There are at the present mo-

erly family at the -- hospital.
Aunt Mary, Mary and Mother Wav-
erly.
Yesterday poor Jack was laid away
in the family lot next his father. with
Dick, Noble and | as mourners. Moth
ier .Waverly was not able to be pres

the time when she and Jack we're so
happy together. Mary has developed
brain fever-her wound is not serious

Waverly is also in a precarious con
fdition. Aunt Mary. however, is hav.
Ing a respite from her old pain and
is already thinking of how she IS 60
ing to comfort US all when she gets
out Of bed.
Doctor Atwater tells me that she
will probably never leave the hospit-
al, as the cancer has made terrible
strides since her operation.
II Aunt Mary knows her case Is
hopeless she has never made the
slightest reference to 1t. but | notice
she never says a word about coming
back to me.
Eleanor Fairlow has been a won
dertully efficient factor in taking
care OF Mother Waverly. Although
she has not finished her training yet
she spends much oG her time with
Mother Wayerly. The head nurse has
detailed her on the case.
II Mother always liked Eleanor, ano
she Is ouieter with her than any Of us.
The headlines in the newspapers
were simply dreadful and the ghoul-

life was paraded for the world at
large was sickening. or course. Pat
Sullivan kept as much as he could

who gave the photographs 10 the re-
porter. Fortunately perhaps. he
could not find out who 1t was.
Mollie took all the newspaper stor-

What to Eat and
PreVent Indigestion

Indigestion and practically all forms Of
stomach trouble are nine times out Of
ten. due to acidity: therefore stomach
sufferers should, whenever possible.
avoid eating food that is acid In it's
nature. or which by chemical action
in the stomach develops acidity. Those
sufferers who have been obliged to ex-
clude from their diet all starchy. sweet
or fatty food and are trying to keep up
miserable existence on gluten prod-
ucts. should try a meal OF any food or
foods in moderate amount. taking TN
mediatelv afterwards . teaspoonful OF
bisurated magnesia In q little hot or
cold water. This will neutralse any acid
which may be present. or which may be
formed. and instead of the usual feeling
Of uneasiness and fullness. you will find
that your food agrees with you perfect
ly. Bisurated magnesia Is doubtless tho
best corrective and antacid known. 1t
has direct action on tho stomach; but
by neutralizing the acidity OF the food
contents, and thus removing the souroe
of the acid irritation which inflanes tho
delicate stomach lining. It does more
than could be possibly done BY any
drug or medicine. Do not dose an in
famed and irritated stomach with
drugs. but get rid of the acid-the cause
Of all the trouble. Get a little bisurated
! magnesia from your druggist, eat what
you want at your next meal. take somo

grofaiing Ss3.9i5 were collected IN the

Advocating moro modern and hu-
mann method OF proceeding In lunacy
cases. the corporation counsel says:
Often 1t Is most detrimental to the
health OF the patient to have him ap-
pear in court and stand trial in prac-
tically tho same manner as an offender
against tho law.
There Is growing tendency in the
legislation OF many OF our States to
recognize and treat an insane person
for what he Is. namely. an unfortunate
sick person in need OF hospital care
and treatment To this end many
statutes are to be found providing FOR
voluntary commitment. and while this
Is desirable. yet In many instances II
is not sufficient Especially Is this the
case where the patients condition Is
80 far adIanced as TO prevent his re-
alization of his condition. To meet this
situation Is would seem necessary to
do away entirely with a trial by Jury.
and dispense with the presence of tho
patient IN court at the time OF trial.
unless after notice OF the hearing a
demand 10 made for jury. In which
event II should be granted. This would,
I believe. safeguard the liberty OF the
patient and at the same time would
enable the authorities to treat insan-
ity rs disease rather than an Of
