The pulse is accelerated by the d.
gestfon of rich food, by hot wealth
er, exercise, excitement, and alarm.
1t is Slightly more rapid in the eve
ming than 1t is In the morning. Well
bred horses have a slightly more rapid
pulse than sluggish, cold-blooded
horses The pulse should be regular !;
that is, the separate beats should fol-
low each other after intervals of equal
length, and the beats should be of
equal fullness or volume.
Pulse in Disease.
In disease, the pulse may become
slower or more rapid than in health.
Slowing Of the pulse may be caused by
old age, great exhaustion, or excessive
cold. It may be due to depression Of
the central nervous system, as in dunn
miness, or be the result of the ad-
ministration Of drugs, such as digi-
tails or strophantus. A rapid pulse
Is almost always found in fever, and
the more severe the infection and the
weaker the heart the more rapid Is
the pulse. Under these conditions, the
beats may rise to 9O 80. or even 100
per minute. When the pulse is above
100 per minute the outlook for recov-
cry Is not promising, and especially If
this symptom accompanies high tenn
perature or occurs late in an infectious
disease. In nearly all Of the diseases
Of the heart and In anemia the pulse
becomes rapid.
The pulse Is irregular In diseases of
the heart, and especially where the
valves are affected. The irregularity
may consist In varying intervals be-
tween the beats or the dropping Of one
or more beats at regular or irregular
intervals. The latter condition some
times occurs In chronic diseases of the
brain. The pulse is said to be weak,
or soft, when the beats are indistinct,
because little blood Is forced through
the artery by each contraction Of the
heart. This condition occurs when
there is a construction Of the vessels
leading from the heart. and 1t occurs
in certain infectious and febrile dis
eases, and Is an Indication Of heart
weakness.
The heart lies In the anterior por-
SAOA u Tic SASot bA8ALAy " tA0 iCAS VI
the median line and extends from the
third to the sixth rib. It extends al
most to the breastbone, and a little
more than half Of the distance between
the breastbone and the backbone. In
contracting, 1t rotates slightly on its
axis. 30 that the point of the heart,
which lies below, is pressed against the
left chest wall at place Immediately
above the point of the elbow.
II the horse Is not too fat, one may
feel the impact Of the apex of the
heart against the chest wall with each
contraction Of the heart by placing the
hand on the left side back of the fifth
rib and above the point of the elbow.
The thinner and the better bred the
horse is, the more distinctly this i'm
pact is felt. II the animal is ex-
cited, or If he has just been exercis-
ing, the impact Is stronger than when
the horse is at rest. If the horse Is
weak, the impact is reduced in force.
Certain sounds are produced by each
contraction Of the normal heart. It is
customary to divide these into two, and
to call them the first and second
sounds. These two sounds are heard
during each pulsation, and any devia-
tion of the normal indicates some alter.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Viscount
Ishii, special ambassador and head
of Japan's mission to the United
States, presented his credentials to
President Wilson late today and
with them an autograph letter from
his emperor congratulating the
President and the people Of the
United States upon their decision
to enter the war against Germany.
The ambassador told the Presi-
dent it is a source Of pride to very
Japanese that the United States is
fighting with Japan for a safe and
enduring peace bas~o on respect
for the smallest and weakest of
states; on contempt for the arro-
gance Of materialistic force; on rev.
erence for the pledged word"
Tonight Viscount Ishii and the
members Of his mission were the
guests Of the President at a state
dinner in the White House, closing
day of the formal calls of courtesy
preceding the important conferences
at which the business of the visitors
will be discussed.

Allies Victorious On The
Western Front
Triest Stripped By Aushians
Before Italian Advance

The great offensive of the Ital
ians along the Isonzo front daily
continues to gain impetus, and ap-
parently the strong Austrian coun.
ter attacks nowhere have beenable
to stem the tide that is bringing
General Cadorna's men gradually
closer toward their objective.
Meanwhile, the German opera.
tions east of Riga seemingly are de-
veloping in strength, as the Russians
have given further ground to the
enemy. Around Verdun in France
the French army is holding its gains
of the early week unhampered by
the German infantry, but with the
guns of the crown prince raking the
line at various points. .
At Lens the Canadians have work
ed their way further into the envir-
ons of the coal city and in Belgium,
near Ypres. Field Marshal Haig's
men have been victorious in a two
days battle, making gains over their
front varying in depth from half a
mile to few hundred yards, not
withstanding the tenacious resis-
tance of Crown Prince Rupprecht.

