Stricken With Disease
Diagnosed as rrencitls"-HospitaI
Installed to Treat Clerks When
They Become Afflicted With
Sudden Pains.

Washington.-Fear of the spread OF
the white plague and typhoid fever
were relegated to the dusty past
when it became known that new all
ment had seized upon the woman
clerks of the Treasury. So swift has
been the disease in its progress that
it has been necessary to establish an
emergency room in the basement Of
the Treasury and an average Of five
cases day are treated.
Currencitis is the name of the new
enemy that has spread terror among
the fair clerks It's symptoms are an
acute attack of dizziness. sharp pains
in the neck, followed by severe
headache So far, the medical profess
sion of the district has been unable
to determine whether the ailment Is
conveyed by germs.

then fling themselves upon a couch,

After brief treatment, they would

It was then that Miss Eichelberger

with white enameled cots, nurses cos
tunes for the matrons, and a full
equipment of medicines.
No sooner had the idea been con-
ceived than it was put into effect.
The matron's room was converted
from dismal, cheerless place into a
bright, wholesome appearing ward
that any hospital would be proud to
claim as it's own. Two white enam-
eled cots were placed along the walls.
Waterproof paint turned somber
walls into attractive ones, and the
matrons shone even more splendidly
in spotless garbs, topped off with lace
bonnets.
Then the attention Of Miss Eichel-
berger was turned toward the disease
itself. Test tubes were purchased.

was procured and the midnight oil
consumed. And this is what was re-

by the glare of the piles of simmer

present in the treasury.

fected by many, and falling off in

Lakes Dredge & Dock Co has been at
work some time ago repairing the docks
which were swept away by a storm
early last fall, and had been employing
it's machinery in the prosecution of this
work.
The water was off for about half an
hour. and it was the general impress
sion that the suppression was caused by
the storm. This was not the case. how
ever. the pump having suffered a slight
mishap, which was repaired after
short while.
The lake front when the storm spent
its greatest fury was visited yesterday
all day by crowds of people who had
heard of the danger to the houses along
Adds and the havoc the storm had
wrought. The report had gone abroad
that the South Bay hotel was threat
ened, but owing to the large area that
the Inland has filled in in front of the
hotel. 1t was amply protected.
Several weeks ago the city council
passed an appropriation of $500 for
the construction of breakwater. which
had 1t been in place, might have pre-
vented the damage done yesterday. At
the time the appropriation was made
the mayor remarked to the city council
that unless this protection was built the
city might find itself confronted by
damage suits which might cost the
city more than the cost of the break

caused by the arrest was too much for
the aged man. Death was caused by

that he had been robbed of gold watch

found S122.

been torn and cracked and carried

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation of the Difference Be- tween Domestic Standards Now
 and Those of Long Ago.

In the Womans Home Companion there is an interesting presentation of the difference that exists between the domestic standard of young married women of today and those of the past generation. How did the women of the middle class of a generation or two ago manage when they could not keep help? Following is the answer quoted from a Companion editorial:
 They lived according to their means; they did not set up impossible standards, and they knew much less about the science of bringing up chil- dren. They had no special style to keep up; gave the children a weekly bath; kept the table set between meals; did not serve their meals in courses, but put all the food on the table at once; confined their social affairs to evening calls and parties, and church suppers. at which they wore the same black silk dress for at least two seasons; in short, every woman did only what she could. and her friends made it easier for her by doing likewise"

Walking for Nerves.

The nerves suffer from want of pure oxygen. They run like network all through the skin and when they are overwrought the skin is apt to be dry and colorless. Walking is an excellent tonic for the nerves. It gives them strength to control themselves.
 If one has means of leisure, there are plenty of other more enjoyable ex ereises. But few forms are so bene f1cial as the regular daily jaunt of four or five miles for obtaining a good com plexion.
