 that the matter of contagious disease did not differ materially from the pre- vious year, and was confined greatly to children, stating that a goodly num- Der lived under conditions that were favorable to the propagation of dis ease. Children not only suffer from bad housing conditions and from faul- ty nutrition, but in some eases from lack of food and insufficient clothing. These children coming into the schools furnish an opportunity for the spread of communicable diseases.
 The Isolation hospital had been greatly improved according to the re- port and both keeper and nurse were commended for their work there
 Coming to the tenement situation, bad housing conditions came in for a. lengthy and severe knock, with the recommendation that to avoid the conditions in tenements which render efforts to mitigate disease fruitless some effort should be made to take cases to an isolation hospital for treat ment rather than permit them to re- main in the old places. In the case of tuberculosis, owing to the temporarily crowded condition of the county sani- tariurn, it was suggested that tenn porary pavilion be erected somewhere near the isolation hospital.

TO A WORLD THAT IS NEW
owellers In the House Of Sorrow Must
Be In a Certain Sense
Born Again.

They that have experienced a great
sorrow are born again. The world
they are now in is quite different from
their old world. In that earlier world
they lived upon terms of household
familiarity with Joy and Felicity; now
they must lie down by the side Of sor.
row and eat with Sorrow beside them
at the board. Outward things may as
sert their identity to eye, to ear. to
touch, but outward things cannot de.
ceive the spirit within; the house of
sorrow is strange, all its furniture is
strange, and the newcomer must learn
anew how to live.
The first lesson is to accent the mast
as beautiful day that is done, as the
loveliness of rose that has withered
away. The object Of our yearning has
passed from the world of actual con.
facts into the world OF art. Memory
may paint the picture as 1t will, drop
out all shadows and catch the beauty
OF our exquisite loss in all the golden
glow OF human happiness. There.
within the shrine prepared by Sorrow.
that picture will ever refresh us and
bless US. Evil cannot touch it, nor IN.
WILL nor envy, nor sordid care; only
our own faithlessness, or own accent.

freshness Of its beauty. Sorrow has

shrine; on US rests the care Of this
