GOOD WORK IS PROGRESSING
Women In Eysry State Join Earnestly
in Campaign Against Tu-
~bercuIosls.

Four years ago the only active wom-
en- workers in the anti-tuberculosis
movement were a little group of about
30 women's clubs. Today 100000
women, under the United States, are
banded together against this disease,
and more than 1000 clubs Ire taking
a special interest in the crusade. Not
less than $500, 900 is raised annually
by them for tuberculosis work, be-
sides millions that are secured through
their efforts in state and municipal
appropriations. Mrs. Rufus P. Will
liams is the chairman of the depart
ment that directs this work. In adj
dition to the work of the General Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, the Public
Health Education committee of the
American Medical association, COM
posed largely of women physicians,
has carried on an educational CAM
paign of lectures during the past year
in which thousands have been each

Women's Christian association, and

straight piece must be added and d.
vided by a line Of stitches into little
pockets, each n large enough for q
roll OF lingerie ribbon. The narrow
ones at the end show a delightful adj
dition Of a pair Of small scissors and
the bodkin or threader. The whole
article folds in three flaps and is tied
firmly with colored ribbon. The
monogram Of the owner is suggested
as the personal touch always appre-
ciated.
One piece of ~pasteboard will make
the holder for stockings. Cover with
paste and apply the %cretonne, silk or
poplin. Or sew the material as sug-
gested in the handkerchief case.
This straight piece should then be
folded and the hosiery slipped be-
tween the top and bottom. A ribbon
tied over the case and it's contents is
a good finish.
For spools, cut two disks of card
board and cover with cretonne or
chintz. With a piercer make holes
in each and place the spools between.
Run cord through the spools and the
covered disks and knot at the top.
For a little addition to the sewing
basket this suggestion comes as an
inexpensive relief.
All with cardboard as the working
basis! The scraps of silk and cotton
are not difficult to find, and practical
women will always manage to have a
little time to use in a sensible way.

Midshipman Smith, who vas strick-
en- with typhoid fever on the Indiana
at Plymouth, England, contracted the
disease, it is said, from smoking a
briar used nearly a year ago by his
roommate at Annapolis who had a bad
case of typhoid. This theory is taken
as proof that concentrated nicotine
cannot destroy a typhoid germ. The
medical department Of the navy will
examine into the theory with the de.
suit that midshipmen of the future
may confine themselves to their own

Why He Was Sorry.

To impress on young children just
what should and what should not be
done and why, Is among the most try
ing problems of parents, as evidenced
by the recent experience of a West
Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday
she asked her small son, aged eight, to
carry a chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor. He started off
willingly, but in the hall he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utter
ances that would have done credit to
a pirate of ancient days. The mother
was taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy a long
and serious talk on the subject of pro-
family. This apparently did not make
the right impression, for when she
concluded the boy added to her dis
comfiture by exclaiming, Il am sorry
/ swore, mamma, but forgot 1t was
Sunday"

How Lightning Splits Trees,

Lightning makes trees explode, like
overcharged boilers. The flame Of the
lightning does not burn them up. nor
does the electric flash split them like
an ak. The bolt flows through into all
the damp interstices of the trunk and
into the hollows under its bark. All
the moisture at once is turned into
steam, which by its immediate explo-
sion rips open the tree. For centuries
this simple theory puzzled scientists,
but they have got in right at last.

mings for the coarser straw hats are
of the rudest description-wide scarfs
of a linen SO rough that it seems like
canvas, and this patched over at the
ends with one or more bias bands of
lowered cotton. One black hat seen
recently had a scarf of linen as coarse
as gunny sacking and figured cotton
bands in the most dazzling hue. As
the trimming was all very stiff, it was
put primly about the crown, with an
immense tailored bow at the side.
