The officials of museums and picture
galleries can sometimes tell very inter
esting things about their visitors. 1t
has often been necessary to forbid men
and women from entering certain gal
leries where they have fallen in love
with pictures of exceptional beauty.
Men have become so infatuated with
painted loveliness. that they have
made themselves absurdlv conspicuous
The famous picture of .'Mona Lisa
turned the heads of many men. and
some women. After "Mona Lisa twas
stolen, many letters, poems and heauti'
full flowers were often placed before
the empty space she once adorned. Ma
poleon was one of FMona Lisa's mos
ardent admirers, and when he became
emperor and found the picture in thu
palace at Fontainebleau, he had it re
moved to his bedroom, and it huns
there until his fall, when it was takel
T! to the Louvre.

FOR IMPROVED
HEALTH CONDITIONS

Women Of the Colorado Federation
Of Women's clubs and physicians #
the Colorado Medical society, meeting.
In convention at Denver, have pledged
active support to the work which will
be undertaken during the coming year
by the Colorado Public Health asso-
citation.
Tho need Of public health work in
this state was urged upon the women
in an address made by Dr.. R. Q. Whit
man, pathologist Of the state uaiver-
sity at Boulder, while E. L. scholtz of
Denver explained the work of the state
association to the physicians.
"One out Of every seven persons in
your community will die of tubercu-
losis," said Dr.. Whitman. "Yet the
altitude Of the average person is to
let the seventh person worry. The
anti-tuberculosis society is fighting
this disease, but il having an uphill
fight because public sentiment is not
Suu1cleuLly dTVubou W garry OA ING
work as actively should be DONE"
Physicians Of the state were urged
by Scholtz to mould the sentiment OF
their communities to active interest in
the December campaign when the state
health association will raise funds for
its work by the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals.
"This year we hope to raise at
least $4,000 to finance a campaign
which will save Colorado thousands of
dollars in wasted lives, he said. "The
extent of the tuberculosis problem as it
relates to the problem Of the whole
state has been fixed and the work in
each county will be accomplished with
the funds raised by that community.
With the hearty cooperation Of the
medical profession we can accomplish
much in 1890 towards bettering public
health and eliminating tuberculosis. !"

If We can "junk" the Thousands Of

II We can "junk" Thousands Of

If we can "junk" the thousands

If we can "junk" the welfare of
