as not foiowea by a sense of having

vas not followed by a sense of having | overeaten. After dinner the Doctor, led the way across the open space occupied by the l graves to the brow of the hillock and down a pebbled path.
 | This Is the path to the Rockaway
 River," he said. "The first thing in the
 morning, each one comes down here for | a natn. By this time the edge of the river was reached. It was a beautiful stream, hordered on the further bank by thick undergrowth of bushes. The wa | ter or the placidly moving stream was golden brown-it looked like water min- gieo With sunshine. Beyond the bushes the steep side of the mountain. its foliage
 oeginning to show an autumnal tinge, l rose into the blue depth of the sky. AL together 1t was glimpse into Arcadia. swinging on a branch of one of the | bushes was a bird. It was picking at l something. See that bird" the Doc tor exclaimed, simultaneously. There Is no berry there It is just showing us by its motions that natures food is the food which We should eat. It is pleasant to sit here while you take your bath and watch the birds and flowers. Some peo- pie don't like the bath. This morning 1 had to persuade new patient that it was the thing for him to do. It was so cold, he said, told him 1t would be all right Then l gave him his bath, and he felt so nice that he was perfectly satisfied. Some people think 1t shameful to go about un- dressed. It is more shame to be sick. Of course, if people want to be sick, why, no one can do anything for them."
 As he talked he passed along a path through the pines to another bathing place some distance down the stream. This is the bathing place for the wo- men," he said. "They have another part Of the air park They have all gone home for the season now" Climbing the hill from the river through the woods, the section set apart for the women who take the treatment was reached. It proved to be the building seen across the lake when entering. There were poles for stretching muslin screens around the ground occu- pied by the "graves' and the tents. ''We have telephone between the two parks" said the Doctor" sso that we can talk to each other" There appeared to be little probability that these modern Di- anas would be obliged to punish any modern Actaeons.
 After the bath" he continued, as he went down the hill toward the head of the lake. "the patients walk around until they are dry. We never use soap. If Ma | ture had intended that we should use | soap she would have provided 1t. There Is no morning meal. The first one Is the
 meal at noon. Some of the men receive clay packs. The moist clay is put on the parts of the body which are diseased.
 Then the patients lie down in the graves
 for a couple of hours, thin covering of earth over them. About Il o'clock they get up and go down to the river and wash off the clay. Then they are ready fof dinner. About 3 o'clock those patients who require 1t receive clay packs again
 and lie down in the graves for an hour or two. Supper is at o'clock: Then games are played until bed time. Most
 of the patients sleep out of doors on the grass with 8 blanket and mosquito hood over them. The sleep you get out of doors Is different from that you get in a
 bed. That is a dead sleep. Out of doors
 when one wakes, one is wide awake all at once. When it rains in the course of the night you can see every one taking
 up his bed and making bee line for his tent"
 By this time the Doctor and The Tri-
 bune representative had passed the head of the lake and climbed the hill to the mems park, as it is called. One of the
 younger patients was chopping wood with
 no clothing on his body. It required a
 moment to adjust the mind to the idea of
 chopping wood with no clothing on
