Injustice to consumptives.


| In the past few years the public
knowledge Of the nature of tubercu-
losis, and of the means by which it is
spread, has been greatly increased.
1t is universally recognized now that
this is an infectious disease, capable Of
being communicated from the sick to
the well, and that an unfnstructed or
careless consumptive is a menace to
the community in which he lives. It is
known that his expectoration contains
the germs Of the disease, and that II it
is recklessly deposited on the floors of
| public buildings or in the street 1t dries,
and the bacilli which it contains are
carried by the dust to the threats and
| lungs Of others.
| So much has been said Of this dan
ger, in the effort to suppress the dirty
| habit of expectoration, that the pendu
lum has begun to swing too far the
| other way, and the belief is gaining
ground that the consumptive, not mat
| ter what his habits or mode of life, is
person to be stunned.
This is cruel and adds unnecessary
weight to the load of suffering the con-
sumptive has to bear 1t has led to the
barring of health resorts against the
subjects of tuberculosis, to the dis
charge from their positions of wage
earners who are affected in the slight
est degree, and even to attempts to iso
late the tuberculous as If they were
! lepers and pariahs.
| 1t is time in the name Of humanity
that something was said on the other
side, and that the public should be told
that a consumptive who is clearly in
his habits and is careful to destroy the
expectorated matter by using paper
napkins or specially devised cups which
can be burned, is in no sense dangerous
to his fellows.
| A properly conducted sanatorium,
filed with tuberculous patients, is !.:-
deed one of the safest places for per-
son with a supposed tendency to the
disease to reside.
| A consumptive should not sleep in
| the same bed with well person, es-
! peciaHy q child, should refrain from
kissing others, should not use towels or
eating utensils in common, should not
talk while directly facing his compan-
| ion in close proximity, should hold
| handkerchief before his mouth when
coughing, and should observe the we'll
known rules regarding expectoration.
That is ALL If he Is careful to OBJ
serve these simple precautions for the
sake Of his fellows, the public has no
reason to shun him.
He can live at home, can mingle with
| his family, and go into the society Of
others without the slightest fear OF do
| ing them harm. His lot, like that Of
| any sick person, is a hard one, but it
should not be made harder by the igno-
| ant and unreasoning fear of those who
ave misinterpreted the well-intentioned
rnings of physicians.

BIG VICE PRESIDENTS.
Nothing in the Office to Warrant It's
Being Tossed Aside.

Being Tossed Aside.
In the first days Of the republic the
vice presidency was the consolation
prize for the candidate for the presi-
dency who received the second highest
vote. This system, however, insured
the election Of strong man, under or
binary circumstances, since he was pre-
sumably the best mon of the opposite
party Some of the most iT1ustrious
names in the early history of the coun-
try graced the roster of Vice Presi-
dents, and even after the old plan was
abandoned and the successful party
won all, while the losing party lost
all, there have been enough "big' men
elected to the second highest Office in
the government to relieve it from the
opprobrium of what Mr.. Cleveland so
felicitously called "innocuous des-
uetude."
The murder of three Presidents with
in the comparatively short space of
forty years has called dramatic atten-
ton to the Importance of filing this
office with men Of ability. Certainly
there is nothing in the history of the
vice presidency which would warrant
anybody, no matter how big" in his
own State or in his own estimation,
Of tossing it aside as beneath his dig
nifty.
Of the twenty-six men who have been
elected Vice Presidents, eight, or al
most one in every three, have succeeded
to the presidency, either by election or
through the death or assassination of
the President. Adams, Jefferson and
Van Buren, were elected in the regular
course of affairs; Tyler and Fillmore
succeeded through the death of the
President from natural causes, while
Johnson, Arthur and Roosevelt came
into the highest Office through the
| assassination of the President-Mr
Roosevelt having the added distinction
| of having been also elected in regular
course.

Short Suggestions.

In warm weather put eggs in cold
water and they will froth better,
To prevent pastry from burning, set
a pan of water in the oven while it 1s
baking.
Never try to ice cake hot and let
layer cake get nearly cold before put
ting together.
Always use lard to grease your cake
pans, as the salt in the butter causes
it to stick to the pans.
Charcoal absorbs all dampness, for
which reason it should be kept in boxes
with silverWare to prevent rust.
One housekeeper even uses a big
piece of velvet to rub her stove to a
high polish after it has been black
ened.
The oven door should be shut as
gently as possible Much of the heavy
cake and bread is the result of its be-
ing banged in closing.

A Sure Method for Good Bread.

Take pounds of -four and one cup
full of yeast Mix the yeast lightly in
the middle of the -four with a little
salt. This quantity of flour requires
three and one-half cupfuls of luke
warm water. Mix all to a stiff dough,
In the morning knead it down and let
it rise again. When nearly risen, cut
pieces from it the size of a loaf and
mold lightly on a beard for the pans,
using only sprinkling of flour to pre-
vent sticking to the board. Cover the
pans when the loaves are ready and set
in warm place to rise for the oven.
When sufficiently light, bake, and you
will have a most delicious bread, and
bread that does not dry quickly.
