REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

CFrom the New York Press1
Virtue laceS itself too tightly.
Without women men would be their
own nurses.
Age teaches US that love begins where
passion ends.
When a woman is not sure of a mans
love she cannot be sure of his morals.
When a woman is sorry that she
doesn't love man as much as she'd
like to if she could, she couldn't IL shed
like to.
It's curious that when a woman plays
with fire and gets burnt she goes back
and does it again to see il it still burns
in the same old way.
Virtue apologies lot more than Sin.
You can repent in haste as easily as
you can marry at leisure.
Eve knew she did not like apples. She
only wanted to see how much she dis
liked them.
After 80, a woman's sweetest memory
is that when she was married she ate
no more than bird.

Faith Cure-and q POultice.
the New York Herald

From the New York Herald.
1t seldom occurs in this enlightened age
that there is not a man of the moment, of
the occasion, who says the right thing at
the right time and clears away a mass of
blunder and misconception.
The opportunity produced the right man
once more at the graduation exercises of
the Bellevue Hospital Medical College. He
was the Rev. David j. Burrell, who ad-
dressed the graduating class. He opened
the young doctors ears by declaring: II
believe in the faith cure" and then told
why:
''Hezekiah the King was going to die, and
the Prophet came in and prayed. The
Prophet prayed and put on fig poultice
That Is the point of the cure-after you
get through praying put on a poultice That
is the reason l believe in faith cure"
That is the position of the community and
the health authorities in nutshell.
Nobody objects to the prayers and spir-
itual administrations of the faith-curists
Per they can do no HARM but they can
not be permitted to the exclusion of the
regular practitioner.
1t Is the poultice that the law insists
upon, and 1t Is the poultice that will cure
while many precious appeals are made for
divine interposition.
