SUMMER TUBERCULOSIS CAMP
8rattleboro Woman's Club Has Ar.
ranged for a Farm

Brattleboro May 24.-The Brattle-
boro Woman's club has been investi-
eating this week the need and posi-
bility of a summer camp for the tu-
berculOsis patients in Brattleboro
says the Phoenix. 1t has been decid-
ed that there is a field for such a
camp and a committee of twelve has
been appointed TO act as a board of
management for the camp There arc
several patients who will try the out
OF door treatment in care of nurses
from the Memorial hospital under the
direction of Miss Elsie +. McCloskey
farm nas been placed at the dis
posal of the club and immediate steps
will be taken to provide funds for the
equipment and running expenses OF
the camp. 1t has been proved that il
is easier to carry on the treatment at
la sanatorium where others are living
under the same rules. Great benefit
is derived from the rest and care, es-
pecially in the incipient cases, which
may be cured very easily in this way.
The Woman's club believes that
every town should care for its own
patients rather than compel them to
go away for treatment, where home
sickness often offsets the good that
might be received, and they purpose
to try this in Brattleboro, believing
that the citizens of the town viii give
the necessary aid. The first step will
be tuberculosis benefit Saturday af-
ternoon. July 3. when the local auto
mobile owners will be asked to give
the use of their machines for few
hours for paid rides, the proceeds to
be used for the camp equipment

OUR MANLY TRAINING OF GIRLS
Learn Higher Mathematics and are
Short Changed by the Butcher

Our training of girls approaches
close to the idiotic, claims Katherine
Eggleston in Woman's Home COmpan
ion for June. The average girl from
the minute she leaves her dolls to go
to kindergarten, till she matriculates
at college, is told about men and mems
work-neyer about women. The kim
dergarten songs and tales are about
Lincoln and Wasnington-and even
The pictures of animals show the lion
and forget the lioness. In older child
hood she is taught to build sand forts
instead of good old-fashioned mud
pies. and even the sums in arithmetic
dwell on "Billy's marbles and Johns"
apples, to the total neglect of his sis
ter.
Later still she goes to higa school
and learns history with all its ideals
Of brave men--and here again the wo-
mans share of quiet courage is com
pletely overshadowed. She learns
carpentering, although she cannot
cook an egg or sew a seam And fin
ally, her education finished, she knows
all about the higher mathematics and
IS short changed by the butcher She
learns political economy but doesn't
know who the members of her own
school board Miss Egglestons bright
lrticle concludes.
IF your boy wanted to be a lawyer
and neighbor told you to put him to
work in carpenters shop by way of
preparation, you would think your
neignbor crazy. But you do not con
slider yourself crazy when you train
YOUR daughter, who is to be wife

from the grim statistics that women
do marry, despite economic indepen-
dence, the higher education and all
other arguments in favor of coeduca-
tom precisely as you train your son.

its maker before the country was in

Minnesota who on, the occasion his
recent visit to Platteville remarked
that he thought it strange that the
mill tailings were not used in the
improvement of the city streets as no
better Or cheaper material could be
found. In the past the tailings have
been hauled away by the railroad
company for ballast. They may be
had for the asking by the Platteville
people and as thousands of tons are
available their frequent use will be
inexpensive and provide a good
foundation for the city streets and
roads of the vicinity.

Mrs. T. M. Young. formerly Of
Lancaster and now residing at Burl.
ingtoh, Iowa, in writing to lady
friend in this city tells story con-
corning a couple of little boys in that
city. that is a corker. Both were
DOCTORS sons and one had been left to
play with the other while their moth
ers were spending the afternoon out.
When the mother at the home where
the boys were left started away there
was in the refrigerator three dozens
of eggs, seven pounds Of butter, a
lemon pie, a plate of dried beef and
six gallons of milk, and in the back
yard was pile of sand. When she
came home the refrigerator was
empty, most of the sand pile was in
the kitchen, and what was not there
was mixed up with the former con-
tents Of the refrigerator. Each
mother blamed the other boy for
planning the mischief; there was a
quarrel between the two women
which was finally adjusted by a de-
vision of the loss and the smothering
of much hard feeling and for several
days thereafter the guilty youngsters
ate their meals from the mantel
while standing.
