Home Consumption Nurxc..

Commissioner of Health Dixon OF
Pennsylvania has inaugurated a carnr
paign against tuberculosis involving ~
house-to-house inspection and instruction
by visiting nurses, who viii go to the
home of every person applying TO the
State Dispensary for treatment 1t wills
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, ana
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 sign Of I'D
health the suspected person will be per-
suaded to adopt precautionary measures
In this way it is hoped the State wills
be able to check the spread Of the great
white plague" by discovering hundreds
OF cases in the early stages when 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
susceptible of cure.

THE HOMESTEAD.

Girt all about with fence of white
The low-roofed cottage stands;
There, stretching far, are banks Of green,
And yon are fallow lands.
Skyward at eve the swift bird wings
Along Its melted way;
There, stars of love look down by night,
A sun Of love by day.
Unchanged the wild and singing woods;
The glad brook dances still;
And echoes as of yore ring out
The music of the hill.
And where we played the violet grows;
The trout leaps in the stream;
And just as fair as long ago

The chances of girl making 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 melted out to a
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 liv-
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-
earned salary is a delight, especially
II by the making of it we help to keep
others as well as ourselves. We were
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 grape together hard-earned
wages, VIII appreciate the joy and
beauty of 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 wife and a
mother.
