STATESMEN, REAL AND NEAR.
BY FRED c. KELLY

few years previous anixed his sigma
ture to the treaty, and q moment later
q horde OF Newspaper men rushed out
to send the news to the worldly tsle-
phone.
In the course OF the evening Dr.. Bell
and Baron Romura passed each other
in the hotel lobby. but as well as he
knew the inventor. the japanese showed
not a sign OF recognition. II would
have been contrary TO the japanese no.
ton OF diplomatic dignity TO recognize
anybody In a hotel lobby while there on
such an important mission.
DR.. Bell tells this story Of the early
days OF the telephone: He was awak-
coughing. II sounded like a croupy
cough and both father and mother were
alarmed. The inventor went to the teIe-
phone-as much as he disliked to use
the instrument-and called up q doctor
who was one OF the first telephone sub
scribers.
II don't like to make you come clear
over here" said DR.. Bell, unless it's
absolutely necessary, but we're quite q
there were only some way that you
could hear the cough"
We'll. what's your invention for?"
asked the doctor. why don't you put
the child up TO the 'phoneT'
Never thought OF it." laughed the
inventor. He held the child up close to
the transmitter while II had a good
cough and the doctor assured them that
It wouldn't be necessary for him to come
over.
Only a month or two ago Dr. Bel was
almost an hour late for dinner one even
ing. and his wife chided him about It
Tn Just as sorry as you are" said
the inventor. but II was absolutely un-
avoidable."
But It seems to me-" suggested his
wife, that you might have let US know.
In these days Of telephones on almost
every corner there isn't much excuse for
a man not calling up his home when he's
going to be late"
Yes" said the doctor. apoIogstically.
but you know how dislike to use a
telephone. Besides, I never thought OF
that"
Whenever II Is possible. Dr. Bell has
his secretary repeat telephone messages
TO him rather than use the instrument
himself. He hates the sight OF a phone
Just as an author hates to look inside
one Of his own books that he has worked
on till he Is sick OF IT.
Though the telephone has brought him
much wealth. DR.. Bell holds only one
share Of stock in the Bell Telephone
Company. All the rest OF his stock he
turned over TO his wife for a little pres
ent just before they were married

Health Lessons.

A distinguishing feature of the pre-
ent day is the greater attention that is
being everywhere paid to public health
and particularly to the bearing of food
upon the physical well-being. There is
great need of the sort of public talks
that are being given by the food ex-
perts in connection with the Agricul-
tural Department to the several organi-
zatious which are studying this vital
subject
There is no doubt that the question
of feeding, whether Of infants or adults
sick or well, is not properly understood
BY the general public. The palate is
more frequently consulted than is the
reason. To many persons. the simple
diet upon which the family physician
puts them when ii IS often a worse
affection than is the ailment which this
prescription is designed to cure
All of this public interest in food and
feeding and the spread of information
on this important topic is the direct
result of the pure food law That law
IS founded, as all such wise laws should
be, upon scientific basis. That basis
is sufficient to erect a new science, and
that science is the new one of proper
food and diet Few housekeepers have
a clearly defined notion of well-bal-
snced ration All of US know in a gen.
eral way the foods which do or do not
agree with us, and have learned by sad
experience which foods to avoid. But
few know which foods may be work
ing insidiously and secretly great harm
to the constitution, and all, at times,
commit the most serious ofenses
against the body and do it innocently.
The consequences OF this indiscretion
are often so remote from the cause
that it is difficult or impossible to con-
meet the two.
Here is where the new education is
calculated to do most good. There has
been a revolution in the feeding of in
fants in the last few years, and this
has been attended by remarkable de-
crease in infant mortality right here in
Washington. 1t can be directly traced
to the spread Of knowledge about modi-
fed milk and the proper care of milk,
brought about mainly through COM
mercial agencies But the good effects
of it upon the community have been
both great and evident. What has been
done in this direction may easily be
done in others quite as necessary. And
the course of public talks on the ques-
ton of proper diet and balanced. ra-
tions viii go far to correct the dietary
indiscretions that in great many in
stances lie at the bottom of much i'll
health For that reason these should
be encouraged in some practical way
so as TO reach as many as possible in
the community. 1t is home missionary
work of the most practical and helpful
character
