When Marriage Is the Tonic,


The welded state is favorite sub.
ject with the epigram makers. Srom
a very old ballad we take this:
There was a criminal in a cart
Agoin' to be hanged:
Respite to him was granted,
And cart and crowd did stand
To know If he would marry a wife
Or rather choose to die.
"Tother's the worst-drive on the cart r
The criminal did reply.
More modern Is this verse:
l would advise man to pause
Before he takes a wife
In fact, see no earthly cause
He should not pause for life.

describes a second marriage as being

The opening of the winter term OF
the medical school connected with one
Of the London hospitals was marked
by some addresses which have attract
ed considerable attention because of
the piquart way in which some old
truths were presented. The subject
was the growth of preventive medi-
cine; the increasing inclination Of ply
slcians TO devote themselves to STAMP
ing out disease In a community rather
than to curing 1t In an Individual A
little thought will, Of course, show that
this is true. The germ theory Of dis
ease, with Its corollary, the use Of anti
toxins; the connection Of mosquitoes
with malaria and yellow fever, the as
ISOLATION of rats and f1eas with the
bubonic plague, and of goats with
Malta fever the dangers of polluted
water and impure milk; the spread Of
consumption through the dried sputum
of sufferers from the disease-all these
things are a part Of preventive medi-
cine, the purpose Of which Is to keep
people well rather than to make them
well. One of the speakers. with lit
tie unconscious pharisaism, declared
that medicine Is the only self-limiting
profession, the only one the ultimate
object Of which Is to produce condi-
lions which will make itself no longer
necessary. This sounds well at first
hearing, but after all, is not the same
thing true Of the ministry, teaching,

The Chinese have worked along the
same line for thousands Of years. They
pay their physicians salary only so
long as the physicians keep them well.
When they fall sick they pay the doctor

going to eliminate the profession may
need to be reminded of the army officer
who was leading his little command to
a place the distance of which he did
not know. The first man he asked said
1t was four miles. After marching an
hour he put the same question to an
other man. "About four miles," was
his answer. At the end of another
hour he inquired Of third man. Keep

he said. The captain turned to his

"'Shawls,' indeedw said she. This

'But It's just Scotch plaid shawl

Two Great Water Projects.


On opposite sides of the continen,
two water supply projects-the great.
est In history-are engaging the at.
tention of engineers. They are the
plan for the Catskill addition to New
York's present system and that OF
Los Angeles for the utilization of the
waters Of the Owens river. Just as
the limit of the supply of the me-
tropolis is uncomfortably near the de-
mand, on account of the wonderful
growth of the city, so Los Angeles
which, instead Of a population Of co..
900 in 1890, now has nearly $4,000
has difficulty in making ends meet, SO
far as water Is concerned. So 1t Ii
proposed to draw upon the Owens
river valley and to bring its waters
to the relief of the city.
No other water system In the world
can compare with these two, and the
comparisons and contrasts between
them are Of considerable interest The
Los Angeles supply must be carried 22e
miles from the dam in Inyo County
to the north Of the city, to its desti-
nation; the length Of the new Catskill
acqueduct will be 1T miles. The Owens
river valley will yield 100000, 900 gal.
Ions daily; the Catskill reservoirs from
500,OO0,OOO to 6OO,o0O,OOO gallons. The
estimated cost of the Pacific coast prof.
ect is S25,0OO,O00, that of the new Cats
kill system $162,OOO,OOO.

Learn to Talk.

A noted society leader, who has been
very successful in the launching of
debutantes in society. always gives this
advice to her proteges, Talk. talk. 1t
does not matter much what you say T;
but chatter away lightly and gayly.
Nothing embarrasses and bores the av-
erage man so much as a girl who has to
be entertained"
There Is helpful suggestion In this
advice. The way to learn to talk is to
talk. The temptation for people who
are unaccustomed to society, and who
feel ditiident is to say nothing them
selves and listen to what others say.
Good reading not only broadens the
mind and gives new ideas. but 1t also
Increases ones vocabulary. and that is
a great aid TO conversation. Many peo-
pie have good thoughts and ideas, but
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1908-01-18

they cannot express them because of
the poverty Of their vocabulary. They
have not words enough to clothe their
ideas and to make them attractive
They talk around in circle, repeat and
repeat, because, when they want a par
ticular word to convey their exact
meaning, they cannot find 1t.
If you are ambitious to talk well,
you must be as much as possible In the
society Of well-bred, cultured people
II you seclude yourself. though you are
a college graduate. you will be a poor
converser.-Success Magazine.

than the British. In England one per-
son In 272 is cared for as insane. But
the facts are alarming in spite of that,
for insanity has been steadily increas-
ing In New York since 1897, and has
considerably more than held Its own In
PROPORTION to the growth of population.
II Is estimated that by the year 1868
| per cent OF the inhabitants of Great
Britain will be In insane asylums. and
If the growth of insanity keeps up its
present rate In this country we may
reach that proportion some time
during the present century. One
fact brought out by the State
Commissions report Is interesting,
namely. that insanity is notably
more prevalent among the foreign than
arong the native born. Foreign born

aliou' 81 per cent of its population.

There Is no more wholesome and en-
couraging sign In this country now
than the tendency to what Is called
the agricultural revival" The former
drift Of population from the farms to
the cities is checked. 1t was unwhole-
some and abnormal in country like
ours of .bundant land and boundless
fertility, and the reaction was bound
to come as surely as the return swing
Of the pendulum. There is a reverse
now from the city to the farm. The
causes Of this in every way desirable
turn of the tide are complex. First
and most potent, undoubtedly, is the
economic one, the increased relative
profitableness of farming and the null
tiplying evidences that the farmer is a
prosperous man.
