The question of the treatment of con-

furnished by the mountain streams that
everywhere electricity is invading these
quiet retreats where the romance and
charm of time long past still fingers.
Down the valley of the Var the Riviera Is
soon reached, and no doubt of living In the
twentieth century can arise. Here along
the Mediterranean the motor cars spin
from Nice 10 Monta Carlo and San Reno
and back to Toulon and Marseilles. Here
the accidents of the road are all detected,
and the car that started from the hotel
hours later draws up while the embar-
raised chauffeur repairs a punctuTe or
buries his arm In hot oil to find some i'm

very much the same as he has Always

back to his cattle and his scythe.

Just across from Kansas City, Mo, the
home of DIR. King, is the clinical depart
ment, school of medicine, of the Univer-
sity of Kansas. DR.. George H. Hoxie, dean
of the college. writing from Kansas City,
Kan, says: Il would state that the habit

our American life the extra stimulus given
to the stomach by the alcohol and other in

than helpful. What the American stomach
needs is more time for eating, and seda-

any other stimulant, such as coffee and

my statement holds true for Americans 'un-

Your second question requires also, to
my mind, more or less negative answer.
That is believe that the nutritive values
of the vegetable and cereal ingredients of
beer are SO slight that they do not coun-

Dr. Joseph Zeisler of the Northwestern
University of Chicago is terse In his state
ments: II fully believe that the moderate
use of good beer at meal times acts as a
tonic, and is, therefore. useful to adult
persons. The nutritive value of even the
richest kinds of beer is probably small But
the chief point In favor of beer, as COM
pared to other alcoholic beverages lies in
the small percentage of alcohol, and In the
fact that 1t is responsible for few drunk

Automobiles Stoned Long Ago.

From the Technical World Magazine.
Automobiles who have been fined for
fast running, stoned by irate farmers, pest
cred by offic,ous constables and lampooned
by newspapers, may. take comfort IN the
kr owledge that their original, some seven
ty-five years ago. passed through the same
experiences--only more of them.
The first quarter of the last century de-
yeioped an automobile craze fully as Yiru-
lent as the fad of today. In the 1S20's and
1905 steam wagons TO run on common
roads. turnpikes and toll roads became SO
peculiar with the higher classes in England
that the directors of stage coach COM
panies and breeders of horses took alarm.
They used their influence - slip number
OF little bills through parliament, permit
ting toll roads to levy tolls designed TO be
prohibit!ve on steam carriages and wagons.
The steamers were compelled to pay five
and ten times as much toll as was charged

TTHE great differences of opinion
among the eminent physicians of
the world on the widely published
III utterances of DR.. Jos an Old
field a famous London physician,
as 10 the treatment of consumption by the
Juices of vegetables, and his remark that
the stamina of the English people Is due
TO the beer of that country, has led to
the collection of probably the most valu-
able medical views ever gotten together.
A news syndicate OF Washington, follow
ing the publication in the leading daily
papers of the United States of the cable
story containing the utterances of Dr. Old
field, who had been led to discuss the
vegetable treatment of DR. Russell of New
York sent personal letters 10 30 of the
best known physicians of the United States.
The list of physicians was taken from a
medical publication that gives the name
of every physician I'm the country. and 1t
was decided that the letters should be sent
to officers of the principal medical asso-
Citations and societies. to the deans OF the
medical colleges, and to the chairmen OF
the various state boards of health. Be
cause the latter are more or less in politics
not much was expected in the way of def
mite answers from them. The selection OF
physicians, therefore, is regarded as above
criticism.
After calling the attention of the physi-
clans addressed to the utterances of DIR.

the country In September, especially en-
phasis was laid upon the following quota
ton from the London expert:
II am quite at one with DR.. Russell that
the cure OF consumption rests on increasing
the digestive capacity and improving its
nutrition. There is. however a further
point-and on this temperance people may

record of conflicts between auto and kodak.
When" she says. "as you speed along
the perfect roads of the Grand Chartreuse
view like the vision of the Graisioaudin
valley suddenly comes upon you, and pic
lures are thrusting themselves forward
from all sides at every moment, you sit,
poised kodak in hand, and-argue the point
with the chauffeur. A road, an incline or
level, and then to want to stop! He could
not comprehend. If people want to take a
car trip what do they want to take views
for? But sometimes, fortunately, there Is
puncture or the machine does not work
properly and the mechanical skill of the
Chauffeur is brought into play. Wherever
the accident may occur there is picture at
hand!'
The general appearance of the Rhone val
ley from Geneva to Lyons is extremely
varied. The Grand Chartreuse on the one
side, the Oisams on the other lakes and
pine forests, snowy SUBMITS, curious little
towns, great chateauS, hotels, chalets. saw
age desolation, rugged grandeur and the
most modern comfort-all within one kaief-
doScopic moment.
The grandeur of the French Alps has
scarcely been appreciated. The Savoy,
which has been called Normandy, with the
landscape of Switzerland and the sky of
Italy. has, of course, the king Of European
mountains, Mont Blanc, and in addition
the Lakes of Geneva and the Valley of
Chamounix. But the entire Dauphiny and
the Italian frontier down to Nice is con-
stantly imposing and majestic. To make
the run from Evain les Bains through
Thonau to Geneva along the shores of
Lake Geneva is to realize the joy of Swift
z,rland without the WEAKNESS of travel.
Then begin the new delights Down the
Valley of the Rhone, with all that might
be commonplace. sordid or usual, If such
things exist in France, blurred into a rapid

through the railroads that profane their
passes and through the hotels that assault
their stones. Switzerland became, with
these modern points of view and methods,
the convention ground of the tourist. and
now comes the auto to open new fields.
From Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean
in ones own motor car is a graphing with
nature that laughs at caravan, diligence,
carriage and railways ancestral and OBJ
solete. To be carried through valley and
over mountain, to speed along the immacu-
late roads that have become hoary with
legend since the days when all ways led to
Rome and TO attack with an intrepid
chauffeur the inclines that lead over the
long, radiatng shoulders of the almost un-
known French Alps. that is to realize the
meaning of mechanical progress, the mean
ing of travels, of delight and the conquest
of space.
