DEMANDS FOR TALENT.

There are urgent demands for con-

tory of mankind were the demands
upon cultivated talent so urgent as
now Society, church and state unite
in solemn appeal to the thousands of
gifted, well trained college graduates
TO consecrate themselves to the minis

The greatest lesson l can recall to

MY young friends, as you leave

your thought fixed upon the achieve

greatness in your several callings. No

and that true greatness is achieved
only by surrendering ones self to the
service of ones fellow beings. The
greatness illustrated by Moses, Apostle

YSHEHASFOUND
USE OF APPENDIX

NEW YORK, Oct 15.-Dr. Israel
Feinberg. president of the Board of
Coroners, says that he has arrived at
a new conclusion with regard to the
history of the vermiform appendix in
the human being and its utility Dr..
Feinberg spent Is years In the study
of the appendix, seeking cure of ap-
pendicitis and to discover the purpose
Of the organ in the human structure
The conclusions which he has reached
ape novel in medical annals
Briefly, DIR. Feinberg believes that
the appendix is of vital importance in
the unborn child. After the birth of
the child Or. Feinberg declares, the
utility of the appendix is at an end
and the organ gradually atrophies,
until in mature life it stimulates a
rudimcntary mass of tissue.
THE appendix is found i'm an en-
larged state in the child before birth,
DR. Feinburg said, las is commonly
know H. the child at that period pos
sesses several organs that differ
greatly from those which are found
Immediately after birth. when he be-
gins 10 breathe and take nOurishment
for instance. the heart, the lungs
aud the intestinal tract. In my Opin-
ION. the appendix has some particular
action in relation to the intestinal ca
nal until the time of birth.
From various opportunities for OBJ
seryation and experiment / have dis
covered that the appendix has a
valve-like action upon the intestines
which prevents the entrance of for
eign substances into the body of the
unborn child After the birth of the
child the appendix gradually grows
smaller until at last it contracts so
that only a small opening is left in
place of the wide mouth which for
merly opened into the intestinal tract
"That the appendix sa rudimentary
organ, due to the fact that there is no
use fer it after the child is born. and
that it. therefore, becomes atrOphied,
/ admit. but that the appendix of
the unborn child is a rudimentary or
gan deny After the birth of a child,
when the appendix ceases to func-
tion, another valve known as the ileo-
cocoal takes up its work, so that the
same results are achieved by nature
through another organ"
DR. James J. Walsh, an eminent au-
thority upon medical affairs, express
ed interest in DR.. Feinbergs observa-
tions
DIR. Feinbergs conclusions are not
only possible. but probable" was the
way Dr.. Walsh expressed himself.
"As yet we know very little about the
true function of the appendix. and
any new light upon its place in the
human scheme is interesting. I shall
be pleased to follow DR.. Feinberg' s
deductions further.
eff what Dr. Feinberg says is true
about the use of the appendix before
birth and its atrophication after birth
then the appendix is an organ some
what analogous to the thymus gland,
behind the thyroid gland in the thrc/
The thymus gland is very large Just
before and after birth, but when the
child is two years old the gland grad
ually trophies-shrivels up-and APP
parently is of no further use.
But /, for one, must take issue
with DR.. Feinberg when he says that
the appendix, in after life, is use
less organ. I believe that it has a
very vital place. BY forming and
loosing white blood cells into the in
testines it prevents many a serious
ailment."
