AMERICAN MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION

For years this association has
been dominated by class of old
fogies, who thought it unethical to
advertise, and have done all in their
power to cast reflection upon the
wide-awake doctor, who told the peo-
pie what he could do, through the
columns of the press, but, The Coun-
Gil on Health and Public Instruction
of the American Medical Association
now recommends the Physician to ad-
vertise, and the matter will be brought
before the full association at the next
regular meeting
1t is not hard to guess the reason
for this action, as they are beginning
to realize their financial loss; they see
the advertising mans office crowded
with patients, from far and near, and
think the only reason is because he
advertises, but DR.. Hunt of Toledo,
who has advertised chronic and pelvic
diseases for years, in discussing the
matter says advertising is all right to
get a patent into your office the first
time, but unless you are equipped to
do something for him and show him
some benefits, he will not often make
more than one visit.
Few doctors other than specialists

nothing to offer their patients but the
old time remedies that have been in
use for years and are often worse
than useless; when a patient goes to
a specialist, it is generally because he
has tried the family physician and
medicines until he is tired, and must
have relief; he goes to the specialist
because he knows he can secure a
searching examination and the true
cause of his trouble located, because
the specialist is properly equipped to
examine and treat him, and sees more
cases like his than the general prac-
titioner, and necessarily must know
more about his disease.
DR.. Hunt, of 800 Superior steret
Toledo, has been advertising for years
to treat and cure piles, and other rec
tai troubles, chronic rheumatism, con-
stipation, bladder and kidney trouble
rupture, varicocele, hydrocele and
chronic stomach trouble, and the
American Medical Association is just
finding out he is doing it and are
anxious to get in line.-Adv.

BOY BUILT HIS OWN AUTO.
II Has Made 30 Miles an Hour-can
Garry Three Passengers.

Brice Cowen, Los Angeles boy Is
construction o. real automobile. He
calls it the California Midget.
1t is built upon principles similar
to those of the factory made cars and
I capable, demonstrated by actual
SITS, of skimm!ng over the road at
twenty-five to thirty miles an hour.
1t has also climbed hills of 30 per
cent. grade, according to the Techni-
cal World, and has carried three pas
sengers over ordinary roads.
The car is six feet in length and
weighs about 800 pounds. 1t Is pro-
vided with a horsepower engine, has
n friction transmission and double
chain drive. 1t has three foot tread,
with nine speeds forward and three on
the reverse.
The machine Is air cooled, the bat
terry control is through an electric
light switch and the differential oper-
ates successfully. There are exter-
nal brakes on the rear wheels, and
the machine is otherwise fully equip
ped throughout.
Aside from the engine, the ma
chine was built entirely by the boy
and even the engine had to be re-
built to conform with some of the Pc
culiarities Of the automobiles make
up. His other purchases consisted
only of rods. wire, nails, pine boards,
a few castings and such material, even
the wheels representing his workman
ship. The latter are equipped with
motorcycle tires.

Betterment for Farmers Wives

Boston Transcript: The betterment
movement for farmers wives, which
has been started by the department of
agriculture, is said to be unpopular
with the farmers themselves. In some
of the newer sections may be seen fine
barns but very Indifferent houses as
their companions. The latest machin-
cry must be had and the best labor
saving devices employed, while the
housewife must still go to the pump
for her water supply, to the wood pile
for heating arrangements, and in 9TH
er ways follow the primitive methods
of hundred years ago. The farmer
pleads that he can not afford to equip
his house with modern knicknacks. 1t
would weaken his resources for keep
ing hi soutdoor activities up to the
highest standard. But invention has
been as busy in providing for indoor
comfort as for outside expansion.
When farmers consider their wives to
the same extent as themselves there
will be more young women than at
present willing to accept those posi-
tions.

Between Tonala and the Guatemala
border exists one of the greatest flor
al bowers in the republic. This is
the time of year when all of the morn
Ing glories and many other wild flow-
ers of the tropics are beginning to
bloom, and railroad men who are ia
miliar with all the roads of the re-
public say that the grandest sight of
all is to be seen here. The massive
trees in the forest which line for miles
the railroad are covered to the tops
with vines and blossoms, and the tele-
graph poles and wires present simi-
larly beautiful sight.
Along the line are hundreds of
cornfields, and It seems that each
stalk of corn forms a pole upon which
is growing morning glory vine. This
does not in the least hinder the crop,
for the corn OF the particular season
has been topped ready for harvest.
Near Mepastepec. below here, there
is lane some six kilometers in length
where the tops of the trees on either
side of the track almost meet forming
a most strikingly beautiful floral arch.
These trees are all covered with vines
with the millions of blossoms, and the
sight is one rarely, If ever, seen in
other parts of Mexico.

The Best Water.

