Nbnitcu IscSS DHN so 'N'''|'
Washington, Feb. 5.-Women are
abandoning their 'lisle-thread banks
and depositing their spare change IN
stead in Uncle Sans postal savings
banks, according to a report today IN
the hands of the postoffice department
officials The report was submitted by
the postmaster at Pittsburg. He says
that a woman recently went to his
postoflice, pulled $4,000 out of her
stocking, and asked for pass BOOK
from the postal savings department.
Failure of banks is also benefitin2
the postal savings service, according
to Third Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al Dockery. In cities where banks
have failed recently, many bank de-
positors have opened new accounts
with the post offices. Five days after
a run on the United States Trust
Company in this city last November
147 new accounts with deposits OF
S15,650 were opened with the postal
;avings according to a report by the

tuberculosis anitariums.

The Department of Health of the
City of New York has published a
report of an investigation begun in
1908 by the Council of Jewish Wom-
en- to determine the status of patients
discharged from tuberculosis sanitar-
iums. The information covered about
a thousand patients discharged from
a number of sanatoriums. The inves-
tigators were able to report on 554
of these. 100 of whom were dead
The results show a steadily increas-
ing number of deaths after discharge
from the sanatorium, indicating a
rather discouraging outlook for the
sanatorium treatment. No satisfac-
tory comparison can be made, how
ever, because there are no data to
show how similar cases would dc
without sanatorium treatment. What
is really shown is that the sanator-
ium helps for a while and stimulates
the patient to fight the disease bet
ter than he otherwise could. The So
cial survey, says the Journal of the
American Medical Association, shows
what is yet but imperfectly recog-
nized, although repeatedly called to
notice, namely that the tuberculosis
problem is sociologic rather than
a medical one. The majority of those
discharged return to conditions which
render the fight all but hopeless.
Dark, insanitary tenements; fatigu-
ing and poorly paid work, and lack
Of necessary care, meet the discharged
patient on his return from the sana
torium, and it Is no wonder that the
sanitary instructions of the institu-
tion are soon forgotten from sheer
inability to apply them. To meet
this difficulty, improvements in our
methods are needed, both from a med
ical and from sociologic point of
view. The necessity of more sanator-
iums so as to provide opportunity to
the patient to stay until better able
to meet adverse conditions is evil
dent. A more efficient medical su-
pervision after the patient leaves the
sanatorium is imperative. This can
be promoted by the establishment o:
farm colonies or institutions where
the patient can carry on his work I'M
der medical supervision. A sympa-
thetic social control is needed that
shall establish intimate confidential
relations with the patient on enter
ing the sanatorium, find out his home
environments and provide for it's i'm
provement before his return, if neces-
sary. This help should continue after
his discharge and should provide for
occasional re-eXamination.

CALEXICO HIGH SCHOOL is
TO BE CLASSIC EDIFICE


$4,000 high school will probably be
polytechnic in its scope and, accord
ing to plans considered last night by
the school board. will be built ac-
cording to a general plan which will
admit of extension from time to time
as additional appropriations are OBJ
tanned. This plan will probably be
adopted from an economic viewpoint
and with proper consideration of the
amount of money available.
Architect J. E. Allison, of Allison
& Allison of Los Angeles, the boards
architects, presented before the board
preliminary drawings of the new
structure yesterday and with the pos
sibility of a few alterations, these
plans will undoubtedly be adopted by
the board.
The plans call for modern school,
with all advantages and means of fur
thering the educational standard of
the institution, and at the same time
for extension by the erection of ad-
ditional buildings. While the general
plans of the architects may not be
carried forward at this time and un-
der this appropriation, the admins
tration building, which will be the
center of a group of three buildings.
under the general scheme, will be so
constructed that the new school will
be a credit to the community. Be-
sides the idea of being as economical
as possible, there are many features
which will make the school conspic-
uous for its advanced scheme of build
ing.
Among the many features is an
open auditorium, built along the lines
of the Breek theatre at Berkeley of
the University of California. This
open air theatre will have a seating
capacity of 700 with stage, foot
lights, proscenium arch and all ad-
vantages appertaining to the use of
an open air auditorium. With the
excellent opportunity of holding open
air meetings in Calexico, this new
feature of school building in the val
ley is considered to be of great i'm
portance.
The proposed building will be two
stories and will have a frontage of
100 feet and depth of 60 feet The
general lines followed bring out an
adaptation of the classic style, or a
modified classic style
The administration building will be
built of hollow tile, cemented on the
exterior, with a red tile room. This
building will contain twelve class
rooms, besides the principals and
teachers rooms. There will be a
study hall with seating capacity
of 200, with the additional provision
of the open air auditorium. Labora-
tories will be provided for work in
chemistry, botany and biology.
The domestic science department
will be an important branch. This
department will be fully equipped.
The cooking school will be fully
equipped and the sewing department
will be given ample provision. Ar
rangements will be made for the
commercial department which will
make it the best equipped in the south
eastern part of the state. One fea-
ture of this department is a minia-
ture bank, modelled after modern
financial institution. Bookkeeping,
shorthand and typewriting will be
provided for in the commercial de-
partment, and sections set off for such
use.

Calomel depends for its power upon
exciting the liver to do more work,

times worse off than before.
