Deaths from tuberculosis during
1922 in Rankin County totaled 22;

of tuberculosis in Rankin County,
405. This does not mean that each
ease is in bed, for hundreds of
tuberculosis people never get an
examination until in the advanced
stages.

BRANDON NEEDS
REST ROOM FOR
FARMERS WIVES
Attractive and Comfortable Rest
Room Would Cost Small Sum.
Would Bring Trade to City. Men
Folk Have Haunts.

A rest room for ladies is one OF
Brandon's greatest neds. Very little
cost would be attached to the
furnishing of comfortable, as
well as attractive place, and it
certainly is a badly needed improve
ment One that would bring more
trade to the city. An interesting
clipping follows:
Jacksonville Journal-Going to
town from the farm for Il days
shopping or business is arduous.
particularly for the farmers wife
ii she has no comfortable place
where she can rest or while away
i'm hour Farmers in some Ameri-
can and Canadian communities have
solved the problem by establishing
a rest room for their women folk
in the market town of their district.
The rest room is maintained by
d small tax upon each farmer LII
is all that the name implies. There
is matron in charge who acts as
hostess. counselor and friend A
trained nurse is within call III case
of need. Hot lunches and afternoon
tea are served. There are enough
really comfortable chairs, couches
and writing tables and ample toilet
facilities to accommodate the Wo-
men on the busiest day. There are
cribs and chairs for the little peo-
pie. If mother wishes, she can leave
the children while she goes out
shopping or pays call, knowing
they will be well looked after.
In all the generations since farm
people first started going to town,
how slowly have we come to TINS
simple provision for human comfort!
There always have been haunts Tor
men folk. 1t is time the women
were looked after. A town which
wants to attract farm trade might
take this matter under advisement-
