She was perfect from the standpoint of sexual morality; being thin, home ly woman and rather elderly, she had no temptation to resist, and devoted her time to those eXquisitely mean practices a chaste woman may in dulge in without harm to her charac ter. She was a noted church worker, and thoroughly mean in every depart ment of it. She hadn't a real friend in the world, but was very aggressive and active, and as mean as slave driver in carrying out her impudent orders. And because she was sexual ly pure she expected as much credit as Theodore Roosevelt expects be- cause he has never stolen anything. -Howe's Magazine.

ocprrTIVE MEDICAL STUD rNTs rN AND LOW-GRADE MEDICAL D COLLEGES.

c.,+stics recently published by The
 al of the American Medical As 'o,iatiOn 'oI show that in from ten to s;..r.tbree states the diplomas issued '' nr .sirtv.6ve medical schools are not "'',arnized. and that in these states ss .s.'' graduates of these thirty-hve '.hooIs sh are not admitted to the exam ...t;ons M for licenses to practice medi- .;no It is highly important, partlcu- I,rv in the interests of prospective m.d;cal students, that this informa- ;.s m .honld receive wide publicity. Be- t.ro selecting a medical school, the ,trdont should know whether or not .bo training furnished and the diplo- ma piven by that school will qualify him for examination and for license ia nractice medicine in any state he may choose. Such information, that i, the fact that recognition has been withdrawn or withheld from certain medical colleges, has not always been given publicity by state boards and of course, is not published in the an roupcements of the colleges affected, Many students, doubtless, have not beer aware of the facts until long after they have matriculated, or even, perhaps, until they have applied for a license to practice. Hundreds of stu dents, in fact, have enrolled in low grade medical colleges, have spent large sums of money. and have de- voted four years to study, or have graduated before they have learned not only that they have not received training in modern medicine, but also that they have received diplomas which are worthless in a large number of states. This is positively wrong and places an irreparable handicap on these students. The important in- formation regarding the non-recogni- ton of Ow-grade medical colleges by state boards should be in the hands Of every prospective medical student before he chooses his college, so that he may avoid bad start on his life's work. The intelligent student, if he IS fully informed, would certainly not waste his time and money in a low grade, unrecognized institution. when m the same time and with perhaps even less money he could obtain a !'snlng in thoroughly well-con- aaeted medical school. There is cer- ahly no dearth of well-conducted. thoroughly equipped medical colleges III which the student can get a train mg mat will enable him to render ex- ,'i'enI service to the people who will uFpend on him for medical attention or hygienic instruction.

A THOUGH Isadora Duncan Is

She should never think for n sec

school of dancing so highly appre-

nothing porc than appear with her
pupils Just as she did in the past her
