Gan the war against the white
 plague be successfully carried into it's
 very stronghold? Can consumption
 be cured where it fights with deadl1est effect-in the congested district of
 large city?
 | An important experiment, the first of it's kind, carried on last year gives assurance that we can answer in the affirmative. A Home Hospital" es-
 tablished on New York's east side by the Association for Improving the Con
 dition of the Poor, has shown most encouraging results. Patients living with their families, in model tenements provided with hospital care at g. cost much be1ow4that at sanatoria made notable gains. and the increased earn ing capacity of the families more than doubled their average income. When a disease in g. single city
 shows an annual death roll of 9,9s1, as reported by the New York depart
 ment of health, and seizes yearly up
 on more than twenty-two thousand new victims, evidently it creates an imperative problem. When the dis ease is involved with poverty in the l family and consequent economic and social deterioration, the problem be- comes exceedingly complex, difficult and baffling. For tuberculosis is not merely 9, human disease. It is a social disorder, and the. real problem is not
 alone the patient, but the family and the conditions under which they live For consumption is a house disease and the logical way to combat it is to attack the fundamental predisposing cause. namely, the home working con ditions.
 Based upon such convictions as these the Home Hospital experiment wastes ablished for the combined treatment l of tuberculosis and poverty among T. 1F RTorr Move specifically, the object sought is to de- nnofstrate by a three-year experiment that if sanitary housing with ample sunshine and fresh air, adequote re- l lief, including good and abundant nourishment, freedom from undue work and worry, reasonablegsegrega ton, skilfu1 medical care and constant | nursing supervision be provided. it is possible:
 < 1.-To prevent the spread of tuber- culosis from the sick to the well mem bers of the family and particularly to protect the children from infection; 2-To cure those of the family who are in the early stages of the disease; l 3.-To secure improved health and !larger earning capacity to patients
 whose cases are moderately advanc- 1 ed;
 4-To complete, at least. in instan- ces, the rehabilitation eof the family,
 physically, economically and socially. The Home Hospital occupies en- tire section of the East River Homes, model tenements built by Mrs.sW. K. Vanderbilt especially for tuberculous families. An open staircase leads to
 the 24 apartments, consisting of from 1 two to four rooms each, including one | or more bed-charnbers with open air sleeping balconies No. expense has | been spared to provide a maximum 1 amount of sunlight and ventilation for each room. On the roof is spacious
 solarium. A part of this solariums is iresecved for the patients Here in

SHELTON

It has been reported about this place for the past few days that some of the school teachers will not sign another contract. At a recent meet ing of the Board of Education the board refused to allow one of the teachers to break her contract in or der to be married. One of the rules of the contract reads that if a teacher gets married she can not teach. In this case they will not let her break the contract and yet she is to get married. At any rate the teacher has quit regardless of her contract A short time ago Miss Reilly, who has been teacher for 15 years. asked for an increase of $25 a year. The hoard refused to give it to her and she. went to Bridgeport where she is now re- ceiving $175 more a year than she received in this place. < A number of the present teachers have been offer ed positions in other cities and have had to refuse them owing to the fact that they signed a contract last May

Not very many men realize their first vocational ambition Edwin Ar den. actor and playwright, who will pass the half-centurys mark to-day, was one of those who didn't In his tender youth he~Iohged to become an Indian-sIaye and rescue maidens in bandits When he reached tie West, however, he discovered that there was no longer an open season for redskins and that the maidens of that section were pretty well able to take care of themselves He compromised by turning cowboy, but found that occu- patton not so picturesque and allur- ing as it is made to seem between the brilliant covers of fve-cent s.1ibraries.'' Subsequently he was clerk, newspa- per reporter and politician, and a Jack of ali trades. It was as a. ticket seller that he had his first introduc- lion to the theatre, and in the mimic world he found his true vocation. The footHghts 1ured him from the box once. and some thirty-two years ago, made his first appearance as an actor in a minor role with the Thomas Keene company in Chicago.
 Going back a little. MT. Arden's complete name is Edwin Hunter Pen dleton Arden, and he was born in St Louis fifty years ago to-day. In- cidenfaI1y, the Missouri metropolis has been the birthplace of a number of people prominent in the theatrical world, including Augustus Thomas, Fannie Ward, Florence Rockwell, Mile. Dazis. Jane Noraas and Isabel Eveeson- After his Chicago premiere Mr- Arden played in stock at the Bos- tom Museum and the Madison Square Theatre i'm New York. A little later he turned to play writing, and wrote and acted in several successful melo- dramas, including Eagles Nest, g Barred Out.' and ''Raglan's Way
 MT. Arden became a national figure in the role of Mettern1ch in Maude Adams production of -'LAiglon" IL was a most difficult part, but MT.
