THO SEE that the people who go TO
the mountains for their health do
\ not get typhoid fever is the pur-
pose Of the state board OF health III
beginning a campaign of inspection
and education before the resorts open
for the coming season.
Apropos of this subject the secretary,
when interviewed, said: Members OF
the state board are aware that some
of the mountain resorts have been CEN
ters of typhoid fever dissemination,
and they are inaugurating a movement
which will minimize this disease dan
ger. At the same time care is being
taken not to subject resort proprietors
to loss or to unnecessary inconvenience.
Hitherto when typhoid fever cases
have been traced back to summer re-
sorts the appearance of inspectors ana
the subsequent signs of a sanitary up
heaval were apt to cause an exodus of
guests that would give the place bad
name for the rest of the season. This
year inspectors are being sent out
while the proprietors are beginning to
make preparations for the coming sum-
mer. The business of the inspectors
is to make known the state laws In
regard to sanitation, to ascertain the
condition of toilets and water sup
plies; also to spread information on
the prevention of typhoid fever 1t is
expected that when resort proprietors
fully understand the situation they Will
take the measures necessary for the
protection of their patrons. In case
of any persistent unwillingness in this
direction, the board will be compelled,
of course, to invoke the long, bony
hand of the law
That insanitary health resorts re-
main undiscovered sources of typhoid
Infection and that they also cause
typhoid epidemics in widely scattered
communities, is the assertion of state
health board member who has been an
active advocate of inspection and reg
ulation. He maintains also that be-
cause many typhoid fever convales-
cents seeks the mountains when re-
cruiting their strength there Is menace
added to the situation. About one
typhoid convalescent in four becomes a
carrier" that is, continues to dis
charge the disease germs with the
wastes of the body for several weeks
or months or even years. The pres
ence of one Of these carriers" at
resort where the toilet vault Is ac-
cessible to flies, or drains underground
into the water supply, is sufficient TO
cause the infection of many guests.
The typhoid bacillus requires two
weeks for incubation; consequently pa
irons remain unwittingly at danger
Gus health resorts, as in the majority
of cases the guests who are injected
complete their outings and return
home before coming down with disease.
There is always the possibility that
patients chus scattering to differen.
communities will become centers of
other epidemics.

HEART

"I can't endure much exercise" signs
some poor fellow. II have weak
heart. In fact don't really exercise at
ALL don't dare to-" And the truth Is
that he does not do much of anything
that enables him to taste the real
pleasures of living. Too many men
and women who believe that they have
weak hearts live on and on, always
dreading to act as other and happier
people do, always trying to stave or
the death that they believe to be In
evitable If anything like exertion is
undertaken by them. Now, how DO
you go about strengthening the weak
muscles of the arm and leg? You exer-
else them, and so, from being soft, fab
by and all but useless, they become
, hard, firm and enduring. The heart
itself may be defined as one great
muscle; it is one mass of muscular tis-
sue; it Is composed of great number
of constituent muscles, and every one
of these is capable of being strength
ened and hardened so as to resist all or
binary strains. Thus the organ may
be made to do it's work in the manner
that nature intended 1t to.

SELECTION OF FOODS.

Many housekeepers who pride them- selves on their knowledge of the cuts of meat and can tell at a glance the hardy old farmyard veteran from the juicy young broiler, fall down com pletely when choosing fruits and vege- tables. Berries which looked well in the market prove flat, stale and pn- profitable. Melons and cucumbers outwardly attractive were only skin deep in good looks. Oranges and grape fruit are frequently overripe and peaches green The wise selection of fruit is not learned in day nor with one lesson. For the beginner there are few points, which If observed will make the chances better of get ting what one pays for and teach one how to tell the good from the bad.
 The two chief tests are weight and fgararnce. Ripe fruit has fresh, sweet odor which Is easily recognized. Fragrance Is the best test to give to berries. as those without that delicate aroma should be regarded with sus- picion. This is also true of lemons, oranges, peaches, pears, and especial ly of cantelopes.
 When buying oranges, grapefruit and melons. weight Is the important item; If light in weight, beware of them, they will either be pthy or un- ripe. If melons are spongy to the touch they are either unripe or stale. Cucumbers should never be purchased If spongy.
 In selecting muskmelons the sweet. est ones have rough rind The smooth streaks which divide the fruit into sections should be yellowish.

EMERGENCY SALAD.

The ingredients for salad are ustp ally at hand. the vegetables left from dinner; if they have been served with a sauce, this can be washed off before putting away. Remnants of fruit that are not enough to serve as frsft course make delicious salad. Fruit is nice served with a heavy sirup, a French dressing or mayonnaise. When serving French dressing on fruit 1t Is well to use lemon instead of vinegar. and whipped cream may be added just before serving.
 Cold cooked string beans make a most satisfying salad with little onion and French dressing. all heaped daintily on crisp leaves of let tuce. For beet salad cut enough cold cooked beets into dice to make three cupfuls, put into salad bowl. add five tablespoonfuls of olive oil- three tablespoonfuls of vinegar, tea spoonful of salt and few dashes Of red pepper. Arrange on bed of let tuce on cold dish: pour the dress ing over it and serve.
 Celery and hard cooked eggs with . dressing make a wholesome salad.

|Tfl[ CIRCULAR STAIRCASE

There's ladder up the clothes chute, Miss Innes," she said Its up that tight I cant move it, and I didn't like to ask for help until I spoke to you"
 It was useless to dissemble; Mary Anne knew now as we'll as I did that the ladder had no business to be there. 1 did the best I could, how ever. I put her on the defensive at once.
 Then you didn't lock the laundry last night?"
 T locked it tight, and put the key in the kitchen on it's nail"
 Very well, then you forgot win dow"
 Mary Anne hesitated. "Yes'm" she said at last T thought I locked them all, but there was one open this morning."

