The Tuberculosis HOSPITAL.

Experts in hospital construction have
pronounced the new tuberculosis hospital
just opened an adjunct to the munich
pal government to be in every respect a
model equipment. This Is gratifying, the
more particularly as the District has
waited a long time for such an institu-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that the man
agement of the hospital will be OF a
character to win equally high praise from
those qualified to speak concerning such
matters. Judging from the appoint
ments made, the Commissioners have in
sured such an organization.
1t is important at every stage Of the
Districts development as a municipality
to insist upon only the best for WASH
ington The tendency formerly was to
let the capital community progress from
hand to mouth as a federal ward entitled
only to the leavings from the national
table. In the earlier years of the Dis
trict's history this was particularly true,
until Washington became the laughing
stock of foreigners and an object of
chagrn on the part of intelligent Ameri-
! cans. 1t has only been within the last
| two or three decades that genuine prog
! ress has been scored in the evolution
| of high-class. effective municipal or
ganization representing the highest type
of American citizenship and bespeaking
the most effective capacity of our people
for government.
This municipal tuberculosis hospital
stands for a distinct advance in the re-
| lations of the city government to the
| population. 1t betokens the recognition
that tuberculosis is preventable and, in
large measure durable disease. 1t stands
for the most humane concept Of duty
of government toward the people in the
matter of physical ailments. No longer
is the sufferer from tuberculosis consid-
cred as merely an unfortunate doomed to
ultimate dissolution by the disease which
has seized him. He is regarded as wor-
| thy OF the most painstaking attentions by
| highly trained specialists in the cure of
| this particular affection. He is also re-
garded as potential center of infection,
and far-reaching educational processes
have been set in motion to prevent as far
as possible the dissemination OF the dis
ease principle. from such sources.

Outings for the Poor.

In midwinter comes the call of charity
for funds to provide the poor. with
the necessaries of life. clothing and fuel.
food and even shelter. Washington al
ways responds literally to this requsition
and gives promptly when the occasion
arises In midsummer another appeal Is
heard, and in equally insistent tones. 1t
is just as important that the women and
children of the poor be taken into con-
sideration by the eharitably inclined when
the temperature is high as when 1t Is
low. Life In the habitations of the poor
is exceedingly difficult when the Their
mometer ranges between ninety and a
hundred degrees. Even the children of
welltO-do parents have a hard time liv-
ing in such circumstances. and down In
the lower ranges of society the chances
are heavily against the little ones.
Washington. in common with all other
cities that have approached the charity
problem in a wise spirit of construction
and prevention. has organized a system
of sending women and children into the
country for short periods each season.
giving them true vacations, and enabling
them to withstand the summer terrors
and dangers more successfully. 1t Is
only necessary to watch a group of chill
dren and women at one of these summer
| camps in order to appreciate the great
benefit that is bestowed by a small ex-
penditure. 1t is estimated that s. will
give baby a weeks outing amid the
fresh air and helpful surroundings Of the
country. That may save the life of the
child. 1t is known that many lives have
been saved here by this means The
question, therefore, comes sQuarely before
the people of Washington whether the
little ones worth succoring at the
rate of 50 apiece
Here is an opportunity where every
giver to a fund can see almost with his
own eyes the physical. tangible results
of his charity. So we'll organized is the
work, SO close are the calculations, that
1t is possible to give value in terms
of human life for every check sent
to the treasurer of the outings fund.
There is no room for 'skepticism as to re-
suits in this work. The doubter who de-
| mands proof has but to go into the
poorer districts and hear the talk of
| the women and children who know about
the country charity and who live in
expectation OF being chosen for the
privilege or after the experience in
| joyous recollection Of their adventure.
Much has been done for the little folks
of Washington this summer by giving
them Fairgrounds but there are many
hundreds of infants for whom the ONLY
playground to be considered is the grea,
open space of the country and this they
cannot have unless the benevolent peonle
| of the District maintain the funds that
are so we'll administered for this DUR
pose.

SOME BAD CHECKS

Fairfield. September s.-(SpeciaD--1
Cashing worthless checks within
the shadow of the bank upon which
they were drawn, man giving his
name as w. N. Boone and his residence
as Chicago. practiced one of the
oldest receptions that has been
known in Fairfield for years. There
were two Of the checks. each on the
First National bank and each signed
by himself.
The first transaction was performed
at M. H. Cuddy's clothing store. where
he purchased a complete outfit Of
clothing, rendering in payment a SCI
check. 1t was accepted and a short
time later Boone entered the store to
show the salesman how well his new
clothes, fitted. Jokingly he asked il
the check was good, and was told 1t
had not yet been taken to the bank.
In payment for room and two
meals at the Leggett house he offered
q $40 piece of paper and received the
balance in change. The very fact that
the First National bank was within al
stones throw. coupled with the delib-j
crate actions of the man disarmed alg
suspicion.
By the time the deception was ris-ss
covered he was out Of town. Officers
are on his trail.
