said he appreciated the extreme need
Of a hospital suitable to the needs OF
tuberculosis people thru a close study
of the situation in La Sale county
both from the standpoint of clergy
man and as a member Of the sanator-
um's directorate
In the appropriation of money for
this institution" said the dean you
must consider two things. Firstly.
tuberculosis is a scourge that is des-
olating our race We find in La Sale
county 522 known cases of the disease
while the state figures which | be-
leye to be nearer correct, fix the mum
Der at 500. In our visits of various
sanatoriums of the state We found
that in Rockford Naperyille and Chi
cagO, these were unable to take
care of the number Of cases brought
TO them
Secondly, the overwhelming vote
given this proposition calls upon you
TO wipe out this scourge. Be liberal
and do not stint with the amount you
set aside for the erection of these
buildings 1t is a case OF humanitarian
need You give thousands to cure cat
tie of a scourge. Could you give too
much to save a human life?"

degree; used until many a time they

points in vegetable gardening can be
reduced TO a rule of thumb which ap-
plies 10 every case. yet a universal ad-
herence TO this principle cannot fail TO
end in trouble.
The cultural requirements of the
va,ious vegetable garden crops differ
in some respects, but three points
stand out as applying TO all. All sorts
should be kept clean. all will benefit
by frequent cultivation between the
rows, and all will suffer if weeds are
permitted to rob them Of their food,
water and air.
There will be special things TO learn
about each, in addition TO observing
the above generallties, and the good
gardener has his eyes constantly open
for these differences. For instance,
some crops should be cultivated more
deeply specially in the middle Of the
space between the rows-early IN the
season than later when they are filing
up the soil with growing roots. Should
the roots be broken off through care
less cultivation. the plants growth is
