Act to Create Ohildren's Bureau
at Washington Passes Senate
and Is Again in House.
People Are Asked to Write Con.
gresham and Urge Him to
Give Measure His Support.

People generally are urged to write
to Congressman Miller and ask him to
vote for the Childrens' Bureau bill
which passed the senate a few days
ago and was favorably reported upon
by the house committee and is now
on the house calendar
The bill will probab be up for
final consideration about Feb. IA.
The National Child Labor committee
has sent out a circular letter asking
that these who are trying to better
child labor conditions in this coun-
try urge their representative to vote
for 1t.
If established, the bureau will with
out doubt furnish reliable Informal
ton which will be after establish
ment almost indispensable to every
ch1ld-helping agency.
A part of the circular letter sent
out reads as follows:
1.-THE discussion in the senate DEM
cnstrated beyond reasonable question
that the bureau will not interfere
with state rights; will not confer any
undesirable authority upon agents Of
the federal government; is not in
violation of the constitution; will Sc
cure information not now available
through any other agency; and while
it will doubtless require increased
appropriations, the increase will de-
pend solely upon the service rendered,
as no commercial interest is back of
the measure to promote it.
1.-The bill is known in the house
as the Peters bill, for the establish
mont of children's bureau in the
department Of commerce and labor;
and if you intend to telegraph or write
your representative you should do it
now"

war on CONSUME
BY St LOUIS COUNTY.
Splendid New Sanitarium at Mid.
way Will Be Ready to Receive
Patients in March.
Building Is One Of the Most Com.
plete in CONTRIBUTION Labor
Plays Part in Fight.

St. Louis county's fine new sani-
tarium for the care Of tuberculosis
patients will be opened and in full
operation by March /. 49,.
The sanitarium is located near Mid
way. The county owns 80 acres Of
land surrounding the buildings and
this land when finally cleared up,
will, it is expected, produce vege-
tables which will aid in the support
of the institution.
The main or administration build
ing has just been completed at a
cost of $4,000 This building will
care for about so advanced cases of
tuberculosis. There are fine wide
porches, out door sleeping apartments
a fine large dining room which will
accomm odate 100 people at once sit
ting, physicians quarters, rooms for
the nurses, quarters for help and a
fine library and general %lounging
room. The building is most modern
in ever respect having been planned
by the famous saranac. N. Y, archi-
tects who have planned most of the
sanitoria of the country.
This building is but the beginnine
of one Of the most complete tnsti-
tutions for the cure of tuberculosis in
the entire country. In the summer
tents will be used until funds can be
collected for the construction of ad-
ditional buildings.
A childrens' building to cost $1O,-
600 is now being erected. The funds
for this building were collected in a
canvas conducted by Duluth women
who deemed, wisely, that the care of
child tuberculosis patients is as i'm
portant as the caring for the older
persons.
The land on which the buildings
are erected is probably as beautiful a
park as will be found in close proxi-
nifty to the Zenith City.
The dense forests are made up OF
all kinds Of tall and massive look,
Ing hardwood trees. A part Of il
has already been brushed out for
park purposes. The buildings and
the location make the place more like
summer resort than a. tuberculosis
sanitarium.
The hospital will be on the cottage
PA0AA' A$O duNItlOIl Will Oe TaCkc0 on
the main administration building. All
future buildings will be apart from
the main structure
Two more cottages are beina
planned each TO cost about $4,000
These cottages will each accommo date
! about 30 people. One Of them will
| be for men and the other for women
These buildings will be erected as
soon as the money can be appropri:
ated. ,-
The main bHiiding will be opened
about March 1. This will care for from
40 to 50e patients and it is stated
that there are more than this mum.
Der of applications already in the
hands of DR.. Laird, the county ply.

sanitarium.

HOW WE SPEND
WHAT WE EARN

A report of the United States
census bureau shows that every
year about $3.50, 100000 is spent
in this country for newspapers.
Other things that enter into the
human life about as much are
liquor and the smokes, about
3OO,OOO,OOO being expended an
nually for the former and about
$215, 100000 for the latter. BY
'smokes'' only cigars and cigar
cites are meant, chewing and or
binary smoking tobacco amount
ing to about Sis, 100000 in adj
dftiOn.
More money is spent in this
country for candy than for mill
lnery, and the total investment
In musical instruments is great
er than that in jeweIry. The
money spent for patent medi-
cines is five times as great as
that spent for perfumes and
cosmetics, and women don't
spend any more for corsets
than men do for canes and
pipes.