GLORY

By Reginald Wright Kaufman
of The Vigilantes
l knew that hamlet well: a single
street
Bordered with cottages, where faces
sweet
Wives at their household tasks, and
Dreaming their younger yesterdays
again
In silent sunshine-smiled at every
one;
Where, with the setting of the gen.
tie sun,
The husbands from the fields came
singing home,
And where their children all day
long would roam
Till evening, when the whispering
poplar-boughs
Echoed the music of young lovers
vows.
A hundred years it had been So
and 80
I knew that hamlet one brief month
ago.
Then l came back: single house
stood there;
The rest were smoke upon the Aug
ust air
And ruins in the obliterated road.
A gray-garbed sentry through the
ashes strobe;
An old mans body, white hair
splashed with red,
Lay in the gutter; toward a black
ened shed,
face aglow and savage lin
acurl,
A death-grimed soldier dragged a
little girl;
A strangled baby lay beside the
stream;
Far in the dusk l heard woman
scream,
And from the inn-porch, dark with
blood and wine,
Roared forth the chorus of the
Wacht Am Rhein.

"Whereas, adequate supplies Of

ducts necessary for the equipment
and maintenance Of our army and

WHY NOT A CASOLINELESS
DAY
By Cleveland Moffett of The
Vigilantes.

BY Cleveland Moffett Of The
Vigilantes.
Why should not men or women
who are fortunate enough to own au
tomobiles deny themselves for one
day in seven the pleasure and SER
vice Of these vehicles and contribute
the gasoline thus saved (the quanti-
ty could be easily averaged) for the
needs Of our armies?
Gasoline is an immensely impor-
tant necessity Of war; the price il
high, the supply is insufficient, and
must become more and more insuf-
ficiently with increasing war de-
mands. Already experts tell ~ we
are using three million barrels Of
crude oil every month in excess Of
our production!
And remember, it is gasoline that
hurries ambulances TO the wounded.
It is gasoline that brings food to the
soldiers, ammunition to the guns.
Without gasoline France would have
lost Verdun. And we Americans Of
this precious stuff every day in joy
riding! Why not cut out joyriding,
vanity-riding, all unnecessary rid
ing for our country's sake?
We could surely do this one day
in seven, and on that seventh day let
our chauffeurs do gardening or
drilling, or other patriotic work.
Suppose a hundred thousand Ameri-
can chauffeurs were loaned to the
government by public-spirited car
owners one day in seven for imme-
diate work in aeroplanes factories?
Think what that might mean in
these days of labor scarcity! 1t
might mean a decisive victory in the
air! It might end the war!

them declares them to be the only

It is therefore a patriotic duty of
everyone in Omaha to see these pic
lures.

RED CROSS SPECIAL
lists WORK T0SAVE
FRENCH BABIES
DEATH RATE MUCH HIGH.
Err THAN BIRTH RATE

A group of specialists in infant
welfare has been sent to France by
the American Red Cross. At its head
is DR.. William P. Lucas, professor
of pediatrics in the University of
California, and originator of the
"Save a Belgian Baby" movement.
Before the war the birthrate and
deathrate in France were so nearly
equal that publicists voiced their
concern over the future Of the ma
tional life. Last year, however, with
the deathrate probably over 20 per
1000, not counting deaths Of men
in military service, the birthrate was
officially estimated at only 8 per
1000. In New York State the birth.
rate is % or "a per 1000, the death
rate about IA per 1000.
The total deaths in France in
1916 were about 100000. Births
numbered only $4,000. The net loss
in population was $4,000, or nearly
two rer cent OF tie whole. In Paris,
where 48,917 babies were bora IN
the year ending August l, 1914,
only 26,197 were born in the second
year of the war. ending August i.
1916.
"There is q crying need for ef-
fective work among children"
cables Major Grayson M. P. Murphy
head of the American Red Cross
Commission now in France. He re-
ports that there is great need for
doctors and nurses for work with
mothers and children, and the In
FAINT Welfare Unit will be prepared
to give such immediate relief as it
can.
With DR.. Lucas in the Unit, which
was financed by Mrs. William Lowell
Putnam of Boston, are DR.. ]. Morris
Slemons, of the Yale Medical
School, one of the best known of
American obstetricians; DR.. julius
Parker Sedgwick, physiological che
mist, professor at the University of
Minnesota: DR.. John C. Baldwin,
specialist in diseases of children; DR..
Claim F. Gelston, DR.. Lucas's assist
ant at the University of California;
DR.. N. o. Pearce, another specialist, F;
and the following experts in sociol-
ogy and child welfare work: Mrs. J. /!
Morris Slemons, Mrs. William P.
Lucas, Miss Elizabeth Ashe, and
Miss Rosamond Glider, daughter of
the poet.
These specialists will survey the
situation and study the work al :
ready being done by the French, and i
will practice without receiving COM
pensation from patients. The task
before the Red Cross, which will be !
carried on by this and succeeding !
units, is not only to cooperate with
French specialists but also to carry !,

among French mothers in the inter-
est Of better prenatal hygiene and
