A few months ago we were advised
that child OF personal friend Of
the editors, living In San Joaquin
valley city, had Bright's Disease and
that the family physician, who is al
80 known to US, gave the family no
hope. We suggested that he be sent
literature concerning the new treat
ment.
1t was sent.
This was several months ago. We
are now advised that It promptly took
hold of the case and that the improve
ment has been SO marked that recov-
cry is now imminent.
The family physician, upon noting
the abnormal change, wanted to know
what was being done. Being told he
advised by all means to go on with It.

treatment demand a new adjustment

Minute Men of the Coast.
From Harpers Weekly,


The record of this last year Of bird hus-
bandry on the breeding grounds of the
American sea fowl lies today in the
shape of a little pile of well thumbed and
creased report blanks. down at 141 Broad
way, where the National Association of
Audubon Societies has its headquarters.
The results of their days and nights of
beating up and down the shore and sea
have been scrawled into the cramped for
mula1of a dozen questions by the coast
wardens The rest OF the story is known
only to rare visitors on their stOrm-beaten
stretches-and to the birds, whose ances-
trail homing grounds they guard. The
advent of storm tides. the equally disturb
ing visitation of human destroyers and
even estimates of the eggs laid. the young
reared, and the increase or decrease Of
each species of their bird families are set
down with brief blunt comment by these
shepherds of the sea flock.
The exacting work of covering sea and
shore i'm every weather demands of the
Audubon warden the sternest qualities Of
sailor guide, pilot and huntsman. These
men are. in fact, picked from just these
classes for their added qualifications of
patience gentleness and sympathetic
knowledge of bird life. Many of the
guardians Of the rocky Audubon reserves
off the New England coast are veteran
lighthouse tenders or captains of life saw
ing crews. Others are guides and trap
pers of lifelong experience and local rep
utation. 1t is essential that each should
know every inch of his territory as we'll
as how to traverse Ii with speed and
safety in the face Of storms or treacher-
Gus tide.

Reforming the National Diet.

From the New York World.
The discovery is made that it is not so
much lack of food improper food which
causes East Side school children to faint
at their desks. School principals are at
work on plan to correct these condi-
tons. This Is in effect a proposal to i'm
prove and regulate the national diet 1t
meditates an attack on an established in
stitution. 1t is true that the American
dietary has been a standing subject of
European criticism for generations. 1t
scandalized Dickens and Mrs. Trollope
and 1t continues to excite the concern of
visitors from abroad. French chefs have
recently begun to find something to COM
mend in it. but their observations have
been confined to hotels where European
standards OF cuisine obtain. For all that
the reproach of our pie and baked beans
and hot breads remains
Yet il was on this diet that Gettysburg
and Appomattox were fought. On it the
telegraph. the telephone and the electric
light were invented. The Concord philos-
ophy was evolved on pie. Considering
what nation we have grown to be
through the violation of dietetic laws. the
wonder must be what we might have be-
come If they had been respected If the
nouthful East Side digestive organs are
\1able TO cope with the food provided for
Nm something should be done through
\srounds and larger allowance of
FRI air to strengthen them for the task
II " school children are to grow up to
but subways and Hudson river tunnels

Diet for Sieeplessness.

From the London Globe.
DR.. William Stevens says that insomnia
Is not disease itself, but the effect of an
unhealthy condition of body or mind.
When the cause is removed the insomnia
may be expected to disappear. Every
physician has had some stubborn cases Of
1t which would not yield to any treat
ment and for which change of air or of
scene became necessary. But such cases
as these should not occur. and do occur
only when the sufferer has neglected pre-
cautions that should have been taken
when the trouble first made itself mani
feet. Insomnia results from causes which
can be removed If attended to in season.
The most common cause is found in the
digestive organs. Either unsuitable food.
causing insomnia as feature of indiges-
ton, or insufficient food, causing the pa
tient to be kept awake by hunger. There
are few things which can be universally
recommended as diet for sleeplessness
since what will agree with one man will
disagree with another. But two things
that may almost be recommended are let l.
tuco and celery.

FEArs OF RAPID COMPOSITION
Quick Work of Some Writers of Pop
ular Music.

From the Westminster Gazette.
NJ Bompard, a French musician who
for a wager has composed the music to
song in ten minutes. is a formidable
rival to Mr.. HI. Trotere, of whose feats of
rapid composition some remarkable stories
are told.
His beautiful song "Asthore" was. It Is
said. both written and composed within
forty minutes In Blanchard's restaurant:
the famous melody OF In Old Madrid"
was jotted down in few minutes on a
biscuit bag in a little public house in Ro-
chester row. into which the composer
rushed on his way from the Aquarium
lest the air should escape him before he
could reach home: Go to Sea" was COM
posed under similar conditions in west
end music shop; and-crowning feat of
all--it Is actually said that Mr.. Trotere
composed "The Brow of the HILL wrote
letter and ran 4pD yards to catch the

Mrs. Asquith's Health.


Since moving to Downing street Mrs
Asquiths health has become very poor
and she may have to take a long rest
1t Is unfortunate that now, when she has
come to the summit Of her ambitions, her
strength hardly allows her to take the
share in her husbands position for which
she Is SO brilliantly qualified. Mrs. AS
quith is a woman of highly strung tenn
permanent. with acute nerves that have
to be treated with the greatest delicacy,
and the recent spell of anxiety and ex-
element produced by Mr.. Asquith's call
to the premiership and the reconstruction
of the cabinet has reduced her to a condi-
ton which might end in complete nervous
prostration. Although far from we'll. she
has taken SO high sense of her new
duties that she has made calls not only

ESTIMATE OF ROOSEVELT.

We venture to assert that President Roosevelt will appear to future gen. erations a much larger man than he appears even to most of his support CTS We believe that a good many of the little things that have offended even some of his friends. such as his fondness for newspaper controversy his inclination to charge dishonesty to those who do not agree with him, and his impulsive advocacy of several crude proposals-we believe that most
 incidents of this kind which have from time to time filled the public eye be- cause of their more or less sensational character will be forgotten and will be noticed only as Illustrative of his impulsiveness and aggressiveness. And the sources from which the biogra- phers and historians of a century hence will draw their material will not be the New York papers. President Roosevelt's merits as an eccentric will be judged first by the results in the country,s history that can be traced to his policies and by what can be gath cred from his own messages and ad- dresses. Future generations will not read into those documents what it pleases his hysterical critics to read into them. They will be read to mean what they say. not once, but a hundred times, So far as what they say shall be borne out by the acts of the administration. One law for the rich and the poor; a relentless at tack, not on all wealth, but on wealth that has been ill-gotten and on the methods by which 1t has been ill-gotten; the overthrow of those who are per ertving laws intended for the public welfare to their own private enrich ment to the detriment of the public such is the spirit Of all that Roosevelt has spoken or written on matters of national policy And what he has said and what he has done to put those policies into effect has the approval of he conscience of the public from one
 nd of the country to the other.-St Paul Pioneer Pitss.
