VICTORIES ALL ALONG THE LINE

1t is good to be able to record that
in the great war now being waged
against tuberculosis there are many
signal victories gained, not amongst
the least being the success attained
in home treatment. This is largely
due to the now simple and practical
manner of giving instruction in the
homes, where formerly the advice was
more complicated, less we'll under
stood and consequently was not heed
ed, if indeed, it were not regarded
with disfavor.
And more and more strongly are
eminent specialists coming to believe
in the remedial value of rest and the
danger of over fatigue, and this is be-
ing made very plain in the home in
struction
DR.. Pratt, who was founder of the
first Church Tuberculosis Class in the
United States in Emmanuel Church
in Boston, claims that in the treat
ment of tuberculosis absolute rest, Of
ten in bed, must be extended over a
period of months, before the consump-
tive should take any exercise. He
says, Prolonged rest in bed out of
doors yields better results than any
other method of treating pulmonary
tuberculosis Patients will have a
better appetite and take more food
without discomfort and gain weight
and strength faster than patients with
active disease who are allowed to ex-
ercise. Complications are much less
frequent. When used in the incipient
stage, recovery is more rapid and
much more sure
Mr.. Ross, who is himself cures,
consumpsive. and writer of cons;lI-
cradle prominence, holds that unless
resting becomes a business to the tu-
berculosis patient, he might as we'll
give up his fight for health. "The peri
cd of infection with tuberculosis he
says, is not vacation. 1t is a TWEEN
ty-four-a-day job. True it is a period
of idleness, but one of intelligent, d.
rected idleness. The days work
should consist Of rest; rest should be
the only business on hand. The light
exercise, or hour Of reading should be
considered as a reward of a good days

however, should be considered only
as an incidental result of the patients

The National Association which has
been looking very carefully into the
power of dust to spread disease,
warns against dry sweeping and
against the use of the feather buster,
or other devices that scatter, but do
not take up the dust.
Since the ordinary dust blown about
in the streets is impregnated with dis
ease germs, this Association urges
the adoption of methods that will pre-
vent the further dissemination of such
bacilli. 1t also urges for the coming
months of fall and winter, more open
windows and more fresh air in house,

tells how good things, fit for giving,
spring up ready to the hand which
earnestly desires to give to the Child.
1t is said that certain maiden of
Bethlehem was so poor that she had
nothing to give to the Babe to whom
kings brought wealth from afar, and,
as she stood, longing and mourning.
and angel appeared to her, saying:
Look at thy feet, beneath the snow"
and To- on obeying the maiden found
that a new flower had miraculously
sprung up and blossomed at her needs.
Every since then, runs this story, this
exquisite flower, with it's snowy petals
just touched by suggestions of pinkish
bloom, is to be found at this season;
and, indeed, it's half-opened cups are
like chalices of love, and it's fully
spread petals are like happy limo

Babe Of spotless innocence. whose
