LEARNING TO SEW.

LEARNING IL SE w.
Little Betty didn't like to sit still ana
sew like all the other little girls did
when she lived in Philadelphia many
many years ago. She would much rather
go outdoors and play than learn TO sew.
So that day when her mother pulled
omen the top drawer of the high chest
and took out needles and thread and
piece of cloth, Betty began to poUt ana
whine: 'T don't want to sew: l won

quite shocked to think her little girl was
so naughty, and was inclined TO scolo
her sharply. but just at that moment her
father came into the room. and. catch

That delighted Betty, for she loved her
father dearly. and it would be just splen-
did to make him present all by herself.
So from that time she practiced faithful
ly. and soon learned to sew such nice
straight seam and to make such tiny
stitches that everybody praised her work.
Years afterwards, when she was a
grown up girl. she was asked to make a
flag for our new country. As she sat
proudly putting the fine stitches in the
pieces Of red, white and blue cloth Of the
flag that was to make her famous, how
thankful she was that her father had
persuaded his pouting little girl to learn
to sew. Parents always know best af-
ter ALL she said to herself.
OF course you all know who Betty was?
If not, I'll tell you. 1t was Betty Ross.

People very rarely inherit con-
sumption. They may, however,
possess a weak constitution.
IF a child has feeble parents, or
from any cause is not strong, he
should be given special care 80 as to
develop his strength. From his
earliest infancy he should become
accustomed to the open air. He
should never be housed up and con-
fined in doors. His school work
should not be allowed to impair
his health.
"Out-of-door sports, mountain
climbing or life on. the farm would
tend to make him strong.
Everyone should be prepared to
battle with consumption, This dis
ease spares no class of people.
1t spreads its terror in the
abodes of the poor ard the dwell
ings of the rich.
Weakly persons particularly
those who have been exposed to
the disease, should be constantly on
their guard against it.
Such people should seek out of
door occupations.
Remember that correct living
with plenty of physical exercise
and regular habits will be your
greatest safeguard against con-
sumption.
Because one member of the
family has consumption, it is no
reason why other members OF the
family should take the disease.
If they do take it, it is because
some one has been careless in not
observing the rules above Get forth,

not because it il inherited or un-
avoidable.
Consumption is positively q
preventable disease, and the family
that allows it to spread from one
member Of the family to the other
are either ignorant or careless in
observing the rules of health ard
prevention of disease.
Consumption can be cured in
its early stages, but not in its adj
vanced stages.
Consumption can be cured in
Oregon as we'll as in any other state
in the union.
IF your patient is in an early
stage Of the disease, it is your duty
to give him the benefit of the most
modern advantages of treatment.
If not possible to send him to a
sanitarium, have his physician in
struct him along the lines that he
should follow at home.
1T is not human to send the far
advanced consumptive patient on a
long journey in search of a climate
where he may be expected to receive
benefit.
IF his case is beyond help he
should be allowed at least to die
at home near relatives and friends

PREVENTING CONSUMPTION


Investigators the world over de-

carelessness, are the ever ready
vehicular agents of the scourge; two
positives, knowledge and careful
ness, are the representatives.; the
enemies Of the victors.
A weakened individual, weaken
ed by improper food or impure air,
or intemperance or excess, or worry

bacillus than the stronger one.
The following is a bulletin issued
by the Oregon State Board of Health
regarding tuberculosis:

tense against consumption is a con-
d1tlon OF perfect health.
In orner to attain this condi-
ton one should at all times strive
to maintain regular and correct
habits Of working, sleeping, eating,
and bathing.
See that you have fresh air where
yon work.
Dom work or sleep where there
is not an abundance of fresh air.
Have plenty of sunlight and
fresh air in your homes.
Remember. no spit. no con-
sumption.

Remember that consumption
can be cured if taken in the early

The recognized treatment for

Rest whenever there is fever.

Investigators as recent occurrences
have attracted the attention of the
thinking world to these springs.
One of their chief points of interest
to medical men is said to be that
which proves that pre-eminent
chemical action rests in the waters
which flow from the earth at Paso
Robes, California.
Paso Robles Hot Springs is making
cures daily of rheumatism, gout,
stomach trouble, neurotic disease,
kidney trouble and general break
down, which proves almost beyond
question to medical men that there
Is some quality in these waters su-
perior to any in this country and
probably in the world.
It is also claimed for Paso Robles
that the air conditions are perfect. 1t
lies in a small valley protected by
mountain ranges; is 720 feet above
sea level and is not assailed by too
much sea moisture or an abnormal
temperature from the hot land winds.
This air condition Is thought by
some to have almost as much to do
with its cures as the waters them
selves.
TIL town, like all health resorts, is
filled with boarding houses of all
kinds so that every purse will be
pleased. There are hotels for the
rich, where any luxury may be had.
Private baths for exclusive patrons
who wish to be by themselves.
These springs have been known for
centuries, for they were used by the
Indian to cure his sick and later the
Franciscan fathers performed Won
derful cures here, but it is only re-
Gently that the really marvellous pow
ers of these waters were made known
to the world at large.
