Shall the patient be told what ails him and what drugs have been pre- scribed for him or shall the physician maintain a dark and mysterious silence except as to the amount of his fee? This Is the question which was pro posed by no less a parsonage than the President of the American Medical AS sociation the other day. He did not an- swer his own interrogatory, but his ob- servations indicated that be favored policy of greater candor upon the part of the physician. There Is obviously something to be said on both sides of tine question. It Is true that the patient wants to know what Is wrong with him and at first sight 1t may look as If the physician ought to satisfy the desire for information. But there are good and substantial reasons why the doctor does not do so For one thing, the chances are that he does not himself know what ails the sufferer. For an- other thing, 1t might do the patient more harm than good to be told of his disease. The flrst-named reason h. wolves no reflection upon the skill and learning of the doctor. The physician never lived who could unfailingly diag- nose offhand and from one observation. Fever, for instance, marks the onset of dozen different diseases and until distinctive symptoms develop the medi- fa1I xrhiah nf tho dozen diseases Is in progress. Under such circumstances his obvious course Is to maintain a dignified reticence un- til he actually knows what Is wrong. To guess and guess wrong would be dis astrous. When we come to consider the matter of informing the patient concerning the drugs that have been prescribed for him the considerations favor a negative conclusion. There Is a psychic as well as a material force in medicine whose constituents are un- known to the patient All doctors know it. The bread pill and other ''placebos' prove 1t. Tell man that he Is taking calomel, for instance, and he Is likely to protest that calomel always disagrees with him and never did him any good. Give him calomel accompanied by the assurance that here Is most potent
 irug whose name he need not know and his sense of the marvellous is excited. He Is likely to put faith In the drug for the very reason that he does not know what 1t Is. That Is half the bat tie. Our modern physicians may not acknowledge it, but they practice faith cure more and more every day. The power of suggestion helps the calomel when the patient does not know what he Is taking. All things considered, therefore, the weight of evidence Is in favor of the policy of mysterious si- fence on the part of the doctor. It not only aids the patient but 1t helps the doctor, for the less he says the less he will have to explain if things go wrong.

The Awakening
 ==Of q Soul.
~~~~~~~~~~

"You have never been In love, Miss Heath?" The manager tilted back his chair comfortably, rubbed his hands softly together and watched hls com panion narrowly, a curious light in his keen, black eyes.
 "In love?" the girl repeated, softly, reflectively. "No, I have never yet tasted of that bitter-sweet experience My work will not allow me to think of such worldly things" with a faint smile. But why do you askT
 Samuel Chandler laid his handker- chief on his knee, folded 1t methodical- ly three times, tucked 1t in his pocket and then said slowly and with great de cision: Because your work makes It SO very apparent to me. Your tech niuue Is perfect, you have undoubted talent, but your acting lacks soul; you cannot reach and hold an audience breathless, try as you will"
 There was a long, painful silence, broken only by the sounds from the street below, which were irritatingly audible. When the girl spoke her voice sounded strangely mufled and unnat- ural.
 "I understand After all these years of labor, of self-sacriflce, of weary, hopeless loneliness, I am still failure as an actress You are rlght-my work lacks soul; I am conscious of 1t, all ways, and now I suppose the time has come for me to realize the hopelessness of 1t all, and give up my loved work forever"
 That Is needless
 The girl gave quick, impatient ges- ture, and her fair white brow wrinkled Into a frown. "Why should go on In this way, day after day and month after month, always aware that I will never attain any real result"
 "There Is still one hope for you"
 And that?"
 "You must go away from here for about three months; away from all these professional associations-far up into the mountains of New Hampshire And you must meet some man whom 1t will be possible for you to persuade your- self you are in love with. Better still, If you can really care for him. Make a god out of him-worshlp him-be jealous of his every look during these months. Then when you return to your work you will very easily forget him. If you will follow my instruc- tions, when you come back to me you will be an actress. Unless you do 50, you are utterly impossible"
 The girl walked over to the window and tapped nervously against the glass. Her eyes were big and expectant when she turned to her companion again, and there was a wistful little droop to her warm red lips
 "I will do as you advise," she said slowly.

 "You are i'll, Miss Heath?"
 She shook her head wearily and smoothed the folds of her black gown No, not i'll, only heartsick."
