WHERE CURES ARE SOUGHT
Sanitaria Give Relief to the Suffering

 How much the word sanitarium" con- veys to the average mind Disease and death to the morbid and hope of cura- biity to the optimist. For others a hav en of rest from which one emerges re- iuvenated. The old Romans knew it's uses and were among the first to erect sanitaria for various illnesses. Their famous baths have long stood as monu- ments to the greatness of their physl- clans Enormous establishments known as thermae, the best known being built by the Roman Emperor Agrippa B. c. q, and was probably the first of the san itaria, for the Romans knew the uses of baths and other spring treatment. A famous bath, so Seneca writes, was at Baiae where the wealthy men of Rome erected their villas and recognized the therapeutic nature of the hot springs found there.
 This was the beginning of the system which today extends to every country that possesses medicinal springs or a cli- mate which aids in the treatment of dis cases. NtaE tt t

Mutilated or uncurrent United States gold and silver coin is pur- chased as bullion. The mint has no pat tern pieces for sale; and the government pays no premium for the return of any of its coins or paper money.
 New coins cannot be struck in this country in the absence of authorization by Congress The mint supplies United States coins only and not of any past date. The $50 gold piece and the half dollar and quarter dollar pieces in gold were struck by private parties on the Pacific coast during the 49 period, and not by the federal government.
 The coinage of the following coins ceased in the years named: The half cent, copper. in 1857; one cent nickel, 1861; half dime and three cent. silver, and two cent bronze, in 1878, twenty cent silver, 1878; trade dollars. 1883; one dol lar and three dollar gold, and three cent nickel. 1889.

Rainfall and Consumption

study of the influence of rain bear ing winds upon the prevalence of tuber- culosiss has been made by Dr. William Gordon, physician to the Royal Devon and Exeter hospital. After classifying several Devonshire parishes according to their exposure to rainy winds. Dr. Cor don searched out in precisely which parishes the deaths of years had mainly occurred. ' He found that the death rate in the parishes exposed. ftp rain bearing winds was generally twice as high as tha; of the parishes sheltered from them. Further investigations were conducted
 in nanx other localities, among them the city of Exeter. The result was the same. Dr. Gordon declares that the important point to consider in the choice of a resi- dence for consumptives is the matter of shelter from the rain bearing winds of the locality. exposure to which is a more serious matter thar altitude, charoefer oi soil or even the amount of rainfall.

STOP MOVING THE PIANO
If You Don't Let It Alone It May Lose
 Whole Half Semitone

It is said that the very act of moving a piano around in a room is sufficient to disturb it's torial qualities When a piano has been moved into the position for which it is intended, is accustomed to the temperature and the draughts prevalent 1t should be tuned. experts say. Any change of temperature or movement, may cause the strings to contract or expand slightly with the resultant loss or gain of half a semitone. Changing the posi- ton of piano is said to have almost the same effect as constant playing, only in the latter case the constant action of the hammers against the strings tends to loosen their adjustment and the instru- ment runs out of tune.
 Sea air has also a detrimental effect on pianos. Here again contraction and expansion of the wires are the chief causes of disturbance. Pianos constructed for the tropics are much more strongly built than those used in temperate cli- mates, Wood that is not liable to warp and crack is used in the sounding boards otherwise they have to he brass bound and stayed to prevent splitting.

undertaken and long pilgrimages made to resorts which were renownedaffor the curative properties of their waters. It was not until the beginning of the eigh- teehth century that sanitaria as now un- derstood were built and recommended by physicians.
 In England the famous sulphur springs of Bath were the resort of fashion in the tinies of the Romans. In the centuries following Bath was looked upon by the English aristocracy as center of fash ion of England. The waters are still in use for the treatment of various ail- ments. The sanitarium system has spread all the world over and each coun- try has its own special sanitaria for it's own special illnesses, thousands foeking there either for the sake of their health or to follow the crowd
 Probably the most famous sanitariums are situated in Germany. During the last 40 years German physicians have devel- oped the idea of therapeutic treatment and are now reaping the harvest. The famous German resorts of Carlsbad, Bad Nauheim, Wildungen are known the world over. Here diseases of the stom- ach. kidneys and bladder are treated and each resort has a coterle that swears by tho marvels wrought by the waters. Other sanitaria are in the Black Forest. Each of these has certain curative wa ters. The most famous of the saline springs Is at Carlsbad. Others are at Marienbad and Franzenbad. Here jour ney the goumets, who after years of oyer eating pay the penalty of stomach disorder.
 Here also may be found the customer. whose years of work in the tropics have left their trace.
 Most waters depend on their purgative prinCinleS for a tbprp txEn classes of waters that effect this end, those containing sulphates and those con taining chorides In the latter class are the springs at Homburg, Kssengen, Baden Baden and Saratoga in the state of New York. The majority of the ire quenters of these resorts do not show their illnesses in a marked degree, but at the springs at Aix le Rains in France hundreds of men and women suffering from chronic rheumatism or gout hob ble painfully about on crutches or are wheeled to the springs.
 Hundreds of sanitaria are established through the length and breadth of the United States and like the foreign ones specialize on the treatment of certain ailments
 Unlike the watering places are the san- itaria for the cure of tuberculosis in all it's forms. This scourge. which has rav- aged the world and yearly takes it's toll of human life has been recognized by governments and millions have been spent in an effort to find a cure. A sanitarium for consumptives Is en- tirely unlike that for the treatment of any other diseases. Famous are those in Switzerland. the Black Forest of Ger many, in the Highlands of Scotland and in California. Here climatic conditions play an important part, for 1t is claimed that pine laden air has a beneficial eff feet, as also dry climate.
 The sanitarum building is generally made of wood. Each room is destitute of corners and there is no furniture that is not absolutely necessary.
