Kitchen Aprons.

Aprons for wear in the kitchen
should be all enveloping. They can be
made OF gingham. percale or white
lawn. but however made they should
completely cover the skirt, and should
have large bib. A ruffle about the
bottom OF the apron protects the hem
OF the dress. as II catches and wards
of anything which is spilled or drop
ped.
Kitchen aprons need not be unat-
tractive because they are big and serv-
iceable. They can be made OF white
self-hgured percale or madras, edged
with blue or pink or any other color.
4 folded bias lawn band can be folded
over the edges OF the apron like a

CHARGE ON THE COMMUNITY
Care Of Those Afflicted With Tubereu-
losls Plainly a Drag on the
General Welfare.

DR.. II. l.. Barnes, superintendent or
the Rhode Island state sanatorlum,
has recently demonstrated by some
interesting studies OF patients dis
charged as apparently cured" from
that institution, that sanatorium Is
sound investment for any state or
city. The gross earnings OF 40 eI-
patients obtained in 1911 amounted TO
Sl02.752 and those OF 2ll cases In
1912 to $112,02l. by applying the
same average earnings to all ex-pa-
tlents of the sanatorium living in 1911
and 1912, DR.. Barnes concludes that
their income I'm these two years was
1851 900 This sum is more than three
times the cost OF maintenance OF the
BanatOrum, including interest at
per cent. on the original investment
and depreciation charges. DIR. Barnes
concludes, however, while institu-
tions for the cure OF tuberculosis are
good investments, there is good rea-
son for thinking that institutions for
the isolation OF far advanced cases
would be still better investments"

Today we complete our toilette with

However, It must come down and be
disposed of in some manner.
Those heading the project for its
preservation are favorably impressed
by a plan prepared by Reinhardt
Dempwolf of this city, who is chairman
of the southern Pennsylvania chapter
of the American Institute Of Architects
upon preservation OF historical monu-
ments. Mr.. Dempwolf's idea is to re-
build the brick tower OF practically
the same height as az present, sur
rounding the base by a portico which
can at the same time act as the base
OF the monument and buttress TO the
tower. The walls OF the tower under
the portico would bear inscriptions
either In bronze or marble. The In
terror would have a stairway for ac-
cess TO the belfry and clock. The
probable cost is estimated at from &c.
500 to $500, with probably $3.50 an
nually for maintenance. Such mon
ument. placed upon old Penn common,
would be. it is believed, fitting me-
mortal to Yorks position in colonial
history.
