ANOTHER GREAT MEDICAL
DISCOVERY.

Fargo. y. D., COurier-News)
tt was announced at the meeting
of the Missouri Valley Medical as
ISOLATION by DR.. Charles A. Reed Of
Cincinnati that the cause of epilepsy
has been discovered. Ii is a germ
which. like the germ causing tetanus
Oockjaw), probably has its natural
habitat i'm the soil and enters the
body through the stomach and in
testines. where it continues TO live.
The clogging OF the alimentary
canal forces these bacteria through
into the blood. where they are self
perpetuating and cause the dread
malady for which no cure has vet
been found. Or. Reed has identified
the cultures from the human body
with those from animals and has
demonstrated that epilepsy is often
communicated from one persons To
another
No remedy has yet been discover
ed. but this isolation and identified
ton of the germ points to cure and
also 10 prevention. Diphtheria has
become durable and smallpox tanned
by serums; even cancer seems in a
fair way 10 be mastered, and this
latest will prove welcome news TO
thousands Of sufferers from one Of
the most distressing Affections.

DIR. finley URGES WALKING.


DR.. John II. Finley is one of the
most enthusiastic advocates we have
Of the value of walking as a form OF
exercise. The latest number of the
university's bulletin is filed with
praise of pedestrianism. He becomes
poetical as we'll as eloquent when
he says. so as the days Of the
open road come on. as nature begins
again her laboratory coures in field
and stream and mountain, may every
boy find, on foot, the blessings of the
out OF doors, the strength that comes
of battle with the natural forces that
oppose. and the JOY of overcoming. "
1T is rather curious that in spite Of
such bracing talk, Dr. Finley is OPP
posed TO military training for boys
in high schools A boy cannot be
developed into good soldier who is
not a good walker. and the physical
training TO which soldiers are sub
jected is directed very largely TO
teaching them 10 walk swiftly. erect
~ and with a minimum OF fatigue.
The trouble with many boys is that
they do not know how TO walk. A
little instruction along military lines
would make it infinitely easier for
them to follow DR.. Finley's advice
and study the unfolding of spring
at first hand.

PoPULARIzING THE CLASSICS

bismarck. Y. d. Tribune
Latin and Greek literature have
too long been surrounded with the
barbed-wire fences OF a stupid ped
antry which says the only way in
which 10 enter their field Is by go
ing around by the long road OF
learning the languages in which they
were written. Moreover. the pedants
require not thai the languages be
studied sensibly with the object OF
rapid reading and enjoyment, but
insanely. with the apparent object
Of sitting every possible flash Of
human interest By interminable pars-
ing, constituting and teXtusl criticism.
IL Is absurd that the treasures of
Latin and Greek should be locked
away from the average reader by
these superstitions Of an outworn
academic tradition. Practically all
of them are now available in excel
lent translations. needing only a lit
tie attractive bookmaking TO render
them popular.
What might be done in this direc-
ton is suggested by Marcus South
well Dimsdale. in his History OF
Latin Literature. The writer gives
a ray of hope 10 those who would
like 10 see the classics treated as
human productions. to be read and
judged by human standards, just as
We judge Alfred Moves or Rudyard
Kipling or Ernest Poole. The his
tory is written, not for the student.
but for the general reader
This means a break in the tradi-
ton The general reader is no
longer treated as a hopeless low

necessarily sealed books And when
the reader really gets acquainted
with classic authors. as he will
through good translations in his
town library if properly encouraged.

find Homer or Idvy as entertaining

WORSE THAN BEFORE

held full sway two and four years
ago. With the republican party so
constituted the Indianapolis News
stated: 1T would be a mistake To
think that the republican party can
ever hope for success on the old
standpat lines. AS between such a
party and the present democratic
party all men Of progressive prin-
ciples would undoubtedly choose the
democrats. The republican party in
Indiana is worse today than ever
before. IL such a state OF affairs is
possible. Today We nave the old
crowd. Watson. New. Goodrich. not
only bosses within the party, but
candidates for office" AS the News
so aptly puts IL. how can the re-
publican party hope for success on
the old standpat lines.
