CHANGE IN MEDICAL VIEWS
Ideas That Were Held Sacred in the
Past Have Lately Been Radi-
cally Revised.

We are getting sound views on a
good many things with which we
have been going headlong in recent
years, remarks the Indianapolis News.
The rage for operation in cases of APP
pendicitis is subsiding. When the
discovery of the germ theory and an
tiseptic treatment made possible OPP
erations that until then were impos-
sible, a rage for operation in appendi-
citis came in. Now it is held that
operations for this affiiction, which
used to be called Inflammation of the
bowels, shall not be employed except
in the last extremity. Similarly it is
now affirmed that the appendix is not
a useless obstruction, but has import
ant functions.
There begins now protest against
the fresh air fad that has had its own
way these many years. Those that
have predicted that it was a fad like
the blue glass" treatment for rheu-
matism and other ills which ragged
many years ago, feel like prophets. In
other days houses had a "blue grass"
room just as in recent years they
have open air sleeping chambers"
added. And men and women used to
sit solemnly many hours a day, when
the sun shone, in their blue glass
chambers allowing the blue ray to
wander over their afflicted bodies.
Wonderful cures were the result. But
old rheumatism, like the cat, had the
habit of coming back. Now DR.. Dut-
ton, in the Medical Times, says the
profession has been carried away
with the fresh air fad. It is import
ant. he says, to distinguish between
fresh air and pure air. The latter
contains ozone, which is the vitalizing
principle of air and is free from par
ticles of dust. But fresh air is likely
to be dust laden and moreover is cold,
and often impregnated with moisture.
The dust is not menace to he lithy
people unless 1t carries germs. But
in the case Of tuberculosis ana Osher
anemic Affections, It is a menace.
Such cases suffer from the inability to
create heat. They require air that is
not only pure, but warm. To expose
them to cold, damp fresh" air the
doctor says, is cruelty without benefit
The problem for such cases is to pro
vide warm, dry, pure air with as much
exposure to the rays Of the sun az
possible.

TO DESTROY CANADA THISTLE
Being Perennial Plant, II Propaeates
Itself by Means Of Seeds and
Its Underground Parts.
Advertisement.

This weed occurs in the northern
states from Maine to Virginia, west to
North Dakota and Kansas, and in the
Pacific coast states from Washington
to northern California.
Being a perennial plant, the Canada
thistle propagates itself both by its
underground parts and its seeds. The
character of the underground growth
must therefore be understood in order
to attack the weed intelligently. The
root, which varies in size from one
quarter of an inch or more down to
very small feeding rootlets, branches
and spreads in all directions more or
less horizontally. The depth of this
root varies from few inches to a
few feet below the soil surface, de-
pending on the kind of soil in which
it has been formed. From any point
along the root buds may form and

depicted their peril.

". The bird must save that"
She seized a covered cage. BY de-

of various houses, finally seeking ref

Then at its front came a great up

Two hours later, at the head Of a

THE ONLY EXCUSE.

Oscar w. Underwood was talking
IN Birmingham about the high
prices of mems clothes, which tariff
reform will tend to reduce, according
10 the Age-Herald.

wood, "that many $25 suit contains

hard to see, if this is SO, why such
high prices should exist. The dealer,

have to answer like Mark Twain's
sandwich vender.
"Mark Twain, after paying a quar-
ter for wretehed sandwich at sea-

were a few English speaking people
in Aylhi. He had met most Of these
a few evenings since at a social func-
ton, Miss Wharton and her brother,
Harold, among them. Once having
met Eloise, he could never forget her.
She had told him that she and her
brother planned to leave for Bengay
and then the country at once.
There was a warning token Of dis
quiet in the air the days following.
Ralph was a comparative stranger in
Aylhi and did not entirely under
stand what it all meant. He noticed,
however, very few English speaking
people on the streets and had been
told that most of them had gone to
Bengay. He inferred that rumors of
an uprising Of natives in the near
neighborhood was the cause of this
but this was permanent cause of I'M
rest in the community, and he did not
attach any unusual importance to the
rumor.
Now he had seen Miss Wharton,
whom he supposed had left Aylhi
days previous. To his further won
derment she had disappeared in a ma
tive shop. She did not come out for
an hour or two. Ralph marvelled
and then he became anxious. He en-
tered the place.
A Parsee trader sat on his cushions
behind the counter conversing with a
dignihed yizier, some close friend.
Both regarded Ralph keenly, but not
with animosity.

A FAIR Y0uNG GIRL
sy AUGUSTUS GOODRICH lsHER-
WIN

WIN.
A fair young girl was strolling
along the beach just beyond the city
walls OF Aylhi. The sun was hot, as
was It ever at this, the sultriest town
In the dominions Of The Raiah Afendi,
yet she had her sunshade closed.
Ever and anon she would pause, ven
ture in chase Of a receding wave, use
the end Of the dainty parasol as a
stylus, and then, tripping back lightly,
would laugh at the grim pursuing ele-
ment she had cheated.
A young man followed her at a
worshipful distance, and she all un-
aware Of ii. He urged or retarded
progress according to the chances Of
discovery. At last be came to one
Of the spots where the girl had writ
ten in the sand, and where the waves
had not washed out the clearness Of
the letters.
"E-LO-LS-E."
That was the name of the graceful
young lady--Miss Eloise Wharton.
Ralph Evans knew that. Yet he gazed
with fondness and interest at the fad
ing letters reminding him of her. He
followed a dozen Of these fanciful
traceries, some clear others one-half
obliterated. Then there was final
.one-and two names this time. But
the Eloise was blurred. The z was
missing, the / and S merged into a
sort of q v, so that what remained
read LOVE" and added to it were
the letters, RALPH"
Was it fancy on his part that
demure yet expressive inclination Of
the golden head of the beautiful girl
indicated that she had espied him,
that in hayward mischief she had set
a lesson in the sand for him to con-
strue?
He hoped it and the sentiment fed
his longing heart He quickened his
step. The girl had entered a street
of shops. Then proceeding less than
half hundred yards, she disappeared
within the broad open doorway of
curio store.
Young Evans came to a halt,
scanned the place so he would re-
member it and reflected His envir-
onment was a peculiar one. He had
been sent to the province as a silk
buyer for a Boston house. There
