In answer to his other questions; and
turned with relief to the stories OF
Lefty Lanes charity, and to the

they couldn't make him forget the

ferns, 1t was with sinking of heart,
a great pity for her. and still de-

Faithful Work.

When the meningitis epidemic
broke out in Texas, it was neces-
sary that the serum to combat the
disease be administered by one
familiar with its use. When Dr. So
phian-the physician chosen--was
sent to the field, he may not have
realized the hard work that lay be-
fore him, but we find no record OF
finching from his task. At any rate,
a few days later he was in the midst
OF the epidemic, working twenty or
more hours day, bonding all his
energies to the humanitarian work
he was sent to perform. When mcdi-
cal men work like this and fall a
prey to disease, exposure or strain,
we honor them as martyrs. The
v6ournal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION says that 1t Is not uniting
that we occasionally chronicle a fine
piece of self-sacrifcing devotion to
duty, even though the recipient of
the praise has returned to his rou-
tine work and will doubtless deplore
til publicity thrust on him.
