Famous Doctor opposes Drugs.

Sir Frederick Treves, physician to the
King of England, speaking at the opening
Of a London hospital, expressed the be-
lief that the time was not far off when
bottles on doctors shelves would be re-
duced to a very small number, n when
people would leave off the extraordinary
habit of taking medicine when they are
sick" At that time people would resort
to simple living, suitable diet and plenty
of sun and fresh air. He said the time
would come when it would be as anon
alous for people to die of scarlet fever,
typhoid, cholera and diphtheria as it
would be for a man to die Of a VOLTS
bite in England. He referred to the dis
c~overies in meteorological science as being
capable of reducing mortality from infec-
tious diseases to the zero point.

REASON FOR Els AGITATION.

Girl Railroad Passenger Discovers
Why Ira veler Was Disturbed.

the moment, however, I did n 0 feel in

American Peace Proposal.

an international court of appeals in re-

secretly, and the reports to be made pub
lie only If both sides agree; the decis-
ion, however, not to be mandatory.
