ements, has taught, according to a re-
port issued by the organization last
night,
The average living expenses per fam
ily of five individuals of 3.3 units, for
233.37 days, the average residence in
the hospital during the year was $5S4.33,
making daily expense per family OF
$4,000, or S9l2.50 a year. As these fig
ures are exhaustive of the cost of adj
ministration and supervision and as the
living afforded had not the least re-
semblance OF luxury, the association be-
lieves it furnishes fair basis for COM
putting the cost of maintaining de-
cent home and providing comfortable
living for an average family OF five per-
sons, father, mother, and three chill
dren under IA years of age, in New York
City at the present time.
In the daily budget of an average
family based on its observations, the
association allows 65 cents for rent and
Sl29 for food. Clothing is given at 43
cents per day and miscellaneous items
bring the daily total to $2.S61a or ST.
0s2.25 per year for family of five.

Fannie A. Chalmers, eldest daughter of

What Home Women Can Learn from
Business Women.

In the February Woman's Home Com
panion appears very interesting discus
sion of women in business. The follow
ing extract gives an idea of the num-
Der of American women in business and
suggestion of what these women can
contribute to the making of homes:
Most women wage earners enter the
field of self-support just to help. Be
fore they are ready to marry or because
no one asks them, they feel the need
of assisting father and mother with the
financial burden, or giving the younger
folk lift, or at least relieving the par
ents of the burden of support. The girl
goes to work for these reasons, and
continues to work until, or unless, she
marries. The theory that a girl must
stay at home until she is chosen or left
is so far relegated to the past that only
those who are out of touch with the real
conditions of life would dream OF ad-
vaneing it.
There are said to be 100000 self
supporting Nomen in America. One
woman out of four is a wage Garner in
this country. and an even greater pro-
portion in England. Their numbers and
their success have turned the eyes of
the world upon them. They are inspect

tured about, exploited. made the subject
of stories-in fact, looked upon as an
alien race. Why shouldn't the home
women and the wage-earning women get
together for their mutual advantage7
There are some things the business
women can teach the home women The

and organization. Many

and with more leisure for those who run

Incision by the Attending
Physician.

Hartford. Conn, Feb. 9.-Henry Long,
IA years old, of South Manchester, was
reported in critical condition at the
Hartford hospital yesterday, the vic
tim OF compulsory vaccination order
issued by the town health board, three
weeks ago when a case of smallpox was
discovered in the ninth district school OF
Manchester.
The theory Of the physician at the
hospital is that his Undertaking in
fected the vaccine incision and that the
wound healed with the foreign matter
beneath. Several days ago, the boys
mouth began closing and for several
DAYS it has been impossible for him to
take anything but liquid food. The
thing that especially puzzles the doctors
is that the infection took two weeks to
make itself apparent.
