 His experiments prove that good oatmeal such as Quaker Oats not only furnishes the best food for the human being, but eating it strengthens and en- larges the thyroid gland-this gland is intimately connected with the nourishing processes of the body.
 In conclusion he says
 It seems probable therefore that the bulk and brawniness of the Northerners (meaning the Scotch) has. been in som e measure due to the stimulation of the thyroid gland by oatmeal porridge in childhood '
 The Scotch eat Quaker Oats because it is the best of all oat- meals.

The Physician.

Dr. Cathelin of Paris declares that no person who does not possess cer- tain "six moral senses' should attempt to enter the medical profession-viz, the sense of duty. the sense of respon- sibility, the sense of kindness. the sense of manual skill (which he sub divides into the sense of boldness and the sense of prudence), the sense of beauty and the social role, "The sense of duty toward the patient" so he is quoted by the Boston Globe, ''is the very first requisite in a physician. It can only arise from a positive and in- nate altruism or love of ones fellow creatures-a quality similar to that which moves the hospital nurse to the care of the stricken. There can be no personal sensitiveness nor lack of in terest in details, as against an absorb ing curiosity that complicated cases arouse, and yet, with all this sense of duty, which calls for extreme good ness and sensitiveness of heart, he must not show a trace of emotion when his duty calls him to operate on a Mckinley, a Carnot CT q Frederick IT1 ..y -z.. s. -ts .

 There is one kind of food that seems to me of marked value as a food to the brain and to the whole body throughout childhood and adolescence (youth), and that is oatmeal.

.OSTEOPATHS FIGHT
TO BURY The DEAD
SERVE NOTICE OF APPEAL FROM
SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Only One Point Missing For Fuil
Recognition - Counsel Explains
Fight Made by Practitioner.

---Tb patTs~UL New York have
decided to continue theiF Gsht for
the right to transit permits to bdro
their dead. Clerks from the offices Of

Platt andLit-leton. hare served MOTTO
es Of an appeal TO the Appellate Di-
vision Of the Supreme Court on Dr..
Darlington. President Of lie Board Of
Health and on Corporation Counsel
Francis X Pendleton.
This appeal is from the decision
of Supreme Court Justice Crane. who
recently upheld the action of the
Board of Health in making an amend
ment to the sanitary code, which pro
vides that transit permits to bury the
dead may be granted only where the
death certificate is signed by doctor
of medicine.

ing counsel in this case, In the abz
sence of Martin W. Littleton, chief
counsel OF the Osteopathic Society,
when urged las1 night to give the le-
gal status of the case from the view
point OF the ost eopaJhs said:
There are no abstruse points
OF law involved. The case resolves
itself merely INFO one logical Sc
ouence. The law compels the ackDow-
ledgemnt Of the osteopaths as mem
bers of q regular school of medicine
The Board of Health is compelled to
register them as such ana to receive
their death certifca Ter.

TO issue q death certificate. does it

in law. follow that he has the right

tieRt?
NuliiGes the Death Certificate.
The Board of Health cannot re-
fuse to admit and record a death GER
tifcate from an osteCpathi physician
but It can and does refuse to bury
that dead patient unless a doctor OF
medicine certifes that the patient
died from natural causes.
