Good wsv to Mend a Rug Fringe.

If your rug has a torn fringe do not
put it in the attic. but mend the fringe.
1t Is very easy to do and well worth
your pains.
Cut off all the fringe, get a piece of
pasteboard four inches square and
wind around It yarn of a 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 yasn 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 end of the
rug. If only a little torn and you can
match the fringe exactly you do not
need to cut off all that is there. This
method. of curse. Is equally good for
any fabric fringe.

1 Is a tar cry from the old type Of
nurse immortalized by Dickens in
the character of Sairey Camp to
the modern formidable product In
neat uniform, surrounded by an at
mosphere Of ~portentous dignity and
authority.
Trained nurses have IA r faults,
just as physicians and cIergynaen have
their weaknesses, but there Is no deny
ing that the intelligent trained nurse
has largely contributed to the triumph
of modern surgery and medicine. Med
Heal and surgical practice would be
one sided and incomplete II the meth
DDS Of treatment, however scientific,
were left to careless or ignorant hands
Tor administration.
How often we have occasion to note
the rapid change for the better that
takes place when a patient Is removed
to a sanltarium or a trained nurse
takes charge. eve though no item OF
the drug treatment or diet is changed.
Regularity and system are largely re-
aponsible for this result, but undoubt-
ssdly there lis a certain value in the
mental suggestion THAN accompanies
the assurance OF trained care and SUI
pefyision, justSas the daily visit of the
physician fortifies and cheers, even
though he gives no medicine.
Nursing insAcute Diseases.
Aside from surgical practice, the
trained nurse is OF greatest service In
u acute diseases, such as pneu-
monia. typhoid fever, etc, when con-
stant watehfu1ness is required and
prompt administration of remedies or

gencies.
Some people are born nurses, which
means that they have clear heads,
good nerve control, presence Of mind
and good temper, patience and sym
pathy. II a trained nurse Is not OBJ

For Federal
 Airship Bill Governor Baldwin Reported to Have Drawn Up Model for National Law
EXPECTS ACTION SHORTLY
Believes Congress Will Be Likely to Take Up Cues
 tion in the Near Future

Gov. Simeon E. Baldwin is reported as having drafted bill which is now before the American Bar association airships. Gov. Baldwin is very much interested in the matter of aerial law and was largely instrumental in se- curing the first State law on the sub ject to be passed in this State.
 Governor Baldwin said the regula- t1on of aerial commerce was open to the States in the exercise of their po- lice powers in so far as Congress did not preoccupy the field, and that Con- gress could not 1egislate in such a way as to prevent the States from securing reasonable protection to life and property as against airships sail- ing over State property.
 While Congress up to the present time," said Governor Baldwin, "has taken no action toward regulating fly ing machines, I look for such action soon. The bill which I have prepar- ed provides that every airship shall be in charge of an aeronaut whose competency as such shall be certified to under authority of the United States; that it either carry a United States flag of certain size to be displayed in foreign countries, or have a copy of it painted on it's side dis
 v. number painted on it that can be plainly seen from below; that it be registered by this number in the of- flee of the collector of internal reve- nue in the district in which the own CT Or charterer lives; that the owner or charterer file bond with the col lector to cover all damages to life or property incident to a voyage, such bond not to be less than $1,000, and made payable to the United States government; that any person claiming damages thereunder may bring suit upon it in any court of competent jur- isdiction, whether United States court, State court, Territorial court or for eign court within the Jurisdiction of which the damage was done, and that the airship must carry copy of the bond, certificate of registration and certificate of competency of the aero naut.
 '1t also provides that any violation shall be punishable by fine of $1,000 or thirty days in prison.''
