Schools for TubercuIous Children.

Special schools for tuberculous. chill
dren have now been established in
Providence, Boston, New York, Roches-
ter, Washington, Hartford, Conn.,, Chi
cago and Pittsburg. New York has
three schools and Washington, ID. O.,
two. The board of education of New
York city is proposing to establish
three more, and similar institutions
are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark,
N. j.
In cities like Providence. Boston and
New York, where outdoor schools have
been conducted for two years, the re-
suits obtained from the treatment OF
children in special tuberculosis open
air schools seem to show the great ad-
vantage of this class of institutions.
This, coupled with the experience OF
open air schools in Germany and Eng
land, proves that children can be cured
of tuberculosis and keep up with their
school work, without any danger to
fellow pupils.

Out Of the Christmas Jar.

To make the department especially
helpful. Nine. Merri will give the de-
partment to-day entirely up to ideas
for the approaching Christmas sea-
son. The daily papers for some time
have been warning US to make our
purchases early, but there are always
some who by force of circumstances
or habit are late. For some weeks
past every available suggestion for
the holidays has been jotted down,
hoping that every reader would in
this way be able to find something for
her own special need. Many of these
are merely hints upon which to en-
large as each individual deems best.
The first off the spindle is a now
and jolly method of distributing pres
ents, suitable for a Sunday school,
club or large party for children. Ar

when raised, will show a windmill re-
volving with Santa Claus in his usual
costume, but acting in the capacity
of the miller. Swarming around in
busy manner, Brownies, in costumes
of the dude, policeman, the Irishman
and the Indian, all dumping the con-
tents of paper sacks into the hopper
from which Santa" explains the
gifts for all. both great and small,
will soon emerge" AS the arms of the
mill turn, out of big spout will tum-
BILE the sue-paper-wrapped parcels,
much to the astonishment of the spec
tators. During all this performance
music played softly adds to the mys-
terry, and the proper lighting of the
stage is also important. To give a
touch of seasonable interest the mill
might be represented as being on top
of the north pole, using quantities of
diamond dust and cotton for the back
ground and having two figures dressed
as Cook" and "Peary" as "Santas"
assistants. Just the right person
must be chosen to impersonate
Santa" one who can keep a string of
nonsense going and mystify the chill
dren.

A Postcard Hunt.

Most children are ardent post card
collectors, so this party will appeal
to them. There should be enough
cards to permit of each guest having
three or four when the final distribu-
tion takes place. Use ordinary cards,
inexpensive, with few colored ones
and a half dozen with Christmas
symbols. Hide them throughout the
rooms, explaining that uncolored
cards score one, colored ones count
two points, and Christmas cards score
three. Allow ten minutes for the
hunt, then blow a whistle, which
means that all turn in their cards to
have the score made up. The Christ
mas cards go to the winners, and the
remaining cards are divided equally
between the guests, after reading off
the scores.

Country NeqIectinq the Children.

If the percentage of tuberculous chill
dren recently ascertained by an inves-
tigation in Stockholm, Sweden (1.61
per cent? were applied to the schools
of the United States there would be
273,700 children between the ages OF
eight and fifteen who are positively af-
fected with tuberculosis, according to
a statement of the National Associa-
ton for the study and prevention OF
tuberculosis. AS contrasted with this
figure, there are only IL open-air
tuberculosis schools in operation in
the entire country, and nine more un-
der consideration. At the lowest esti-
mate. even with all the schools now in
operation and those proposed, accom-
modations will not be provided for
four-tenths Of one per cent. of the
children who need this special treat
ment.

The sewing screens are in many
ways the greatest comfort sewer can
have. for everything is ready to use
the moment it is wanted. They are
made with either two or three panels,
covered on the outside with brocade,
cretonne or some such firm material.
The covering may be fastened on with
brass-headed nails or finished with a
gimp. On the inner side are the vari-
Gus pockets and straps to hold the ar
ticIes used In sewing.
The pockets are made of the same
material as the outer covering, put on
with a little fullness, and an elastic in
the top. They may be Of any size one
chooses. On the middle panel Of a
tbree-panel screen or one side of a
two-panel is a little wooden shelf,
fastened with chains at the outer cor
ners. This folds up when the screen
Is put away and hangs In horizontal
rosition when in use, serving as a
table to put things on. Two little
cross bars of wood have small spikes
to hold spools, and under these is a

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.

