NEW CENTURY CLUB

The Fall meetings of the Women S
New Century Club will begin on Tues
day next, with the meeting being held
at the home of Mrs. James T. Shallcr0ss
just opposite the New Century Club
Home which is now being built. Much
pleasure is anticipated by the members
from these meetings and from the Club
House The building will not be COM
pleted, probably before the New Year,
but it is hoped it will be finished in time
to be used for the regular New Years
dance.

the contractor, but but because of the
scarcity of help, is making slow pro-
gress The plans call for a one story

side of the walls will be of red brick and
the inside of concrete. The roof will
be supported by a truss and there will
be no pillars in the large auditorium,
The basement will be used for dining
room, kitchen, dressing rooms, COM
mittee rooms, the club room and the
auditorium with the stage, will occupy
the ground floor. The plans call for a
$4,000 90, building, while furnishings
etc. will bring the cost up to Sc, 500 90
The ladies have about two thousand
dollars in a saving bank for the club
house fund, which they have been saw
ing for several years. They have re-
Gently collected nearly one thousand
from members and their friends, and

FARMERS SHOULD SAVE ICE

The Department of Agriculture ad-
vises every farmer who has a herd of
cattle to store ice the coming winter.
At this time of the year many cream
cries receive considerable quantity of
cream of poor quality because, for
various reasons patrons fail to cool their
cream quickly and thoroughly. 1t would
be a great aid to the creamery man if
every patron cooled his cream with ice.
All creamery men realize the Importance
of obtaining good raw material, and this
is an appropriate time to call the atten-
ton of the patrons to the necessity, of
ice for the production of the first class
cream AS the quality of cream de-
lived determines to certain extent the
prices paid for it, a farmer can well af-
ford to provide sufficient ice to enable
him to cool his cream properly through
out the summer. In an article on
'cream grading" published in the
Yearbook of this department for 1910,
it is shown that in New England sou
pounds of ice annually will properly cool
the cream from each animal in a 20 COW
dairy, but it recommends the storing of
l 900 pounds of ice for each cow, to allow
for shrnkage and household uses, or 1O
tons for 90 cows. Investigation of con-
ditions in that locality has shown that
the average ice house costs less thar
$50, and that the cost of harvesting anC
storing ice rarely if ever exceeds 81 8

LATENA'S CIRCUS In TOWN

Wednesday the town was all agog
with hustle and noise; with citizens
thronging the sidewalks; the numer-
GUS small boys happy; country girls and
their swains pouring into town in all
sorts of vehicles -Latena's circus had
come!
And considering it did not claim to be
a second Barnum & Bailey it made a
creditable showing in its parade where
in were found all the stock features of
show, the grinning, grimacing clowns,
the sorry Roman Chariots (the burles-
que of it would have made Caesar
5 mile or swear; the Gagged monkeys

numbering elephants; the disgusted
lions who didn't think the lean indivi-
dual Gagged with them worth a meal;
the ponies drawing little chariot cage
with uniformed driver and polly, one
solitary polly in all her glory-hanging
by her teeth" to the bars of her pri-
son-these and more like them composed
the parade, while sounding over all the
town were the strident notes of the
sweet toned Calliope, that moving in
strument of vocal torture that toots
out melody with steaDR To tell the
truth though hearing this specimen was
less like the earache than any the

WHAT ILLNESS COST S
Sick Bill Leads to the Plan for
Health Associations
CONDITIONS NOT REALIZED

If an estimate were to be made of
the losses that the people of the United
States sustain each year through the in
adequate care given to the sick, that
could be remedied, the figures would be
staggering
The cost in money would run into the
hundreds of millions. In hours lost from
work that cannot be replaced, repre-
senting a shrinkage in the nations pro-
ductive capacity, the record would be
measured in billions.
Other losses that affect every indus
try, our educational institutions, agri-
cultural production, and in fact the ac-
tivities in all walks of life, would also
reach total of alarming magnitude.
That such conditions exist and are
not appreciably realized, or at least,
recognized as they should be is strik-
ingly illustrated in a recent, compre-
hensive report published by the Com
mittee on Hospitals, of the New York
State Charities Aid Association, cover
ing the sickness in Duchess county, N.
Y.-its extent, care and prevention
during the entire year of 1912 and -four
months of 1918 a summary of which
appears in the current issue of The Sur.
vey.
Figures taken from this summary
show that roughly estimated the money
loss to the $4,000 people living in this
comparatively small county, in one
state, during the investigation period,
amounted to at least $4l2,000. A toll
exacted by sickness of nearly $500 pei
annum.
How much of this loss could have
been saved, had the plans for providing
organized and scientific adequate care
for the sick, which this committee il
COW trying to in4ugurate as nation
wide movement, been operative, ha
not been figured in dollars and cents
but it doubtless would have been a
large as AZ per cent of the cases inves
tigated that did not have such adequate
care.
Another interesting feature distinct.
brought out is that rs per cent of thes
cases in which inadequate care was re
corded, poverty was not the cause. Il
most cases money played no part, tn
lack of care being mostly to the absenc
of facilities for providing the needle
services required, while in others ther
was a surprising lack of knowledge a
TO what care was needed and where t.
seek the service and help that woul
provide it.
AS the conditions found in Duches
county are believed by the committe
to be typical of similar conditions eX
isting throughout the entire countr
from coast to coast, the value of thi
report as a warning to the nation tina
this gigantic wastage accruing fror
the inadequate care given the sick
the evil that exists, and which shoul
be checked, cannot be over estimated.
