INSTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOLS S
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

years ago l left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but l was
so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
Then 1 changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. 1 lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months. Day

until now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and / feel that !

Husband is 73 years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occa-
sional cramps. and slept badly. Finally
l prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for long time, but after he tried
Postum for few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.

A mad March Hare" Party.

With Alice in Wonderland" in
mind, a hostess planned this party,
founding it on the Halter and the
Dormouse," who were forever drink
ing tea. This tempestuous month is
the time to give it.
1t was a luncheon to which a dozen
guests were hidden. When they en-
tered the dining room the windows
were open, the curtains flying about,
chairs were overturned, pictures awry
and apparently chaos was the only
word with which to describe the
scene. On the table there was a large
brown rabbit standing on his
launches, one ear turned back, and
with wisps of straw clinging to his
fur. The center of the table had a
large straw hat, the Halter" evident
ly. 1t was filled with a mass of spring
blossoms and vines, placed with a
studied careless effect. A wee choco-
late mouse peeping out of the hat rep
resented the dormouse. There were
dishes of olives. bonbons. silver.
china, tumblers. etc, on the table, and
soon order was restored, and just as
every one thought there was no more
mad" about the party, the hostess
said: please change places with
your right hand neighbor." Then she
gave each one a yellow pad to which
a pencil was attached and asked that
an illustration Of March street
scene be made with only four strokes
of the pencil; then places were
changed with the next course, and
four more strokes were made by the
guest who took the pad her neighbor
had left. When dessert came each
guest kept her pad and finished the
sketch which was at the place, sign
ing her name Afterward these mad"
productions were pinned up for in
spection. A handsomely bound copy
of Alice in Wonderland" was pre-
sented as a prize for the best sketch.
