While they were in the station wait

 Insane people, if they can get the nec- essary money, are very apt to travel. There are several reasons for this If they suffer from delusons of persecution they are constantly moving from place to place to escape their imaginary perse- cutors Then, too, as soon as their mental peculiarities are appreciated, they are generally stunned and avoided by their friends; hence they often go to new country to avoid this social ostracism. or because they cannot longer obtain em- ployment at home Sometimes relatives will furnish a troublesome individual with money to emigrate in order to escape the annoyance of his presence.
 Such aliens are frequently able to con- ceal their true conditions sufficiently to obtain admission to this country, but oc- casionally they are detected by the steam. ship surgeon while en route or are diag- nosel by the medical officers when in- spected. Hence the hosiptal receives a number of insane yearly and must care for them until they are dcported.
 The crowded condition of the steerage especially favors the spread of any com municable disease which happens to break out in this part of the ship. Furthermore, vessels often arrive with large number of children already sick and helpless from measles. Several years ago, 2s4 cases of measles were taken from the steeragc compartment of one vessel
 Som communicable ailments like tuber- culoslr, syphilis, trachoma. favus, and so on, requires laboratory tests and other methods of examination which may ex- tend over several days. Aliens suspected of having these diseases are sent to the hosiptal not only to aid the examination but also to assure that the necessary pre- cautions are taken to protect the health of those coming in contact with them while they are detained.
 These cases are the most difficult to handle. Not realizing that they are sick they cannot understand by what stroke of scurvy fortune they have been selected from among all the others and forbidden

A Hospital For All Nations

nosis is the attempt to feed all these diff f"rent races from one general kitchen. While patients are really i'll and in bed, a few o. the smplier articles of diet such as milk, eggs, chicken, toast, etc., will suffice; but when they remain in the hospital for longer period or are re- covering from protracted illness, it is oftentimes almost impossible to furnish food which will appeal to their foreign paiates and poor appetites at the same time.
 In desperate cases, it has sometimes been necessary to throw ordinary dietetic teachings to the winds and allow articles of food which at first blush would appear to be surely harmful. A little Arab girl who had an operation for an attack of appendicitis refused absolutely all food until she was almost dead from exhaus- ton and storvation, but she ate greedily a most villainous looking form of native sausage and cream cheese which her mother brought to the hospital. and on that most unpromsing diet she made a splendid and uninterrupted recovery!
 Religion and Diet
 Not only custom. but also religion. en- ters Into the problem of diet. The ortho- dox Jew asks for kosher food: the Hindoo loses caste if the hands of any stranger touches what he is to eat. Fortunately most of these creeds permit the deyotee to ignore diet restrictions when sick: but the problem Is constantly coming up, and has to be met in one way or another

"1t is an Exquisite Joy 10 Look in M, Mirror Now-Stuart's Calcium Waters Gave Me Back My
 Clear COmplextiOn."

Stuart's Calcium Waters act directly upon the sweat glands of the slkin since their mission is to stimulate the excre- tory ducts. They do not create perspira- ton. but cause the skin to breathe out vigorously, thus transforming perspira- ton into a gaseous vapor. The calcium sllphide of which these wafers are com posed consumes the germ poisons in the sweat glands and pores, hence the blood makes a new. smooth skin in a surpris- ingly short time.
 You will never be ashamed to look at yourself in a mirror once you use Stuart's Calcium Waters. Nor will your friends give you that limiting look as much ss to say-for goodness sake, get rid of those pimples.
 There is no longer any excuse for any one to lave face disfigured with skin eruptions, Wnen it is so easy to get rid of them. Simply get box of Stuart S Calcium Waters at any drug store and take them according to directions. After few days you will hardly recognize your self in the mirror The change will de- light you immensely. All bemishes will disappear
 All druggists sell Stuart's Calcium Waters at 50 cents a box. A small sam pie package mailed free by addressing r. A. stuart Co, 175 Stuart Bldg, Mar shall, Mich.