A writer in Vim does not think
highly of mineral waters. He says:
"The best water is the water contain
ing the least mineral matter in it.
The nearer you can come to getting
absolutely pure water to drink the
more easy it will be to keep in good
health. The simplest form in which
absolutely pure water is found is in
rain. And rain-water collected from
off a clean surface and stored In {,
clean reservoir Is as good as any
thing one can find. The best subsui,
tute for rainwater is good distilled
water. In fact distilled water may
be somewhat preferable, as it is not
subject to accidental contamination
in the many ways rainwater is. To
argue that absolutely pure water is
not helpful is equal to saying that the
addition of pollution improves it-a
proposition that will not stand the
test of hard common sense"

Mock Candied Cherries

1t is sometimes impossible to pro-
cure candied cherries for festival oc-
casions, but if large cranberries are
carefully prepared as follows you
may have dish OF dainties just as
good as the most expensive of cam
died cherries. Wash and pick over
carefully one quart of fine cranber-
ries. Place in saucepan one cupful

and let this boil for about five min

them stand for about eight hours
Then place berries and sirup on stove
and boil until quite transparent but
not until berries break Drain

Lonqitude by Wireless.

One of the scientific applications of
wireless telegraphy, capable of con-
siderable extension, is the determine
ton of longitudes. To know ones
longitude on the earth it is necessary
to compare the local time with that
OF standard meridian. Signals sent
by wireless apparatus are capable of
furnishing this information where no
ordinary telegraph-lines exist. Recent
ly comparison of the two methods
was made between Potsdam and
Mount Brocken. The results showed
that the wireless method was trust
worthy, although the aerial signals
were more sensitive to atmospheric
influences than those sent by wire.

HANGING VS.. ELEcTRocuTioN.

The English way is the only way to
treat homicides. Hang them quick,
rich or poor, as soon as proved guilty.
A people who have not power to tear
their homiciles out of their society
and instantly destroy them don't
amount to much. The sentiment to-
ward murderers is one appalling fault
of this day and country. Fifty per
cent, of murders are too brutal and
ignorant to understand that death by
electrocution is really death. Hang
ing is just as merciful, though more
feared than electricity.

Wants Canal Tolls Repealed.

In message personally delivered
to congress-. President Wilson asks
the repeal of the canal toll provision
of the Panama canal act. He in
formed congress that all nations re-
garded the exemption of American
vessels from tolls as a violation of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and he fur
ther. asked the support of the admins
tration in its foreign policy. Both
houses are now at work on bills to
conform to the recommendations made
by the president. Mr.. Wilson holds
national honor above party dictation
and thinks the party acted unwisely
in placing in the platform exempting
American vessels from tolls.

Progress Of Cement.

A few years ago America imported
more Portland cement than 1t manu-
factured.' Now the tables have been
turned, and this country has taken
the front rank in the production Of
cement and its use in construction. It
has been estimated that the quantity
of Portland cement used in this coun-
try in 1905 would be sufficient to lay
q sidewalk 16 feet broad all round
the earth at the equator. If conf
pacted into single solid cube, that
cube would measure almost 1000 feet
on each edge.

ONE HEART THAT BEATS AS TEN.

The average rate of the human
heart is about seventy beats per min
ute. According to a recent article In
the Scientific American, r. Buchanan
has succeeded. by the use of an in
genious electrical meter, in counting
the beats of a mouse's heart. They
amount to nearly 700 per minute, and
cannot be recorded by any ordinary
method of pulse-taking. The mouse's
heart thus pumps away at the rate
of over eleven pushes per second. In
comparison to the elephants heart,
at the other extreme, with one beat
in two seconds, it is veritable race
horse.

A VIEW oE KISSING.

try to make it impossible for young
men and women to kiss in the city
park. 1t seems while some men ar,
trying to add to the sum Of hunt
misery, others are trying to subtraC
from the sum of human joy. Kissing
is considered inspiring, ennobling and
pretty darned good in this town.

 ''On account of the war a great many Jews have fled from the Aus trian territory temporarily occupied by the Russians. In spite of the gen erous action of the goyerpment, the means of support at our disposal are inadequate as the charity institutions of our country are over burdened. We appeal to the generosity of Ameri- cans for help and ask assistance for the Austrian Red ~ross.
 We are sure of your sympathy at the present moment all the more as Austria's war is also a fight to ob- tain human rights for our severely oppressed Russian brothers. The money collected should be sent to us through the Austro-Hungarian em- bassy."
 The communication was signed by the "lsraeitiche Alliance, Vienna"

 The deduction official Washington has drawn from these occurrences is that President Wilson looks with en- Thatic disfavor on the circulation O. propaganda by the diplomatic repre- sentatiyes of any of the bellieerents or governments if that propaganda is calculated to play on the patriotism or feelings of the American people fl way that might involve the neu trality of the United States.
