WORDS OF WISE MEN
The high impulse should be
followed at any risk.

The high impulse should be
followed at any risk.
Unless a man undertakes to
do more than he possibly can do
he will never do all that he can
do.
The hardest thing In the world
is self-control, and the saving of
money means the exercising of
self-control in all directions at
once. That is what makes saw
ing so hard.
No book Is worth anything
which is not worth much; nor
is it serviceable until it has
been read, and reread, and
loved again, and marked, so
that you can refer to the pas
sages you want in 1t as a sol
der can seize his needs in an
armory or n housewife bring the
spice she needs from her store.

Mountains and Medicine
Italy'S War on Disease.
BY WOODS HUTCHINSON, NJ. d.

in trenches drilled and blasted in
the solid rock and their guns in
rock-caverns mined out for the pur-
pose.
OF course, as students Of modern
history will remember, all this was
carefully arranged in advance OYER
so years ago. The boundary line
between northern Italy and Austria
was most skilfully and ingeniously
drawn, not by Austria-she was not
clever enough-but by the wizard
hand of old Won Moltke, himself
when Prussia handed over Venice
and the Venetian plain to Italy in
order to weaken Austria, whom she
had just defeated with Italy's help.
Not only were all the natural forti-
fications of the border, the noun
tains left in Austr!a's hands, with
the Trentino province running down
like a great wedge into the very
center of the north Italian plain
midway between Milan and Venice,
so as to easily split the country in
two, but q lesser wedge of Austrian
territory was left projecting into
every important valley leading down
into Italian territory, from Lake
Garda to the Isonzo.
All the gateways into Italy we're
open at the top and held by Austria,
so that when Prussia made friends
with Austria, as she quickly did,
they would be able to take back
again with ease, whenever they de-
sired, that which they had tenn
porarily given. Italy in this war is
fighting not merely TO redeem those
of her own blood and aspirations
from an alien yoke but to secure
the mountain range back to the
first great watershed, so that Aus
tria will have to come uphill in
stead of down to attack her, and
to close a great and dangerous gap
in her natural fortificatiOns and
boundary, the Alps.
This mountain war. however. in
spite Of its enormous difficulties, has
few compensating advantages
from the medical and sanitary point
of view. The mountains sweep in a
curve. almost a semi-circle. around
the broad Friulian plain, and the
plain sweeps up flat and level and
almost unbrOken from the sea to
the very feet OF the mountains Sc

hospitals and supply depots and rest
camps on the plain within easy
reach OF the railroads and yet near
enough to the mountains to easily

of the women visitors to this exhi-

tent looks and Thoughtful pauses

half-ashamed look of members of
their sex who have been dragged
into a modiste's shop. Most of them
escape as soon as they can; some
step just inside for moment
glance around in a startled way,
and hurry of as If they had been
on the verge Of a great impropriety.
A few stay and look at the faces
and figures, ignoring the gowns
which are the sole object of the
