REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
SanatorIum Where tuberculosis May
Be Cured Is Worth Much to
Any State or City.

DR.. Fl. L. Barnes, superintendent OF
the Rhode Island State Sanatorium.
has recently demonstrated by some in
teresting studies of patients discharg.
ed as apparently cured from that in
stitution that a sanatorium is a sound
Investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of 10 ex-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to S102, 1852,
and those Of 211 cases in 1912 to s1l2.-
OIL. BY applying the same average
earning to all ex~-patients of the sana-
forum living in 1911 and 1912, Dr.
Barnes concludes hat their income in
these two years was S551.000. This
sum is more than three times the cost
of maintenance of the sanatorium in
Guiding interest at 4 per cent. on the
original investment and depreciation
charges. DR.. Barnes concludes, how
ever: while institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation OF far ad-
vanced cases would be still better in
vestments."

HANDS lTCHED AND BURNED

Abbotsford, Wis.-"My son had &C.

The eczema started with a rash. His
hands were sore so he could not close
them, and when he wet his hands they
hurt him so he could hardly wash. His

would break out into sores. He could
not get any rest or sleep, and his

Lord Knollys, who is retiring, after
having been private secretary to King
George and the late King Edward,
has received many tempting offers to
write his autobiography, but, needless
to say, has steadfastly resisted them
all. An enterprising publisher, from
the United States, once ran him down
during his vacation, and placed a
blank check before him, inviting him
to fill 1t in for any sum he liked to
name in return for a book of no fewer
than $4,000 words.

lars" Lord Knollys remarked, quietly
The publisher gasped. Good gra

then, with N of his merry wrinkles

The publisher realized the force OF
the argument, and was bound to ad.

to induce an indiscretion on the part

1.-THE CLIMATE OF
WESTERN CANADA"
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CAN
ADA'S IMMIGRATION.

A letter dated February 2, 1913, pub
lished in a Peoples Voice" column in
a Swedish paper, while dealing with
other conditions in Canada, such as
grain yield, social conditions, etc.,
says: 1--WE have had fine weather I'M
til New Years, when some snow fell
and it was cold for a few days, but
during the past few days we have
lovely weather again" The writer,
who lives near Davidson, Sask., says
they got from 80 to 35 bushels of wheat
per acre, 60 bushels Of oats and about
90 bushels of fax. All homesteads are
taken in the vicinity, but wild land
can be bought at reasonable figures.
Word from Alberta gives the infor-
nation that up to the 22nd of February
there we're eighty-four and a quarter
hours of bright sunshine, but that did
not come up to the corresponding
month of 1912, when the meteorolog-
ical department registered 120 hours
for the 30 days.
February was exceptionally fine all
through, but 1912 went one better, and
was a glorious month. However, TAX
ing the weather generally throughout
the northern hemisphere, February has
been marked by serious and severe
disturbances resulting in heavy storms,
bad weather and low temperatures in
many other parts.
The coolest temperature this week
occurred on Tuesday morning, when
the thermometer registered 23.5 below,
and the coolest Wednesday was IL be,

February 9 and ST. hours of bright sun
shine spread its glorious rays over
Edmonton, and this out of a possible
total Of about ten hours is something

1t is one Of the healthful signs of
present day building that the interior
arrangement of a house is given more
attention and is considered more i'm
portant than is its exterior appear
ance. Home builders have outgrown
that period when matters of design
where regulated by what the neigh
bors would think.
A generation ago every house had to
have its front and back parlor; the
former preferably garnished with a
round tower bay window arrangement
On the orner and the exterior elab-
orately supplied with fancy orna-
ments, If the building was to command
any distinction at all in the commun-
ity; and all of this was to the general
detriment of the home interior.
A modern house, on the other hand,
is designed to meet the needs of the
family life, providing rooms hat are
well lighted, we'll ventilated, of proper
size and so arranged that the work
of house keeping may be reduced to
its lowest terms.
The architect draws his floor plans
and lets the exterior appearance large
ly take care of itself. Yet, in S ylte of
this, the modern houses planned in
this way are far more attractive in
their general exterior appearance than
were the pretentious. over-ornamented
dwellings of old.
Simplicity and directness are the
two first requirements for successful
design-elements which come strongly
into play In this present-day idea OF
home planning.
In the accompanying design the
most important consideration was to
have the first floor SO planned that
an impression Of ~spaciousness be
gained upon entering the front door;
at the same time it was desired that
the dining room and kitchen be sep
arated from the rest of the house at
times, when a certain privacy there
