' There are several plans by which the victim of tuberculosis may con­ tinuously breathe pure, fresh air by night as well as by day. Sleeping out in , the open air is not harmful to a large majority of tuberculous people. AUllet, of Brockton, Mass., reports tile cases of fiv# patients whom he 'recommended to sleep out of doors at «lfeht. They were allow 3d no roof ©vef 'their heads except ie rainy weather., They wore soft felt hats and cotton nightshirts, sleeping under ordinary bedclothes in beds arranged On the roofs Of their houses. Im­ prove tuefit was noted in two weeks. Coughs^ disappeared, temperatures be­ came normal, respirations were easier anff1 Weight increased rapidly. No at­ tention'.was "paid to dampness and drpftfs, and heavy dews were regarded Its inconvenient simply, because of the * ecesslty of drying the bedclothes, t- . Sleeping in a small room with an sop'en window does not appear to be y, tiearly so beneficial to the patient as when the nights are passed on a ver- andft gr in a tent where1 there is a .free circulation of air on all sides. If , " ,ft patient <?w%re fortunate enough to have a Irirge room with a southern ex- "• posure and containing one or t$ro often fireplaces, 1n addition to large f'indows an three sides, which might e opened at night, he might derive ^approxiroateljjthe benefit Incident to ^nt life. • .. r JtfcGraham, "of South Carolina, pre- - Jejrs .the circular to the army tent, and tkhily£ it better to place it on a plat- form- two feet from the ground, and .to do without carpets and draperies. ; Iirageries are not necessary, but rugs Jijtd greatly to, the comfort and con- Jrtenieiice of those in 111 health, and ; their use can be made perfectly safe tby exposing ^ttiem to the sunlight for ' a few hours daily.

V ->P / An Extra Gokds Appetite. A good appetite is a symptom Of good health. An extra good appetite is sometimes a "symptom of constitu­ tional disturbance somewhere. A sam­ ple letter sent to the "Questions and Answers" column of a prominent health journal was something like thl&:".'<^~- ' v " ' '^J am troubled with pimples, not to a great extent, but still very annoying. They appear principally on the fore­ head,, but occasionally on other places. I Often feel languid, and tire easily, and cannot gain flesh, although I have an extra good appetite. Still I am taOt, sick, and have not been in bed for a day in my life. Age, nineteen years. Will you kindly advise me what you thipk would remove these pimples?" ;There is little doubt but that the "extra good . appetite" alluded to af­ fords the key to the situation. The di­ gestive* organs have more than they can take care of, and consequently do toot properly take care of anything fur- , _ A Maze tor the 8tranger. **L6ndon!" said an Englishman proudly, "Is the hardest city in the world to gelt about in.

With many people the h^abit of hearty eating is continued when the warm spring days come. Food which was appropriate when the thermomet­ er was at zero is continued in the same quality and quantity when th'o thermometer rises to ninety degrees in the sun, and averages above sixt? all day and night./ The person who &ses his appetite tinder such a, condi­ tion is on safe ground.

All doctors are not so careful of the welfare of their patients as they mtght be. Here is a story of one who went to the limit. He is the proprie­ tor of a famous health. resort not tar from --;---. When he receives a pa­ tient for treatment he says: "Now, I want it understood that un­ less you do exactly as j say, thfere is no use of your staying." This rule sometimes requires him to be very harsh, but he never hesitates. He acts oaSthe theory that he can bet­ ter afford^to oiTend a single patient and lose him that to have that pa­ tient go back home and tell his friends Dr. So-and-So had done him no good, relates the Washington Star.. Not long ago a well-known clergy­ man went to this resort for treatment. The doctor looked him over upon his arrival and said: "While you are here you must take long walks every day." "But I ean't take walks," replied the parson. "I haven't done any walk­ ing for years. My heart won't stand it" They argued the question quite warmly. As the clergyman and doc­ tor were good friends, the latter was more lenient than usual. However, he bided his time. The next after­ noon the physician said to the clergy- ix> an: "It's a nice day. I wo^ld like you to go horseback riding with me." Riding they went. When they were about eight miles from the sanitarium the physician said: "Oh, doctor, won't you get me that flower by the road­ side? I* don't like* to leave this hcrse." As soon as the clergyman was on the ground tii& doctor galloped off with both horses, and the clergyman was compelled to walk back to the sanitarium. Upon his arrive!,he was very angry, and was for packing up and leaving at once. There was no train that , night, so he was forced to stay a few hours longer. .The next morning he came down radiant and good natured. "Doctor," said he, "I was pretty sore at you last night, but' I iorgive everything. I have had the first good sleep I have enjoyed in months. Here­ after I'll obey your order Implicitly.

Buffalo, N.Y. 1 Diamonds in Shoe Heels. Mr*. Frederick W, Vanderbilt wears diamonds on the heels o£ her boots. At least she did wear them there until Friday night. When she ap­ peared in the dining room of the Hotel Green in Pasadena on that night everybody who was not engaged in studying the bill of fare began to study the heels. ,' Around the top of each ran a string of diamonds. The eyes of the women that looked at the brilliants glittered about as much as the dia­ monds themselves. Mrs. Vanderbirb stood it as long as she could. Then, seeing no reason that such a trifling thing as diamonds on the heels should have occasioned* attention, she dismissed her cafe noir in a hurry and went immediately to her rooms. Many women who ^ere envious-* of her will follow her example as soon as they get some surplus diamonds. They already have the heels.---Los Angeles Examiner.

We cannot disregard the effect oft the association wiiich his name, in view of facts that are widespread and notorious, unfor­ tunately carries with it Question of Moral Prestige.^ "The church cannot afford to enter into any relation that may weaken or discredit it in the fulfillment of its task. The main question is one of the moral prestige and power of the church. "AJ1 the oonfusg^'n arising from the literal use of,the figure tainted money" may be brushed aside at once. Money ts impersonal; it is'not tainted and cannot taint morality. "The church owes it to itself an^ the public conscience to acknowledge responsibility when if voluntarily in­ ters into dealings with a donor who opejnly stands impeached of serious of-, fenses which it is our duty to con demn. . . • "It is^faot required thft the church form a tribunal to pfiss judgment on personal character or probe into .the business methods of airigivers. Sucli examination is not necessary in refus­ ing a gift. Public belief and expres­ sion, formed on .extensive evidence through a long series of years, fur­ nishes sufficient basis for such action. Fear Corporate Evils. ."Where we must end is shown by the answer of the prudential commit­ tee. We must«end in the declaration of complete irresponsibility for the sources from which we accept gifts. Their words are: 'The principle on which this policy rests is the belief that Our responsibility begins with the receipt of the gift; before gifts are re­ ceived the responsibility is not ours but is thataof donors in their own Con science.' "We believe the church never will rest in this principle. It has not done so in the past. By many acts and ut terances the chuijch has declared its right and d|rty to discriminate among honors. The principle itself is vicious and coi$$y?ffng. , "The motives which constrain us to this appeal are % deep, solicitude be­ cause |3>f- the corporate evils that threaten oto- nation, our sense of the solemn ana imj&eratlve mission of the church as the moral educator the people, and a jealous zeal lest ifs e& ergy and authority be impaired by any seemfng compromise with the evil it is set to condemn." - .Slgav"- "!