 The sun shone In through the win dow, gently touching her brow and warm, red lips and changing the loose tendrils of her hair Into strands of gllstening gold.
 "Tell me about it." the man urged gently.
 She gazed with dull, unseeing eyes around the familiar room, and her lips quivered pitlfully.

AN ABSURD ISSUE.

Whether or not it be true, as an In
diana humorist declared, that both the
constitution and the cocktail follow the
flag, the latter has been following pref
ty closely of late the distinguished In
diana citizen who would be delighted
to serve in the capacity OF hagpole for
his party in the next presidential cam
paign. Indeed, the cocktail has been
lugged INTO Indiana politics somewhat
strenuously, and the vice-president of
the United States, who is of the Meth
odist persuasion, is being criticized by
members of the same faith and creed
for his connection with the cocktail.
It appears that on Memorial Day the
Vice-President had as his guest in his
home at Indianapolis the President and
some other distinguished personages.
When dinner was announced a cocktail
appeared at the place OF each guest as
an appetizer. And hence the stir in
the politics of the Hoosier state.
It was understood that the Vice.
President is a totalabstainer and would
not even voluntarily pick the red
cherry off the surface Of the properly
made Manhattan. So rigidly does he
avoid things of this sort that he has
acquired the reputation of being the
only buttermilk candidate for the pres
idential nomination in years. And yet
he is being censured by a number of
his fellow-citizens in the republican
party for his connection with the Incl
dent referred to-.
Have the republicans OF the Hoosier
state forgotten that American politics
nave long been more or less closely
identified with appetizers. bracers,
night-caps or whatever you may call
them? There has never been a presi-
dental campaign in which these things
did not figure more or less, and it may
be recalled that a number of the good
old democrats who were sent to the
White House took theirs whenever
they felt so disposed. Can it be posi-
BILE that one little Manhattan cocktail
will stand between the Vice-President
and the highest ambition of his life?
Let's abandon extreme follies of this
kind in connection with the matter of
presidential nominations and get down
to matters that are sufficiently serious
to be worth considering. With a num-
Der of momentous questions involved
in the presidential campaign it seems
a waste Of time and utterly puerile to
try to make a national issue of a cock
tail.

How to Have an Appetite.

1t is a mistake to try to spur On the
appetite by the use OF acids, condi-
ments and strong seasoning of food.
These articles may for a time increase
the appetite, just rs the spurs on the
riders heels increase the speed of the
horse. But the additional food which
is taken is not likely to give h nour-
ishment and increase the strength as 1t
would do if the appetite were natural.
The true way to increase the appetite
is to tone the digestive organs and put
them in such condition hat food is
craved and is promptly digested and
assimilated. This is done by Hoods
Sarsaparilla which seems to have a
magic touch in all stomach troubles
and is a wonderful medicine for giving
a good appetite. Whenever your ap-
petite fails get a bottle of this medicine
and take it according to directions.
You/will find it will soon make you
hungry, and the food you eat will give
you strength and build up our system
in perfect health,

Standing by Nj. Fairbanks.

Charlotte Observer:
We note with interest that Rev.
Joshua S~transfeld, pastor of the In
d~ianapolis Methodist church which
numbers Vice President Fairbanks
among its members, gives Mr.. Fair
banks a clean bill of health so far as
the cocktail incident at the Roose-
welt dinner is concerned. Mr.. STAINS
field does not join in the defence made
by those apologists who declare that
the cocktails were procured only in
order to suitably entertain the wick
ed President-Mrs. Nations "beer-
guzzling Dutchman"-but expresses
belief that the caterer was responsible
for furnishing the Objectionable re-
fresbments. Reminded that a prohi
bition organ, The Patriot Phalanx,
quotes the caterer as denying this al
legation, Mr.. ~Stansfeld, still game,
replies: "Well, I know that I have
dined several times at MIR Fairbanks
| home, and at no time have I seen
the least suggestion of wine." So it
appears that Mrs. Fairbanks, though
she got her prudent spouse in trouble
by 'phoning for the Roosevelt dinner
cocktails is not altogether lacking
in discretion. Mr.. Stansfield further
says that his church instructed its
delegates to the Indiana Conference
to vote for Mr.. Fairbanks for delegate
to the quadrennial Conference to be
held at Baltimore next year.
