Health Without Know

There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence
without realizing the cause of
their suffering. Day after day
they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind
in their work of filtering the
blood and that is the root of
their trouble. Look to your kid

BRYAN APPEARS BEFORE

Urges Building Homes for American
Diplomats-WiIl Discuss Kahn
Act Later.

Secretary of State Bryan appeared
before two House committees yester-
day. He explained the estimates for
the diplomatic and consular appropri-
alton bill to the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, and dropped in for a moment
at the House Committee on Patents.
which began hearings on the proposed
amendment to the Kahn bill, provid-
ing a system of registration for for
eign exhibits at the Panama Exposi-
tion.
The Secretary told the Patents Com
mittee that he would appear before II

eign nations on the Kahn act.
When he appeared before an execu-
tive committee OF the Foreign Affairs
the committee recommend the building
OF substantial embassies for American

men available for these posts would be
able to represent this nation as grace
fully as rich men.
Thomas Ewing. Commissioner of
Patents, testifying before the Patents
Committee yesterday, said the Kahn
act, recently approved, should be
amended, because in its present form
il would lead to endless litigation.
Horace Petit, a Philadelphia patent
attorney. also complained against the
Kahn bill, saying that II afforded a
way to embarrass American mAnufac-
turers and to provoke law suits re-
garding the priority of patents in this
and other countries.

Modern Dances and Stiff Joints.

Modern dances so called-the turkey
trot, tango, maxixe, hesitation, bunny
hug (now nearly forgot, Boston. ct
al.-have been praised and cursed from
every angle of approval and disap-
proval by moralists, sociologists, idle
rich, busy poor, artists, preachers,
teachers, faddists-in short, by every
body who felt desire or a duty to
talk. Let us hear, then, a last word
on the subject, the Journal of the
American Medical Association speak
ing.
1t is a warning that the dignifed
and professional voice of the Journal
speaks:
1t seems somewhat late to en-
ter a mild protest against the
fervor with which the newsest so
called" dances have been taken up by
public already saturated with various
nerve and mind-deStroying amusements
and caprices. 1t seems unnecessary to
call attention to the fact that the tango,
the various waltzes, the maxixe, &C.,
are being arduously cultivated by cal
low youth and calloused old age. The
problems created by these dances diff
fer according to the age of the par
ticipants; for the young the question
of morality is paramount; for the old
the possibility of too great a strain
on a dilated heart or an arterioscler-
otic vessel is apparent The physician
will do well to caution the Stiff Joint
ed, aged patient, who derives too great
a pleasure from those-to him-po-
tentially harmful amusements
The minatory declaration of the
Journal is especially pertinent in view
of the assertions of teachers of the
tango and its companion pieces in the
art terpsichorean that their richest pat
ronage is from those who are in mid
life or even quite approached to the
sere and yellow. The magically re-
juvenating effects of the modern meas
ures are eagerly set upon by those who
would call time backward in its flight.
Perhaps to them, though the problem
is moral, the modern dances offer
greater danger than to the young, to
whom the steps are supposed to be
morally a menace.
The reason is not hard to find. 1t is
natural and healthfully normal for the
young to dance. 1t is ridicuIously un-
natural for the aged to tread such
as even youth finds it diff
cult to achieve with grace. Their
hearts, whether dilated or not, are not
up to the job.
