APPENDICITIS PLAGUE COMING
Nearly Everybody Must Undergo Op- eration or Perish. Says Surgeon.


 The United States Is fast becoming a nation cf appendicitis victims.
 This was the assertion of Dr Jabez Jackson, prominent surgeon and mem Der of the American Medical Associa- ton, during discussion regarding ab- dominal surgery.
 According to the present statistics" declared pr. Jackson, fit will only be few years until every one In the country Is affected with appendicitis and is forced to undergo an operation in order to prevent death"
 AS practicing physician and sur geon in New York and the south for a number of years, Dr. Jackson has made speciality of abdominal surgery and has performed a great number Of appendicitis operations-more than any other surgeon in the country. some say.
 High living, wning and dining, late nights and Irregular habits were some of the causes attributed by pr. Jack son for the rapid spread of appendicitis
 "The whole question devolves itself into one of whether we are not exceed ing the speed limit of living" he said T, for one believe that we are. In fact, 1t has been scientifically determined that we are living too high. And that Is one of the greatest causes of ap- pendicitls, the malady which is bound to grip everybody in this country If the conditions and circumstances are not changed
 Now, thls idea of after theatre sup pers causes as much appendicitis as anything else What chance has a mans stomach and appendix when he persists in loading himself up with rich foods late at night? None at all. AS a rule, the appendix is one portion of the human anatomy that is peaceab|e and good -natured as long as 1t Is treated right. The minute 1t com mences to get crowded It rises up and rebels strenuously.
 "A large amount of rich food taken into the stomach causes certain dis turbance and inflammation to set In which extends through to the intes- tines. Then with both the stomach and intestines in poor working order, the inflammation rapidly envelops the appendix, much pain Is caused, and the quickest and best remedy Is to have 1t cut out just as soon as surgeon can be reached.

PRINCE AFTER WIFE
Ludovico Altieri Hopes to Cap ture French Canadian
 Bride.
INTERESTS ROMAN SOCIETY
Affair Somewhat Overlooked on Ac- count of Abruzzi- EllSins
 Match.

When in Rome do as the Romans do," Is such good advice that many American girls follow it by marrying titles. There Is in view another Rom an princess coming from the Ameri- can continent to Rome.
 Roman aristocracy Is much interest ed In the departure of the young Prince Ludovico Altieri for New York for the purpose of arranging a mar riage. This indeed for the moment has usurped the place of the Abruzi-' Elkins match In society gossip
 The house of Alterl dates back to 1000, when the name was Albertoni. the change taking place In 1876 on the death of Pope Clement K, the last male member of the original Altleri family, whose name. being of higher nobility was assumed by the Alber- tonis, one of whom had married Laura Altlerl, niece of the pope.
 The Altierl family belongs to that portion of the Roman aristocracy which remained faithful to the vati can, and the father of the present princess was colonel commandant of the palatIne guards when, on Septem- Der 20, 1870, the Italians occupied Rome.
 The present head of the family, Prince Ludvico. will be thirty at the end of the year, and has always shown desire to marry an American but has found that there are many slips 'twlxt the cup and the lip.
 There was talk of his being engaged to Miss Walsh, who has Just married Edward Mclean, and last year he was supposed to be in love with Helen, the young and pretty daughter of Martin Maloney of Philadelphia, who was made marquis by Pope Leo and who was then In Rome to fulfil his duties as private chamberlain to the present | portiff.
 Prince Altieri followed Miss Malo- ney from Rome to Paris, she always refusing. according to the story. to en- ter Into any engagement. saying she would return to Rome this year, when she would be entirely free.
 Although Prince Ludovico dld not understand what this meant, he con scented to wait, and left Paris 10 re- turn 10 Rome, after having presented her with pretty jewel. A few weeks after the girl went home she sailed away with a young Englishman. and II was then discovered that she had been secretly married to a young American all the time
 The lady the prince Is now on the point of really marrying Is not an | American, but French Canadian who lives In New York. She travelled last winter In Italy with her mother who was not In good health, and dur. ing that time met her prospective hus. band
 On her return 10 America her mother died, and now the prince has gone to join her and see whether and when 1t will be possible to arrange for their marriage.
 Prince Ludovico is tall and fair His mother was an Austrian, the princess of Urach and consequently of almost royal birth He has taking manners and has ono of the oldest and most beautiful places In Roce with which to endow his bride.-New York Times