The door into the clothes chute was se- l saw the evidence of the woman's story pruning ladder had been brought from where it had lain against the stable and nov stood up- right in the clothes shaft, it's end rest ing against the wall between the first and second floors. turned to Mary
 This is due to your carelessness," l said. If we had all been murdered in our beds it would have been your fault" She shivered. Now, not a word of this through the house, and send Alex to me"
 The effect on Alex was to make him apoplectic with rage, and with it all l fancied there was an element of satis- faction. As look back, so many things are plain to me that 1 wonder l could not see at the time It is all known now, and yet the whole thing was so remarkable that perhaps my stupidity was excusable.
 Alex leaned down the chute and ex- | amined the ladder carefully. Tt is caught" he said with a grim smile. "The fools, to have left a warning like that The only trouble is, Miss Innes, they won't be apt to come back for while"
 T shouldn't regard that in the light of a calamity" I replied.
 Until late that evening Halsey and Alex worked at the chute. They forced down the ladder at last, and put a new bolt on the door. As for myself. I sat and wondered if I had deadly enemy, intent on my destruc- tion.
 l was growing more and more nerv- ous. Liddy had given up all pretense at bravery. and slept regularly In my dressing room on the couch, with a prayerbook and a game knife from the kitchen under her pillow, thus pre- pairing for both the natural and the supernatural. That was the way things stood that Thursday night, when I myself took hand in the struggle.

Tins for the Worker,

Never get careless about your work. Be cheerful over your work; nobody wants to hear of aches and pains.
 Politeness costs little and brings in splendid returns.
 Don't think you are indispensable. Notice the hole made In pail of wa ter when you draw out your finger! So will our places be filled when we go.
 Be dependable; there is no quality so worth cultivation and often lacking in otherwise good people.
 Cultivate a keen sense of humor 1t lightens many a burden and makes easy many rough roads.

 Mir. Jamieson wrote something on a card and gave 1t to her.
 Mrs Tate" he said, "I want you to do something. Here is some money for the telephone call The instant the bows mother appears here, call up that number and ask for the person whose name is there. You can run across to the drug store on an errand and do it quietly. Just say. The lady has come
 "The lady has come,' repeated Mrs. Tate. Very well, sir, and l hope 1t will be soon. The milk bill alone is almost double what it was"
 How much is the child's board?' asked
 Three dollars a week, including his washing
 Very well" I said. Now. Mrs Tate, I am going to pay last weeks beard and week in advance. If the mother comes she is to know nothing of this visit-absolutely not a word, and, in return for your silence, you may use this money for-something for your own children"
 Her tired. faded face lighted up, and saw her glance at the little Tates small feet. Shoes, I divined-the feet of the genteel poor being almost as ex- pensive as their stomachs.
 As We went back MT. Jamieson made only one remark; I think he was laboring under the weight of a great disappointment.
 'ls Kings children's outfitting place?' he asked.
 Not especially. It is a general de- partment store"
 He was silent after that, but he went to the telephone as soon as we got home, and called up King & Go. in the city
 After time he got the general manager, and they talked for some time. When MT, Jamieson hung up the receiver he turned to me.

 Liddy's face was really funny.
 You'll have nice time at your sisters" l went on. Five children, hasn't she?"
 That's it." Liddy said, suddenly bursting into tears. Send me away, after all these years, and your new shawl only half done and nobody knowin' how to fix the water for your bath"
 Its time l learned to prepare my own bath" l was knitting compla. gently. But Gertrude got up and put her arms around Liddy's shaking shoulders.
 You are two big babies," she said soothingly. Neither one of ycu could get along for an hour without the oth. CT So stop quarreling and be good. Liddy, go right up and lay out aupty's night things. She is going to bed early"
 After Liddy had gone I b ighn to think about the men at the sta ble and l grew more and more anxious Hal sey was aimlessly knocking the bill Hard balls around in the billiard room, and l called to him.

 Because I am uneasy tonight" And l told him what Liddy had said ''ls there any one you can think of who could be relied on to watch the outside of the house to-night?" We might get Sam Bohannon from the club" he said thoughtfully. "It wouldn't be bad scheme He's a smart darky. and with his mouth shut and his shirt-front covered, you could mt see him yard off in the dark" Halsey conferred with Alex, and the result, in an hour, was Sam. His instructions were simple. There had been numerous attempts to break into the house; 1t was the intention, not to drive intruders away, but to cap ture them. If Sam saw anything sus- picious outside, he was to tap at the east entry, where Alex and Halsey were to alternate in keeping watch through the night.
 As before, Halsey watched the east entry from ten until two. He had an | eye to comfort, and he kept vigil in a heavy oak chair, very large and deep l We went upstairs rather early, and through the open door Gertrude and l kept up running fire of conversation Liddy was brushing my hair, and Ger. | trude was doing her own, with a long free sweep of her strong, round arms Did you know Mrs Armstrong and Louise are in the village?" she called.
