A Bay State belle talks thus about

down. My friends thought | was
marked for consumption-weak, thin
and pale
Il realized the danger | was in and
tried faithfully TO get relief from med
icines, till, at last, after having en-
ployed all kinds Of drugs, the doctor
acknowledged that he did not believe
it was in his power to cure me.
while in this condition a friend in
duced me to quit coffee and try Post

hope that II would do me any good |

doctors from far and near, but they
said 1t was no use to doctor as

OF my rope and was so miserable with

During recent years the growing
tendency toward surgical interference
to cure disease has been a subject OF
Infavorable comment both in and out
Of the medical profession II has be-
come the general belief that many
practitioners are too ready to resort to
the knife. For this reason opinions OF
prominent surgeons, as expressed at
the congress recently held in Chicago
commend themselves as evidence of
saner professional view. These sur
geons announce that the reaction has
set In. and. that the drift is away from
operations and toward greater de-
pendence upon medicine. AS the ideas
acquired at this congress will be i'm
pressed on the profession all over the
country the effect of the discussions
should be generally apparent. Let us
hope that surgeons will bear In mind
the advice OF men eminent in their
profession, who protest against oper'
ations that are not absolutely neces'
sary, says the Chicago Daily Journal.
While the splendid achievements OF
modern surgery inspire admiration II
should not be forgotten that Its re-
sources are designed to be used only
when less radical treatment proves un.
availing.

A train in Arizona was boarded by
robbers. who went through the peck

of them happened TO be a travelling

his turn came. flashed out 5000. but
rapidly took 81 from the pile and
placed il in his vest pocket

Michisan's Cleanup Day.

July % has been set by the state fire
marshal as cleanup day" On this
date the people of Michigan are ask ed
TO dispose Of rubbish 10 easements,
warehouses, stores, factories, public
buildings, ETC., in order to reduce the
fire risk The request deserves gen
eral respond.
Annually this country burnes up
millions. Since 1879. the first year
for which statistics are available, the
loss has mounted steadily Ia. that
year it totaled $77.703 700. In 1910 1t
had reached S2lO,OOO,O0O. Think Of
how many universities this would
en- low. how many libraries it would
build, how many children it would edu-
cate, how many proverty -stri' ken men
and women it would feed and clothe.
Ninety per cent of this loss is charge
able TO carelessness gross criminal
carelessness in little things.
One OF the little things" that
cause fires is untidiness, the throwing
away in dark corners of paper, packing
material, shavings, etc. A stray
match "a spark. cigar or cigarette butt
or spontaneous combustion does the
rest. Because Of this national habit
Of thoughtless untidiness the fire loss
10 this country Is the highest in the
civilized world. Because Of it the
business men of this country stagger
under abnormally high insurance rate.
Who Is responsible? Everybody
or nearly everybody. Those not care
less themselves tolerate carelessness in
others. Thus the blame must be
widely distributed. The remedy lies
in everybody doing those lutte things
that prevent fires. Experts can talk
OF elaborate systems for prevention
they are good within their limits but
ne real cure lies in the people them
selves taking Just such simple precaut-
ions az the fire marshal suggests.
Setting aside particular day for
cleaning up is good idea. IL concen-
trates public attention on the subject.
Let all cooperate in remembering
July % this year and then make every
day thereafter cleanup day."
