CHINESE MUST Be TAUGHT Med
ICAL SCIENCE-NOT RELY ON SELVES

ment of women by men, women doc
tors will have a valuable place In
medical work in China.
While the class of Chinese who pre-
fer the old-style Chinese doctors Is
still in the majority, the foreign doc
tors have more than what they can do.
Chinese medicine is poor thing
The Chinese have had for centuries
remedies for certain well-known dis
ases, remedies which are often very
effective. But thy hav nevr, apparnt-
ly, studied anatomy and know little
or nothing of the reasons for actions
and counteractions. Much if not most
of their is quackery. They have very
little knowledge of surgery. AS a rule
the Chinese doctor canont set bone.
Men whose broken limbs could be
stuck together by an ordinary man in
Europe or America become permanent
cripp!es in China. Such are to be seen
even on the streets of Canton
Shanghai and Pekin, where the ser
vices of the foreign doctors are al
ways available. They are men who
have gone to their own instead of for
eign doctors, and probably have re-
ceived plasters, or even medicine to
take internally, for their broken bones.
Some of the tales that go through
the country about the missionary doc
tors are to these people like stories of
the Bible A man learns of a surpris-
ing cure, which seems to him miracu-
lous.. A friend has been shot by brig
ands or by marauding troops of the
government and is paralyzed down one
side as a result The foreign doctor
| opens his head, takes out little piece
| of metal, and the man begins at once
to walk and talk. Or it might be in
the case of a woman who was blind
| from Il cataract and has been given
| sight.
1t used to be the case that malicious
tales were spread of the mission hos
| pitfalls. The Chinese could not under
stand the reason for good work be-
| ing given freely by white men and
women who came thousands of miles
across the seas; and suspicious and
dislike of foreigners gave rise to
! stories that they murdered children
foully to make medical connections of
their eyes This and similar tales were
| current up to the time of the Boer ris
ing, but they are now seldom heard.

IRISH NATIONALISTS
ESTIMATES VARY MUCH

Dublin. July 4.-Estimates of the
unteers vary between $4,000, which is
the Dublin Castle figure compiled by
the police, and a quarter of a million,
which is the estimate given in plat
form speeches. Careful inquiry shows
that there are 80. 600 in LEICESTER,
which takes the lead, about As, 900 in
Ulster increasing rapidly, 5000 in
Munster and $4,000 in Connaught.
The difficulty of exact estimate
arises from the fact that the move
ment is not organized from the centre.
Forces have sprung up spontaneously
in every parish, and so far are only
loosely connected with the provisional
central body. There has been a
complete wiping out of all class dis
tinctions. and the rank and file in
clude every grade--farmers, laborers,
shop assistants, clerks, doctors. law
yers, and country gentlemen. There is
a very strong leaven of time expired
soldiers-old Connaught Rangers,
Dublin Fusiliers and Munster Fusi-
liers. and their experience is proving
useful in the drill.
The chief military commanders are
Colonel Maurice Moore, who com
manded the Connaught Rangers in the
Boer War, and Captain White, a son
of the General White, who defended
Ladysmith. Recent accessions are
Sir Henry Grattan Bellew, a grandson
of the great Henry Grattan, who had
experience in the fifth Dragon Guards
and Captain Bellingham. brother OF
the Warehouses of Butte, who is al
present an aide de-camp to the Lord
Lieutenant Military experience. how
ever slight, is at a premium, and a
medical student, with little volun-
teer training, is commanding as SER
geant a squad which includes among
the privates, university professor OF
law.
The army has extremely little equip
ment and almost no money. But the
material is excellent and the enthusi-
asm unbounded. Mr.. Redmond's open
association with the movement will
remove the difficulty of getting money
The men in charge of the movement
are for the most part unknown and
there has been much reluctance to
provide funds till the public knew who
would spend the money and for what.
The central body consists of twenty
five men, of them fifteen are said to be
Home Rulers in sympathy with Mr.
Redmond, but the more active, in
fluential and effective spirits are mem
bers of the Sim Fem party. They
have few supporters in the country
and the great bulk of the volunteers
are supporters of Redmond. Mr.
Redmond offered his cooperation tc
the Central body if he was allowed to
nominate an equal number of men or
| it, pending the election of the volun-
teer branches of a central executive
| Failing acceptance he will recommend
each county to govern itself.
This offer was rejected on hastily
summoned meeting of the executives

London, July with every week
OF suspense in the settlement of the
future government of Ireland the
menace of the military preparations
by the Ulster and the Home Rule
volunteers increases. The present
tendency among the volunteers of the
south is to accept leadership by the
Nationalist party which John Red
mond offered them. Thus led, there
would be clear division of Home
Rulers and anti-Home Rule men into
hostile armed camps. The very
dangers of a bitter civil war which
such prospect presents, furnishes the
best safeguard for peace.
Correspondents of The Associated
Press at Dublin and Belfast have writ
ten of the situation from the National
list and Ulster points of view re-
spectively. The most interesting de-
velopment is the plan, hitherto un-
published, of the Orangemen under
Sir Edward Carson for taking charge
OF affairs by force If a provisional gov
eminent is set up, and the fact that
the commercial men of Belfast have
used their influence in Ulster councils
to postpone radical action until a
/ Home Rule parliament has been es-
tablished in Dublin. The great ques
+ ton which confronts the Nationalist
Volunteers is how far their American
sympathizers are likely to come for
/ ward with funds for their arms and

