Driving Ont Disease.

When we speak about driving a disease out of the body we are talk ing sheer nonsense. What we can do, and what medicine does for us, is to favor the. body's power of re- sistance and repair. Medicines are given to aid these powers, while in a few cases drugs are known which possess actual powers of killing the germs that beset us. Quinine acts in malaria, for instance, because it kills the germs that develop in the blood, and other drugs which are specific for certain diseases probably owe their action to similar powers. After all, the doctor is only tho servant of nature in that his train ing teaches him to note symptoms. to weigh the probabilities of the case, to be on the alert to assist na- ture when occasion arises and to favor in every way the process of natural covery.-Scotsman

 Saturdays Football Game.
 To the Editor of the Democrat:
 Dear Sir:-In yesterdays edition Of the Republican, there appeared an arr , ticle headed in big type, 'sThe Game Disgrace" The piece referred to the Merrimac-High school football game that was played on the Athletic field Saturday afternoon. In the article the Merfimac team is, indeed, handled without gloves. It not only criticizes our club severely, but insults us fur ther by calling us a lot of 'muckers." They probably intended to insult us further by calling us "a lot of fellows out of the shops.'' But we don't con- sider that anything to be ashamed O. The fellows aren't afraid to work and some of them work pretty hard in the factories. Some of them, also. have pretty good positions. too. So as far as the reference to the shops is concerned, it doesn't hurt us particle we'll let that pass. Some of those High school students may land in Washington some day-and some may be up against it i'll the shops. Let us hope they'll all be statesmen, but if

High school players" the only thing necessary to say is that Referee Ken nedy, the coach of the High school team, examined the players shoes dur ing the game. He found no steel spikes and very few leather cleats. Coaches Durant and Gaffney are SUD- posed to be we'll acquainted with the rules of the game to know that they are not permitted to coach the players on the field. Not only in the game Sat urday but in the game two weeks pre- vious with Bristol High school the High school coaches were on the field and instructed their men, If there was so much slugging going on why did not Referee Kennedy, and also coach. rule some of them off the field? Is it because of the High school re- puthtion as players of gentle nature that they could not get a game with any other High school team in tile state? It was favor of the Merri- macs to play them owing to the fact that if the High school management had been able to arrange a game with any High school, no game would be ar ranged with us. I will now close, MT Editor, thanking you in advance for the space you have so kindly given me and hoping the High school boys will see their way clear to giving us an- other game. It will benefit them im- nensely ill their wind and give them more courage and grit.

"There's such thing as being too

sharply.

bara, family, and then sat silent
The thought of being in any sense
connected with Mr.. Morton gave her
feeling of bitter sweet.

continued, with what seemed like UNI
necessary sharpness. 81 don't know
but that l shall make the gift con-
ditional on it's being used in the So
cial settlement plan. So you needn't
ask me for any mopey to-day, sir"
she said, turning to Morton.
THANK you, Mrs. Vane. / know
how to take hint" he replied, grave
". And then he caught Barbara's
look as she glanced up from the car
pet, and his tone made Barbara laugh
little nervously. He joined in it,
and Mrs. Vane kept them company.
81 don't know what the joke is
about" she said, at last, as she
rubbed her nose again as If in disap-
pointment.
Its just as well, perhaps" Nor
ton said. ''Some jokes cannot be ex-
planned, not even by the makers Of
them"
He seemed to make no motion to
go, and after a few minutes more of
general talk about the proposed
house, during which nothing more
was said about the settlement Bar
bara rose and said she must go, as
she had some work to do before tea
time.
Mr.. Morton instantly rose also.
"May 1 walk with you, Miss Clark?
My calls take me your way"
Certainly" Barbara murmured,
and they went out together.
Mrs. Vane watched them from the
window as they went past. The old
lady was still rubbing her nose in
some veXation.
III he isn't thinking good deal
more of her than of the social set
Element just now, then I'll give twen-
ty thousand towards it instead OF
ten," she said, and then added: "They
couldn't either of them do better.
And if he doesn't have sense enough
to know what is good for him, I'LL
try to help him out"
Barbara and Mr.. Morton walked
down the street, talking about every
thing except the proposed building
and the social settlement plans. Aft
err the first moment of embarrasso
ment at the thought of walking witb
him had passed, Barbara was relieved
to feel quite, at her ease. She had
never looked prettier. She had gifn
of vivacious conversation. Mr.. Nor
ton was not her equal in that respect,
but he was at his best when he had
a good talker with him. They. had
just finished some innocent play at
repartee and were laughing over it
when, as they turned the corner to-
wards the Wards, they met Mrs. Dill
lingham and her daughter.
Instantly Barbara's face became
grave, and Mr.. Morton as he raised
his hat seemed equany sober. The
