Some Popular Gid Wives Tales.

toms Of typhoid." That j. to say. we were
in doubt for several days. 20 we didn't ex-
actly pronounce" q diagnosis; we shook
our head and spoke Of the symptoms of
typhoid" That left an opening for a flop
in the event that our suspicion should
prove wrong.
Well, it luckily happened that We had 10
flop. The symptoms cleared up-it wasn't
typhoid. but a simple colon bacillus tox-
emia. However, without our consent, The
patients head was shorn. NhyG Because
some old woman persuaded l.. family that
shaving the girls head would save her
strength and prevent the loss Of her beau
.tiful hair. Stuff and nonsense. A crime,
We called It. Even had the illness proved
Ia be- typhoid fever. cutting the hair could
not possibly affect the patients vitality
nor the chance of the hair falling out.

LET SECRETARY LANSING PROVE
HIMSELF.

Those who are inclined 10 criticize
the presidents appointment of Mr..
Lansing ms secretary of state. may feel
that they are justified by the fact that
Mr.. Lansing has never been IN any
sence a political power, should pos
scss their souls ia patience and await
the result of whatever politics the
new secretary may introduce or deye-
lop in the treatment of the vastly I'M
portant matters which are entrusted
10 him. III Mr.. Lansing prove "A failure.
then let the critics have their inning.
They will have s0me grounds upon
which to base their complaints. AS to
Mr.. L~ansing's fitness for the position
of secretary Of state. no doubt those
who have watched the course of Pre-
Sidcnt Wilson closely. are willing to
leave TO him the selection of his own
secretary Of state. regardless Of the
dictates of politics. In the present
crucial moment Of United States his
tory. not politics but eXpediency
should rule in such matters. President
Wilson is not likely Ia entrust the
portfolio of state. or of amy of his
cabinet offices. for that matter. To any
man upon whose disdom and integrity
he could not place the fullest reliance.

The striking thing about this discussion is the
frank admission that the saloon is an undesirable ee
ment in Our civilization, and must either be reformed
or got rid of altogether. Mr. Gilmore would wipe it
out completely; Mr. Frankel would put it under
strcter regulation. Both admit something ought to
be done to cure the evils connected with it.
The American people rapidly coming to the
conclusion that the remedy for the evils attendant
upon the saloon is regulation substitution, but
Prohibition. Everything else has proved failure.
