alone In her c-ean. shining house and
wonders why her boys who have gone
out into the world seem to care so
little about coming back home?
Quite as clear and far more pleas
ant is the memory of the home of an
aunt Of mine, who also has only sons.
Tt was a delightful old southern
homestead. filed with handsome old
mahogany furniture that would make
collector of antiques envious. But
often one could write ones name in
the dust on this furniture Couches
and chairs were turned into hat and
coat racks when the boys came in,
tables were Uttered with newspapers
and books that were family favorites
and not only the boys of that home,
but many OF the youngsters of the
neighborhood. felt that 1t was the
dearest, happiest, homeiest place on
earth.
Those boys. too. have gone out into
the world and are filing with credit
high and responsible positions, but
whenever an opportunity presents
itself to go back to the home nest
they grasp 1t eagerly. and the mother
knows that whatever interests may
engage their time and thoughts their
hearts are still in the old home"
INSPIRATION FOR MOTHERS
AS Mrs. Vaughn talks of these
things one can not help feeling that
she is just the type of mother and
that hers is that kind of home.
Wholesome, clear eyed and sweet
voiced, she never fails to win friends,
not only for herself, but for her ideas
and theories as TO what the home life
ought to be. She never fails to i'm
press women with the Importance of
their work as homemakers, and many
woman has been inspired by her
earnestness and enthusiasm to take
UP what has seemed to her a mo-
notonous and uninteresting task and
putting into 1t her very best thought
and effort, has made of her housework
a far more interesting and fascinating
employment than she had ever imag-
ined it could be.
Mrs. Vaughn does not advance the
idea that 1t is all smooth sailing and
that there are no difficulties to be en-
countered and triumphed over Rather
she inspires women with some of her
own dauntless spirit, inherited from
pioneer ancestors. and hips them to
feel that the conquering OF difficulties
and the solving of the hard problems
only serve to give the work a higher
dignity and a deeper meaning.

T. R. HEARS ABOUT QUINlNE
Elk President at Rio de Janeiro
Visits Medical Institute.

Rio Janeiro, Oct 23.-An interesting
feature of Colonel Roosevelts visit to
Rio Janeiro was his inspection this after
noon Of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute of
Pathology and Bacteriology. He was re-
ceived by the director DR.. Oswaldo Cruz,
and other physicians connected with the
service. He was shown through the la
boratories, for which he expressed his ad-
miration, and acquired some information
on the use Of quinine in connection with
his expedition into the interior OF Brazil
Colonel Roosevelt was also the guest
to-day of the American Ambassador,
Edwin V. Morgan, and the North Ameri-
can colony at a brilliant reception.
Colonel Roosevelt. during the course OF
an interview to-day, declared that the
visit of DR.. Lauro Muller, the Brazilian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, 10 the United
States. and his trip to Brazil were proof
of the cordiality existing between the two
Americas.
II was now necessary. he said, for
statesmen to bring about not only an IN

munion. based on knowledge, respect and
regard as we'll as reciprocal esteem polit-
icaIly. Baron de Rio Branco, the late
Foreign Minister. provoking the isolation
of Brazil in America, went contrary 70
this desirable condition. but DR.. LauIo

DISLIKE PHILIPPINE POLICY
Majority of Mohonk Speakers
Oppose Wilson's Plan.

Mohonk Lake. y. y, Oct 23.-President
Wilson's treatment Of the Philippine
problem was both approved and con-
demned tonight at the Lake Mohonk
Conference of Friends OF the Indians and
Other Dependent Peoples. The speakers
who condemned were decidedly in the
majority
Tire views expressed. however, varied
from advocacy OF perpetual American
control TO belief In immediate indepen-
dence The dominant opinion favored
making the Filipinos independent, but
not until a generation or more had been
devoted to teaching them how to govern
themselves. The most radical address
proposed resignipg the care of the islands
10 an international council, and. II the
great powers refused to accept this trust,
turning the Philippines over to Japan.
The most urgent advocate Of immediate
independence was Dr. John r. McDill. as
sociate professor OF surgery in the Uni
yersIty of Chicago who recently resigned
as professor OF surgery in the University
Of the Philippines. at Manila. In his ad-
dress he attacked the administration Of
Governor General Forbes.
He said that he had accepted his Manila
hospital position against his will and
with many misgivings that afterward
were justified He asserted that his resig-
nation was demanded because he had
sharply and deservedly criticised a bu-
reau chief for "inexcusable neglect" that
had caused suffering of helpless people.

Berlin. oct 23.-The Eleventh Interna-
tonal Anti-Tuberculosis Conference was
formally opened by the Kaserin to-day
In the Reichstag Building. the opening
concding with the Empresss birthday.
More than one thousand people. including
delegates and specialists from all over
the world were in attendance. Most Of
the European powers sent special dele
gates, notably Russia France. Spain
Great Britain, Sweden Norway and Den
mark. while representatives of Japan,
Argentine. Hayti and Cuba were also
present The United States government
was represented by unofficial delegates.
DR.. Livingston Farrand, DIR. Stephen
Maher, of New Haven. and DR.. Henry
Barton Jacobs of the American Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis.
The actual work Of the conference be-
gan when Professor Landouzy, of Paris
delivered his much expected address on
The clinical forms of human tubercu-
losls In the different ages"

"Histo-anatomo-p pathological alterations
in the human body" the third and last
speaker of the first general meeting
being Professor Hamburger CVienna)
who stated what results for phthisiol-
ogy are due TO experimental medicine"
The second meeting will be devoted to
the question of surgical treatment Of
the tuberculosis of the lungs" The two
leading addresses will be delivered by
Professor Brauer OIamburg) and Pro-
fessor Tuffier Paris. Later, the leading
questions TO be dealt with will be as fol-
lows:
Influence of Insurance in Anti-tubercu-
losis Works" Professional Schools for
Cured Children" On the first of these
questions a speech was announced by
Lee K. Frankel, of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company Of New York. but
as Mr.. Frankel was prevented from at
tending the congress, his address VIII be
read by a delegate. The last general
meeting of the congress will be devoted
10 a great number of reports from many
world known tuberculosis specialists.
These reports will probably have to be
held over until the next conference, as
the programme of the conference is al
ready very elaborate.
1t is understood that the conference
will completely ignore the treatment in
vented by DR.. F. Friedman which has
attracted so much attention in the United
States: nor has DR.. friedman offered
to make any communications to the con-
ference on his celebrated method.
One Of the features of the opening ses-
sion was the small propaganda eXhioi-
ton which has been organized in the
Reichstag Hall 1t includes a great num-
ber of means and devices used in Europe
and America for the prevention OF tu-

consumption are printed on matchboXes'

the country a sample of the Canadian

nile that 1t may at once be taken up ana
