How Frost Affects Plants.

Plants do not frees. to death in win
ter, but perish from thirst. The proc
ess is simple. The cold causes the
withdrawal Of the water from the cells
of the plant. forming ice crystals out
side of the cells. The frost, cooling
and contracting the surface, acts as n
sort OF pump. aud as soon as the cell
IL emptied Of it's life giving fluid the
plant dies. The truth Of this theory
has been proved by numerous careful!
experiments. Great variation was
found In the amount Of cold necessary
to cause the death Of vegetation. Some
plants dry out quickly and are killed
before the freezing point IS reached.
Many plants will survive zero weather.
and some die only at 20 degrees be-
low. Certnin vegetable growths never
freeze. There are forms Of bacteria

CONSUMPTIVE WIDOW CURED
Ravages of Disease Arrested by
Free Dispensary.
Pathetic Case of Woman with Five
Is SeIf-suppOrting.

Twenty new patients examined and
hfty-four visits by old patients is the
record for the Free Dispensary for Con-
sumptives. at 923 II street northwest dur
ing December.
Three hundred and ffty-nine visits TO
patients in their homes were made by the
visiting nurse.
Some patients included in this number
have been referred to the nurse by pri-
vate physicians or by some agency dis
tinct from the dispensa~y. Of the patients
visited by the nurse, twenty-one were
new in December, twenty have been
given milk from the diet kitchen. and
thirty-five have received milk and eggs
from the Citizens Relief Association
through the Associated Charities.

BeaIl. J. D. Rogers, and G. H. Camp met
at the clinics Of the dispersary in Decem-
Der. giving their services without COM
pensation.
In April. 1867, a woman, thirty years
old. a widow. came to the dispensary for
treatment She was found TO be in an
advanced stage Of the disease. The nurse
found upon visiting her that she had five
children, the Oldest thirteen years of age.
She had supported her family since her
husbands death by doing laundry work
until she was forced to stop by the rapid
development Of tuberculosis.
Through the influence Of the nurse, the
children were taken care Of temporarily,
and the diet of milk and eggs was pro-
vided through the Associated Charities.
The mother was instructed in sanitary
living and assisted to carry out the doc
tors instructions.
She has been under the care Of the dis
pensary and the nurse constantly for
nine months. Last month she returned
TO work, taxing n responsible position.
where she is in charge of several ser
wants
The doctors consider she is an arrested
case, and, with proper care, viii be re-
stored TO normal health.
She is now entirely self-supporting, is
able to provide herself with the diet OF
milk and eggs, and is able to take care
of her five children, who are with her
again. This is said to be typical Of the
many cases that have been successfully
treated al the dispensary.
The hours for treatment are Monday.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from
10 2. m. and Friday evening, from
7:30 to $50. Patients who are unable to pay
for treatment are examined and treated
free of charge. If the diagnosis indicates
consumption, the patient is kept under
care Of the physician, and is visited by the
nurse.
