preston on the visiting physician is the precaution
which is taken to eliminate club politics from the
organization. The presidents of the club are chosen
not by casting ballots but by drawing lots AT the
time of the annual election papers containing the
names of all members who have not already served
president are placed in box and the selection
of the officer is determined by chance in the draw
ing of name.
Club politics prominent in practically all
clubs, no matter for what purpose conducted. The
election of officers is always a surprisingly impor
tant event and other considerations almost invari
ably give way while the contest is on. Even though
a club election may have no harmful features in
itself, such as arousing bitter antagonisn and
creating permanent factions, the election always
detracts attention from an organization regular
activities and may seriously impair its usefulness
at times.
That club of professional men can throb with
life from other causes than contests for election of
officers has been demonstrated conclusivey by the
Medical Club of Harrisburg. AT the meetings
every member present is required to enter into dis
cussion of prescribed topics, and every member,
unless giving suitable excuse is required to be
present The meetings are made of such great
interest by the scientific subject matter of the dis
cussions and by the active participation of all mem
bers that such minor detail of the clubs activities
as the choice of officers is lost in insgnifcance
When doctors get together for the avowed pur-
pose of increasing their knowledge of the science
of medicine and allied subjects, they are not only
advancing their own interests but they are accom-
plishing something for the public good. Patients
also profit when physicians increase their skill.

Senator BEN TizgFmam's Rules
For Health and Long Lie.

CENATOR TILLMAN of South Carolina
- enlightened the U. S. Senate, the other
day, by explaining how to keep we'll and live
a long time.
His recipe was printed in the Congressional
Record, and [ see it reprinted in Mr.. Hearst's
Sunday An2eric0n.
One Of the most important of the Senator's
rules is, that when you wake up, in the morn
ing, you must take your right leg by the heel
and kick yourself in the buttocl1 "a times.
After this, you take your left leg by the heel,
and kick your other bullock "a times
In this manner, you stimulate circulation,
create energy, and blow the vital spark. It's
rather rough on the buttocks, but it will keep
them from getting sore when you ride horse
back.
Little did / think that the U. S. Senate
would ever have to be advised to kick its own
posteriors.
But Tillman says it must be done, if the
Magi would preserve life, health and strength
Fancy the highest w-making body on
earth, lying abed, kicking it's own rump, with
its own heels
Tillman says he does it regularly, and that
he is renewing his youth by it. But Benja-
min is from South Carolina, and it may be
that South Carolina is the only State whose
proud sons can maintain health and strength
by this novel process.
Still, you might try it.

tic drudgery. The several servants attend to
all that.
The Bishop argues in favor of her happy
condition, because it enables her to devote all
her time to missionary work.
With fine Christian scorn the Bishop asks:
"DoeS the church send qOoneeqo, either mar
ried or unmarried, to the NON Christian aoorzd
to spend their time peezing potatoes, aoash-
ing dishes, and busting houses?"
There's your humble, contrite, self-sacri-
fcing spirit! What! Shall Bishop Warne's
wife peel potato? God forbid
Shall the foreign missionary's ''lady," as the
wash the dishes? Shall this missionary
lady" soil her dainty hands with the handle
of a house broom?
Never! We will shed blood, tears and more
cash before the missionary's lady shall stoop
to peel potatoes. It's quite enough to ask her
to eat such democratic food as potatoes.
Let the riff raft do the pee1lng. Let the
scum of creation wash the dishes. Let the
ag-tag and bob-tail sweep the house.
Gentle Jesus! who ever thought that a mis-
sionary bishop would write such arrogant
snobbery, and that Christian paper would
publish it?
Bishop Warne contemptiously asks
"Shall we dismiss our servants?"
No! Bishop, NO!

