CURING CONSUMPTION.
A leaflet, entitled “Curing Consump-
tion” has been prepared and sent out
by Karl de Schwinitz, executive secre-
tary of the Pennsylvania Society for
the Prevention of Tuberculosis, and is
as follows:
“Can consumption be cured? Thou-
sands of persons are still asking this
and it is largely becaue of ignorance
upon this subject that there are so
many deaths from tuberiulosis.
“That consumption can be cured if he
takes treatment soon enough and
keeps it up long enough. No doctor
can cure typhoid fever, pneumonia or:
appendicitis if the disease has pro-
gressed too far. The same thing is true
of tuberculosis. Therefore, if you
are losing weight and have no appe-
tite; if you are suffering from night
sweats, a persistent cough and a gen-
eral run down condition, see a doctor
at once.
“If he tells you to go to a sanitorium
by all means go at once. If you are
obliged to take the cure at home fol-
low all of your doctor's directins min-
utely. Live in the open air as much as
possible. Take plenty of milk and
eggs. Sleep outside. Rest all you can.
When you feel better don’t think you
are cured. It takes years to make a
cure permanent.
“Above all things remember that
there is no medicine that will cure tu-
berculosis. Avoid patent medicines—
your doctor will prescribe the simple
tonics you may need. The only way to
recover is to build up the health of
your whole body and the best medi-
cine for this is sunshine, fresh air,
nourishing food, regular living and
rest.

AMELIA’S FRIGHT.

o-
Three little owls once found an old
hay barn in a lonely field. It was half
full of hay and very warm. On a wild
winter’s day they crept through a se
cret hole under the eaves and nestled
together on a broad beam. The frozen
sleet rattled on the shingles like bul-
lets. The storm shook and pressed
on the doors until the owls cried out,
“Who, whoo, Wwhooo?” And the
storm wailed, “You, youu, youuu!”
This made the owls afraid to go out
so they nestled closer and told stories
to pass the time.
The owl with long feathers on his
legs told “The Story of the New
Shoes.” The next owl told the story
ot “Amelia and the Gate,” and this is
nearly as he told it:
In front of the house where Amelia
lives was a gate and close to the gate
a large oak tree. One day as the owl
was sitting on a thick branch of the
tree Amelia came out te the gate,
climbed on it and began to swing.
She was such a little girl she could
hardly climb up, but when she once
began to swing she went back and
forth fast enough.
Just then Nora came out of the
house to see what Amelia was doing.
Seeing the child on the gate, she ran
over, lifted her down and scolded her.
Nora was cross, but she smiled and
said, “Good morning,” to a man driv-
ing past on a load of hay. He stop-
ped his horses and Nora asked him if
he had come for a girl who was al
ways olimbing on gates. He said
he did not want Amelia that day, for
he had one boy already that he had
just taken from a rate up the road.
As he said so a boy who had been
lving flat on the hay rose up and look-
ed over. Amelia was shocked. He
was a big boy and she thought that
must be the reason he did not cry.
Nora asked what he was going to
do with the boy.
“Well,” said the man, #it will be a
long time before he goes back to bis
folks.” Then he whipped up his
horses and drove on.
Amelia stood looking after him with
one hand holding Nora’s apron. She
knew he was Mr. Perkins’ hired man,
and she wondered if Mrs. Perkins
would not feel serry for the boy, and
send him home. Amelia had gone
down to her house many times with
Nora to buy butter and she had gv-
en them cookies, so Amelia liked to
go there, although the parlor chairs
were covered with a black stuff that
scratched the backs of her legs as
she sat upon them.
Now she and Nora could see the hay
wagon turn into the Perkins barnyard
away.
Amelia playhouse was the little
space between three large lilac
bushes. Nora had put an old rug on
the ground and made nice shelves by
pressing small pieces of broken crock-
ery, sea shells, and a few toys. A box
in the back of the playhouse served
as a cupboard. She had a box with
two sides knocked out for a table,
and two smaller ones for seats.
But today Amelia was most unhap-
py. She walked back to the gate, then
went a little way outside. She could
think of nothing but the boy on the
hay wagon; thinking of him she be-
gan to run down the road so fast she
was soon at the Perkins gate. Mrs.
Perkins sat on the porch, fanning her-
self with a newspaper.
Amelia could only say, “Mrs. Per-
kins!” and then she was crying, ‘Mrs.
Perkins was a stout woman, but she
got up nimbly enough and ran to meet |
Amelia. “What’s the matter, Sissy?”
said she.
Amelia had not intended to cry
much when she began, but now that
she saw how sorry Mrs. Perkins was
she cried very hard indeed. She
thought she might as well keep on
crying, and then perhaps Mrs. Per-
kins would be more sorry and do as
she asked her. So Amelia just stood
still, looking wp at Mrs. Perkins and
crying so hard her mouth seemed to
spread right across her face. But in-
stead of being more sorry Mrs. Per-
kins leaned over, shook her and said:
“Hush! Don’t you make another
sound till you let me know what’s the
matter!” Amelia was 80 surprised
that she did hush and began to tell
Mrs. Perkins what the matter was.
“Mrs. Perkins,” she sald, “won%
you let that boy go home to his
folks?”
“What boy?”
“That boy your big hired man took
away on the hay wagon because he
had been swinging on the gate.”
Mrs. Perkins looked at her a mo
ment and then said: “Have you been
swinging on the gate?
“Yes'm,” said Amelia.
“Well, come with me and we'll see
about it.”
They walked around the house to
the. kitchen door, which was open.
There inside Amelia saw the hired
man eating his dinner, the boy sitting
beside him.
“Darius, are you going home to
your folks when your work is done?”
Darius heard what she said, but he
just looked at her and said: “Ma’am?*
“Darius,” said Mrs, Perkins, “youn
answer me. Are you going home to
your folks tonight?”
“Yes, ma'am,” said Darius, lopking
at Amelia’s red eyes and grinning.

WORK FOR EVERY MAN.
“If any able-bodied man stops you
on the street to negotiate a ten-cent
loan or applies at your kitchen door
for food with a hard luck story that he
cannot get a job, give him the address
of the nearest state enployment
agency.” i
That is the advice of Jacob*Light-
ner, director of the state employment
bureau of the Department of Labor
and Industry, who declares that there
is a dearth of laborers for Pennsyl-
vania industrial plants. ! *
“It is mainly a matter of geography,
if an able-bodied man, who is willing
to do any kind of work cannot find em-
ployment,” said Director Lightner to-
day. “If there is no work in his im-
mediate locality, a postal card to the
State Bureau of Employment Masonic-
Temple, Harrisburg, will bring a re-
ply that will outline definitely where
he can find a job.
“The employment bureau can sup-
ply jobs to 200 laboring men. One firm
wants skilled machinists. That com-
pany will pay from 32 1-2 to 35 cents
an hour to machinists and will provide
permanent employment.
“Farmers throughout the state are
appealing for farm hands.
“The bureau has many applications
from men who want managerial or
other highly specialized positions. It
cannot always provide such jobs, but
it does want to hear from laborers and
metal workers.
“Don’t give a cent to the able-bod-
ied panhandler who stops you on the
street for a dime. Refer him to one
of the employment bureaus of the
state. They are located at Harrisburg;
at 1519 Arch street, Philadelphia; and
and Room 4, Hannan building Johns-
town, Pa.”
