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.

BLACK AND BLUE.
Black and blue colors are not subject to
fashions this season nor in any season.
They hold their own and will not wash out.
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.

Workers in the wide, unexplored field of
modern chemistry are daily astounding the
world with new wonders.' Professor and
layman vie with each oilier in their com
mendnble efforts to lessen the ills of human
ity. 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.
The medical profession throughout
America and Kumpe are almost unatnious
in the opinion that nearly all physical ail
ments naturally tend to the generation of
consumption. ' The aiillcted die in th

The Doctor bus proved the dreaded dis
ease to be curable beyond a doubt, in any
climate, and has on tile in his American
and Kuropeun laboratories thousands of
letters, of heartfelt gratitude from thoss
benented or cured in all parts of the world.
No one having, or tbveuiened with, any
disease, should hesitate a day, but should
write at once. Facts prove that the Doctor
has discovered a reliable and absolute cure
for Consumption (Tuberculosis) and all
bronchial, throat, lung and chest troubles,
stubborn eouirhs, catarrhal affections, scrof
ula, general decline and weakness, loss of
tiesh, and all wasting conditions, and to
demonstrate its wonderful merits, he will
send Three Free bottles (all different) of
his New Discoveries, with full instructions,
to any reader of this puKr.

A system of medicul treatment that will
cure catarrh, lung troubles and consump
