PASSION FOR THE "PARLOR"
Medical Officer Finds Fault With Gus.
tom of Using Poorest Rooms
for Sleep.

In the course of lectures on per-
sonal hygiene at the Royal Sanitary
institute, Prof. H. R. Kenwood, medi.
cal officer of health for Bedfordshire,
dealt with ''The Home" Much might
be done for the prevention of tuber-
culosis by the improvement of the
home, he said, according to the London
Daily Telegraph. Wherever there was
dirt there was also degradation. But
it was the really invisible dirt in the
form of germs in the atmosphere OF
ground that was the most harmful It
was essential in dealing with these to
make the acts of cleansing as simple
as possible, and there should be no
heavy pieces of furniture to move;
no nailed-down carpets, but movable
strips and squares and light washable
curtains. 1t should be remembered
that there is no such thing as dry
cleaning. busting was mere dis.
turbance Of particles unless damp
cloth, tea leaves or wet sand were
employed.
Was there, he asked, anything more
absurd than to find a little house in a
shabby genteel street with it's bed.
room accommodation oyertaxed and
the best apartment used as the par
lor-that holy of holes, with it's odor
that might be called sanctimonious,
and occupying cubic space that could
be far better used? This passion for
the parlor was almost like the fetish
e the uncivilized.
Direct sunshine, with it's regenera.
tive power and germicide effects,
should not be reduced by heavy cur.
tains. 1t was the soundest of invest
ments to make the home as healthy
and attractive as possible. The cuckoo
type of parent, depositing it's children
at school and expecting them to learn
everything there, should realize that
the true influences in youth are those
of the home itself.

To Train Porch Vines.

One of the best labor-saving ar
rangements is a device to fasten the
strings or wire netting for the vines
of the porch. A strip of wood one
inch square and about six feet long,
with a strong screw eye at each end,
is all that is needed. Drive two nails
into the upper part of the porch, the
same distance apart as the screw
eyes, then after tying the strings onto
the strip lift it up and hook the screw
eyes over the nails. Fasten the lower
ends of the strings into the ground
with small pegs and train the vines
on them.

The government is making efforts to
resist the advance of the rebels. but
the Extraordinarily rapid growth Of
the rebellion has brought the central
government face to face with the
most serious situation which 1t has
been called upon to meet in many
years. 1t has not been found possi-
bie to dispatch any great number of
troops to the northwest. Chihuahua
