On their recent travels Mr.. Taft, who is most ap

At Home in the White House
A ND now in the White House all the expenditures
from their private income are reviewed and set

hint of a strong minded good manager in the
New England sense. 1t is simply happy fellowship.

President Taft does not take any meal between
the half-past eight breakfast and dinner; but 1t is
always announced to him when Mrs. Taft goes to
luncheon and if possible he tears himself away from
official duties and conferences and goes to sit with
her and the children, when they are at home

red drawing room the least formal of the state suite
and if the weather permits they wander out upon
eastern gate entrance. This, with its border OF lights
and shrubbery along the balustrade, has greatly
taken President Taft's fancy. What splendid

Both the President and Mrs.
Taft take the greatest pleasure
in the White House as a
beautiful American home, out
side the official honor their
residence there brings. At one
of the first White House teas
that Mrs. Taft gave, a Con-

over?"
Well, who wouldn't be

sweeping alterations in the
decoration of the White

been SO many flowers used in

the effect is as if the whole in

When President Taft is con-
suited as to the details for any
White House function, he
says, "All right, SO long as

plight by the church choir, under the lead
ership of Prof. Lee G.. Kratz. II was the
fourth and last number of the entertain
ment course given by the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of the church for the benefit OF the
repair fund. So successful and pleasing
was the cantata that after it was over a
request was made that IT be repeated dur
ing Lent and this will probably be done.
Considering that everyone participating
in the cantata was a regular member OF
the church choir and that no outside talent
was employed for the occasion. the produc-
ton was exceptionally creditable.
Although the choruses were the best fea-
ture Of the evenings program, their blend
ing, tone quality and shading having been
carefully nurtured under Prof. Krstz' direc-
ton. the solos were also creditable and won

copal churches. The Catholic church, be-
sides the regular masses Of the morning,
will have evening worship Wednesdays and
Fridays beginning this wednesday, even
ing. the distribution Of blessed ashes being
made at the various services today.
Afternoon and evening services will be
held on week days through Lent by all
the Episcopal churches of the city. The
MONDAY meetings for business people at
Trinity Cathedral will be the most novel
feature.

the Roman Catholic church differ in no
particular from those of last year. The
official rules are as follows:

excused are obliged to observe the fast Of
Lent.

mitted.

the United states for a period OF ten years
we hereby permit the use OF flesh meat
use has hitherto been forbidden except all
Fridays OF the year, Ash Wednesday. the
Wednesday and Saturday of holy week and
the vigil OF Christmas.
II Is the wish of the holy see that those

FOR SANlTARIUM At ASHEv|LlE
REPRESENTATIVE GRANT DE-
SIREs CONGRESS TO ACT.
Bill Proposes Appropriation to Es-
tablish and Maintain National
tuberculosis Hospital.

John G. Grant, representative from the
duced bill in Congress providing for the
establishment of national sanitarium
for the treatment of tuberculosis, to be
the principal city of Mr.. Grants district.
This is not local appropriation BILL.
said Representative Grant today. intro
duced for effect. On the contrary, it is
a matter of national Importance. l am
satisfied that the strongest influences
which will be brought to bear for the
passage of the bill will be influences out
side Of my district.
"Asheville, and. in fact, the whole of the
mountain section OF North Carolina, has
an established reputation as a health re-
atmosphere having been long recognized
as producing the most beneficial results
in cases of tubercular trouble.
within the list few years an organized
fight against tuberculosis has been car
ried on throughout the country, and there
are few sections of the Union which have
not got, in some form or other a society
for holding in check the great white
plague. There is a strong sentiment in
favor of the national government assist
ing In this battle against disease.
Really those sections of the country
in which consumption is prevalent are
far more interested in the bill than are
my constituents. Each year millions of
dollars are expended by the federal gov
ernment for the maintenance and equip
ment of costly battleships. The actual
use of these battleships. for the protec-
tion of life and property, is a very re-
mote possibility. but il a small part of
that expenditure could be used in pre-
venting the spread of tuberculosis in the
United States it would result in the saw
ing of valuable lives, and that result
would be immediate and certain, not re-
mote and conjectural."
