Mr.. Jonathan Hutchinson states in The
Archives of Surgery that for many years
he has been in the habit of forbidding fruit
to all patients who suffer from tendency to
govt. In every instance in which total
abstainer of long standing has come under
his observation tor any affection related to
govt he has found on inquiry that the
sufferer was liberal fruit eater. Fruits
IRE, of course, by no means all equally
deleterous; cooked fruits, especially if
eaten hot with added sugar, are the most
injurious, the addition of cane sugar to
grape sugar adds much to the risk of dis
agreement. Fruit eaten raw and without
the addition of sugar would appear to he
comparatively safe. Natural instinct and
dietetic tastes have already led the way in
this directions few wine drinkers take
fruit or sweets to any extent, and Mr.
Hutchinson suggests as dietetic law that
alcohol and fruit sugar ought never to be
taken together; and he believes that the
children of those who in former genera
tions have established equity constitution
may, though themselves water drinkers,
excite govt by the use of fruit and sugar.

a botanist has thus explained in Forest
and Stream why leaves change in color:
The green matter in the tissue of a leaf is
composed of two colors, red and blue.
When the sap ceases ID flow in the fall and
the natural growth of the tree ceases, oXi-
dation of the tissue takes place. Under GER
tain conditions the green of the leaf changes
to red; under different conditions it takes
Oh a yellow or brown tint. This difference
in color is due to the difference in combina-
ton of the original constituents of the
green tissue and to the varying conditions
of climate exposure and soil. a dry, cold
climate produces more brilliant foliage
than one that is damp and warm. This is
the reason that our American autumns are
so much more gorgeous than those of Eng
land. There are several things about leaves
that even science cannot explain. For in
stance why one or two trees growing side
by side, of the same age and having the
same exposure, should take on Il brilliant
red in the fall, and the other should turn
yellow; or why one branch of a tree should
be highly colored and the rest of the tree
have only yellow tint, are questions that
are as impossible to answer as why one
member of a family should be perfectly
healthy and another sickly."

Medicated Air In Phthisis.

NJ German See has related the history
of several cases of consumption, all of
which were relieved and some cured by his
new treatment. He shuts his patient up
for two, three or more hours daily in a
Theoretically closed metallic chamber, into
which is slowly admitted a current of
compressed air, which, having passed
through IA mixture of creosote and euca
lyptol, is saturated with the vapor of these
substances. Within a year ten cases of
phthisis have been submitted to this treat
ment, all of which cases, with one eXcep
ton, had reached the period of softening
and bacilli had been detected in the sputa
The results obtained were; Return of APP
petite, even in advanced cases; gain Of
weight and strength, fall of temperature
to the normal in a week or two, diminution
of cough and of purulency of sputa and
Disappearance of other unfavorable general
symptoms.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
h Is Believed That 1t VIII Prove "a vaiu-

II Is Believed That 1t VIII Prove n Valu-
able Hygienic Agent.
A statement has been made that the
adoption of electric lighting in place of gas
1t the office of the savings bank depart
nent of the general postollice, London, has
been followed by a marked reduction in the
amount of sick leave. The Lancet ex-
presses the opinion that there is authority
FOR believing that the statement referred to
S substantially correct. Although the
lime which has as yet elapsed-two years
since the introduction of the new illumi
nant has been insufficient for the collection
Of trustworthy statistics the paper named
thinks there is every reason to believe that
electric lighting will prove to be much
more wholesome than ordinary gas flames
An electric lamp does not compete for the
oxygen OF the apartment in which it is
placed, and this circumstance gives it
marked advantage over any open flame
1t cannot, like some forms of gas burner,
be used to promote ventilation, but in or.
binary situations its harmlessness is a
much more important property.

One Cause of Spinal Curvature.

An official report of two Austrian ply
sicians to the Supreme Council of Hygiene
is strongly in favor of erect rather than
slanting writing. They point out that the
direction of the written characters has
marked influence on the position of the
body. In straight" writing the scholar
faces his work, and is spared the twist of
the body and neck, which is always observ-
able in those who write slantwise, and one
common cause of spinal curvature is thus
obviated The erect method is, therefore,
expressly recommended for use in schools
in preference to the ordinary sloping lines.

A LITTLE GIRLS EXPERIENCE IN A

Mr.. and Mrs. Loren Prescott are keep

Mich. and are blessed with Il daughter,
four years old. Last April she was ia
ken down with measles, followed with a
dreadful cough and turning into fever.
Doctors at home and at Detroit treated
her, but in vain, she grew worse rapidly,
until she was mere "handlul of bones"
Then she tried DR.. Kings new dis
covery and after the use of two and Il
half bottles was completely cured.
They say DIR. Kings new discovery is

THE EXTREME OF DlSCOURTESY


How Callers Are Often Made Uncomfort-
able by Thoushtless or Rude Hostesses.
That it is one of the objectionable social
sins for any one to be discourteous in her
own house to caller goes with
out saying, but an exchange makes
the following comments as to the
ways in which this rudeness is often
manifested: 1t is not infrequent that you
would prefer that certain callers should
stay away, but more than likely they have
been repeatedly and warmly invited TO cali,
and no one is TO blame but yourself. If the
cold shoulder is to be shown, or petty dis
likes or Sights to be displayed, there is
ample room and opportunity. Your home
is certainly not the place to show them.
Any one crossing your doorstep, whatever
his standing may be- and whether hidden
or not, is for the time your guest and is eL-
titled to the usages of polite society and
courteous consideration. You should never
be deluded by the idea that shortcomings
in politeness and hospitality are overlooked
or forgotten, for such is rarely the case;
and by sensitive people such actions are
much more painful than an open affront
or insult. If your callers should be back
ward or awkward, they have every right
to expect you to come to their assistance
in making them feel comfortable and at
ease in conversation, amusement, or in
whatever way it may be needed.
There are a few things quite generally
INDUCED in by well meaning people when
callers are present, who, if they would take
y second thought at the time, would see
that they are extremely discourteous
There may be mentioned meaning looks at
members of the household or old acquaint-
ances who may be present, signs with the
| fingers, whispered consultation in the hall
way, the carrying on of protracted CONVEX
sations one with another to the ignoring
of the caller refusing to play upon the
| piano if requested to do so, when the caller
knows that there is no reasonable excuse
except Discrimination why you should not.
Many other common abuses might be men
toned, but these are sufficient to at least
| give food for reflection.

summer. Many coilfures show parting
across the top of the head back to the knot,
where this is tolerably high; the hair on
each side is then arranged in waved ban
deaux. Plain bandeauX in front are used
by elderly ladies. Waved bandeauX and "a
basket plait at the back look well when a
small tasteful cap is to be worn.
The illustration represents the pyramid
coil" at the back and curl cluster of the
front hair 1t is becoming arrangement

A novelty in Catogan coiffures consists Of
the addition of curled coil twisted in the
neck. The natural hair is waved all around
in bold waves, then fastened at the crown
of the head, divided and arranged in loops;
then the curled coil Catogan is added at

the upper globe is partially filled with wa