Pekin, July 5.-The Rockefeller Com
mission which Is here investigating
China's needs in a medical and surgi-
cal way has already found that a
most important point is this: the Chi
nese must be taught to doctor them
selves along modern lines and not
rely, except for the present, upon the
foreign medical men.
The country is so vast and the
need of the medical men so extensive
that all the doctors and surgeons in
America could be utilized in China.
Such great invasion, or even enough
to make any wide impression, is i'm
practicable. The solution must be the
training of the Chinese doctors. AT
present there are only a few score
of them trained along modern lines
and these have difficulty in making
a living. The Chinaman is suspicious
of the secondhand training of the
modernized Chinese doctor, and if he
is moved to resort to foreign treat
ment he prefers to go direct to the
foreign doctor.
The commission, which is represent
ed here by DR.. Harry Pratt Judson
president Of Chicago University, and
DR.. Francis w. Peabody of Boston
has not gone far enough to commit
itself to any definite plan. but its re-
port undoubtedly will be largely con-
cerned with the problem of making
the foreign-trained native doctor re-
speeted in China.
The United States department OF
state has temporarily detached Roger
s. Greene from his consular post al
Hankow to aid the commission as ar
interpreter and guide IN its tour OF
investigation, and the Chinese gov.
eminent, both central and local, ha:
furthered rather than impeded the
work of the commission.
In the medical schools, the commits
sion has found various men at worl
trying to coin medical characters anC
combinations of characters or expires
sions in Chinese.
1t was only three years ago that thu
first class of Chinese educated IL
China took their medical degrees from
the Union College, (where American
and British missionary doctors worl
together) here in Picking. Last" yea
the first class, a small number, o
women doctors were graduated. Be

Skin Peeling Natures
Aid to NeW Complexion

Ordinary mercolized wax Is a natural
beautifier. BY fecking off the devitalized
surface skin, it merely hastens Natures
work. The second skin layer, brought
gradually to view, exhibits the healthy,
youthful color produced by capillary cir
culation. This because the capillaries
are thus brought nearer the surface; al
so because the new skin is unsoiled by
sun, wind or dirt. This wax, to be had
at any drug store ian ounce will do), is
put on nightly like cold cream, washed
off mornings with warm water. It's work
usually is completed in from seven to ten
days, long enough not to show too
marked results from day to day, or cause
discomfort or detention indoors.
A face bath to remove wrinkles, made
by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxo-
lite in a half pint witch hazel, is another
natural beautifier, since it's astringent
and tonic properties smooth out wrinkles

who proposed that each county should
elect a representative to sit with them.
This has produced strong protest from
Professor Kerr who says the meeting
was not properly convened and asks
for a full meeting when the members
would accept Mr.. Redmond's offer. Mr..
Redmond cannot allow a movement
mainly composed of his supporters to
be commanded by a self-qualified body,
of which the most active members are
opponents of his. Once the Volun-
teer members can hold their conven-
ton to check an executive the matter
will settle itself. Meantime there may
be friction which will be obviated to a
great extent by making each county
govern it's own volunteers.

To TAKE PLACE OF
THE HOUSE OF LORDS
British Premier Will This Month
Lay Before the House of
Commons Governments Pro-
posals for Constitution for a
New Second Chamber

London, July 5.-During the month
OF July the prime minister will lay be-
fore the House of Commons the pro-
pesais or the government for a censti-
tuition or new second chamber to
take the place of the House of Lords.
1t is not expected that any attempt
will be made this year to translate
these proposals into law, but they are
being made in accordance with a prom
Use in the Kings speech at the OPEN
ing of Parliament that they would be
submitted for consideration during
the present session.
While the scheme is not vet com
plete ii is known that the hereditary
principle, which even many Unionists
oppose will be largely or entirely elm
mated, and that the other churches of
the Kingdom will be given similar
representation to that now enjoyed by
the Established Church of England.
WHAT the Liberal Party, except those
opposed to any second chamber at all,
aims at is TO secure-that the new sec
ond chamber shall, to a large extent,
be in union with the House of Com
mons. In order to obtain this il is
probable that every freshly elected
House of Commons will have the right
to nominate a certain proportion, per-
haps one-third of the second chamber
Thurs If House of Commons is Lib
eral, so will be the other branch of
the Legislature, and, if on the other
hand. it should be Conservative. it
will be able to constitute the Second
Chamber in harmony with its own
views.
AS the House of Commons is becom-
ing more and more a house of groups
it would follow that the various
groups would have representatives in
the Second chamber, and England NAV
yet live to see Laborites, Socialists and
even Irish Nationalist seated on the
benches now sacred to peers of the
realm.
If this plan were adopted 1t would
be question whether it would be ne
cessary to continue those provisions of
the Parliament Act, which prohibit the
Upper House from vetoing House of
Commons bills more than twice.
However, this is one of the tremen-
dous tasks which the Liberal party
has undertaken and to carry which it
must overcome not only the opposition
of the Unionist party, the Church, the
present peers, but that great body Of
English conversation which will brook
no change in established things and
customs.
