HOSPITAL ANNEX, CHILDS-DREXEL HOME' FOR PRINTERS. The' Triumph of-' Science. AT LAST ! 8 CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED IN ANY CLIMATE. in ins li te Remarkable Discovery of an American Medico-. ' Chemist. ITS GREAT VALUE TO HUMANITY. The hospital annex to the Childs-Drexel home for decrepit union printers at Colorado Spring, Colo., is now about completed. On the first floor are 'several bedrooms, a dining room and a drug room. On the second floor are the wards, a room for nurses and a serving room. The building is surrounded on the east and west by balconies, so that the sick can sit out all dny in the sunshine. Part of the balconies will be enclosed in glass. The erection of the hospital annex was decided upon at the biennial meeting of the International ' Typographical Union held in the fall of lS'JO. The necessary money was voted by the union. REFORM IN BABY CLOTHES. Apparel Fashioned on Lines of Clothes for Grown Up Reformers. The new baby Is Dot outdone by the new woman nowadays when It coms to clothes. The little lady has her ap parel faithfully fashioned after the gowns of the grown-up followers of dress reform. From the so-called "boot ies' on hT pink toes to the hood-shawl for her little bald head, the miniature mistress of the nursery is strictly In style, from the Jenness Miller stand point. The idea of dress reform for the baby sprung into popularity but a short time ago. Previous to that time an ambi tious maji with an M. D. to his name had patterned several pieces of stockin et apparel without beauty, which proud maiiiuuis promptly refused to put on their little ones. Subsequently mem bers of the fair sex succeeded In devel oping numerous Improvements for the baby along less exaggerated dress re form lines. The chief advantage of these vest ment innovations for the Infant over the old-fashioned modes Is the banish ment of that tiny thing which has been the cause of countless wails in the nursery the point of a pin. The cure for this crying need of the baby was also accompanied by other Improve ments In Its attire, as to give It pre cisely what women seek to find In their dress reform gowns. That desidera tum Is greater freedom of the body and more comfort In their clothes, as well as to reduce to a minimum the neces sary pieces of apparel. One of the more useful additions to common-sense dress reform for the baby are the "booties," which came out Kilt fl fatr Itinn.tlio mm TO..... 1 1 knitted foot coverings that come to the knee, where they are fastened with a tiny riblxm. "Booties" make unneces sary the rather awkward-looking pin ning blanket. They are dainty little things, with delicate borders of pale pink of light blue. BELONGINGS OF THE The tiny shirt with a bit of rlblion bow at the neck Is made of white cash mere these days, as the knitted ones are considered old-fashloend by the dress reformers. It Is edged with silk and buttoned down the front. To take the place of time-honored llueu band for the baby's -wills' which had to be rolled around the little one anil then securely pinned In place, the reformers have made a knitted Iximl. This innovation is firmly held In place by two straps which go over the shoul ders. At the lower part of the knitted band Is a pad to which the diaper may be attached. This garment obviates any unequal pressure on the body and throws part of the strain on the shoul ders rather than all olniut the waist. The modern baby must also have a bath. robe. This necessity Is made of light-colored nun's veiling and tufted with a bright zphyr. Two tiny cords secure it at the neck, and It is briar stitched with fancy floss. The little cashmere sacque of white embroidered with a delicate color Is loose In cut to allow freedom, while the sleeves are small as becomes the style of the dress reform baby. The reform Idea is likewise carried out in the mull underskirt with deep embroidery on the edge. In place of the conventional band about the waist, wf n n lit? LLi . the skirt is gathered to a yoke over the shoulder and Is buttoned In the back. As to dresses, the reform baby may have as many as her mother will per mit, only they must conform to the same effects carried out centuries ago by the Grecian maiden. That Is to say, the waist line, if there Is one, must come close under the arms. Illustrative of this Idea is the white mull dress with fancy lace yoke, which has a narrow sash that ties in front in a dainty bow. Then for negligee there Is the comfort able cashmere wrapper delicately em broidered which the baby wears when her tirst tooth begins to give her trouble. What Malaria Is. "Malaria Is not a distinct condition, germ or poison," remarked a physician to a Washington Star reporter. "It is the result of a combination of circum stances, conditions and poisons. At certain seasons it Is rather prevalent, not, however, because there Is any par ticular poison in the air In this city or section, but as the result of very warm days and rather cool nights. The bodies get very much warmed up during the day, and the anxiety to cool them in clines persons to ride about In open cars or sit on the porches or the parks In the evening. They therefore cool off too suddenly, ami the congested condi tion of things resultant for want of a better name Is called and knowu as malaria. In old-fashioned times the same condition of things was known as bilious fever.. There are, of course, many persons who are strong enough to resist the evil Influences of the night air, but in cases where the system Is run down many are very sensitive to It. I do not know that there is any panacea for this condition. If a person feels that he Is run down, It would be well for him to take a tonic prepara tion for a couple of weeks and particu larly to avoid the night air. This rid ing about the streets in the open cars at nlglvt time is very bad for some per sons, though It does not seem to do any DKESS HE FORM BABY. harm to others. On the whole, how ever, I think there are more harmed by It than otherwise. If people must go out I would advise that they wear clothing somewhat heavier than that worn by them during the day." About Adam. A curious Jewish tradition reports that Adam was entirely clothed in a hard, horny skin, and only lost it and became subject to evil spirits on losing I'eradlse. The nails are the remnants of this dress, and whoever cms them off and throws them away does himself an Injury. An old Persian chronicle says that Eve also possesed this dress and the nails were left to remind them of Paradise. Fo InicenloiiH.

They are pretty solid colors, and but for the misery of wearing them, might become fashionable. Some men take pride in wear ing them as tokens of their profession, as soldiers do their scars. But bruises, black or blue, or both, ought to have immediate attention, for under them ninv be a nerve hurt or a muscle badlv wrenched. A black and blue bruise is a bad thing, not only from its tender soreness but tne contused blood is prevention of regular circulation. While sore Fpots like these will not wash out, there is something that will rub them out in no time, and that is St. Jacobs Oil. It is peculiarly adapted to their quick cure. A pennant can lie won only by hard knocks, with scars and bruises, Ivt after the ball ia over, if any remain, this one cure is the best. Bruises come from con tusion in all avocations, and it is well to remember at all times just what will cure them the best.

Yesterday it was Pasteur and Kock, and today it is' Slocum, with a new discov ery which is the result of years of careful study and research. Foremost among the world's greatest chemists stands T. A. Slocum, of New York City. His researches and experiments, patiently carried on forbears, have tinnlly culminated in results which are proving as neneiieial to humanity as the discoveries or any chcmist.ancieut or modern. His efforts which for years bad been directed toward the discovery of a positive cure for con sumption, W'ere finally successtul, and al ready his "new scientiiio svstem of medi cine" has, by its timely use, permanently cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases, ana it seemsii necessary ana numane duty to bring such facts to th'e attention of all invalids.
