Probably every one has heard that
fish as food is good for the brain, that
head workers should eat plentifully
of fish In later years however, this
| has been denied, pronounced fad or
an old woman's tale. Certainly the
assault upon the old belief has of late
very much shaken it. Now comes Sir
| Henry Thompson and in Food and
| Feeding expresses himself very en-
| phatically upon the subject and, in
He says that he must not be under
stood as saying that fish should super
| sede meat as food altogether though
| there might be cases where that would
| be advisable, but for persons of seden-
| tary habit, who cannot secure suffi
cient exercise, and for women, the hab-
| its of most of whom are not and can
not be active, the nutritive elements
| afforded by fish admirably supply an
| important part of the wants of the
body. He adds:
| The moderate amount of f1esh-form-
ing material present in fish, and in a
| form which entails little labor Oh the
digestive organs for most persons GER
| tainly eat less fish than meat and the
| facility with which fish may be asso-
ciated with other elements-some fat
| ty matters, with cereals and vegeta-
| bies, as we'll as fruits-place it in the
| first rank of foods in that mixed die
| tpy xrrt,i cI ;e-e L
| lead more or less the kind of life re-
ferred to.
| So that while Sir Henry does not re-
| fer to fish as a brain food" he gives
| it general commentator for sedentary
| people, and these are in the main
those who labor with their heads" as
| the saying goes.

quietness and fitness of their funerals
as has their fine artistic instinct. They
are as a nation even prouder and more
studious, / think, of their courtesy
than of their artistic excellence. Cry:
it will do you good" I said once to a.
poor Japanese woman who, crouching
beside her dying husband. was con-
trolling herself with an effort that
would, l feared, make her i'll. She laid
her little, slim brown finger upon her
trembling red lip and shook her head.
then whispered: 1T might disturb
him. Cry; it will do you good" 1
said the next day when the man was
dead, and she seemed almost PROSTATE
with grief and over enforced control.
1t would be most rude to make a hid
eous noise before the sacred dead.
came the soft reply.-From st. PauTs.

The bicycle has worked it's way into
a great number of circles and uses, but
that it would find new place in thera-
peutics was not expected. However
here we have it in evidence according
to the Medical Record" as an agency
in the application of small ice packs,
where it is difficult to get bag of proper
dimensions. A doctor in the Record
says:
Having occasion to apply an icebag
to a limited area of the face and not
being near a supply-hOuse, 1 had the pa
TENTS husband make bag from a sec
ton of an old inner tube of bicycle tire
One end was sealed with bicycle cement
and after the cracked ice was put in
the other end was folded over and en-
circled by a cord. This plan could be
used in making ice-bags for the face
mastoid, larynx, spine, groin, or in fact
for any part where the application Of ice
to a limited area is desired.

quired, are to be filed with the State
Board of Examiners, and recorded in
a book prepared for the purpose. In
the case of county officers, including
Supervisors and Superintendents of
hospitals. poor farms, orphanages and
almshouses, inventories of county
property are to be made before the
1st of July next, and thereafter on the
last day of December. These inven-
tories are to be filed with the County
Clerks and kept of record by them.
No penalty is provided for those who
neglect this duty, but there is general
law specifying punishment for officers
upon whom duty is imposed who
neglect to perform it, 1t will be seen
that this new law will impose a great
amount of work upon the State Board
of Examiners for which it is not now
equipped, and we may anticipate the
appointment of clerical aids for the
examination of these inventories and
the recording of them in the book
Cdleu LOT. lie WIZ n VIII NV ANAoAA~
continuous clerical assistance, but ii
will take very diligent skilled labor
a considerable time annually to make
these examinations and entries. In this
year two such reports and records are
to be made. and of course there must
be examination-that is, comparison OF
inventories made from time to time, If
the filing is to accomplish it's purpose,
namely, to enable the State to require
officials to account for property listed
against them and not found in a sub
sequent inventory.
There is to be no copying into rec
ord book in the case of county official
inventories, but they are to be filed and
preserved as records so that there will
| be at all times checks upon outgoing
officials by which they can be required
to account for property intrusted to
them.
The intention appears to be to have
each county in all its official depart
ments, and the State officials likewise,
take account of stock at least once each
year, thus introducing a well-known
and prudent business regulation into
official conduct.
