Funds to Flight TubercuIOsls.

Based on reports from all parts Of
the United States the National Asso
citation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis has issued a statement
which shows that In 1910 nearly $751;
100000 was spent in the fight against
tuberculosis, as opposed to $4,000, 900
spent in 1909. The largest item Of ex.
pense in 1910 was for treatment in
sanatoria and hospitals, S11 1916, 500 be-
ing expended for that purpose, or
more than double the amount for 1909.
The anti-tuberculosis associations
spent s760,500, and the tuberculosis
dlspensaries $8S9, 900. The special mu-
nicipal and state expenditures aggre-
gate $1.750,OO0.
The statement declares that the
most significant fact in the survey Of
the years work is the increase IN the
percentage of public money spent.
While in 1909 53.5 per cent. of the
total expenditure was from federal,
state, municipal or county funds, 62.S
per cent. came from public appropria-
tions In 1910. The actual amount Of
public money spent in tuberculosis
work this past year was $9,267, 800, or
more than double the amount from
this same source in 1909. This fact
indicates, the national association de-
clares, that anti-tuberculosis associar
tions are gaining ground, by securing
Increased appropriations from public
money.

SOFT HATS WORN BY WOMEN
Made Of Ratlne or Velours In Black or
Seal Brown and Are Very Be-
coming.

Some smart, odd soft hats are being
worn by older girls and women to
whom they are becoming. They are
made Of ratine or velours. usually in
black or deep seal brown, and lined
either with quilted silk or sateen in
terlined with sheet wadding. They are
about ten inches high and are made
of a single strip Of the chosen ma
terial scanned at one place only. The
top portion is brought together like
a cone, by means Of four evenly placed
darts. and all the seams are pressed
and steamed so that they are scarcely
perceived. The cone point is then
pressed down like the crown Of an
alpine hat. and a single quill is stuck
in the back of the hat, pointing for
ward. The lower edge Of the hat
may be rolled up or not. Generally a
slight roll is given to the side Of the
front.-Harper's Bazaar.

Due Precautlons.

In a town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge Of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived It to be a place where, If
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled of his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon, un-
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At
the close of the open-air service one
of his admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:
'I don't suppose that you knew that
the editor Of one Of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled of your coat"
IT reckon l knew It we'll for I'd
been told of it," said the preacher,
calmly. Il don't believe he's as bad
as he might be, and anyway, put my
coat on the chair close by and had 1t
right under my eye all the time."-

her. AT dinners he used 70 glare at
the man who took her in, although II
did not make him thin. Bella was
flirting, too, and by the time they had
been married a year. people hitched
their chairs together and dropped
their voices when they were men
toned.
Well, on the anniversary OF the day
Bella left him-oh, yes. she left him
finally. She was intense enough about
some things. and she said II got on
her nerves to have everybody chuckle
when they asked for her husband.
They would say. Hello, Bella! How's
Bubbles? Still banting?" And Bella
would try to laugh and say. He

got tired of It at last. Well, on the
second anniversary of Bella's depart
ure, Jimmy was feeling pretty glum,
and as l say, am very fond Of Jim.
The divorce had just gone through
and Bella had taken her maiden
name again and had had an operation
for appendicitis. We heard after
ward that they didn't find an ap-
pendix. and that the one they showed
her in a glass Jar was not hers! But

must be of leather. This at first seems
an insuperable obstacle from the home

came over.

ahead, "and the longest. Look at that

Cut off all the fringe, get a piece OF

wind around it yarn of color to
match the rug Wind the yarn one
way around the pasteboard five or six
times and slip 1t off. Then put one
end Of the yarn through the end Of
the rug and pull the other end
through and clinch it. Keep this up
until you get all the way across the
