INSTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOLS
Children Being Taught the Nature and Methods of Prevention of
 Tuberculosis.

Definite instruction concerning the nature and methods of prevention of tuberculosis is being given to less than six per cent of the public school children of the United States, accord ing to bulletin of the National Asso- citation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Recent investigation has shown that in only nine cities, Washington, Dallas, Tex, Richmond, Va, Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Detroit, Mich, Maiden, Mass, Salem, Mass, Saginaw, Mich, and Knoxville, Tenn, are special text books being used or lectures being given about tuberculo- sis. In three states and one territory, Michigan, Massachusetts, North Caro- lima and Porto Rico, laws have been passed requiring that instruction about the nature and methods of pre- vention of tuberculosis be given in all public schools. In Tennessee the state department of education has re- quested that such instruction be given and has issued circulars for this pur- pose. In New Jersey and West Vir- ginia wall cards giving instruction are hung in every schoolroom and the attention of all children is called to them.

- i''iN oO -"i hSu iiidu ana WOm- l an as wicked as she was beautiful- the naval hero of England and an ex. | chambermaid-are the hero and bero. inc of this story.
 The man was Horatio Nelson: the woman, Lady Hamilton. Nelson was the younger son of an English clergy man. He had, as boy, a craving for the sea; received an appointment as midshipman, and by sheer genius rose to the ranks of admiral. He was also created a viscount in the British peerage. and was the nations idol. Lady Hamilton began life as a domes- tic servant. Her name was Emma Harte. Firing of the duties of cham bermaid, she became waitress in a tavern. Later, after rather doubtful career, she attracted the notice of old Sir William Hamilton, British am bassador at the court of Naples. and married him
 Nelson could not withstand a pretty face. He had a long line of inno- cent but ardent love affairs. As a mere youth he fell in love with a Quebec girl and was with difficulty persuaded not to marry her. Next he

 west Indies The match was broken off, and he became enamored of Mrs, Montray, a dashing widow
 If it were not for her." he wrote to friend, Il believe should hang myself"
 But Mrs. Montray left the West In- dies, and Nelson transferred his af- fections to another widow, Mrs. Nis- bet To win the favor of this second widow this national hero used to play sea fights" under the dining room table with her children In March, 17S7, he and Mrs. Nisbet were mar ried. Nelson was at that time 29 Until he was 40 their welded life was happy. Then trouble set in.
 While Nelson was in command of the Mediterranean, after he thrashed Napoleon's fleet at the battle of the Nile, he met Lady Hamilton. Her husband begged leave to introduce to her "a little man who cannot boast of being handsome, but such a man as will one day astonish the world" Nelson had never seen so beautiful or clever a woman. He looked upon her with a sort of reverent admiration. When she used her influence at the Naples court in behalf of the British able ties of gratitude. Her influence over the simple. impulsive admiral grew to be boundless.
 There was a revolt that busted the Neapolitan king and queen from their court. Nelson took them under bis protection and they were restored to the throne. Admiral Caraccioli of the revolutionist fleet was Nelson's friend. Caraccioli chanced to to be Lady Ham ilton's enemy She is credited with persuading Nelson to forget that Car accioli had been promised free par don for his share in the revolt, and to consent to the unfortunate mans execution This is the blackest stain on all Nelson's record. A woman's wiles had for once made him forget honor, friendship and fairness
 As time went on Nelson's infatua- ton for Lady Hamilton grew to be the scandal of Europe. The Admirafs faithful wife endured it for years, then hn choose between Lady Hamilton and herself. He did so. As result Lady Nelson left their house, and only once again did she set eyes on her husband. She was not clever. She had no weapons with which to cope
