to curb the enthusiasm of the players.

What Is Constitution" as Applied
to Medical Practicep

Guido Bell, VI. D., Indiana Medical Jour.
nal) very apty and CXprc>siyey says Life
is work-a living organism is like a running
machine The work accomplished comprehends
the force received in the work and also the
force expended in driving the machine. 1t is
the same with the human body
But when We take the active forces in con.
sideration We find a great difference There
are the same forces in the living world as
in dead bodies. We can prove this. But
living forces have certain direction and
purpose
The duck on the water and the pike in the
water feed on the same substances, under the
same sunshine and in the same Surroundings.
But we see the same substances entering
different organisms, assume different forms, and
this permanently.
There must he within something permanent,
transmitted from parents 10 offspring, some.
thing constant in the development Of the or.
gansm and something indiyiSible maintaining
the unit. This is proven by the following
tdCts
All living organisms consist in general OF
the same substance, they are built up by cells,
they form units, they evolve from cells and
propagate by cells. We call this controlling
element animStic.
The opponents Of this view suffer under
miScomprohension Of things,
Matter and energy are not real things, but
elements forming things They can not be per.
ccved separately. nor can they he defined,
because they are clements, having only one
quality as to AL space or to he changoahe.
The anmisic element is Of the rank Of matter
and energy; it is not perceivaho nor dcfnahle.
But in its union with matter and energy IT is
readily recognized. We know al once the dog
kind is strange animal. II makes every organ
ism appear as a whole, never half or double
II is also the cause, that we cannot say, the
seed is the cause Of the tree or the father is
| the cause NJ the SON. hut the maker
This element controls physical forces. hut
| controlled force is the one we consider in the
| living body.
| At the bedside, when We refer 10 the conSti'
tuition oi the patient which may pull him
| through, we have this controlled force in mind
| But part nj the work ~ the living body
| is to receive substance and irritation from
| without which in turn enhance the driving
| power For this reason the work OF the lv-
| ing organism is not only cooperative as in

FASHION HINTS.

New York, July l9.--The most re-
freshing sights nowadays are the sum-
mer woman and the soda water foun-
tains. The latter lose their charm be-
cause of their stereotyped appearance,
while the former is a delight forever
because of the infinite variety display
ed in her toillettes.
Never was there season when thin
dresses played SO important a part in
the world of fashion, All the dressy
gowns are long and very fluffy, with
gauzy ruffles around the feet The
prevailing idea in the finish at the
hem is 10 give as much of the diaphan-
Gus effect al possible and one sees a
series of chiffon ruffles around the
hem of a foulard gown,
Touches of red will prevail through
the remainder of the season A
dressy gown of pale yellow linen is
trimmed with stitched straps of white
silk, The open blouse is worn with
a waistcoat of bright red silk.
An even prettier example is an ecru
batiste. embroidered with white and
made up with an elaborately trimmed
skirt and loose bolero that hangs over
A new and very smart idea in trim
ming is the use of taffeta bands on
white batiste. They may be straight
or waved on the edges, and dotted
over with French dots of embroidered
polka dots, The silk may be white,
or some pale color as you fancy, but in
either case the effect is stunning. One
band is at the hem, and another mid
way between the waist and the hem,
curving up in the back for skirt trim
ming. One narrower band around the
shoulders outlining the yoke is a de-
lightful finish for the bodice.
Nothing makes a more charming
gown for luncheon or afternoon use
than white mohair. A design develop
ed in this material worn a few days
ago had a drop skirt cut to flare and
finished with hem two inches IN
width. Just above this hem a bias
band Of white liberty satin embroid-
cred in tiny black French knots was
applied. A little less than two inches
above that another band the width OF
the intervening space was placed
The narrow belt was OF silver.
The Eton jacket, an unusually smart
affair, cleared the belt sufficiently In
the back TO allow peep al a pale blue
underblouse. The jacket was embrod'
cred about the edge in scallops with
yellow silk foss, but the mohair was
not cut away from the scallops. The
collar was a sailor and was made ol
the embroidered satin, the edge alsc
embroidered in scallops, but in this
case the satin WAS cut ont The Etor
was slightly fitted in the front and

Island Washes Away.

Sable Island off the coast Of Nova Scotia.
where so many ships have been wrecked is
gradually washing away, and, strange 10 say,
the Canadian government is doing its best 10
find a way 10 save it. 1t might be thought, at
first blush, that its washing away would be the
best thing that could happen, but the Trouble is
that it will wash down Just below the surface
of the water, and then lie there concealed an
infinitely greater danger TO navigation than
ever. So an effort is TO be made 70 keep il
above water. and this is 70 he done by plant
ing on il certain trees whose roots have peculiar
binding qualities The roots branch out widely
and nterlace, clineing 10 the sand in such a
wav that it becomes a strong wall. The French
government has used the trees effectively for
this purpose, and they have also been used
along the sandy banks Of the Suez Csnsl,-Ex.

eRO:ER CLEVELAND ON
PRESIDENTIAL TENURE
Believes the Chief Executive Should
Be Elected by Popular Vote, and
the Term Be Longer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Writing Of
the president of the Twentieth Cen
tury," for copyright special issue of
the New York World tomorrow, ex-
President Cleveland refers to the
presidential tenure in these terms:
Thoughtful citizens will more and
more appreciate the objections urged
against the present indirect and cum
bersome mode of electing their Presi-
dents. The circumstances in which
this plan originated ought no longer to
excuse such battling confusion of
ideas as grows out of the proposition
that in a popular government the peo-
pies chief officer and their most direct
representative may be made the re-
cipient of their trust and the deposit
tory of their power in fragrant oppo-
sition to. the declared popular will.
"Strong arguments are made from
time to time, urged in favor OF change
in the tenure of the presidential Office.
These should challenge serious atten-
ton. to the end that The present con-
stitutional limit may be removed and
more reasonable and useful one sub
stituted. There has been a continual
increase in federal legislation of a per-
emptory character and related to the
immediate and routine necessities Of
: country, and so it has come to pass
that of the four sessions of Congress
held during a presidential term two
are so brief as to scarcely permit the
passage of necessary appropriation
bills. while of the others one occurs
while the President is usually strange
in his new Office. and burdened with
opportunities and labors inseparable
from change of administration. and
The remaining one encounters during
its continuance the Interruptions and
decentralization of a presidential and
congressional canvass. These con-
uitions suggest the scant opportunity
allowed for the initiation and adoption
of new and important remedial legis-
lation during a presidential term.
another argument of considerable
weight in favor of the change is based
upon the complaint that the business
and other important interests of our
people are now too frequently disturb
ed and disuuieted bv the turmoil and
heat of q presidential election. II is
not amfss to add that substantial ex-
tension OF the executive tenure would
pave the wAy for establishing the IN
eligibility of an incumbent to succeed
himself-wnich has long found favor
with large class of our people as
consummation much to be desired
Thus American citizens in the TWEEN
tieth century W. be charged with the
duty of securing for themselves the
actual substance of popular rule by
establishing a more direct mode Ct
electinx the peoples chief executive
in strict accordance with the peoples
will. and by so extending the tenure as
to enable him to better serve his
countrvmen and more thoroughly pro-
tect and defend their interests"
