
minutes later nothing would be left
of the tree but the trunk and SCARED
and burned limbs. I remember one
case of the kind where a handsome
big pine stood out alone. Suddenly
the flames seemed to gather them
selves into a big ball and burst over
veloping it in fire. 1t burned as
though it had been kiln dried.
Somehow the fire seems to take all
the sap out of the tree. That tree was
| completely destroyed in a short time,
the fire sweeping on and leaving it
| grotesque and blackened trunk where
| before was beautiful picture.
I'm the old days the Indians were
very careful Of fire. When they broke
camp in the morning. after going a
short distance, one of the band would
go back to see that there was no spark
unextinguished. If there was he
would put it out. If he did not re-
turn to the waiting band soon, two or
three others would go back, and If
there was any fire thew would help him
extinguish it.
''In that way forest fires were pre-
vented. Nowadays, with white camp
ers and picnickers going into the
woods and leaving without care
whether they leave sparks which may
cause a blaze or not, it is hard to pre-
serve the forests. I presume it was
som ething of that kind which started
the fires in that country up in British
Columbia. I know the country; It is
densely timbered, and a fire there will
mean the loss of hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars in standing timber, to
say nothing of the lives said to have
been lost milwaukee, Sentinel

as the distinctive flower in Kansas as

capitol square is surrounded by a
dense growth, rods in width, of ram
pant sunf1owers. They grow as big,
rank and yellow as If they were forty

! flower ought to be made the emblem

sunf1ower! Grasshoppers never have

arrangement with nature for securing

Probably the greatest lever in the
moving of things since mankind first
began is confidence.
There's David. in his old age, sing
ing that magnifcently egotistical
XIII Psalm, which begins with. "The
Lord is my shepherd; shall not
want" And here's a two-year old
child Of the twentieth century making
her first prayer, thus: Dear God.
Bless mother and father and sister
and me. Thank you
Ancient or modern, age or youth, it
is pretty much the same. Faith in a
higher goodness, trust in the right
means progress.
Old David sang of spiritual faith.
impervious to all that technical
science or captious reason could do
Civilization, human rights, progress
and happiness are the fruits. and the
inheritance is that innate confidence
of the baby of today whose first
prayer ends in thank you.'
"Thy rod and thy staff they COM
fort me-" said the aged child of CEN
turtles ago THANK you," says the
confident babe of today.
1t 10 the SNOlul1On VI
The "cranks" of this age, the men
who have given us anesthetics, steam
power, electrical marvels and the like
had confidence in their ideas and
worked on their thoughts night and
day. often derided, never fully appre-
ciated. That confidence was their life.
They held to it in the face of ridicule,
temporary failure and self-sacrif1ce of
every sort. They gave finally what
meant progress and blessings to the
whole world.
Material not less than spiritual adj
vancement depends on confidence.
Wherefore be it that, whether you
try to rule a nation or try to invent a
perfect safety pin, go at it with all
that's in you and with all kinds of
confidence in your ultimate success.

NEW BRITISH PATENT ACT.

A fact of real Importance to in
ventors and manufacturers is that Fri
day, August Is, was the expiration of
the year of grace allowed to foreigners
under the new British patent act and
that hereafter patents granted for the
United Kingdom may be revoked If the
patented article Is not manufactured
in Great Britain or the patented pro-
cess largely operated there.
In commenting on this matter the
New York Sun, which devotes a
column to the subject, says: CAS- a re-
suit of this legislation a great many
foreign manufacturers of patented ar
ticles have already started works on
British soil and many others are pre-
pairing as rapidly as possible to COM
ply with the law, in consequence OF
which it is estimated that at least
S125, 100000 in manufacturing interests
will be invested in the British Isles
The effect of the sudden investment oil
such a large capital in the industries
of the United Kingdom is obvious. II
win go a great way toward solving
temporarily, at least, the problem OF
the unemployed, and its effects on al
lines Of industry and commerce will
soon be apparent. Germany, America
and France will be specially affected
by the operation of the new law. and
probably in the order indicated"

sucker Gulped Down diamond.

Miss Marie A. Gross, a student of
the Heron Art institute, in In
dianapolis, lost a valuable diamond
ring Saturday, and it's disappearance
and return are remarkable. She was
a guest at the Hanly cottage at
Pottawatomie Point, on the Wabash
river, east of town, and with some
other girls, attired in bathing suits,
rowed to the middle Of the river to
battle. A friend suggested that she
remove the diamond ring which she
wore, stating that it might slip off in
the water. She removed the ring and
having no other place to put it, she
tied it to a piece of f1shline and fas-
tened the other end to the boat. Then
she jumped into the water. When
they rowed back to shore Miss Gross
could find neither string nor ring.
Yesterday while Frank Hanly was
out in the boat he saw string run
ming through a crack in the rear
board of the craft. He began to draw
in the string and there was the
answering tug. He pulled hard and
up out of the water came a pound
and-a-half sucker. Hanly had for
gotten about the ring and sought the
hook in the suckers mouth.
SWALLOWED the darned thingi" was
his Disguised ejaculation.
He cut the line and threw the fish
in the bottom of the boat. Later
when cleaning the fish he was sur
prised to find the missing ring inside
the sucker.-Logansport dispatch to
