Cured | tell it not as an unusual
happening, but as commonplace in
business.
George Purvis had been hired by
the Rollins Company-a fine old con
Germ with hundred years record Of
success in producing a certain line Of
polishcs.
George had made a name for himself
as advertising manager for two con-
Germs The first was quite small af-
fair. the second was that of brush
maker who covered the cast. So con
spicuous was Purvis's success that the
Rollins Company grabbed him.
! When a concern with n nation wids
distribution offers a man SO per
cent increase in salary with bonus
on Increased business on top of it.,
he usually accepts-Aand that is what
George did.
He went to the big New York of
fees of the company and took up his
duties with enthusiasm. What a
chance to rcvivify the methods Of the
old concern.
Before he had been there week he
knew something of its history. For
fifty years the Rollins Company had
been grocery jobbcrs who made the
Rollins polishes' rs side line.
Then Ephraim Rollins took hold of the
business on the death of his father and
built up the big business every one III
the trade knew so well. "E. r. as
everybody called him, had been a Won

things about him. Everybody is famil-

which he wore. Every can and bottle

George found that just as his face
dominated the package, so the methods
of the dead man dominated the bust

George was summoned he suggested

the monkey. But Billy had a better
idea. lie wanted to catch the black
robber when the black robber came
back to his roost.
IN Billy's pocket was long fish line.
He took this out and carefully made a
loop in one end. He spread this loop
open in the nest, and covered it with
twigs so that it could not be seen easily.
Billy then made a little hole in the
bottom of the nest and poked the other
end of the string down through it. The
string was long and reached the ground.

TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL
PLAN HAS MANY BACKERS
State Physicians and Nurses Cire Their Support Project for
Institution at Byberry Farms

During 1917 the deaths from pull
monary tuberculosis in Philadelphia
totaled 29.S per cent of those in the
entire state from this disease. This
in reality is a smaller percentage than
actually occurred as many cases which
should have been, charged to Philadel-'
phia died in the state sanatoria and
other tuberculosis institutions and
were not credited here.
"a large amount Of money has been
expended to prevent tuberculosis among
cattle, which causes about 10 per cent
of the cases among human beings. Not
so much attention has been paid to
the prevention of infection in the re-
naming 80 per cent"
Physicians, nurses, welfare workers
and health experts, who are much in
terested in the proposed municipal hos
pital, believe that manufacturers
would be active in helping to establish
such an Institution because, state
statistics show, a majority Of tuber-
culosis cases are among employees In
the manufacturing INDUSTRY.
Aid for Service Men
The federal board for vocational
training is urging the project on the
grounds that it is needed to aid many
returned soldiers and sailors who be-
came tuberculous while in service.
| Among the organizations which have
lined up to push the movement for a
new municipal tuberculosis hospital
are: American Red Cross, United
Hebrew Charities, Federal Board for
Vocational Training, Society for Or
ganizing Charity, Municipal Court,
Philadelphia tuberculosis Committee.
Visiting Nurse Society, University
Hospital, Lankenau Hospital, Jeffer-
son Hospital, Hahnemann Hospital.
Polyclinic Hospital, Kensington Dig
pensary and Phipps Institute.
| State nurses actively interested in
the movement included: Miss Allie.

Flynn, Miss Helen X. ArmstronR.
Miss Mae Richards, Miss j. II. Hayes,
Miss Blanche Hayes. Miss Rayer, Mrs.

''Thief! Thief" the cry rang out again
in peculiar voice. The children ran
straight for 1t, and in a moment found
themselves beneath the monkeys nest.

at hand, but now they could not tell the
direction whence it came. 'Thiefl

Rollo's home in the tree. Then all three

Sparkling among the twigs Of the

CTATE physicians and nurses, as well
- as representatives of virtually every
hospital and welfare organization of
the city, are enthusiastically backing
the movement for the establishment OF
a municipal tuberculosis hospital on
the Byberry farms.
A committee has been appointed to
formulate such plans and recommen-
dations as deemed necessary and these
will, be forwarded to the candidates for
mayor who will be asked to incorporate
them in their platforms. This COM
mittee will meet at 3 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon at the state dispensary, l724
Cherry street.
Tuberculosis ranks on par with
heart aud kidney diseases, to which the
doors of all hospitals are open" said
DIR. Thomas Klein, first assistant state
physician. And yet there are only
671 beds in Philadelphia to care for
the 10000 cases harbored here. The
city is doing virtually nothing to pre-
vent tuberculosis. To curtail the dis =
semination it il necessary to attack
this problem at both ends, removing
the infected individual to local hos
pital or sanatoria and placing all con-
facts, especially children, in ideal sur
roundings such as will be offered in a
preventorium.
Law Gives Protection
Recently law was passed making
tuberculosis quarantinable disease as
we'll as reportable one. 1t is not the
intention of the state department OF
health to utilize this routinely, but to
use it when necessary in obstinate
cases where lives of others and espe-
cially children are endangered.
