Stumped.

The following letter from State Sani-

ton that the Herald editor hesitates to
answer, so we are ''passing the buck" to
our readers Read it closely, ponder il
carefully and then let us, or Mr.. White,
have your answer to the problem;
Boise, Idaho. March 10, 1915.
To the Idaho Press This department
has received several copies of the paper
running the following news item:
"Died Yesterday. Charlie Young,
waiter in one of the local restaurants,
died yesterday at his home on South

Tuberculosis was the cause Of death.
The body was removed to the undertake
ling parlors Of Schumacher & Hall, where
the funeral will take place Wednesday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock with burial at
Mountainview cemetery Deceased was

This is a very important question and
one in which the general public should
take interest. Is it right to deprive a
man of the means OF earning livelihood
because he is i'll? 1t would seem decid-
edly wrong. However, assuming that

earns livelihood in a food products

/ In nearly every city and town, num-
bers OF persons, afflicted with this dis
lease, conduct grocery stores, bakeries.
fconfectionery establishments or icecream
Eparlors. They handle human food they
touch it. breathe upon it and, in all
probability, contaminate it. If they are
textremely careful. this contamination
may not be very dangerous. If they are
in the least careless, then the contami
nation is grave menace to health
Most tubercular persons-like most 9th
er persons--are very careless.
II Citizens purchase from the tuberculai
grocer or baker or confectioner. Per
haps they do not know OF the existenc'
of the disease, or do not appreciate tbs
danger. Children purchase candies an'
other sweets and are entirely innocen
of possible results Is it, therefore, righ
to deprive men and women who are tn
bercular of these means of livelihood2
| When a health department forces

makes him a pauper. This is true in z

then not merely the patient but the Ell

Beautiful Home is Opened.

Chickasha society was well repre-
sented at the elaborate reception given
yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Ben f,
Johnson, at which she formally opened
her beautiful new home, "Dew Drop
lnn." Forty ladies' assisted Mrs.
johnson in receiving her guests and
over two hundred more called during
the hours fro mthree until six.
The rooms into which the guests
were ushered, artistic and charming
unadorned, were scene of rare beauty
IN their festive floral decorations. 1t
was truly May party, and bright
blossoms Of many varieties were CO.
plously used, their fresh fragrance
filling the air. Red and white flowers
were chosen for the reception hall and
living room, and exquisite roses in
those colors nodded from numerous
baskets and vases. Twin vases of per-
feet Easter lilies reposed on the man
tie and potted plants added an effec-
tive touch of greenery.
The climax of decorative skill was
achieved in the dining room, where the
table was transformed into a field of
daisies. From bed Of moss the flow
ers. iauntily stuck their heads, and in
the center OF the table was large
urn OF snap dragons. Birds and but
terflies, almost natural. flew over the
flowers and we're perched in the
plants. A color scheme of lavender
and white was carried out with auan- !
titles of wisteria in the assembly /
room. The trailing blossoms covered /
pretty pergola under which the !
punch bowl rested on table SINH |
larry decorated. A lattice door in one
corner of the room was also adorned /
with the flowers. The colors OF the |
guest room, pink and white, we're car
ried cut in the decorations.
AT the front door to welcome the
callers was Mrs. Roche, and with her
Mrs. Johns and Mrs. Humphrey, the
former introducing them to the host
ess and ladies in line. Receiving with
