FUNDS FOR FIGHTING PLAGUE
State Legislatures in 1918 Made Gen.
erous Appropriations to Check the
Spread Of TuberculosIs.

Out of IL state legislatures in ses-
sion during the season of 1918, laws
dealing with tuberculosis were enact
ed in 80 states, while in "a states con-
sideration was given to bills dealing
with the prevention Of this disease.
This is a summary of the legislative
campaign for 1913, issued by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis today.
Appropriations to the amount Of
over 100000 have been set aside
for the treatment and prevention Of
tuberculosis by the various state leg.
islatures in session this year. Most
Of this money is for the maintenance
of state sanatoria. There are at the
present time 80 such institutions in
81 different states, Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania, each hav-
ing more than one sanatorium. Della
ware is the only state which has made
provision for state sanatorium for
tuberculosis negroes. In addition to
the amounts appropriated by the va
rious state governments, congress will
be obliged to set aside nearly $1,000
900 for the maintenance of the United
States public health, the army and the
navy sanatoria, and the tuberculosis
hospital of the District of Columbia.

MAKE KITCHEN PRETTY
NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD RE.
MAIN UNATTRAcTlvE.
Quality Of the Work Done There
Would Be improved and the Hours
OF Labor Be Less firing to
Housewife.

Has 1t ever occurred to you that
for the same amount of money an at
tractive rather than an unattractiye
kitchen can be made? This part of
the house, where the householder
spends much Of her time, receives lit
tie consideration along convenient or
attractive lines. Why not have it
pretty? There are so many ways it
can be done.
The walls Of the kitchen can be
painted with yellow or Delft blue
They can be finished in wash paint
that is sanitary and requires very
little effort to keep clean The wood
work can be white or it may be a
darker shade of yellow, both of which
take very little time to keep clean.
The shelves may be covered with
Ghite enamel. or oilcloth, neatly put
on with brass headed nails. If the
closet room is limited, the saucepans
may hang from brass hooks on the
walls, ranging from the smallest to
the largest sizes. A series of brass
hooks is placed over the sink like
those at the sides Of the shelves, and
or these are hung different sizes of
enamel spoons, dippers and measures.
The dishpan and drainer are kept out
of sight in the sink closet
If the kitchen is finished in blue,
which is very effective, a roller of
white crash with a broad blue border
may be placed on the door leading to
the pantry. Dutch curtains Of the
blue and white crash on brass rods
are placed at the windows. The kitch.
en- table, when not in use, also has a
blue and white crash cloth.
Underneath one of the windows two
pine shelves may be placed and paint
ed to match the rest of the room.
They hold the cook books, which are
covered with removable covers Of the
blue and white crash.
Window boxes can be fitted for the
kitchen windows, one to hold parsley,
which is most luxuriant, another to
contain sweet alyssum, which blooms
late in the spring, and at third win
dow plain board shelf may be placed
where a sewing basket, book or mag
. azine may be laid. A large rocking
chair, standing at this window. affords
a restful place for odd minutes, espe'
cially on busy days.-Mary H. North.

VISIT TOMB OF ST. STEPHEN
Thousands Of Invalds Gather Twice a
Year to lmplore Intercession
Of the Martyr.

In little church near Jerusalem,
on the site of the ancient Capharga-
mala, thousands of the halt and lame
gather semi-annually to celebrate the
festival of the finding of st. Stephens
relics, to gaze on the bones Of the first
Christian martyr and to beg his inter.
cession for the relief of their ailments.
st. Stephen was one of the discfbiss'
OF Jesus and after the ascension was
chosen one of the seven deacons. For
his adherence to the new faith he was
stoned to death. In the calendar OF
saints he has two festivals, falling on
December rs and August 3, that of the
latter date concentrating the finding
of his relics.
After st. Stephens martyrdom his
body lay long concealed under the
ruins of an old tomb at Caphargama-
la, 20 miles from Jerusalem. At this
place, early in the fifth century, the
church was served by a venerable
priest named Lucian. According to
tradition, Lucian was twice visited by
a vision Of st. Stephen, who revealed
the hiding place of his bones. The
priest laid the matter before the bish.
op of Jerusalem, who ordered him to
search for the body of the first saint
at the place indicated.
The coffin was found and when
opened, according to the chroniclers,
there came out of it such a sweet
odor that no one remembered to have
ever smelled anything so agreeable"
A vast multitude" had assembled,
and, it is said, 70 persons present,
who were afflicted with various all
ments, were Immediately cured and
made we'll again. A portion Of the
relics were left at Caphargamala, and
the remainder taken to Jerusalem and
inferred in the Church of Sion. Fiji
teen centuries have passed since the
translation and ever since the relics
Of the holy protomartyr have been
thought to possess miraculous healing
powers.

AN OLD NURSE

lemon ice. Over this pour half bot

and drink it while the ale is still eff

a drink called Flash from the West
