PRIME MINISTER OF PERSIA

The ruler of a country which has
been so welded to ancient customs
as to fall far behind in the progress
of the world may be ever so intelli..
gent and progressive and ever so de.
sirous of adopting modern systems,
but he can accomplish little unless he
can bring his advisers to his way Of
thinking. That is the position in
which the young shah of Persia has
found himself Realizing that the
financial system of his country is
archaic and that there can be no real
progress for Persia until the coun-
try's money affairs and credit are put
on a firm and modern foundation,
some months ago he invited w. Nor.
gan Shuster and a corps Of Americans
to come to Persia and take full charge
of the country's finances for a period
of years. Mr.. Shuster and his COM
panions are in Persia now, but both
they and the shah found great diff
culties in their way.
The plan was bitterly opposed by

tracts-for there is not single partf-
Gle of nourishment in a barrel of them
They act like whisky. They stimulate.
But that is all.
The medical tradition that large
quantities of fiuid-water or other
taken at meals "dilutes' the gastric
juice, and therefore interferes with di-
gestion, is absolutely wrong. The
stomach compensates the extra liquid
by increasing the flow of the Juice in
sufficient quantity to keep 1t up to
standard digestive power.
When the stomach is more than nor
mally acid, the administration Of aka
line solutions-such as soda-produces
no effect. The alkalinity is compen-
stated by increased acidity.
When the gastric juice, on the con-
trsry, is not as acid as it should be the
administration of alkaline remedies"
ON the theory that the stomach will
produce acid to compensate the alkalin-
| ity-is in vain again. In deficiency
| of acid in the stomach-called techni-
cally "hypochloridia" = alkaline re-
acid. What a mystery there is here!
Since Beaumont's time it has been
held that the presence in the stomach
of any indigestible body-such as a
| blackstone or a silver dollar-will pro-
duce a free flow of the gastric juice.
| Pawlow has shown repeatedly that this
ancient belief is wholly wrong. You

trio juice before a morsel of food en-
tiers the mouth. The sight, the smell,
or even the thought OF food starts up
the flow of the juice. The ancient no.
| ton is that the stomach does not, and
cannot, secrete its Juice until stimula-
ted by the presence, in it, of food.
This preliminary secretion Pawlow
calls psychic juice" IT'S production
discloses how beautifully the incom-
prehensibly complex mechanism Of
the nervous system rises to meet stu
ations in advance of their actuality
Pawlow, in his almost too poetic way,
calls it the prophetic power of the
organs and tissues of the body.
And Pawlow has made many impor-
tant discoveries about the work of d.
gestion other than those recited. What
a pity it Is that the average praeti-
toner of medicine still clings to the
old notions! True, were Pawlow's facts
applied to the practice of medicine,
there would, as consequence, follow
a severe shortage in the number of
prescriptions given as we'll as filed.
The doctor and the druggist must live,
and the half-educated professor in the
average American medical school can
not be expected to teach what he can
not understand. In view of which
there seems to be considerable sound
sense in the reforms suggested in med.
ical education in America by Mr.. FIex-
ner end his friends.

cabinet work. There are between 800
and 600 different species of the cac-
tus family and the actual number
probably greatly exceeds this. They
are without exception natives of Amer
lea and their extraordinary forms con-
stitute a remarkable feature in the
vegetation of the warmer regions. All
of them have fleshy stems, often very
soft and juicy, and in numerous in
stances suitable for good. Most of
them are leafless, only a few species
having true leaves. Instead of leaves
most Of the cacti have clusters of hairs
or thorn.
The whole organization of the cac.
tus adapts it to withstand long
droughts. They vegetate vigorously
during a part of the year when mois-
ture is available and then rest for
long time. Some of the cacti family
grow on high mountains reaching
nearly to the limit of the snow, while
others thrive only in torrid districts.
The plants of this botanical order are
a great boon to the natives of the dis
tricts in which they grow, generally
regions destitute of water. The stems
of many of the varieties contain a
wholesome Juice of which both men
and livestock avail themselves, and
some species produce a pleasant fruit.
The cultivation of edible cactus is
still in the experimental stage.

body, which include the typhoid and
adrenolin glands and a portion of the
pancreas. The juices secreted by this
gland, according to Chicago physi-
clans, largely control the growth of
the bones of the body. When the Sc
cretion is plentiful the bones grow to
an abnormal size, but when it is com
paratively small in quantity the
growth of the bones is retarded. When
the secretion is caused to flow freely,
say physicians, a rapid development of
the bones is the result. Thus, when a
boy or girl is Ill for some time with
fever, the diseased condition OF the
body causes the pituitary gland to be-
come unusually active, with the result
that the sick person grows like
