LOWERING THE DEATH RATE
Figures Show That Fight Against To
bercuosis 10 Being Waosd
successfully.

We have the assurance Of DR.
Woods Hutchinson, writing In tn.
Worlds Work, that the death rate
from tuberculosis has declined 10 pei
cent. In the decade-which means q
saving Of $4,000 to 10000 lives q
year in the United States. The In
FAINT mortality rate Is falling with
equal rapidity, which means annu-
ally saving of 10000 babies from
those Eerods OF the twentieth CEN
tury-the little fevers Of childhood,
dirty milk and overcrowding. The
death rate in all of our great cities
is being steadily beaten down to a
lower and lower level every year.
The advance census reports show a
lower national death rate than ever
before BY nearly 10 per cent.
The fight against tuberculosis il
steadily becoming more and more q
fight for bitter housing, more play
grounds, better food and more Of it,
shorter hours Of work, decent and
civilized shops, workcoms and fac

the bacillus breeds-tha infected

where We look for new cases Of tu-

THE ATTIC INSTINCT.
Why Some Persons Cling to Thines
That Are Rubbish.

The attic instinct hangs on sur
prisingly, and an observing eve can
tell how many years a person has
lived in the city by merely glancing
under her bed. If there are three
hat boxes one will contain letters,
sone scraps of ribbons and laces-if
it's man It's newspaper clippings
and one anything from a broken
lock to old road maps. If, besides
these, there are bundles of maga-
zines and piles Of newspapers, not
to mention a bicycle seat and a
green umbrella that ore might use
in private theatricals-if all these
things have been placed under the
bed against the protests of the fam
ily, if they are patiently moved
every cleaning day and clung to
through a moving, then their own.
ers have the attic instinct to such an
extent that there is not the slight
est hope of their ever being cured.
They will think from an attic point
OF view for the rest of their lives,
and their family might as well be-
come resigned.
When people are willing to make
themselves disagreeable over a bit
Of string and absolutely objectiona-
bic on the subject of stray pieces of
brown paper they should not be ac-
cused Of having bad dispositions,
nor should they be Suspected Of do
ing it to annoy one. They are
merely suffering from the attic In
stinct and cannot help themselves.
Their characters were formed and
have now hardened for a scheme of
life where certain things were al
ways kept in the cellar, others in
the wood shed, others in the pantry
and the cupboard on the first floor,
still others in the closets on the
next floor, and everything and any-
thing that overfowed from any of
these places was just taken up to
the attic. And now these poor dear
souls live with cellar, three stories
and an attic still lodged in their
and, though they will in
time disappear, like all unnecessary
members-seventh toe, tails, an APP
pendix-in the meantime they are
having trouble with them, they are
suffering and fighting for them, and
t takes serious operation to re-
move so much as one scrap book il
The owner thinks he may like to
read it over in his old age.-Har-

IS HUMAN VACUUM CLEANER
Aasanda's Economics In Limo Of Good
housekeeping Hsse q Screw
Loose

Long before the introduction OF
the vacuum cleaner Amanda had
achieved by sheer persistence Of arm,
the energetic welding Of broom and
brush, the precise results accom-
plished by this excellent invention.
Her husband whimsically complains
that the house is always in process
Of renovation and seldom is a con-
dtion which can be considered COM
Portable and liyable, but he is a mere
man and little can be expected Of
him. Of course, Amanda is i'll from
time to time, usually as the result Of
doing more than she ought She has
headaches, backaches and nerves that
are on edge. Her sons slip out Of
the house in the evening because
they prefer to be where they are not
reproved II they draw a chair from
lts place or leave newspaper on the
aoor. Her daughters enjoy visiting
much more than staying at home,
and her maid seldom remains lone. N
than week or two. She had nine
been successive maids in a single
season Somehow Amanda's econ
cmies in the line Of good housekeep-
ing have q screw loose. She observed
one day that she sympathized with
the women who liked 10 have her
house perfectly ordered and who
then wished that she could take her
family and live in the barn 30 that

Street Lighting.

The streets of New York were
first lighted in 1907, the lighting
being done by lantern suspended
from pole stretched out from the
window of every seventh house.
The lighting of streets with gas
was first tried in 1916 in Baltimore.
At Philadelphia a theater was thus
lighted on Nov. 25, 1916, the first

Illuminated in that manner.
Gas was first used for lighting
