TubercuIous Children.

The New York Medical Record,
calling attention to a paper in the
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation of December 10, 1914, on the
need of segregating young children
born of tuberculous mothers, shows
how promptly this suggestion has
been acted on Such an institution,
called the Farmingdale IN. W Tuber-
culosis Preventorium for Children, has
been established where more than $50
children are accommodated. Recently
provision has been made for the recep-
tion of infants under one year of age.
The children are kept here for an av-
erage period Of four months, so that
the institution provides for nearly 600
children year. The scheme of treat
ment is simple: Plenty of good food, a
24-hour day in the open air, an init
mate acquaintance with the fields and
woods and practical lessons in cleanli.
ness and hygiene.

Confronted by a Brawny Tramp.

afternoon was fair, but the farm path
leading up tc. the house was muddy.
From the porch, however, Pearl made
urgent gestures, apparently directing
the attention Of Merrill to package
on top of the letter box.
Merrill saw that 1t exactly re-
sembled the one he had delivered to
Miss Blake two days previous. 1t
felt soft and fluffy and he decided
1t was some article Of feminine adorn-
ment, a lace collar. an embroidered
handkerchief, or the like. Merrill had
heard that the elder sister of Miss
Blake was about to be married. This
new parcel, he theorized, might be a
contribution to a prospective linen
shower.
At all events he took 1t up, waved
1t at Pearl to indicate that he under
stood, and his pulse heightened as she
vigorously bobbed her pretty head
and smiled radiantly.
At the last delivery point Merrill
had picked spray of forget-me-nots.
He released the tiny thing Of beauty
from his buttonhole and placed it be-
tween two letters directed to Pearl.
Then he went on his way.
The next afternoon he sighted
Pearl again On the porch. He hoped
she would come to the road in person
for the mail Merrill even waved the
letters intended for the house invit-
ingly.
But coy Pearl betrayed an inexpli-
cable shyness. She made a gesture
and half hid behind post. On top
Of the mail box was fine bouquet of
red roses.
"Ah, another errand to Miss Blake?"
soliloQuized Merrill. taking up the
pretty flowers. He raised them to in
hale their delicate perfume Then
his heart beat fast Was it fancy?
Could 1t be reality? Pearl had waited
him a light kiss with lighter cooling
laugh, and had flown into the house
as If hiding some conscious guilt in
Q breach Of decorum.
Miss Blake stared strangely at Mer-
rill as he handed her the bouquet.
She looked at him as If misunder-
standing. Then she smiled quietly,
but she took the flowers and thanked
him.
BY this time Merrill was head over
heels In love with Pearl His heart
duttered as he hoped that she was In

The good-looking but modest post
man on Rural Delivery Route 81, Dis
trict X, experienced a token of inter
est and fiutter of expectation as he
neared the half tubular zinc receptacle
labeled adam Foster
Beyond, at the end of leafy-roofed
arcade two hundred feet long, was the
substantial, inviting-looking old farm
house. 1t held three daughters and
two sons. In one of them young
Worth Merrell was especially inter-
ested. A shy, blushing, fiuttering
young creature, the morning previous
she had fitted down the shady lane
to the side Of the mail cart, light and
graceful as some fairy.
He had handed her some letters ad-
dressed to her father and a couple Of
magazines. She had smiled upon him
In way that set his nerves tingling
In her embarrassment she had
dropped letters and bundles. Their
heads had bumped together as they
stopped mutually to recover them.
Then both had smiled.
Gould you-would you-that is,
must get small package to Nellie
Blake-you Knoxville next farm
house."
Surely" assented Merrill eagerly.
II can't go there and / can't wait
to have 1t mailed"
'As private individual I am at
your service" bowed Merrill.
"Oh, thank you'll" and Pearl Foster
handed him neat parcel, smiled be-
witchingly and fitted away like a
frightened fawn.
The Blake home was the last farm
house on Merrill's route. He delivered
the package to Miss Blake and went
on his way, dreaming fondly of the
lovely girl who had broken the ice of
a mutual acquaintance.
Merrill looked eagerly for his
charming ideal the next day, but 1t
was raining, SO she did not come down
to the mail box at the road. The next