Coffee is such secret worker that
1t is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease, but there is a very
sure way to find out, the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using it for some time and was an
invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm
at the root of the tree" and ordered
It discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: 1--WE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
ly paid a hundred times the amount
of the doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead of cof-
fee was begun about year ago, and
1t has made my husband a strong, well
man. He has gained thirty-five pounds
In that time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared

little square tables are quite plain and

PRESCRIPTIONS Not General.

friends for general use. They forget
that some symptoms may come from

take a medicine prescribed for a
friend is very risky thing to do and
may do a great deal of harm.

LOST REGISTERED LETTERS
FOUND IN QUEER PLACE
Missed From a MangIed Mail Bag,
They are Recovered From
Car Trucks.

They are recovered from
Car Trucks.
II does not always follow that the
disappearance of registered mail
packages indicate robbery of the
mail. This was demonstrated on
The Overland Limited train No.
Friday. November 5th. when a pack
age Of FIVE registered letters from
Schuyler disappeared between that
point and Omaha.
The recovery of the lost package
was as strange as its disappearance.
The Schuyler pouch is picked up
from a crane by means of a pouch
catcher as the train passes. This
pouch catcher is attached to the mail
car and hooks onto the pouch sus-
pended from the crane as the train
passes. In this particular instance
the pouch catcher did not make a
good catch and the pouch fell under
the wheels of the train and was cut
in two. The mail was scattered along
the track for a considerable distance,
but the five registered letters, which
were in a packet, could not be found
when the other mail was picked up.
The impression at once prevailed that
the registered package had been found
and kept by some one and 1t was re-
ported as lost.
Postoffice Inspector L. A. Thomp-
son was started out to investigate. His
first visit was to Council Bluffs to
make inquiries of the postal clerks
on the car, and scarcely had he
reached there when he received word
that the registered package had been
found by the car cleaner resting snug
ly on the trucks under the dining
car, where 1t had been blown or
thrown when the mail pouch was
flung under the wheels at Schuyler.
That. the package was not injured
in the slightest, nor Jared from its
position on the trucks, is simply an
other tribute to the Union Pacific's
unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.

visions of the contract between the
United States and that company.
Water has been delivered on a rental
basis to settlers throughout various
portions of the project at the rate of
rs cents per acre foot, and 6172 acre
feet of water had ben applied for on
this basis to June 80. Comparatively
little difficulty has been experienced
in maintaining tho canal system of
the project during the past irrigation
season, with tho exception of a
stretch of about two miles at the up
per end of the main south side canal.
On this portion of the canal it has
been necessary to maintain a very
careful day and night watch to pre-
vent breaks, but in spite of this care
disastrous break occurred May %,

Up to June 80, 1909, the govern
ment spent in the Payette- Boise pro
ject $2,684,594. OF thOs amount
$266,S18 was spent on the diversion

ON RENTAL BASIS.

In a letter recently received by W..
L. Girard, secretary Of the Payette-
Boise Water Uses association, Pro-
ject Engineer F. w. Hanna says;
"In reply to questions that you
may have asked as to the furnishing
Of water on the Payette-Boise project
during the irrigation season Of 1910,
you may advise the settlers that wat
er win be furnished on a rental basis.
AS to the basis Of measuring and the
price, these have not as yet been set
tied. OF course, You understand that
water win be furnished only to such
portions OF the project as canals are
or will be- constructed for. Where
lateral Is not yet constructed, 1t
will be necessary for the party to
give a description of his land and
apply to this Office in detail as to
whether water can be furnished him
or not"

settlers on the south side just what
they may expect for the season for
1870. A great many Of the farmers
are at a loss to know whether they
arc justified in making preparations
for putting in crops for next year
