The Proper Summer
Care of Furs Requires
that they be placed
In a Modern
Cold Storage Vault

Our Vaults are thoroughly mod
ern-containing in structure and
convenience every improvement
known to science. Fresh. dry, cold
air is constantly pumped through
the vault by a separate plant.
There are no ammonia pipes any
where in the vault, which assures
absolute dry atmosphere and air
at all times. Each piece of fur,
garment or article is placed separ-
ately in the vaults-there is no
crowding and pushing, and the
system of identification is accu-

Mental State In tuberculosis.

Doctor Ballet, an eminent French
physician, describes a peculiar mental
state which he has found In the tuber-
culous. 1t Is compounded as a rule
of sadness, of looking on the dark side,
and Of profound egoism. This read-
lily leads to mistrust and suspicion,
which may be pronounced enough to
constitute a delusion of persecution, or
a state Of meloncholic depression.
More rarely there is a state Of ex-
element in this disease. explained in
part by fever. In its slightest form,
this excitement is characterized by q
feeling of w~ell-bcing, which even at the
point of death may give n delusion Of
a return of health. In cases of more
pronounced excitement, the patient
shows inlpulsive, irrational and alco-
holic tendencies.
