through his courtesy the Sheaf has
been shown an advance report of the
work of the institution during the past
year, submitted by Karen Nj. Knudsen,
the superintendent
From the report we CLEAN that the
total cost Of maintenance for the year
was $19,11129 and the daily average
cost for each patient was $2.37 The
cost to the counties for free patients,
that is, patients without means who
must be cared for in the sana torium at
public expense, was; $166, the state
contributing So per capita per week to-
ward their support. Pay patients are
charged 81 per week for their care, the
counties paying the balance Of the cost
namely, $1.37 per capita per day. The
expenses of the Sanatorium Commis-
sion for the year total only $1O1. .54

their reward in the satisfaction that
comes from doing good.

93 patients admitted OF these, SO pa-
tients were admitted during the past

II were from Marshall county, 8 from
eRoseau county, II from Pennington
county and from Kittson, county %

1 part pay patient The average daily
number, Of patients cared for is %: the
capacity Of the sanatorium is 25 pa
tients. hence it has been filled most of
the time up to its capacity and most
of the time has a waiting list
The sanatorium surely is doing a
valuable work in helping to eradicate
this dreaded disease from this section
of the state. The schools. also. are as
sisting in the good work But one of
the most important and effective of all
the activities for eradicating the dis
ease is the tuberculosis clinic, such as
We're held in Marshall county last year.
A total of eight clinics showed over 800
applicants appearing for examination
or advice. This response was in q
great measure due to the pre-clinic
efforts of Miss Elizabeth Hanson. R. n,

Delivery of Mail

1t is up to the jewellers in the country
to see that the paths to the mail box
are free and clear, not only from the
house, but from the roads, since every
rural carrier is under orders not to
break any roads and not to leave his
vehicle The rule also applies to the
city delivery service that city carriers
are not obliged to deliver mail at resi-
dences where the patron has failed to
clear away the snow. If you fail to
receive your daily paper or letters
from your friends, the reason may be
that you have failed to do your part.

Shoe Mendinq at Home.

maker or "cobbler" has seriously af-
fected domestic convenience in many
rural districts.
His Importance is suddenly recog-
nized and his loss has, in several iso-
lated midland hamlets, given a re-
markable stimulus to sho@mending at
home.
Technical classes in selling, heeling
and patching have been arranged, and
country women are rapidly acquiring
the art Of cobbling. Lady Petre de-
clares tina. 1t should be as natural to
do this at home as to darn stockings.
