MOIST AND Day AIR

II is generally recognized that per.
sons with corns or sufferers from
chronic rheumatism can prophesy the
approach of rain, but it is not gem
orally known that there is very good
scientific reason to account for this.
When the atmosphere becomes
charged with water q definite effect is
made on all surface swellings, or
scars, which become painful and ten
der Precipitation is arrested. and the
lungs discharge less moisture, thus
throwing additional work on the kid
.neys. People who suffer from kidney
disease are consequently very sensi-
tive to changes In the moisture of the
air. On the contrary--or, perhaps one
should say, complementary-the dry
east wind causes an increased eyapo-
ration Of moisture from the skin,
using up in this way a large amount
of animal heat. And those persons
who are unusually sensitive to cas-
winds viii thus understand why II is
that no amount OF extra clothing pro-
'tects them satisfactorily from the
miserable feeling of physical depres-
sion brought about by the dryness as
much as the actual GOODNESS Of the
air e. - y. !.a--= - E

FORBES APPEARANCE AT
WASHINGTON Is SORT OF
l-T0LD- Y0U-S0 SURPRISE

Surprise was expressed in capital
circles today at the telegraphic news
that Superintendent of Public Works
Forbes Is in Washington.
Governor Pinkham, however, was
not among those who showed surprise,
though he said plainly that Forbes is
not In Washington at his request nor
on any business for him.
Mr.. Forbes has never visited Wash
ington, on business for me, though he
has taken on data and information for
my use in washington" he said.
When Forbes left there were hints,
some Of which the newspapers pub
llshed, that he was likely to turn up
In Washington, and 1t was known that
he had considered a visit there, though
his trip, he emphasized, was purely
for his health. ~
Wilbur C. Woodward, acting super
intendent of public works, said today
that he had had no Information that
Forbes would go to washington. The
same statement was made by A. J.
'Gignoux, utilities commissioner. A
special wireless received last night
stated that the superintendent is now
in Washington. ..

low. He told q class In the East

Professor Cutler referred to the
average weIl-to-do woman" as one
who Is inclined to become fixture
of the ornamental variety. and he In
sisted that housewives should be
capable of earning money as well as
proficient at spending It.
He pointed out that women now
have q new status, that Of wage earn

declared. from the fact that Amer

modern social conditions and expect
women to live according TO standards
which have vanished.
The traditional type of home In

TEMPERATURE STAYS LOW
DURING WHOLE OF NIGHT

While last night was not the coolest
of the past IL months, the fact that
the thermometer stayed low all night
was probably the reason so many peo-
pie snivered under their blankets and
wondered il there would be frost on
the lawns this morning. The mercury
registered minimum of s. degrees.
This minimum lasted for the greater
part Of the night, according to
weather observing officials. At s

registered SO degrees, then sank lower
and stayed around s. for most Of
the remaining hours. 1t came back to-
SO again by o'clock this morning.

THE soLplER,s HEART:
IMPORTANT Discoveries

In connection with national health
insurance the British medical re.
search committee has just issued its
second anpual report.
One OF the subjects to which promi.
hence Is given in the report Is the

Is stated that the scheme arranged BY
the committee at the University Col,
lege Hospital for the investigation of
cardiac disorders Of military import
ance has been continued. A military
hospital had been set apart for the
reception OF cardiac cases, and the
medical staff had been engaged in
daily work Of observation and study.
Soon after the hospital was opened
the medical officers decided to intro
duce q system Of exercises for the
patients. graded In severity, and In
their last stages including route
marches. The primary object Of these
graduated exercises was the testing
of the capacity Of the soldiers for
have important curative value.
In addition to the immediate mill
tary importance Of the work. many re-
suits Of the intensive study made pos
sible by the concentration Of many
cases under the most expert observers
had given good opportunities for con-
siderable gain In knowledge. The
therapeutic effort Of rest had been
tested and found definitely projudicial
to Improvement or recovery. while the
action Of digitalis had also been fully
investigated. II was proved that this
drug has no effect on controlling the
heart rate or other symptoms I'M cases
OF irritable heart, and Is valueIess as
3 remedy I'm this condition
The report proceeds: The present
wide use Of this drug in the army
medical service Is accordingly TO be
deprecated. II Is useful only In the
cases Of soldiers suffering from other
forms OF heart disorder, on account Of
which they sholld not be retained In
the service.
Among other pathological studies
which are In progress or are com.
pleted may be mentioned those upon
the influence or tobacco on the cir
