CONSERVATIVES TO BE MADE
TO WORK VERY HARD

New York, Aug. 3t.---F GLOWING an in
spection Of sanitoriums in Switzerland
and England, Dr.. II. M. Biggs. chief
medical adviser to the department OF
health, has planned a vigorous and per-
,haps sensational course of treatment
for the citys consumptive patients.
Heretofore, the course of treatment has
been limited to plenty of fresh air and
lots Of nourishing food. But now the
patients will have to go to work and
the harder the work, the more certain,
it is believed, Will be their cure. The
hospital at Otisville is in need of an ad-
dition and the men patients will be put
to work as hod- carriers and brick ma
sons, being compelled to labor as long
and hard as possible. Women patients
must also do manual labor of tho
hardest kind, plowing If able, and all
other kinds of agricultural work. They
will also be asked to do the carpenter
ling work on the new structure at Otis
Vile Hereafter all patients must sleep
out Of doors. even If the temperature is
( 10 degrees below zero.

ROOSEVELT TROPHIES.

washington. Aug. s1.-Moles and rats
are the most important trophies OF the
many samples collected In one big
packing case and five small ones Just
received by the Smithsonian institution
from former President Roosevelt.
The scientists of the Institution dis
play comparatively little interestin the
skulls of the big animals, proofs OF ex-
President Roosevelt's heroism and
workmanship. But molns and rats of
the sort contained in the latest shin
.ments seem to be quite popular with the
scientists.
Mai. E. j. Mearnes. who heads the
Smithsonian end of the Roosevelt ex-
lhibition, saw fit to include In the col
lection OF skins and birds and small
animals that ola rat marked with two
warts on It's lower lip. The govern

great value Is attached to the particular
hide. 1t outranks in worth the bigsNst
