Trend of Scientific Medicine.

The trend of scientific medicine today is the prevention of acute or infections disease, and in its ac- complishment rests to a consider able extent our ability to prevent many oi the chronic conditions which harass and beset human kind. The first factor, and the one which concerns all, in the in- vasion of acute or infectious dis ease, IS the lowered resistance of the individual. This lowered re- sistance is brought about in var ious preventable ways, as, for ex- ample, indiscretions in diet, over fatigue, improper dress, worry, anxiety, exposure to untoward weather, unsuitably clad, while ex- cess of all whether social or business-alway tends to a lowering of the vital standard. When this happens the organism cannot withstand the invasion of disease germs. As these become active, the result is according to the weakest link of the individual. It may be an influenza, a bron- chitis, a pneumonia, or some other preventable condition.
 All people are not equally sus- ceptible by reason of a lowered standard, nor is it necessarily in- vited by any one transgression. What may be an indiscretion tor one person may be all right for another, unless there be super posed an additional indlscreton.

LARNEO BOOM

Would Make Ideal Mayor, Con-
gresham Tells Excursionists.

The mayoral boom started by
friends of President Abner z. Larned,
of the Board of Commerce, was given
decided impstus by Congressman
Townsend in his talk to the members
OF the board on the City OF Cleveland.
Sunday afternoon.
President Larned stands as an
example for YOU" he said. He Is q
man OF sterling character and high
ideals. a man who would make good
in any capacity requiring unusual
ability. imagine he could preside

but over city as WELL"
The applause that followed this re-
mark left no doubt as to how the
membership Of the Board OF Com

gaining ground steadily.

Cannon. because of the tendency to
impress the public by exaggerating
conditions that are not ideal. l some
times think that the most discourag'

library of congress. which Is the most
beautiful place in the country and
should be the most elevating; but
under the terms of the law, one copy
of every copyrighted publication must
