STATE TAKES HAND IN FIGHT
New Jersey Leads in Advanced Legis-
lation Designed to Check Spread
of Tuberculosis.
What is designated by the National
Association for the Study and Preven-
tion of Tuberculosis as the most ad-
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state in the United
States, if not by any country in the
world, is found in a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu-
lations laid down by the state board
of health concerning the prevention of
their disease, and thus become a men-
ace to the health of those with whom
they associate shall be compulsorily
segregated by order of the courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose.
If such a patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations of the institu-
tion in which he is placed, he may “be
isolated or separated from other per-
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution.” The law further pro-
vides that all counties in the state
of New Jersey shall within six months
from April 1st make provision in spe-
cial institutions for the care of all
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasurer will sub-
sidize each county to the extent of
$3.00 a week for each person main-
tained in these institutions, except
those who are able to pay for the cost
of maintenance.
Pa Knows.
Willie—Paw, what does discretion
mean?
Paw—Picking out a small man

Easily.
Howell—He has a prosperous look.
Powell—Yes, you could tell at a
glance that he was a single man.
THE OLD PLEA
He "Didn’t Know It Was Loaded."
The coffee drinker seldom realizes
that coffee contains the drug, caffeine,
a severe poison to the heart and
nerves, causing many forms of dis-
ease, noticeably dyspepsia.
"I was a lover of coffee and used it
for many years, and did not realize the
bad effects I was suffering from its
use. (Tea is just as injiyious as cof-
fee because it, too, contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)
“At first I was troubled with indiges-
tion. I did. not attribute the trouble
to the use of coffee, but thought it
arose from other causes. With these
attacks I had sick headache, nausea
and vomiting. Finally my stomach
was in such a condition I could scarce-
ly retain any food.*
“I consulted a physician; was told
all my troubles came from indiges-
tion, hut was not informed what
caused the indgestion. I kept on with
the coffee, and kept on with the trou-
bles, too, and my casX continued to
grow worse from year to year until it
developed into chronic diarrhea, nau-
sea and severe attacks of vomiting. I
could keep nothing on my stomach and
became a mere shadow’, reduced from
159 to 128 pounds.
"A specialist informed me I had a
very severe' case of catarrh of the
stomach, which had got so bad he
could do nothing for me, and I became
convinced my days were numbered.
“Then I chanced to see an article set-
ting forth the good qualities of Postum
and explaining how coffee injured peo-
ple so I concluded to give Postum a
trial. I soon saw the good effects—my
headaches were less frequent, nausea
and vomiting only came on at long in-
tervals and I was soon a changed man,
feeling much better.
“Then I thought I could stand coffee
again, but as scon as I tried it my old
troubles returned and I again turned
to Postum. Would you believe it, I
did this three times before I had sense
enough to quit coffee for good and
keep on w’ith the Postum. I am now a
well man with no more headaches, sick
stomach or vomiting,, and have al-
ready gained back to 147 pounds.”

EFFECTIVE DRAPERY OF WIDE
MESSALINE, 8ATIN OR SILK.
Will Go Far In Dressing Up a Simply
Made House or Evening Frock—
Colors That Make Most
Fetching Combination.
Absolutely new In sashes and an ac-
cessory of the sort that will do won-
ders toward the dressing up of a sim-
ply made house or evening frock is
the one to be fashioned from a yard
and a half strip of the very widest
messallne, satin or silk procurable,
as the material should be doubled over
and the two long edges invisibly
Joined before the portion to be draped
about the waiBt is attached to a foun-
dation girdle. This girdle of stiffly
starched linen or canvas or of heavy
taffeta should be Bhaped very high at
the back, taper toward the sides, wid-
en slightly toward the front and then
covered with the sash material which,
starting from the front and at the left
aide, goes about the waist and slides
through an ornamental and veryjarge
square buckle at the other end, whence
It fallp straight down the left side in
a single broad, heavy end, which is
embroidered in self-color, with white,
gold or sllved, appliqued with tinsel
medallions or beaded in Oriental ef-
fect and Anally fringed with deep,
knotted silk or tinsel fringe. The
buckle, also hand-made, should as
nearly as possible match the trim-
ming scheme of the sash end and is
easily made by covering a cardboard
or leather foundation with the desired
shade of satin, with a tinsel cloth or
with a head-embroidered fabric. The
idea Is to produce a rich effect and
the model affords a good opportunity
for the exercise of personal ingenuity.
For Instance, If ahot taffeta in rose
and gold la employed for the sash, the
large buckle should be of cloth of gold
embroidered with rhinestone beads,
the straight end embroidered with
gold tinsel and rhinestone bead
strands. On a white lingerie house
frock an embroidered black velvet
£ash is particularly stunning, but on
account of the bulk of even the chif-
fon velvets, the portion encircling the
waist should not be doubled and the
depending end would best be silk-lined.
iChiffon or Brussels net, if heavily bor-
dered and embroidered in pearl, crys-
tal or silver beads, makes a lovely
girdle for a young girl’s dancing frock
And in that event the portion going
around the waist should be mounted
upon satin decorated to match the
sash end, while the buckle should
match the color scheme of the fringe.

Tired of hats that cover half the
face, and tower several stories, the
fashionable Fifth Avenue milliners
have hit upon the latest creation of
feminine adornment, drawing their in-
spiration from the hats worn by Car-

New Accessories.
Chantilly and Maiines laces are
among the newest ideas for veils, par-
ticularly the cream white tones, which
are becoming against the skin. Some
of these are long, draped gracefully
round the hats and hanging at the
back.
The return of the waistline has giv-
en opportunity for the display of neat
belts. These are in suede and patent
leather, quite narrow, and the more
decorative are adorned with jewels.
Jeweled shoes also are a fashionable
fad of the moment. Diamonds and
other precious stones adorn shoes of
gold and silver brocade and duchess
lace.

One-piece gowns au-e still the vogue.
In evening dress two colors are
often combined.
White Is very prominent in millin-
ery and In footwear.
Many belts wlD be worn, and the
leather ones are very chic.
Patent leather belts are smart for
linen, gingham, etc., frocks.
In millinery small flowers and
tightly pressed designs are used.
A charming new material for dressy
motoring coats Is known as sponge.
White dresses are frequently re-
lieved with bright sashes and girdles.

Amusing Trifle That Makes Simple
Present or Attractive Article for

A “Merry Thought” pen-wiper Is no
new idea, but It makes an amusing
present for an unimportant occasion,
and It forms an attractive little article

Comprehensive and Succinct Report
of What Was Said In the
Funeral Oration.
A popular Irishman, beloved for
many a mile around his home town,
died suddenly. He belonged to sev-
eral organizations, and the A. O. H.
of Blooinville decided to send a rep-
resentative to his funeral.
The church was packed and the
clergyman most sympathetic. In ex-
pressing his certainty of immortality
he went in for simile.
“We will say,” he observed for Illus-
tration, “that here is a beautiful
watch. The case Is good and is studded
with diamonds, it looks like the valu-
able part of the watch, but you can
remove the works and they will keep

It does not take long for America’s
future citizens to adopt American

tery, and was toiling up Broadway
with his big canvas-covered trunk up-

off his crisp black locks, and a long,
heavy ulster Happed at his heels. But,
crowning glory of all—perched on his
head, and toyed with by the biting
winds that swept In from the sea, was
a brand-new American straw hat—a
fitting crown for a citizen in a country
where every man is a king.

a small card Is suspended from the
