Dear Doctor:

Dear DOCLOT.
 Noting in my favorite paper that you will answer questions on all sub jects of health, I write for your ad- vice in my boys case. He cut his knee when he was 10 years old; he is now A. In a year he was, appar- ently, all right, but now at times the knee is weak and painful and the muscles seem to be too short. The joint is smaller than the other, but is not stiff. It will hurt for a week or more, then 1t may be wall again for a month. L. A. twice a week, seeking to keep the Concentration hot for a considerable length of time, rather than to make it extreme'y hot for a short period.

quire every guest to supply his own bath towels. The manage of those of resident physicians, do not risk as safe, such articles, even though thor ough,y laundered. But little less dan gerous are the public towels anywhere. Have your own drinking cup with you, wherever you go, as scrupulously as you would have your own tooth brush, and carry your own toilet articles when you start on even the briefest trip, where it is possible that such ar ticles may be needed, for even a mo ment.
 These admonitions and everything akin to them should be taught by parents, in the schools, and all the time. The approach of disease is in visible and insidious, and for this req son it is less guarded against, in the simplest matters. If a Tnalady like were lately shown by a capable and distinguished specialist in vital sta- t;stics, in Chicago, to have carried away nearly fifty per cent. of those who died in that city last year, should come with the roar of lion or the noise of a great gun, the utmost means of defence or escape would instantly be organized. And yet, neither herd of roaring Hons or a battery of great guns is so dangerous as these d seaSes. and many others that are entirely pre- ventable by carefulness in all the ways so frequently set forth in these Iec- lures from the Home Health Club.
 In the advise of Moses, commanded by the most High, to be given to the Children of Israel in the passage Of the wilderness, on hygiene and sanita- tion these everyday dangers were shown and directed to be guarded against thus to put away evil out of Israel"
 This subject may seem distasteful and almost uncanny, but it is one of utmost importance, and should be re- garded from that standpoint.
 To be brave is one thing, to be care ful is another, and there is no reason why they should in the least, militate against each other, and this is what is meant by the admonitions to guard against Everyday Dangers"

GaIne Birds StnrYing.

The decision of the Fish and Game commission to furnish feed for quail and other game birds during the win ter seems to have been wise one in view of the result of an investigat tion made by two Danbury sportsmen Thursday. They secured a quantity of food from Deputy Game Warden Wilkins and going over some accus- toned hunting grounds found several f1ocks of quail which appeared to be starving and also a flock of Hungar- ian cartridges. The cartridges as well as the quail were as tame as chickens and when they were fed, eag- erly ate the food, not leaving it when the men approached to within few feet of them

Pure Democracy" Delusion.
From Leslie $


Government which comprises the ini-
tiative. referendum and recall of officials
and of judicial decisions Is government by
impulse and caprice. Rome's plebiscitum
was the initiative In its essential form,
while the recall is the ostracism OF
Athens under a new name. Both worked
badly and were discarded Under mod
ern conditions and in q great nation like
the United States, they would work worse
than they did in the countries in which
they were invented.
In a crude but effective way the I'M
tiative and recall had their little hour
on the stage during the French revo,u-
ton, and the experience in those coun-
tries and periods was not such as would
commend them TO Americans Of the TWEEN
tieth century. The recall of judges and
of judicial decisions would bring a reign
of demagogy and OF mob rule which
would disorganize our whole judicial ma
chnery and reduce our orderly system
of law enforcement to the level of the
