Benefit in Outdoor Schools.

Speaking before the National Associ-
alton for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis recently, DR.. Henry Far
mum Stoll of Hartford, Conn, said:
Every city should have one or more
outdoor schools" He recommended
such institutions for all delicate, So
called scrofulous or anaemic children,
and those with tuberculosis of the
bones, who are now in ordinary
schools. Doctor Stoll declared that
twenty to forty per cent. of school
children in large cities are infected
with tuberculosis. BY the use of tu-
b%erculin, it was ascertained that 70 per
cent. of the children from t~uberculous
homes were infected as against only 26
per cent. of those from supposedly
healthy homes. 1t was also found that
80 per cent. of the frail children from
healthy homes had the germs of the
disease, but that only 13 per cent. of
the robust children from similar homes
were thus affected.

resent a happy hunting ground for the
disturbing winds. In fact, so annoying
does the constant rattle of these open
ings become that many determined in
%dividuals, who resolve to admit the
fresh air, choose the lesser of two
evils and close the openings in prefer
ence to sleepless nights. This can be
remedied if a small wedge of wood
be driven in al the side of an open
window; a door can be prevented
from rafting if a pad or strip of thick
felt be nailed on the edge of the door.
The annoyance of creaking drawers
can be eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top, sides and bottom Of

Cracking hinges on anything should
be well oiled, while the grating, irri-
tating noise of a sewing machine can
be overcome in a similar manner
