Chicago Inter Ocean. The Flag o
our country is a great deal in OIL
thoughts these days. Every gooc
American wishes to do honor to the
Stars and Stripes at every opportuni
ty. We all know the feeling. but dc
we know the form? James H. Chan
non Of Chicago furnishes the follow
ing facts concerning the use and sa-
lutte Of the flag:
Holidays when the flag should be
displayed at full staff are:
.Ljncoln's Birthday, Feb. H.. .e.f
WasEington's Birthday, Feb. %.
Battle OF Lexington, April 19.
Memorial Day, May 80.
Flag Day, June A.
Battle of Bunker Hill. June II.
independence Day, July 4.
Battle of Saratoga, Oct. II.
Surrender Of Yorktown, Oct. 10.
Evacuation Day. Nov, %.
On Memorial Day, May 80, the flag
should fly at half stan from sunrise to
noon and full staff from noon to sun
set.
In order to show proper respect for
the flag the following ceremony
should be observed:
1t should not be hoisted before sun
rise nor allowed to remain up after
sunset.
At Retreat" sunset, civilian spec
tators should stand at attention" and
uncover during the playing Of the
"Star-Spangled Banner" Military
spectators are required by regulation
to stand at attention" and give the
military salute. During the playing
of the National Hymn at Retreat
the flag should be lowered, but not
then allowed to touch the ground.
When the National Colors are pass
ing on parade, or in review, the spec
tator should, if walking, halt, and #
sitting, arise, and stand at attention"
and uncover.
When the national and state or otf-
er flags fly together the National Flag
should be placed on the right.
When the flag is flown at half staff
as sign of mourning 1t should be
hcisted to full staff at the conclusion
of the funeral. In placing the flag at
half staff it should first be hoisted to
the top of the stan and then lowered
to position, and preliminary to lower
ing from half staff 1t should be first
raised to the top.

Many a mother who has been urged
to submit to an operation to restore
her to the health which Is necessary
for proper care of her family has been
distracted at the thought of being
obliged to go to a hospital and leave
her children without proper care dur
ing her absence. Especially is this
true among the very poor, where
most of the relatives, male or female,
leave to go out to work, or, perhaps,
have large families of their own to
feed.
To meet this emergency an excel.
lent charity is being financed by some
wealthy women in Gotham, who have
established a nursery where young
sters ranging from few months to
five or six years can have trained
care while their mothers, with easy
minds, are trying to regain their own
strength.

NO TRUTH IN OLD STORY
oliver GoIdsmlth's Dead BLY, Never
In Danger Of Being Seized by
His Creditors.

More or less credence has always
seemed to be given to the story that
Goldsmith's debts disrupted the ar
rangements made for his funeral. His
biographers have not been above
dwelling on this unhappy report. Now
comes Case and Comment with the
legal side of It. and makes out what
appears to be clear case. A public
funeral in Westminster abbey was de-
signed, the pall-bearers had been Sc
ected from the distinguished circle to
which Goldsmith belonged and then
the rapidly maturing arrangements
came to a sudden halt The public
funeral was given up without explana-
lion. The burial took place simply,
almost secretly, in the ground of
the Temple church. None OF the old
literary friends was present. This
strange change in procedure has been
explained by the statement that
friends feared that creditors would in.
eerfere with the public funeral by
selling the body. a right which 1t is
alleged the creditors had under the
law at that time. This explanation
has been reiterated until 1t is quite
generally believed As a matter of
fact the story is without foundation,
because the law of England never
gave right OF this nature to cred
tors. The story has also been quite
industriously circulated about Richard
Brinsley Sheridan. who likewise died
heavily in debt. Whatever 1t was that
changed the arrangements of a public
funera' for oliver Goldsmith, 1t may
be safely asserted as a legal propo-
sition that there was not any likeli.
hood that the dead body would be
seized by creditors. Goldsmith was
buried by his lawyer friends and
neighbors within the boundaries of
their own domain. He hat lived his
happiest days among them, and 1t was
after all more fitting that he should
lie down to his long rest in the midst
OF them, rather than in a garish and
splendid tomb in Westminster abbey.

The old-time belief that tuberculosis
was hereditary is now known to be
unfounded. Unless it is communicat.

disposes him to afford a ready lodg-

through the air we breathe, the food

through these carelessly scattered
germs-oftenest from the dried spit

Whole tribes and nations have been
known to be free from tuberculosis
until some traveller brought it to them,
perhaps unconsciously in his own
sputa, or in the clothing or bedding,
it may be, OF some companion who
had died of it.
A secondary source of the disease
is found in the fact that the tuber-
culosis of animals is very nearly the
same as that In man, and so it may be
communicated through the eating of
milk or meat of infected animals. In
innate association with a person hav-

ease have occurred, without the OBJ
servance of modern sanitary precau-
lions have often become effective in

The impression that tuberculosis
prevails chiefly in the cities is an I'M
founded delusion. 1t is quite natural
that such an impression should pre-
vail, for we are accustomed to asso-
ciate with country living, an abun-
dance of pure. fresh air, plenty OF
room, indoors and an unconstrained
observance of the laws Of health. But
the actual conditions are found to be
so often at variance with this ideal
as to compel even the most jealous
advocates of country living to admit
that the mere fact of ones living in
the country is no security against con-
