PATRIOTISM OF THE JAPS.
American Physician Who Inspected
Toxic Hospitals Relates
Rare ms stances.

DR. Jefferson Davis Griffith. of Kan
sas City, Mo, was lately in Paris on his
way TO America He left San Francisco
with Mrs. Griffith last June for a tour
of the world.
During the Spanish-American war,
says the New York Herald, DR. Griffith
was chief surgeon of the First army
corps, U. S. ", having previously con-
Quoted governmental experiments re-
garding the effects of bullets on the
human body, and one of the objects OF
his long journey was TO inspect the care
of the wounded in Japan.
He was in Toxic during the celebra-
ton of the victory of Liaoyang While
the people were rejoicing in the streets
hundreds of wounded were being
brought from the Yalu and from Port
Arthur.
Il have never seen greater patriot
ISM" said Dr. Griffith at the Grand no.
tel the other day. Men submitted to
great inconvenience and underwent
much unnecessary suffering without pro-
test The wounded arrived in freight
cars 10 the sides of which had been
nailed boards for hunks, three such
hunks forming tier on each side. They
were unattended by surgeons, and some
of them had been two weeks coming
from the front.
What particularly impressed me was
the great number who had received
stab wounds, showing that the fighting
had been hand to hand. One of the first
men ! examined had received 10 such
wounds-nine IN the chest and six in the
back, and they nearly all seemed to
have been made by blunt instruments,
AS ! leaned over this poor fellow,
who was fighting hard for recovery, |
told my interpreter to ask him if there
was anything that could be done for
him. The wounded soldier replied to
the question:
ives; get me out of this and let me
pet back 70 the front
After that l put the same question
to at least a hundred wounded men,
and in every instance the reply was sub
stantially the same. They were all
dUAlOuS 70 Dt DdNh again LlS nuns luC tn-
envy
In Toxic the hospital accommoda-
tons were excellent, all things consid-
cred. but there were many things which.
although perhaps necessary in great
war, would have caused widespread in
dignation in America. Our patriotism
has not yet made us stoics In aseptic
details the japanese are somewhat be-
hind the times, but the japanese citizen
is by nature sucA d Clearly person and
SO fond of baths tLat the consequences
of this scientific lack are not as serious
as they might be.
There is much typhoid fever among
| the soldiers sent home, but typhoid must
always be looked for in a great army,
and Japan is suffering no more than was
to have been expected.

first given is incorrect This IS d
question. II is matter of correct and
incorrect reading prefer the former.
A fine what? Not fine lady's, but 4
fine lady's gold watch. Lady's-gold-
watch is phrase word, same as cup
OF coffee, suit Of clothes, etc.
Don't say finished" for completed"
Note.-Completion includes finish
ing. One may finish without finish
ing 10 completeness.
Don't say firstly" for first"
Example; Firstly | will show you
the cause; secondly the effect: third
ly, the means of escape" should be
First | will show you the cause; Sec
ond, the effect; third, the means Of
escape"
Note.-There are no words firstly,
secondly, thirdly, etc.
Don't say "irst-rate" for very
we'll"
Example: "How do you like him."
"First-rate," should be How do you
like him?" very we'll"
Note-First-rate should be used only
as an adjective, never in the sense Of
an adverb That is frst-rate music"
signifies that it rates high; yet the
word superior or some other adjective
of like meaning would be better.
Don't say fixed" for repaired.
Example,: VIII you fix my watch ?"
should be "Will you repair my watch p"
Note-To fix is TO make fast; hence,
II may be seen that the word is seldom
used correctly One may fix a post or
fix a bolt, or fix many things when re-
pairing; but TO fix watch or fix a
coat or fix a cane is quite another
thing.
Don't say foot for feet"
Example: ut was ten ct high"
should be at was ten feet high"
Example: Not less than ten foot
of snow" should be Not less than ten
feet of snow"
Note.-The word foot, in this sense
should be used only as a cOmpound adj
jective; thus three-foot rule. a ten
foot pole.
Don't say follow after" for follow {"
Example: when he dares 10 follow
after me-" should be when he dares
to follow me-"
Don't say "forbear from"
Example: "He could not forbeqr
from weeping" should be He could
not forbear weeping"
