DIR. GRANDN1A'S 0. X,


My grandma is doctor.
You bet she is O. X!
don't care what those other quacks
From college have to say.
Her garnet is a drug store.
1t smells just awful sweet
With herbs a-hangin' all around
In punches done up neat.
There's pennyroyal and boneset
To take when you catch cold.
And sage to put upon your head
When your hair doesn't hold.
There's wintergreen for backache
And horehound for snceze.
There's sassafras to cure the boils
When you cant sit with ease.
There's peppermint and catnip
To take for stomach ache.
They're awful good to fix you up
When you eat too much cake.
don't remember all the herbs
That hang upon the wall.
know they cannot kill me,
For l have tried them all.
The funny thing about it
There is no doctor bill.
Just get cured for nothin'
Whenever 1 am i'll.
Indeed, my grandma doctor
Just hugs me awful close
And pays a kiss and nickel
For takin' every dose.

Open Air Schools Show Rapid
Growth.

Growth.
With the opening of the fall school
term, over 200 open air schools and
fresh air classes for tuberculosis, and
anaemic children, and also for all
children in certain rooms and grades,
will be IN operation in various parts of
the United States, according to a state
ment published today by The National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis.
All of these schools, the association
says, have been established since Janu
airy, 1907, when the first institution of
this character was opened in Provi-
dence, r. l. On January 1st, 1910,
there were only 13 open air schools in
this country and year later the num-
Der had increased only to 29. Thus, the
real growth in this movement has been
with the last two years.
Massachusetts now leads the states
with sc fresh air schools and classes for
tuberculous, anaemic and other school
children, Boston alone haying over
eighty. New York comes next with 20,
and Ohio is third with q. Open air
schools have now been established in
nearly so cities in 10 different states.
Based on figures of population and
mortality furnished by the United
States bureau of the census, it is es-
timated that not less than 100 900
children now in school in the United
States will die of tuberculosis before
they are eighteen years of age, or that
about 1000 of these children die an
nually from this one disease Estimat-
ing that on an average each child who
dies from tuberculosis has had six years
of schodtpg, the aggregate loss to this
countrlnJ wasted education each year
amouSs I'd well over 81, 900, OOO
Thi los1 and much of the incident
suffering you'd be materially decreased
if open ain schools or classes for these
children GAd those who are sickly and
anaemic were provided The National
association estimates that there should
be one such school for every %, 600 pop
ulation, especially in cities.

Change in Lighting System

The Putnam Light X Power Compa. ny gave a demonstration of a new lighting system in Union Square Tues day night that will give the business section more uniform and bril- liant illumination. The test was watched by city officials and it was considered such decided improvement over the old method that the company was re- quested to make the change as soon as convenient. The new system will cause no expense but if anything will be a little cheaper although giving bet ter service.
 The test made in the Square utilized hve 60-candle-power and one 350-can- dle-power Tungston lights. They were switched on and off alternately with the old are light system and the differ ence was at once apparent. The Square was brilliantly lighted with the new system and those who watched the test were much pleased.
 From the Square to Bridge street the arc lights will soon be chan ged to the new 35O-candle power Tungstons. Be- sides the more brilliant, more uniform light given by these lamps other ad- vantages are that they last longer, keep free from bugs, do not blacken, and flicker less than the old arcs.
 Other changes are contemplated bat have not been definitely decided upon as yet. The company's manager stated that il was the company's wish to give the city good system and al- though it might cost the company a little more than formerly the company would be satisfied If the citizens were satisfied and appreciated the improv- ed lighting conditions.
 One of the $50 candle-power lamps was installed at the corner of Bridge and Church streets some weeks ago and it was In part due to the satisfac- tion this light gave that led up to the change decided upon.

BARON FINDS A BRIDE
Rebuffed in Frisco, He Turns to
Pittsburgh and Succeeds
tBy Telegram 10 The Trihnne l

san Francisco, May 5.-Baron Hans Won
Baldipger Seidenberg, godson of tho King
OF Wurtemberg and son Of the Comtesse
de Nalois de Stremis, is to marry Miss Eva
O'Neill. of Pittsburgh. The baron made
his home here for more than a year, and
when he went East few months ago local
society understood that his absence would
be temporary.
The preceding baron, father OF the pres
ent baron, was a man OF great wealth, and
was hofmarschall to the King Of WUrtem-
berg. The son had heard of the beautiful
women in California and decided that San
Francisco would be just the place to get a
baroness who would make the family castle
at Stuttgart look like real home.
Although extensively entertained by his
German friends after arriving here he was
sadly overlooked when the invitations went
out 10 affairs in the realm of high society.
This spoiled his plan Of campaign, and a
month or so ago he found himself past his
twenty-ninth birthday and still single. An
other and last attempt was made TO force
the inner circle. but the baron was again
rebuffed. lie then decided that California
was not yet old enough to appreciate reg
ular Old World titles, and paying his hotel
bill and packing his sixty-seven suits In
thirty-two trunks, he took train for Pitts
burgh.
There he was received with open arms.
A few days ago there came letter from
him, announcing his engagement to Miss
Eva ONeill. of Pittsburgh Just as soon
as lie adjusts his financial affairs he will
return TO Pittsburgh and he married.
