Care of Tuberculosis
New Tort A survey recently com
pleted by the National Tuberculosis
association showed that New York
tate leads the country In the num
ber of public, semlprlvate and private
sanitariums for the cure of tuber
culosis, with California ranking sec
oii. This state has a total of 9.40$
beds while California bos 4,4,"L
The growth In Institutions for
tuberculosis cases has increased
greatly during the last twenty-four
year. In UV4 there were less than
8,000 bedi devoted to the care of the
tuberculosis.
Today there are 72,723 beds In fit
public, semlprlvate and private tuber

DIPPING INTO

New Plat'nj Process
Although It bus long been
possible to use most mettils
such as gold, silver, nickel, etc
for plating purposes, it mis
not until this year that a proc
ess for plating aluminum was
perfected. Aluminum is the
most resistant of all ineiuls to
chemical and natural corrosion
therefore this uew discovery l
very Important to Industry.' The
process whs perfected by t'nl

I believe It was Frank who
organized tl.e baseball team among
t lie boys of his
community when
he was thirteen
and who cap
tained It. He be
gan to show lead

Ho was the first
to start playing

spring, and the
most enthusiastic,
and lie opened up
the work In foot
ball among the
Juniors In the fall. Athletically Frank
got un early start.
I believe, too, that he was president
of the organization which opened up
the soft drink emporium on the va
cant lot across from his house. The
parlor consisted of a store box
fenced about with narrow hoards
covered with gay tissue ptior. Frank
acted as treasurer, also, having pret
ty largely financed the enterprise nt
the beginning, bringing In the other
fellows as they were able to furnish
business or financial old. He told
the facilities for the care of the
tuberculous In the pust tweuty four
years. Improved methods and the In
creasing desire of the public to learn
the truth about Its physical condition
brings to lllit more cases of tuber
culosis than can be jukva care of by
existing sanitariums.

Ing (li heated uionths. As the
weather grew cooler In tho fall, the
soft drink parlor was metamorphosed
Into a news stand. It was an ei.rlv
start In business administration, but
I iiui sure that this beginning will
have Its beneficial effects twenty
years front now upon Frank's busi
ness ellkiency. Ho has learned bow
to organize a business, how to buy
economically, and how to save and
Invest his money.
It Is Jn church that Frank has at
tracted my attention most. Ho sits
In the same ew every Sunday, alert
snd attentive. Ho seems to under
stand what the minister Is saying
even when It Is more fully applicable
to older persons than to himself. I
never see him laughing and carrjlng
on a whispered conversation with the
other boys during the service. He
keeps his mind on what Is being said.
Ho Is reverent and serious looking.
Ho follows the responsive reading, he
takes part in the singing, be bows
his bend during the prayer In fuc-t
he plays the religious game as seri
ously and us enthusiastically as he
goes In for athletics and business.

When the War came I enlisted, though

got to college, he went in for a bust

to be developing a keen business
sense. Ho Is making his own spend
ing money and every Sunday I nolle
thut, when tho collection plate Is
passed, be drops In his weekly con
tribution. I am sure that twenty years from
now he will be a lender In the church,
for the religious habits which he Is
so early forming, he will not be able
to break, lie will be president of
the board of trustee! very likely.
When there li no d of raising' money
to build a new church or to add to
the old one It will be Frank who will
be called on to manage things. There
Is nothing like beginning enrly.
