Can Americans Talkl

Am obstacle to good conversation is
the American passion for ideas. AL
though In all conversation there
should be ideas, yet am certain that
these ought not 10 be made the ruling
topic. A philosopher as philosopher,
can not be made personally interest

and to amuse by maMng special APP

sible to define; only they must be
kept In the background and must pre-
serve well-bred behavior, not thrust

do so much when Americans talk.
Rather they should be like elderly
chaperons In a party OF young peo-
pie VINO gossip together and keep the
proprieties, but take no part In the
dancing.

Safeguards for Young Men.

Neighbors.

"A good neighbor Is always the most
desirable of possessions, although in
some cases their social value is under
estimated. What constitutes a good
neighbor is also frequently miscon-
strued, although the sensible accep-
ton of the term is, the ueighbor who
Is friendly without being officious'
helpful, without being superfluously so
and finally one VINO respects the pri-
vacy of others household affairs by
certain degree OF iormality of man
ner.
The social neighbor Is not always
the useful neignbor, yet eacn In her
place has special influences to exert
OF equally beneficial consequences.
The sympathetic neighbor is also a
popular one, but she has to exercise
continuous tact, lest her solacing in
fluence may occasionally be overdone
or utilized at untimeIy periods. Tue
inquisitive neignbor Is always dread
to everybody within the reach of her
inquisitive curiosity as she does not
seem TO have any intuitive respect for
others feelings as regards their divul-
gence of personal affairs to an out
slider.
The truest and most respected of all
neighbors, however, is the one who
devotes the largest snare of ner sym
patnies to her own affairs, is chary
of administering unsolicited advice
and VINO always waits until her social
and useful capacities are requested,
and never renders herself officious
even in her most sanguine efforts at
proving to be a good neighbor.

PHYSICIAN USED
Bee STINGS
To Cure Rheumatism and
Obtained Good Results.
Two or Three Bees Are Used at
First Then as Many as ten
Sting the Patient.

DR.. Swami comes from Stockbridge,
Roosevelt Hospital, for the last two
weeks has been experimenting with
much success on rheumatic patients
In the hospital. The treatment con-
sists simply of a sting or stings from
good old honey bee on that part of
the anatomy afflicted with the painful
complaint
DR.. Swan comes from Stoclabridge,
Mass. and when boy ne learned all
about the superstitions and legends so
dear to the heart OF New Englanders,
especially the farmers. Among them
was one that bee sting was sure
cure or a preventive Of rheumatism.
Two years ago he was graduated
from the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, and since that time has been
attached to Roosevelt Hospital. The
number Of inmates there suffering
from rheumatism led him to remember
the story OF the bee. After thinking
It over for some time he determined
to try an experiment He wrote to mis-
mother, Mrs. John Swami, Of Stock
bridge and -asked her to send him 100
choice honey bees each week The
second consignment arrived day or
two ago.
How the treatment Is given was ex-
planned to Times reporter last night
by DIR. Swami. He pointed out that
1t was merely an experiment, and was
based on nothing more solid than the
old New England superstition men,
toned.
+, y have so far tried the treatment

case. i had nothing TO back my be-
lief. However l think this is based
on the fact that the sting causes
counter irritation or that the peculiar
poison OF tine bee sting act as an an
tidote 10 the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.

terers from rheNa1atism-th whose

AFTER a while the bees got busy,
and when the patiest was stung once

treatment renewed daily, the number

glass at time.
"As i said the results have been
most satisfactory, but it Is too early
yet to say anything about the ultimate
result of my experiments. / hope to

sion but, 50 far as it has gone, ] am

1t Is well-known fact that people
keeping bees and those who come m

ed with rheumatism. although there
