AS "CURE GUEST" AT CARLSBAD.
How He Who Signifies His Intention

Carlsbad to recuperate is the routine
of health made easy. For Carlsbad is

gay throng though somewhat temper

six. and the cup of water at the Spru-
del succeeds the glass uplifted at the
cafe. Worry as to what to do there is
none. The butcher. the baker and the
rest all have their positive directions as
to quality and kind of provision to
make for the guests. The kitchen at
ones hotel is subject to the inspection
and control of the Medical Society oil
Carlsbad and the cure guest re-
ceives only cure diet. He is moi tempt
ed to break rules. His striving to be
properly abstemious is not permitted
to lilch away half the benefit of his
self-denial If the doctor discovers
that there is too much starch in the
bread, the bakery is closed. inspectors
stationed upon every road leading into
Carlsbad cast the eye of suspicion and
of science on every vendor of milk who
directs his steps toward the city. 70

same strictness applies. And one comes
to table to discover his rolls encased
in tissue, bearing the breads formula

than the cure at Carlsbad. of course,
ami those who choose to pursue them
are not hndered. The cure guest,
however, is singled out as man or
woman upon whom the hygienic life
shall descend to enfoId completely, and
q thousand attentions are not too many
to assure to him the path of health.

BATHS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Educators Declare for Bodily Cleanli-
ness in Advance of Learning.

Members of the American Associa-
ton for Promoting Hygiene and Public
Paths. in session here, heard addresses
by Gov. Goldsborough, Prof William
H. Welch OF Johns Hopkins University.
and DR.. Simon Baruch, president of
the association
DR. Barueh dwelt on the fact that
property seems To be more valued than
health in this country. He said that
while the average cities spend 80 cents
a person yearly for their health activi-
ties, they average nearly 81 each FOR
fire protection. Speaking on School
Baths" he said:
Religious, sociological, and histori-
cal facts show that baths present an
educational factor that is above the
highest valua ton and far in excess of
learning. During the last five years
nearly 4,0O0000 of baths were given to
scEcol children in New York, besides
the large number taken in the recrea-
ton ccnters. The city financial authori-

COburn Classical 3==
Maine Central 0.

Scarcely had the news spread about
the city that Wateryille High had
triumphed over Good VIII when the
bell On Coburn Classical Institute
peeled forth Il merry tune which
seemed to say We've won again;
we've won again and so Coburn had.
for another victory was added to its
fast increasing list by administering a
dc1cat and shut-out to the strong
Maine Central Institute team by the
score Of to 0. The game was marked
With almost faultless fielding. Each
side made but two errors. and in each
instance one was an overthrow. AT
the opening of the game it looked as
though the Pittsfield boys would be
the first to score. but in both the first
and second inning man died on
third. Not again until the seventh
did they threaten the plate with q.
tally. and even then their efforts
awaited naught, for they were unable
to bunch hits at epportune times.
Beleer opened the game for the local
team. but he showed a tendency to be
wild and WAS replaced by Williams in

The local boys got their other score
in the eighth when Mccormick got Il

Hurd's wild throw of Frasers ground

batting of Mccormick, Palmer and
Belger and the pitching of Buckland.

The First SEWING Machines.

The earliest attempt at sewing by
machinery of which there Is any au-
tbentie record was in 1855. in which
year a machine was patented in Eng
land by Charles F. Wesenthal. In
this machine the stitch was formed by
needle, having two. points with an
eye at midlength, which passed COM
pletely through the goods in imitation
of hand sewing.
This was followed by an English pat
ent dated July II. 1890, granted to
Thomas Saint, for a machine that en-
bodied several features which are en-
ployed in the modern sewing machine.
namely, an overhanging arm. hori-
zontal cloth plate, a vertically recIpro-
eating needle, and a feeding device.
The needle, notched at the lower end,
rushed a loop of thread through hole
previously made by an awl. The loop
thus formed was held beneath the
goods and the next loop was passed
through it, thus making what is known
as the chain stitch.
III 1904 an Englshman named Dun
can made a chain-stitch machine that
employed two hooked needles, and In
1880 a French mar named Bartheiemy
Thimonnier invented machine when
embodied the Saint principles with the
exception that the loop Of thread was
pulled instead of pushed through the

French Tobacco Profits.

II is said that the French tobacco
MONOPOLY has netted nearly s3,Vpoeoo
go0 IN the one hundred years OF SO dur
inc which it has been in existence.
on December %. 1910, a decree issued
av Napoieon created the Tobacco Reggie
and reserved to the national govern
u,ent a monopoly of the importation,
rnanufacture and sale of tobacco in All
its forms. 1t was estimated that this
monopoly would add s8.000,000 francs
to the annual receipts from taxation
While this expectation was not I'M
mediately realized, few years later
the estimate was more than met. The
rove mics from that source have con-
t,nucd to increase as the practice OF
smoking has become more general and
the consumption of highgrade cigars
and cigarettes has been augmented
with the Increased luxury of hvins.
Then. too, there must be considereu
the constantly increasing number OF
foreigners who reside more or less per-
in France.
From 1911 to 1914 the revenue from
the Reggie averaged 6S,oV9.ooo francs

approximated s95,o0o.oee.
There must be added to this the an

the monopoly of the manufacture ana

evident that the revenues winch are
