merit cannot live, because persons
who are duped into buying it once will
not buy it again, and the profit from
advertising a medicine can only come
from repeat sales to the same, salts
fed people. Therefore, any medicine
which has been on the market for a
number of years, and is still adver-
tised, must have merit behind IL to &C
count for its success.
In conclusion Mr.. Balliett declared
that no newspaper is doing justice to
it's readers in the matter of medical
or other advertising, unless it investi-
gates, not only the wording of the adj
vertisement offered for publication,
but the merits of the article adver-
tised. He pointed out that the few
newspapers who have been deluded
into the policy Of barring out medical
advertising have adopted this general
policy, rather than to form an inves-
tigation bureau of this kind which
could, in a constructive and useful ef-
fort, investigate and decide what is
a good product and what is a fraud,
in not only the medicine business, but
in every other business which adver-
tises it's wares to the public.
The audience seemed to agree with
Mr.. Balliett's ideas on the subject and
the chairman decided the question at
issue in his favor.

TRAINING RULES FOR YOUTHS
Old Fashioned Movements SuppIanted
by Program of HYGIENE and
Corrective Exercises.

Notable among the achievements OF
the board Of education of New York
city has been the introduction of the
new course of study in physical train
ing for boys. This supplants the old
fashioned One-two-tbree movements
with consistent program of educa-
tional hygienic and corrective exer-
cises. New boylike athletic move
ments are brought into the gymna-
Sums and the boys engage in course
of moderate athletic training, inciud-
ing hygiene, which is the basis of all
athletics. Thus natural enthusiasts
are utilized for constructive school
purposes.
The 10000 boys who assembled last
June in Central Park to exhibit physi-
cal training work were given the fol-
lowing set of training rules:
Go to bed at nine o'clock after a
thorough wash and cold splash over
chest and trunk; teeth and gums well
scrubbed. Clothes and books ready
for tomorrow.
Bedroom windows open top and bot
tom.
Rise not a minute later than seven
o'clock. Go through two-minute drill
and hygienic exercises for demonstra-
ton. Clean face and neck and scrub
hands. Finish up with big cold
splash and hard rub all over. See
that feet and legs are clean and rub
them hard To get them into cOndi-
ton. Brush teeth and gums thor
oughly.
Breakfast and all meals:
No coffee. No tea. Drink milk,
little at time. Chew all foods to
pulp. Ask your teacher what foods
to avoid.
No smoking. Cut out all habits you
know are bad
Exercise in the fresh air, equivalent
to a slow mile run day. Walk ten
miles a week. If you lose weight you
lose vitality; stop work.
Before school look yourself over.
Am l clean from head to toe? Are
all my clothes clean and in order down
to the skin? Do stand like an ath-
lete?"
The boy has no use for hygiene, but
he has for athletics, and the school
interested in hygiene makes use OF
this fact to gain its end.

A very stout old lady, going through

London a Junk-shop City.

l suspect that the great charm Oh
London for us Americans is that it
has not been improved yet, and is still
considerably secondhand city. The
fine junk-shop atmosphere of it was a
poultice to my spirit. New York,
what one sees of it, is SO new. Our
whole blessed country is so new-so
much newer than it was when l first
began to notice it. 1t seems as If
four-fifths of it, as knew it so, 40,
80 years ago, had either been scraped
bodily and carted off, or else altered,
rebuilt, planted out, built out, or aban-
doned. Who can have associations
with anything in land so terribly ex-
posed to improvement as ours is?
What is there left of what we had
when we were young except the BIZ
BILE, the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution, and improvers
have revised the first and f1outed the
next and daily denounce the last as
the chief obstacle to progress. e.
