Health week. the biggest event in
the history of Hammond. from a SAM
tary viewpoint, opened yesterday aft-
esnoon in the superior court house with
a tuberculosis and adultered food ex-
hibit, under the auspices of the state
board of health. The exhibit will con
tinue until next Friday and are open
and free to the public, having been
established for the benefit Of the pub
lie.
The cold facts that stare down upon
the visitor as he enters the room grow
bewildering and frightening as the Wis
itor listens to the stories Of the raw
ages OF consumption and ponders over
the fact that but for the pure food he
would still be eating so per cent OF dirt
he did before the law went into eff
feet
The whole is a terrible lesson brought
home. but it is not without its bright
sides when one on the other hand be-
lieves the burning statement that
tuberculosis is not hereditary and is
preventable. and that the state board
OF health is doing everything in it's
power TO arouse the public conscience
and that wonderful progress has al
ready been made in the food lines

NEW NOSE MADE FOR WOMAN


A woman recently left the London
hospital with a new nose made from
flap Of skin taken from her own
forehead The operation was rendered
necessary on account Of an ulcer Of
years growth. which had gradually
eaten away all the tissues of the nose.
A racquet-shaped flap of skin about
two inches in length and an inch and
quarter wide was cut, extending up
wards, from the bridge of the nose.
the beginning of the handle" of the
racquet being the only point of at
tachment. The skin was very care
fully detached from the underlying
bone, and. being swung round with its
attachment at the base of the nose,
was made to cover the previously de-
nuded nose area The new nose was
stitched into place at the sides, open
ings being left for the woman's nos
trils. The denuded space on the fore
head was then covered in with skin
gratis. The patient. woman of fifty
years, who was only three weeks in
the hospital. left well pleased with
her artificial features.

LEARNING ART or COUNTING
African savages Have interesting
Method of caIculating-Use
Both Feet and Hands

Do you remember learning to
count? l dare say not. But I am
pretty cure you learned to count on
your fingers, or perhaps you were
given bright counters or shells to use
instead.
Savages learn to count in Just the
same ways; most of them use their
fingers, and SO they learn to count
by tens as we do, and some Of them
give their numbers very funny names.
The Indians on the Orinoco call FIVE
zone hand" and ten "two hands" But
they use their feet as we'll and call
fifteen whole foot" sixteen zone to
the other foot" and twenty 'one
man" This plan becomes very com
jplicated with higher figures. for TWEEN
ity-one is "one to the hand of the next
man"
The African savages count In much
the same way. The Zulu for six Is
''tatisitupa," which means taking the
thumb" that is, the man who IS
counting has used the five fingers Of
one hand, and is beginning to use the
second hand, starting at the thumb.
Some races use the joints of the
finger instead Of the fingers them
selves. and they are very badly of,
for they can only count up to three.
Some Australian tribes count thus
one, two, two-one. two-two, and can
go no further. Other races have only
three words, "one," two" "a great
many"
But savages sometimes use other
things for counting than fingers or
joints Our own word Calculate"
means working with pebbles" One
African tribe calls forty "ogodze."
which means string" because they
use cowrie shells strung together by
forties for counting Their name for
hundred is "yha," which means
heap is. a heap of cowries.

MAKING the Silhouette.

Making silhouettes of people is great
sport, but there are very few people
who can pick up piece of paper and
clip out the silhouette of a person.
Even artists who may be able to
draw them, when it comes to cutting,
off hand, make miserable failure
Of it.
An easier method is to pin large
sheet Of white paper on the wall, and
then put out all lights but one. Have
the different persons come between
that light and the paper. and then
trace the outline with pencil. Take
the paper from the wall and after you
have cut out the head along the mark.
