The woman looked startled.

she recognizes him, he may be able to

There was ring at the door bell, and
parley few minutes later.
The woman ushered Paul Dalton into

Curiously the watcher in the next

He was surprised to note timidity,

that the press has done good work in
warning people from excess of fatigue
and instructing them how to avoid it,
and he hopes that the people will re-
member all that has been said, for he
anticipates: with the advent of ex-
'ceesively hot weather much greater ac-
tiyity about the hospital. He advises
people most earnestly not to attempt
to do too much at the Fair when the
midday sun is blazing down; he ad-
vises the people, too, to come to the
Fair early in the day and avoid the ex-
treme heat; he suggest, moreover, that
visitors confne themselves during the
excessively hot weather to the explora-
tion of as limited an area as possible,
and to avoid exposure to the sun
whenever it can be done.
The doctor makes another sugges.
tion which most people will agree
with, and that is if visitors must cover
as much space of ground in day as
they can, it should be done with quick
step. .. Don't loiter1 or saunter, but in
going from point to point move
quickly; when standing around an
exhibit stand still as much as possi-
BILE, take it in with the eye rather than
with the feet. The doctor says that
nothing 80 quickly produces fatigue
as the constant and deliberate move.
ment of the body's weight from ona
foot to the other; hence the slow,
sauntering walk which most people
practice at the Fair, tires them out
before they are conscious of it.
Move quickly, step lightly and keep
the centrifugal action of the legs con-
stantly in motion. These precautions,
the doctor says, with frequent rests of
half an hour or 80, will enable one to
spend whole day at the Fair and come
home with sound stomach and in a
Christian frame of mine. What is
more, by such methods the people will
avoid the hospital Another thing
that the doctor suggests is liberal
diet on the Fair grounds. Many peo.
pie come there after light breakfast /;
they begin to get little hungry, but
feel that it is too early to eat; be-
sides, they do not see convenient
place. Next they begin to get tired
and the hunger ceases; then they get
headache, and from that point to
complete collapse is not long dis.
tance. The doctors advice is to eat
whenever theimpulse appears, no mat.
ter what you may be doing, and keep
on eating if you feel like it whenever
you come across place. Even bag
of popcorn is better than An empty
stomach. Another suggestion which
he mskes-and this is perhaps as good
as any in the case of mothers-let them
leave their children at home or check
them in the proper place as so much
baggage; don't attempt to carry them
about the grounds to the imminent
prostration of their own energies and
the irritation of others. Again, let all
very aged and infrm people remain at
home; their ambition to see the

without medical attendance. There
are eight women nurses. These are
supplied by the. various hospitals in
the city, and are on duty at the Fair
two weeks at time. It is an excellent
plan of the hospitals for giving their
uurses change of scene and an op-
portun1ty to visit the Fair. The hos
pital and medical bureau proper occupy
the whole of the first floor. The upper
floor is devoted to the accommodation
of the physicians, nurses and other at
tendants. On the whole it is as COM
plete and thoroughly equipped an
emergency retreat for the injured and
and afflicted as the skill Of physicians
and the rules of medical science could
devise.
In talking with the Herald repre-
sentative the other day DR.. Hillmantle
observed that it was a pity that the
building and its equipment could not
be preserved foS longer use than that
involved in the period of the Fair.
Tie doctor says, however, that they
have been pretty busy. They have
had one ccse Of amputation, which was
the most serious operation performed,
but in minor surgical work they have
accomplished good deal, especially
during the construction, completion
and installation of the Fair, when 80
many thousand workmen were en-
ployed. Since the Fair has been prac-
tically complete there has been but
little surgical work. The present
work OF the hospital is mostly in the
line of administering remedies for
prostration and fatigue.
The physicians have also to do the
ordinary medical treatment of the
many employees, and particularly, the
Columbian guards. The doctor laugh
insly said that one-half their practice
comes from the Columbian guards and
the roller-chair men. Theroller-chair
boys particularly, often require
prompt attendance because Of the un-
accustomed fatigue to which they are
subjected. 1t may seem like great fun
to trundle a rolling chair around in
the sun for on unlimited numbc" OF
hours, but Doctor Hillmantle says that
some of the college boys have suffered
enormously.

pletely prostrated, so much 50 that

It suddenly dawned on Prescott. that
he could gain nothing by sullen ami
mostly; much, perhaps, by playing the
sycophant.
He led the way to his old friend, the
tavern-keeper, explained the situation,
and got the money, for Lawyer Drew's
check was as current as gold coin in
Ridgeton.
SAll right, Mr.. Prescott"
Prescott proceeded to the apartment
adjoining that IN which Ruth lay. He
placed its door slightly ajar, SO he could
look into the sick-room, and see and
hear all that was going op
He watched Dalton lndorse it with a
hourish, and then, his glance falling to
the name, his eyes bulged.
"Hello!" he calculated forcibly.
Dalton handed him the promised ten
dollars, but Prescott was strangly lost
in reverie.
"Tll see you again, Prescott, he said.
Suppose I'll have to call around on
Ruth soon. Pretty busy for week OF
30, though, SO if she gets better tell her
I came, but was called away again. I've

was one, voted Ralph Prescott.
