NEED FOR INDIVIDUAL WORK
Civic Organizations Have Great Part
to Perform In Creating a City
Beautiful.

A great part Of the task of bringing
back the country into the town must
necessarily be done by local pub
lie authority. To influence them to
do the work courageously needs the
formation Of strong and sound pub
lie opinion. We have to create an
enlightened sentiment, which will give
full weight to the value of human
health. and happiness. After all. a
man is worth more than bank vault
The making Of good and healthy men
and women Is the first consideration
of all.
But public authorities alone must
not be relied upon to do the work
The machinery of governments is too
slow, complicated, and heavy to do all
that Is required in the best way. We
need also the inspiring effect of indi-
vidual work in voluntary organiza.
tons. These pioneer the way long
ahead of the possible action of pub
lie authorities They find out what
is wanted to be done and how to do
it. They educate all of us who take
any part in the work, however small
the part may be. They create the very
public opinion we need in order to
bring about in our cities full reunion
Of country delights with town ad:
vantages.

of its work, the national association
has assisted in the organization of
over 800 state and local anti-tubercu-
losis societies located in almost every
state and territory of the Union. Over
500 hospital and sanatoria have been
established, with more than 10000
beds for consumptives, About 400
dispensaries. with more than 1000
physicians in attendance and at least
$50 open air schools for tuberculous
and anaemic children, have also been
provided. Laws dealing with tubercu-
losis have been passed in 45 states,
and ordinances on this subject have
been adopted in over 200 cities and
towns. An active field campaign OF
education against tuberculosis has
been carried on in 40 states and ter
ritories by means Of lectures, exhibits,
the press, and the distribution of over
100,000,000 pamphlets on this disease.

EVERYTHING IN THE PLANTING
Trees Designed to Grace Streets Must
Be Put Down With the Utmost
Attention % Detail.

Now that street panting season is
at hand it is pertin.St to put forth our
annual warning about hasty and care
less planting Of street trees. Owing
to the narrowness of the parkways,
street trees do not have one-fourth the
chance Of growth and development
found in the open field. and therefore
most excellent preparations should be
made. Dig all holes for trees both
large and deep-it matters little how
large-all trees will thrive better with
increased size of hole. Nature has
been compacting the soil for millions
of years; after being dug up it will
take many years to again become as
hard as before even though no fer
tilizer or other subject is mixed with
the soil before replacing in the hole.
Well-rotted stable manure Is always
a good material to mix with the soil
whether the latter be light or heavy
in texture. The nearer either ex.

VINE ALWAYS A BEAUTIFIER
Harshness Of Architecture Relieved by
Soft Folds and winnings De-
signed by Nature.

A house very often reminds one OF
huge box set down in the midst of
a landscape with which 1t Is wholly
out of harmony. To overcome the eff.
feet of its rising too abruptly from the
site, one should plant shrubs about the
foundation. to fill in the hard angle
between ground and walls. To tie the
house to the ground, in effect, to Gov
er the corners and other straight lines,
thereby relieving the architecture of
its harshness, softening and harmon
izing all, this is the mission of the
vine-nature's mantle of perfection
hiding the huge piles of ugliness rear
ed by man, and which he has deluded
himself into believing are master
pieces of art. Very few are however.
masterpieces in the eyes Of those who
know, and the vine. like the mantle Of
charity, covers a multitude of sins.

COLD in
The HEAD
Is The First Chapter In the History
Of Chronic Disease.

A cold in the head Is the first chap
ter in the history of disease and death.
This has been so often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples of It,
A cold in the head is rarely severe
enough to confine a vigorous person
to the house. AS rule, it ends in
recovery without any treatment. This
has led many people to regard a cold
In the head as of no Importance. 1t Is
terrible mistake, however, to pass
by cold in the head as a trivial mat
ter. Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that a few doses is sufficient to re-
move every vestige of the cold. How
much better it is to treat a cold in this
way than 1t is to allow it to go on and
on for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
effects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for cold in the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that a cold in the head is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head is in reality
case ,OL acute calarrn. III ought 10 De
called 80, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subject. In
large per cent. of cases cold in the
head will end in chronic catarrh. I'm
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps so per
cent. of cases of cold in the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful Of Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom of
cold in the head. Usually where the
cold is not very severe tablespoonful
of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. 1t may be neces-
sary. however, where the attack Is
more serious, to keep strictly in the
house and take a tablespoonful of
Peruna every hour. Younger people,
feeble or delicate women, should take
teaspoonful every hour.

Dancer In Town Wells.

At Towson Md, strenuous cam
paign is being waged against typhoid.
with the result that of 134 wells in the
town only four are to be left open
by the board of health. Is 1t wonder
full when such shocking conditions can
develop that the United States ranks
far below other civilized countries in
its typhoid record?
Some of the condemned wells may
still be used for cattle provided the
pumps are kept locked when the
trough is full Violation Of this rule
will be punished by "denaturing" the
water with coal oil. Water is the best
of drinks, but 1t can be as dangerous
as any and it seems an almost impos'
sible thing TO persuade the public to
take the simple precaution OF boiling
all drinking water or else sticking to
tea and coffee.-Springfield Repub

Queer Ironing.

A writer in the Wide World maya
zine says that the most curious sight
he saw at Cairo was men ironing
clothes with their feet! The men
were employed in the native tailoring
establishments.
Except for the long handle, the
irons were shaped like the ordinary
flat-iron, only larger. A solid block
of wood rested on the top of the iron,
and on this the men placed one foot,
guiding the iron in the desired direc-
ton by means of the handle. For the
sake of convenience, ironing boards
were raised only few inches from
the ground, and, however strange the
method may seem to us, the work
was done very we'll and very expedi-
tiously.
