GOTHAM BOYS BEHAVE BETTER
War Has Tempering Influence on
Youngsters, Says Settlement
Worker.

New York.-The boys Of New York
have been getting better gradually for
the last ten years. The annual report
of the Union settlement, which de-
votes Its efforts to South Harlem,
where the boys are representative Of
the entire city. is authority for this
statement.
Gaylord s. White, secretary Of the
settlement, has several theories.
Thousands Of boys have been so
bered by the departure Of older BROTH
ers for var service" said Mr.. White,
and the work of the Junior police in
the tenement districts has Quieted an
other large detachment Of potential
mischiefmakers. Things that were
considered smart and amusing have
lost their value in the boys eyes with
the burden of war reelected ell about

You see, Margie, man knows too
many things about women to know
what he should about the woman he

do not think a mans need Of your
presence is as great after he has once
had you as is woman's need of his.
Most men, Margie, must give their
wives the dregs of more or less pro-
niscuous love making and seldom can
a wife give the charm OF surprise.
will confess to you, Margie, that you
were able to charm me oftener by sur
prising me than any other woman, and,
looking back on it, I have decided that
it was because you persisted in being
SO human. You know. dear, that is
the last thing man expects his wife

You can do anything, or be any

Anti tuberculosis Leagl'a
Hears Officers Reports

The semi-annual report of the
Middlesex County Anti-Tuberculosis
League will be presented at the semi
annual meeting of the members of
the league which will be held in New
Brunswick this afternoon
In her report the executive secTe-
tary. Miss Verna Hoagland, shows
that as each month passed BY since
last April the organization has rapid
ly advanced. Since March ISL pa
tents actually suffering from tueer-
~culosis have been reported 10 the
local league. There T from hve to
ten unreported cases for each n OF
these reported. Every case must be
found in order to get rid OF the
disease.
The attendance at the clinic has
been ass; ITO of these came for the
first time. the remaining 21S came for
denomination.
An educational campaign has been
carried on with success by means OF
lectures and distribution of literature
throughout the county. An exhibit
borrowed from the State Board of
Health was shown at six different
places.
The nativity and parentage of the
new patients snow hat t~wenty-nine
different nationalitics and combina-
are represented. The largest
group is the Austro-Hungarians of
Austro-Hungarian p~arentage, num-
boring seventy and exceeding by SIX
teen the white Americans of Amer
can p~arentage. The colored Ameri-
cans number nineteen. All except one
comes from New Brunswick.
Tho league is always ready to help
" q E-lI,-s.- fAA AAo4npsa
directions and to make the necessary
arrangements for admittance into
sanitoria.
It was suggested by the secretary
that the New Brunswick clinic be
held in one of the hospitals. being
more convenient for the doctors in
charge. Owing to the draft examina-
tiops the clinics have had to be post
poncd, which had a a effect upon
the work. Although the site for the
sanitorium was purchased in July,
1917, the league is still without the
valuable weapon to fight the great
white plague.
BY March, 1919, the league will en-
deavor to have accomplished the fol-
lowing things: Have the league well
known to every man, woman and
child in the county: have the building
of the Middlesex county sanftorium
well under way have the New Bruins
wick clinic situated in n of the hos
pitfalls and to be ready to employ more
workers and start two more clinics.
In her report Miss Hoagland shows
that ESQ new patients have beer add
ed since the last half year and that
e~ighty-one deaths were recorded from
the disease. The nurses made 2,410
calls on patients.
All persons coming to the league
for examinations are counted as new
patients and a record is kept of them,
even though a careful examination
proves they are not suffering from
tuberculosis. All suspicious and pre-
disposed cases of tuberculosis are
kept under observation until a def
mite diagnosis is made. Two hundred
and fifty diagnosis were made of
which Isl were found to be positive,
forty-nine suspicious and fifty Mega
tive,
