o II GOLF PLAYERS.
Here Is n little problem that came be-
fore the handicap committee of a Western
golf club the other day:
The players were engaged in n foursome
tournament which was TO be scored on the
Taft system, adding together the strokes
OF the two partners instead of taking only
the best ball.
Tom Slicem, playing with Dick Slaff
as a partner, turned in a card of 1874 for
the eighteen holes in the morning. In
the afternoon Tom Slicem played with
Harry Pullem as his partner, and they
turned in a card of liz. The next morn
ing Dick Slah played with Harry Pullem
as his partner, and their card was lis.
What the committee want to know is,
What would have been the probable score
of each OF these men had be been playing
alone or had his individual score been
kept?

WHAT THE TONGUE CAN TELL.
More to Eyes Than TO Ears, When the
Eyes Are a Doctors.

1t is a fact that in every disease there
are a whole lot of things that cannot be
read from the patients tongue. Tho
classic wall 4No tongue can tell the agony
of my suffering" is of wider application
than the patient uttering it is aware.
1t is equally patent. according to
American Medicine, that in every disease
the tongue has a valuable story to tell
and that the practician who ignores this
story is in no n modern. scientific or
practical. In the light Of day we do not
cursorily examine the tongue; we keep
an eve upon il. Not merely it's aspect at
the outset OF treatment, but it's variations
are of prime significance.
The tongue findings are directly and
vitality connected with diagnosis, treat
ment and prognosis. The mere presence
of a coat on part Of the tongue may sig
Nifty nothing. A heavy coat that promptly
fades on proper treatment and shows no
tendency to reappear is OF less significance
than the lightest coat that sticks firmly
or promptly returns.
In a disease like tuberculosis, in which
results of treatment hinge upon the per-
feet intact ness OF the, gastro-intestinal
functions, it Is of vastly higher importance
to scrutinize the tongue from day to day
than the affected lung, In practice We
are too prone to disregard this most
obvious fact. Either to amuse the patient
or to satisfy a personal curiosity we
thump the chest when We had better
thump the Office floor.
In recent years through tho light shed
upon the alimentary tract by bacteriology
we have come to recognize local disturb
ances as expressive OF loss of floral bal
ance. In ordinary parlance the tract has
become with weeds. This TX
shown by rude but plain evidence in the
condition Of the tongue.

I'M
Germany More Likely to Draw Them.
Says MIR. Yen OF Columbia.

NO, China will not send many students
to the English universities. They are too
oonservative-too much Greek and Latin.
The Chinese must look to the future, not
to the past" This is the view Of Mr..
H. l.. Yen. a bright and clever
young Chinese student who last week
received his degree Of master Of arts

Of his Government and Of what practical

vision OF the Chinese Ambassador, being
one Of about one hundred and fifty Chinese
at present studying in the United States

supporting themselves.

in the future. This is u partly to the
fact that German influence is very strong
in northern China, where there are extern
sive German settlements; but II is due
more to the realization Of the Government
that the German monarchical principles
are more adaptable to it at present than
the democracy Of the United States.
These young students Of scientific gov
eminent thoroughly realize the serious
ness Of their work. 1t seems strange to
Mr.. Yen that the average American stu

kind OF course merely because 1t is n
family custom. Three OF the Chinese
who received degrees from Columbia
had already done undergraduate work
in native colleges, leading up to an equiva-
lent to our A. b.: Mr.. Yen from st. Johns.
Shanghai; Witsen S. Shan from Nam
yang College, Shanghai, and V. X. Well
ington Koo from st. Johns, Shanghai.
They were all enrolled under the faculty
Of political science and studied 'constitu-
tional law, administrative law. interna-
tional law, political economy and sociology.
Mr.. Yen expects to spend two more years
in study, possibly In Germany. Then he
will go back home, pass Government ex-
aminations and place his knowledge ac-
auired from Western civilization at the
service Of his country.
