president Of the Royal College of Surgeons, who
recently returned from South Africa, describes
in The Lancet a visit which he paid the
American hospital ship Maine on February a.

says:
Everything that could be desired for the com
fort of the wounded, both from surgical and
a nursing standpoint, is to be found in this ves-
sell Unfortunately, the ship itself is not what
could be described suitable for a hospital

The sum awarded by the Delagoa Bay Arbitra-
ton tribunal is much less than generally ex-
pected, the popular idea being that the award
would range from s6OO0 900 to s100oO4OO

mand upon the brain.
''For more than twenty years, "
writes this DOCTOR" / have per-
mitted my sick to do without food
so long as there was no desire for it.
Not a mouthful was enforced in any
case, not one mouthful denied on the
first hint of hunger.
SIN this l have had all the medical
textbooks and the entire medical
profession as authority unquestioned
against me. That food is needed
to sustain the strength OF the sick
has never been a matter of question
with the medical profession.
MANY of my sick have gone for
more than a month without food
One very sick, in bed for more than
a month with acute rheumatism, was
able, to walk iabout the room on the
forty seventh day before the first
food was taken. Another patient,
a woman of 81, went until the forty
third day before she broke her fast,
and without any omission of her
ordinary duties. A diseased stom-
ach was cured as the result, and
now, after five years, there has been
no return of the trouble"
Physicians are pretty generally
agreed that Americans eat too
much-especially too much meat.

so very silly after all.

Right to Tax Rolls.

The Port Huron case, involving
the question of the right OF the state
tax commission to possession of the
assessment rolls of that city has
been set for argument in the su
preme court next week Tuesday.
The ease, it is understood, involves
the same question that was raised
against the commission at Ironwood
where possession of the assessment
rolls was first denied by the local
authorities, but later granted.

Principal Feature of the Pictured
Rocks Hit by a Northeaster.

The Grand Portal, the most strik-

Pictured Rocks, near Marquette,
was destroyed by a northeaster u
few days ago. The Portal was 100
feet high by 40 feet broad on the
water line, and the cliff in which it
was cut rose 30 feet above the arch.
It's great cave has from time to time
received large excursion boats.
Portal was the biggest scenic at
traction on the south shore of Lake

AFTERMATH
1t has been clearly demonstrated
that it is useless TO buck a circus or
Buffalo Bill with a'County Fair.
Miss Mary O'Hearn assisted Mrs
Hill in the S~ecretary's office and her
work was of the most satisfactory
kind.
There vas a notable falling off in
stock exhibits this year, much to the
disappointment of the majority who
attended the fair.
John Miller made a capital starter
of the races and all the horsemen
are loud in their praises of his ad-
ministration of affairs of the track.
One of the best exhibits of the fair
was that of poultry. Little Tommy
Davis was made superintendent, and
all who had birds on exhibition were
pleased with the gentleman and his
work. He was always on the spot
and cared for the comfort of the
birds in a way that left no room for
complaint.

There is a systematic preparation
being made, far beyond the ordinary,
for the State convention, this fall, of
the Iowa Christian Endeavor Union.
This great meeting will be held in
Ottumwa, Sept. 25 to 27. 1t is con-
fiidently believed that there will be
one thousand delegates in attendance.
Among those on the program are
John Willis Baer and DR.. j. Wilbur
Chapman. 1t is a notable fact that
all recent great gatherings have been
well attended. The indications are
that the now widely-talked Christian
Endeavor meeting will be no excep-
tiOn.
