MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es- tabI!shment of Sanitoriums for
 the Tuberculosis.

According to figures contained in the perintendent of the Rhode Island state sanitorium, the earnings of the ex- patients of that institution during the year 1911 would amount to over $266,- 900. This Is sum three times as large as that spent each year for main- tenance of the institution, including four per cent. interest and deprecia- tion charges.
 The actual earnings in 1911 of ITO ex-patients were obtained by Dr. Barnes. These ranged from $2 to $31 per week, the total earnings for the year amounting to $1O2,752. On this basis, Dr. Barnes computes the figures above given. He says, however; While institutions for the cure of tuberculosis are good investments, there is good reason for thinking that institutions for the isolation of far advances cases would be still better investments.
 Out of total of 46,450 hospital days treatment given, 39,147, or 84 per cent, were free, the treatment costing the state on an average $2O0 per patient Out of 1SS free cases in- vestigated, 56 had no families and no income on admission to the sanito- rum. Out of 132 patients having homes, the number in the family aver aged 5.2, and the average family earn ings were $546. In 59 cases the fami- lies had no income, and in only five cases were there any savings, none of which amounted to as much as $100.

The MiddIe-Aqed Woman.

Of the many ways in which the mid dle-aged woman may vary the effect of her afternoon gowns none is sim pier than the use of a collar and cuffs of white yoile edged with scalloping and embroidery in a floral design. An other change may be the frock set of white chiffon with border of black malines, and still another is the one of black net hemstitched with silver thread Some Of these collars are so long in front that they terminate only at the waist line, where they cross in surplice effect and are tucked away under the girdle. An excellent model of this sort is of light blue laSn en- broidered with black dots, and sec ond is of white agaric trimmed with tiny folds of broadcloth. alternating with eponge.

A WINNING START A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong if the break pie. What you eat does harm if you can't digest it-it turns to poison.
 A bright lady teacher found this to be true, even of an ordinary light breakfast of eggs and toast. She says:
 Two years ago contracted very annoying form of indigestion. My stom- ach was in such condition that a sim pie breakfast of fruit. toast and egg gave me great distress.
 T was slow to believe that trouble could. come from such simple diet, but finally had to give it up, and found a great change upon a cup of hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream, for my morning meal.
