(5.?Two thousand workmen are engaged day and nighx in putting the finishing touches upon the Woolworth Building, which is to completed within a week or two and the completion of which is to be celebrated at a big banquet to be given next montn. i ne building, now almost completed, holds the record for height among all buildings ever erected by man. It is true, the Eiffel Tower in Paris is 234 feet higher, but it is a mere steel skeleton and cannot be classed as a building in the sense accepted for that term. The building proper which occupies an area of 30,000 square feet, is 884 feet high and is surmounted by a tower 80 by 84 feet, rising 366 feet above the main part of the building. The work of excavating for the foundations was begun on November 4, 1010. Sixty-six caissons were sunk to a depth of 115 feet until they reached solid rock and the six concrete piers, resting upon the rock, constitute the foundation of the structure. The foundation was completed in the fall of 1911, when the erection of the steel frame wan begun. The latter was completed in .juiy ui iasu year ana me dtick ana stone work was completed at the beginning of the present year. Twentyfour thousand tons of steel went into the making of the building and the total weight of the structure is estimated at 250,000 tons. Fifty-five Stories High. The building has fifty-five floors, twenty-five of which , are in tha tower, and the aggregata floor span is about thirty-three acres. The h"'H'n?r ->nd tower together contain about 2,000 offices, with 3,000 windows and as many doors. To enable the occupants of the building to a eh their respective floors there are thirty-four passenger elevators, of which twenty-four are grouped tear the Broadway entrance, while the others are near the entrances from Barclay street and Park Place. The equipment of the building, when fully completed, will be thoroughly modern and as nearly perfect as it is possible to make it. The fiftyfourth floor will be used as an obses vatory and on top of the structure, beneath the gigantic flap, will be placed a powerful search light. The twenty-eighth floor will be occupied by a luncheon club and in the basement there will be a swimming pool, a restaurant and a Rathskeller. Cost $13,500,000 The total cost of the building is estimated at about $13,500,000, of which amount $4,500,00 were paid for the ground. The building was erected for F. W. Woolworth, who was norn poor at noaman, in. y., April 13, 1852, went through public school and a business college and in 1879 opened the first "Five-Cent Store" as Utica, N. Y. The venture prospered, he extended his business to other cities and now has a chain of more than 309 such stores throughout the country, from which he derives an enormous income. More than one-half of the capital re"irofi for the erectionof the Woolworth building was contributed by capitalists in France. The rent roll of the building is expected to be about $2,500,000 a year.

Children of school age contract :h diseases as measles, scarlet fer and diptheria much more freently than older persons. All that has been learned about the modes of transmission of certain diseases, riptably diptheria, indicates that the tkking of a large number of children ?t from their restricted family and Aighborhood relationships and bringing them into contact with a much larger group will increase the opportunities for infection. As regards (If^ortunities for infection furnished by the school, it must be admitted that while the slate, the commoa annaing-cup ana tne roller towel are fast passing away, sufficient facilities for the transfer of disease germs still exist in the friendly exchange | of pocket handkerchiefs, lip-moisten^ ed lead-pencils, chewing gum and the like. The school play-ground, as well as the schoolroom, must be considered in its bearing on the subject of school diseases. The significance 1 of school attendance on the public 1 health side lies not only in the as' sembling of children in a room, but 1 also in the bringing into more or less intimate association a number of 1 children who would otherwise not ' have met at all. Increasing the number of associates must necessarily increase the chances of infection. ' Diptheria and scarlet fever show a ' marked increase in the autumn when 1 the schools open and equally defi1 nite decrease in the summer when 1 the schools are closed. The discovery of the part playea uy me neanny germ-carrier throws ' li^ht on the probable origin of cer' tain obscure cases of infection, says Prof. E. O. Jordan of the University 1 of Chicago in a recent issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. A child in a family in which a case of diptheria exists may hear in its throat living diptheria bacilli without manifesting any sign of disease. If this child is allowed 1 to enter school a playmate may acquire the bacillus without in Its turn becoming definitely ill. This second child .however, may take the germ home and pass it on to a non-schoolgoing child in the same family who then may develop a typical case of diptheria. Methods of control of control of school and institutional outbreaks of diptheria are therefore ruining tu ue iocusea on tne aetection and exclusion of the carrier. Disinfection of innocent chairs and l tables and enforced school closure are I ^"f^neral found to be less effective than the* dtsfoVftfy SMI lSUlallUll tff the living bearer of diptheria germs. When school attendance is regulated by bacteriologic findings schools epidemics quickly subside. Governor Blease refuses to let the South Carolina militia take part in the Wilson inaugural parade because, as he understands, negro militia from the District of Columbia and from Maryland will be in the parade. F. E. Walling, a farmer living near Yukon, Mo., strongly recommends Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and says: "I have been advised by my family doctor to use Foley's Honey & Tar Compound for my children when there was a cough medicine needed. It always gives the best of satisfaction and I recommend it to others."
