THE EDUCATION OF HUSBANDS

 "Oh, you brides!" moaned the wo- man who had been married for some years. At times I simply can't stand you! You do go around making life impossible for the rest of the world! Why, I labored years getting John educated to the point where his intel- ligence suf1iced for him to ferret out his own shirts and ties. socks and buttons!
 "He was exactly like other men. His idea of going to look for thing. was to stand in the middle of the room, gaze around the wall at the pictures and then shout to me that it wasn't there.
 At first these peculiarities alarmed me. It did net seem possible that anybody could think of the things John went to the trouble to do un- less he had something terrible hap pening to his brain. I watched John closely for weeks. trembling at every evidence of eccentricity, but finally saw light.

eeRMANYs NEW senEME.

With characteristic German fair ness the imperial German government is now demanding Of Russia that there shali be an exchange of pFis6fl- CTS. 1nasmueh as peace has been de- c1ared between the nations and there are hundreds of thousands of able bodied Germans who could be return ed to the ranks of it's army to make up for the great loss that is being suffered on the western front, it is determined to get them. It of course wants to relieve Russia of the burden of maintaining all those who are in good health, but it is very careful to indicate that none of the well Russians who are, held prisoners in Germany will be released. They are being em- ployed to good advantage by Ger manys now and they are going to be kept for the good that they have been doing and that which they can con- tinue to do. Russia is expected not only to retain and care for the Ger man sick but it is expected to take home the, sick and wounded Russians or in fact all those who are of no use 10 Germany, that Germany may be relieved of the expense of caring for them any further.
 A flair exchange of course is nc robbery, but who ever heard of Ger many giving thought to such thing as fairness since the war opened? | has already stepped on the neck o1 that nation and it promises to crusl it still further by taking Petregrad i it's latest demands are not compiled with. This is simply another display of Prussianism which makes it more evident, if such is required, that thu

NO DANGER FROM sANAroRIuM

Try as one will, it is impossible to understand why the town of East Lyme, or any other town for that matter. should set up any opposition tO the location of a sarratorium for the treatment of tuberculosis within it's borders. In this instance, as in many others. it is safe to conclude that it is due to imaginary fears. If East Lyme does not know that the estab- llshment of the seaside sanatoriurn at the former White Beach hotel prop erty win not only be surrounded with every possible safeguard and prove q decided benefit to the town, it will have no trouble in finding out such a fact
 New England states bordering on the ocean have long maintained such establishments for the benefit of the children suffering from bone and glan- dular tuberculosis. A visit to Atlantic City would disclose a large sanator- fum of this character right on the boardwalk X similar institution is to be found at Far Rockaway and if information is correct, at Coney fsl- and These are certainly much more thickly settled seaside resorts than Crescent beach.
 From all indications East Lyme appears to be much disturbed, not only before 1t is hurt but before it has given the proper amount of thought to the matter or indulged in any Investigation. It is perhaps no different in that respect than what other communities have experienced when the location of sanatoria has been underway. but there is certainly every reason to believe that that town will experience the same results that have followed elsewhere which is to the effect that what it is manifesting undue fright about now is going to prove of great benefit not only to the patients who will be treated there but to the town itself. including the nearby beaches. There is about as much reason for claiming that East Lyme should not nave this institution as there would be to claim that a hospital should not be established in a city.

ASKS CITIZENS AID
FOR CLEAN STREETS
Director Krusen Appeals for
Help in Crusade Against
Dust

Asserting that the streets of Phila-
deiphia will always be more or less
dusty and dirty Health Director Krusen
has issued an appeal to the people OF
the city to help keep them clean by ex-
ercising greater care in their dispo-
sition of refuse and waste papers. Di-
rector Krusen also issues emphatic warn
ing against sweeping sidewalks without
first sprinkling them.
In his appeal Director Ktusen says;
Street dust can largely be controlled
by daily flushing. The public officials.
In spite Of the low-water pressure, have
carried out this rart of the health pro-
gram. There remain. however. the pub
| lie sidewalks whi III must be kept clean
and free from dust. Every householder
and storekeeper is both morally and
legally Obliged to keep the walk In
| front of the house or store free from
papers, rubbish, ashes. dirt or other
refuse.
DRY sweeping is absolutely forbidden.
| Sweeping the dust into the windows OF
neighbors and saturating the air with
germs of disease requiring passersby to
hold the breath and blink the eyes Is an
| imposition upon the rignts OF otners. Inc
health menace Of dry sweeping needs no
explanation. The police have been notl-
fed to arrest violators of this order.
Furthermore, the public can help TO
reduce the dust nuisance by depositing
their house swecpings, dirt and refuse in
receptacles OF suitable structure as to
avoid leakage and In such amounts as
to prevent spilling on the pavements and
streets. The health laws make this pre-.
caution mandatory. If every house
keeper abided by this ruling faithfully
there would be no need for placing a
threatening club in the hands of every
police officer.
THE careless public must learn &c
be more careful Persons In the habit oil
throwing things into the street must be
broken of the habit. Promiscuous spit
tiers must use their handkerchiefs."
