The Strength of Nakedness.

One has heard, Of course, the laconic explanation
Of the Indian who was asked how he could stand
the cold with so much of his body exposed: Ind
ian all face 1t appears now that he was antel-
mating recent medical discovery which is SCI
forth and strkngly illustrated in The Interstate
Medical Journal" Of 81. Louis
This medical discovery has to do with the treat
ment Of tuberculosis 10y exposure TO the suns rays.
Heliotherapy is the word Continental physicians
have practiSed it for some time with fatteriug
cess in Alpine resorts and in this country it is be-
ing adopted at the Sea Breeze Hospital at Coney
Island. II consists in a gradual exposure Of the
entire body TO the direct action OF the suns rays
until the skin becomes copper chocolate in color.
Surprising seems rather mild term when we
turn to an accompanying illustration which depicts
white children patients at Leysin, naked except for
breech clouts. ski running in the Alpine SHOWS.
They are white children-that is, genercally speak
ing In reality their sturdy little bodies reflect the
brilliant sun from deeply bronzed surfaces.

A Municipal Roof Garden.

The municipal roof garden which Bridge Com
missioner Kracke is comforting on the East Side
by having the esplanade at the Manhattan end OF
the williamsburg Bridge enlarged will be boon
this summer. That congested district needs every
thing it can get in the way Of playground ana
recreation centre facilities. This one, high above
the street level. ought to have its peculiar adj
vantages which Park Commissioner Ward, coop
Grating with his colleague, can develop.
New York has many unused resources like TINS
which little thought and slight expenditure OF
money would convert into benefits TO its citizens
The scheme 10 utilize vacant lots for Fairgrounds

make the city much better place for its people

Sir: Reading your editorial OF June

vocate the adjustment OF the fixed

Woods is very much misinfOrmed when
he only sounded the demands Of some
of the precinct commanders.
This innovation of the unlamented
Waldo was the only good thing he did
While it might make a few police
men Aatfooted, it gave a good many
citizens relief from the many burg
laries and hold-ups of the toughs. A
person in the night could be muir
dered before you could get police
man. Now you know where to tind
them at the fixed posts.
II you investigate statistics you VIII
find that there are far fewer burg
laries, etc. Then you will see who
gets more benefit out Of the fixed
post, the few fatfooted policemen or
the citizens. | agree with you that II

THE SCoURGE OF SMALLPOX
How Vaccination Has Made II Rare
Disease.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Charles NJ. Higgins, with his
iconoclastic ideas, is running amuek
in the columns of your and otner
New York newspapers, and, while
admire his fighting proclivities, must
necessarily take issue with his ideas.
My own argument against Mr.. Hig-
gins's theories is simply that | and all
my friends and all Of my friends
friends have been vaccinated, and
never a one Of them has ever been
afflicted with smallpox. Instances Of
people having this dreadful disease, as
Mr.. Higgins himself says, are rare, but
some years ago it was terrible
scourge, and that before vaccination
was known and practised. In those
days 10 see a person who was peck
marked was not an uncommon sight
To-day the reverse Of this fact is the
rule.
have met many doctors in my tins
and never yet have seen one who would
deliberately do anything to mar the
ethics of his profession, and said pro-

Nothing exceeds it of its kind IL is
the greatest power for good outside Of
the Bible, and the men and women
affiliated with it sacrifice more for
humanity than many other powers for

THE VARDoN SWING IN ACTION
Mr.. P. A. Vale Pays His Respects to
Its Supremacy.
To the Editor of M Trihnnc

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial comment
you said on June 20 "Tnat severe
theorist, Mr.. p. A. Vale, may rail at
the Vardon writings upon the game
OF golf, but there is no railing at the
Vardon swing in action" Will YOU
permit me to say that the work which
you referred to as "the Vardon writ
ings" has probably no more connee-
ton IN reality with Harry Vardon
than any one Of your staff has
IL is matter of notoriety in Eng
land that the books which are ascribed
20 the great golfers are produced by
hired writers who themselves neither
know nor play the game. The result
is that any one criticising the work OF
men like Braid, Taylor and Vardon
and exposing the gross fallacies which
are associated with their names, is
put in an absolutely false position.
The nonsense which is published
under the names of Braid, Taylor and
Nardon has done and is doing i'm.
measurable harm to the game of thou.

Golf in itself is sufficiently difficult
even if one be correctly Instructed

TO play the game well, if one attempt.
to follow the curious notions which
one finds there.
There can be very little doubt tina
Harry Nardon is the greatest living

POTATOES BY THE POUND
This Method of Sale Does Justice to
All Concerned.
litor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Noticing that the Third Ward
Taxpayers and the Farmers Association
Of Long Island have discovered a short
age of two pounds in a bushel of
potatoes, it appears curious that dry
measure" quarts, pecks, bushels, etc,
should be used in dispOsng Of pOta-
toes and other vegetables, apples, nuts,
etc, when it is so much easier and
just to trade by weight.
In Colorado and other Western
States potatoes, etc, with apples and
other fruits, are bought and sold b.
weight altogether; consequently it
makes no difference about the meas
urement. Oats, for instances, vary in
weight per measured bushel from % to
AZ pounds, and the farmer who sells by
measure, using light oats, cheats the
purchaser, while he who sells the
heavy oats by measure cheats himself
Disposed of by weight, in bulk. justice
is dispensed to both, and the labor of
measuring avoided.

The Growth Of Christian Science

growth Of the various religious de-
nominations in America, with particu-

that Christian Science has experienced

Secretary Bryan continues to dig into the unpuD'

which will take the edge Off the abject apology
which he inserted into his treaty with Colombia

the failure Of the Hay Heran treaty. Naturally

sew dances arc splendid: ! think they've done
more to make old people feel young again than
anything else They're better than tonic. But
they're difficult and one has to take lessons ana
It's expensive I think the way many people
even society leadcrs-arc making money by teach
ing is wonderful don't you: But they're making
one mistake BY changing the steps SO often. No
sooner do YOU learn one dance than its out OF
date. That's done so that the teachers can keep

like the waltz: and the hesitation is restful.
