1t Is Still ResOrted to by Doctors In
Certain Emergencies.
Bloodletting. or 'venesection," as it
is known scientifically. was once the
common remedy for nearly every form
of ailment Washington died of it, in
the opinion of modern medical authc2i-
ties, and soon after his time there was
a reaction against venesecdon. Better
| medicinal agents accomplished what
ever benefits were attributed to this he
| roc treatment, and better knowledge
of physiology condemned the practice
Nenescction, however, is still en-
plOyed in certain emergencies by the
most advanced practitioners. A Ger
man physician has made an extensive
study of the subject, with clinical ex-
pcriments. and reaches the conclusion
! that in certain cases where the heart
and lungs are eng0rged with blood
venesectiOn Is permissible because of
the speedy relief it gives, often after
other resources have failed.
Deadly toxins are also present in the
blood in some diseases, and venesectioI
reduces them. The lost fluid is replaced
with an injection of salt solution
Bloodletting affords relief to the livid
sufferer from a distended heart when
every breath is struggle, but its use
has been reduced to an exact science,
and 1t is regarded in medicine as a
final resort for giving ease in a COM

SUGGESTION is A FooLl,sH ONE

Instead of advocating Govern.
ment confscation of large fortunes,
President Roosevelt should turn
his resourceful mind toward the
enactment of the legislation that
will prevent the accumulation OF
such fortunes, by governmental
favor. He might begin on the
tariff, for instance. In urging the
socialistic doctrine of division, he
begins at the wrong end. The
more sensible, the more equitable
plan is to find what causes such
great accumulations, and then
seek the remedy. The division
doctrine is at variance with the
Constitution and common sense,
An inheritance tax and an income
tax are theoretically if not consti-
tutionally sound, but any scheme
of di vision is not only dangerous.

SAD CAREER OF OLIVE LOGAN

The name of Olive Logan was
once well and widely known. She
was an actress and afterwards an
authoress and play writer. She
took up literary work in England
under the tutelage of Charles
Reade, the novelist, and married
an author and newspaper man
who was appointed United States
Consul at Cardiff, Wales, by
President Grant. Later her hus-
band died, and while writing
plays for Augustin DAILY, she
married a second time. A few
days ago she had her husband ar
raigned in court and urged the
magistrate to commit him to an
institution. They had been turned
out of their small apartments for
non payment of rent and were in
the direst want. 'I still love my
husband, but he won't bring any
money home, He stops in the
saloon and his money is all gone
by the time he gets to the fiat"
Her husband is a night Waterman
and twenty-five years her junior.
She is 81. Drink has brought
him to the bottom, and he has
dragged her with him. This is
the pitiful story of Olive Logan.

JEFFeRsoNs TEN MAxlMs.

Jefferson's ten maxims of prac
cical life, written in 1926 are
worthy of study:
Never put off till tomorrow
what you can do today.
Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself.
Never spend your money be
fore you have it.
Never buy what you do moi
want because it is cheap; it will
be dear to you.
Pride costs us more than hunger
thirst and cold.
We never repent of having
eaten too little.
Nothing is troublesome that We
do willingly.
How much pain have cost us the
evils which never happened.
Take things always by theil
smooth handle,
When angry, count ten be
fore you speak; if very angry, q
hundred.