At another station (Deogarh) the mission

-
Brother Harris took me sharply to task on
the matter of the missionary salaries He
accused me Of exaggeration. But my state
ments were taken from official Reports of the
Boards. If [ am wrong, those Reports mis-
led me.
For instance, here is the itemized statement
for the mission at Bina, India:
"Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Elsam, salary 81 200
Children's allowance $500 49, 800"
Total salary for the missionary's family,
$500
AS [ remember the official statement of our
Baptist Board, at Richmond, Virginia, the
missionary and his wife are paid $3.50 a
piece For each child born to them 500
year is paid, up to fifteen years. After the
child has reached fifteen, the allowance for
said child is $3.50 year.
Count the average family of children at
the low figure of three, and you can see that
the Board pays the missionary family an
average of 81 800 year.
Brother Harris was quite joyful as he
exposed my error IN comparing these salaries
with those of our cOnsuls. It is always en- joy-
able to catch the other fellow out, in state
nent relating to facts.
Well, maybe was wrong about that detail.
Yet. we might examine it, and see
There is a very cheap and useful little book
published by The Neale Publishing Com
pany Of New York, entitled "The United
States Government" I wish you could spare
dollar and buy it for quick reference, on
questions concerning your Uncle Sam.

the Consular Bureau.

allowance for the fact that the missionary is
paid for - months work, and only aoorhs
nine.
So, after all, the missionary who lays off
three months every year, and who is paid for
increasing his pious little family, is blamed
sight better off than mere one-hoss consul
who gets $4,000 year, with no vacation and
no bounty on child getting.

In the recent Womens Missionary Council.
of the NJ. e. Church, South, held at Fort
Worth, Texas, they allotted $500 to the work
of looking after RESCUED" young women in
this country, and $4,000 for China These
misguided fanatics appropriated 900 to
the utterly worthless Koreans, and $4,000 to
the white people of all the States bordering
on the Gulf Of Mexico
The yellow folks Of China and Korea pull
down 100000, for the missionaries, the
school-teachers, the doctors, &C., that get the
soft snaps in heathendom, while the hard
working preachers of Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, and Texas, get the
crumbs.
Texas, alone is big enough to hide Korea
where you couldn't find it in months search,
yet the Home Mission work of this imperial
State draws a pltiful mite compared to the
sum sent to the imbecile Koreans.
(Or rather, to the sleek missionaries who
luxuriate among the childish Koreans.)

Brother Harris could not believe that the
foreign missionaries lived in grand style, and
kept houseful of servants lie Judged the
missionary By the shabby clothes he qcears,
echen he comes to this country to beg for
more ducata.
Some ofice-seekers play that little game,
when they go out after Old Man Peepul's
vote.
If even you see one Of our Army or Navy
officers who has been entertained by mis-
sionary in China, Japan, Korea, or India, ask
him to tell you, IN confidence, how those holy
nabobs live. | have heard from these officers,
and know whereof [ speak.
But you are not asked to take my unsup-
ported word for anything: every statement
made by me can be substantiated by mis-
sionary reports, letters, magazines, papers and
books.
For instance here comes Bishop Frank w.
Warne, of the M. E. Church. of Southern
Asia writing to The Christian Herald of New
York, April Is, 1914.
The Bishop defends the foreign mission
aries from the candid statements of the emf
nent Hindoo DR.. Keshava Shastri, Of
Benares, India. You will remember what a
sensation Dr. Shastri created some months
ago, by saying that the missionaries were not
converting any Hindoos and were Giving
like lords"
Bishop Warne virtually admits that the
missionaries do live like lords, and keep
houseful of servants. lie says that the custom
Of the country demands It,
He says that the missionary keeps several
domestic servants, "6ut they do not cost 0ny
more than one servant at hOnoe."
Now, let me put it to your common sense:

is so cheap that the missionary can employ

One of the most interesting trips
from a sociological point OF view Is a
visit TO the state penitentiary at San

itself is ideal, because of the variety
in travel il affords. From the Ferry

II is necessary to ferry across San

bungalows built among the pine trees
on the hillsides and the terrace lawns
dotted with flower beds would recall
Immediately like scenes In Switzer-
land that are world renowned. From

of the surrounding country. The ride
from Sausalito to Green Brae over the
