New Names-OId Things.

The old-fashioned doctor who fought
disease with the aid of the pharma-
copoeia is apparently having rather
hard time of it. Long ago he gave up
the center of the stage to the surgeon
with his marvellous instruments and
daring operations. On the other side
he is beset by the serum-therapist, the
psycho-neurologist, the hygienist, the
dietitician, the sanitarian and the as
sorted flying squadrons of faith heal
ers. White pills and brown mixtures
in bottles have fallen into sad repute.
The physician who resorts to them
falls under the suspicion of being
something of fogey or something of
a quack. But, in justice to the old
fashioned general practitioner, it may
be pointed out that a great many of
the new fashions in the curative art
impress one as being the old methods
under new labels. To give anesthet-
les nowadays is not enough; one must
give an anesthetic without frightening
the patient. "Anoci-association" is the
name of the formula of ether plus psy-
chology; but "anoci-association" Is
strangely reminiscent of the classical
bedside manner" and psycho-therapy
is not unrelated to the familiar sugar
pill.-New York Evening Post.

A DIFFERENCE.
II Paid This Man TO Change Food.

What is called good living eventu-

the reverse of good health, writes a.

stomach became so weak that food
nauseated me, even the lightest and
simplest lunch, and I was much de-
pressed after a night of uneasy slum-
Der, uniting me for business.
This condition was discouraging,
as l could find no way to improve it.
Then l saw the advertisement Of
Grape-Nuts food, and decided to try
it, and became delighted with the re-
suit
For the past three years l have
used Grape-Nuts and nothing else for
my breakfast and for lunch before re-
firing. 1t speedily set my stomach right
and congratulate myself tat have
regained my health. There is no great
or comfort for tired man than
lunch of Grape-Nuts. 1t insures restful
sleep. and an awakening in the morn

Bruges, Belgium.-At the beginning
of the fourteenth century Bruges was
a city Of 100000 inhabitants. II was
not only the most important city IN
Flanders, but next to Venice the
greatest trade center in the world.
Its harbor was filled with ships, and
its people were enormously wealthy.
Their homes we're filled with every
luxury. Their churches and public
buildings were beautiful, and the in.
sides were decorated with precious
gems, beautiful windows and exquisite
carvings.
Art flourished as the town grew
richer, and it produced such painters
as Van Eyck and Hans Memlinc.
Then came an awful blight upon
the city. The twin, or chanenl:
which connected Bruges with the sea
became clogged up with sand and
mud. At first it was only the larg
est ships that could not get past, but
gradually the sand became so high
that 1t formed a bank across the
Irwin and Bruges was cut off from
the sea- And with the loss of trade
the town became deserted and fell
into decay. The people that remain
ed behind became so poor that aims
houses had to be stationed through
out the city and it fell upon the
church to support them. Even tc

it still retains, 1000 are paupers.

The belfry alone seems to have
lived through the past, and it rises
high in the market place like an old
mother watching her sleeping chill
dren. The belfry is the heart and
soul of Bruges. In olden days a
Waterman was stationed here always
to signal the approach of enemies OF
the breaking out of fire.
In the square below the belfry
market is held, and here everything
can be bought from a piano to a
collar-button. In the corner of the
market place is the famous chapel OF
the Holy Blood. In the under part OF
the chapel are a number of cold damp
cells where the people go to pray

Jail to Sober Trainmen

The Kansas railroads are preparing
to ask the coming Legislature to en-
act a law making the drinking of IL
quor by trainmen punishable by a
heavy fine and jail sentence.
All the railroads have rulings that
their trainmen, engineers, firemen,
conductors, brakemen, flagmen. por-
tiers and train dispatchers, as we'll as
switching men, must not drink while
on duty.
Now the railroads are going to ask
the state to help them stop the prac-
tice entirely and also enable them to
keep some of the most efficient en-
ployes.
The roads would suspend a train
man caught drinking while on duty
and then would also prosecute him in
the state court and send him to Jail.
Then it is believed the trainmen
might reform and actually quit using
liquor while on duty more to avoid
the Jail sentence than to avoid dis
