Ruin the Payements.

The mud roads adjacent TO the new
macadam pavements have already COM
menced their ravages and work of de-
structios upon the recent improve
ments, and unless some remedy is de-
vised to keep the mud from tracking
and falling fro myehicle wheels onto
the new street pavement it will not be
long before they are IN demoralized
condition and I'm need of repairs. A
Crown Point business man in speaking
OF the trouble, hit upon a remedy
which is simple, and II carried out and
put into execution would do much to-
ward keeping the new pavements in
good condition. 1t is possible now to
drive on nearly every street III town or
new paved streets. and if the traffic
would keep on these streets alone and
only travel on the dirt roads when alb
solutly necessary. especially when
they are in a muddy condition, it would
prevent the work of destruction which
is apparent to all those who observe
the damage done to macadam pave
ments adjacent to dirt roads. There
is no way to compel the public to OBJ
serve this custom. but if the fact could
be forcibiy impressed upon their minds

Schools for ruberculous Children.

Schools for Tuberculous Children.
Special schools for tuberculous chill
dren have now been established in
Providence, Boston, New York, Roches-
ter, Washington. Hartford, Conn, Chi
cago and Pittsbug. New York has
three schools and Washington, d. c.,
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.
