LEAVE WELL PERSONS ALONE
Physicians Of Opinion That IL Does
More Harm Than Good to Set Up
Cause for Worry.

The question whether doctors should
treat sick men or well men rent the
serenity Of the New York Academy of
Medicine, says the New York Times.
The debate started over O discussion
as to how to doctor up Americans 90
as to make this the most efficient of
nations. The doctors were no nearer a
solution Of the problem when they ad-
journed than when the discussion be.

After a prolonged discussion of the
proper remedies for the presence of
inefficient persons in the community,
In which It was prophesied that the
day was coming when 1t would be
fashionable to be examined, physically
and mentally, every now and then,
Doctor Meltzer said: 'That will only

Do you know why a dog doesn't die?
I'll tell you-a dog never knews why
he is living and that he Is going to
die: after he's dead, he doesn't know
It; therefore dog never dies. Peo-
pie go on for years living orderly lives
until somebody, maybe an insurance
doctor, tells them they have something
the matter with them, and, thence
forth, until they reach their grave,
they are sick. Let the physician treat
the sick and let the well alone. It is
time more was done for the sick man.
The doctors job is with the sick man."

LIVED TO HELP FELLOW MEN
RusI<ln's Noble Words Show How The

20 Self-sacrlfIce.

John Ruslkin began his life as an
art critic; as one who could see what
was truest and most full of the beau
ity that helps the soul; he counted II
his mission, his gift, to open the dull
eyes of his countrymen to see the
glory Of the vision that had daxzled
his own. He flung the treasures OF
his mind before men in three great
books - Modern Painters" "The
Stones OF Venice" and "The Seven
Lamps OF Architecture" But mean.

mind some knowledge of the deadness
OF the human soul, Of the misery Of
human lives, Of the degradation and
brutality rampant everywhere in mod.
ern society. he could not go on talk.
ing beautifully about pictures when
men were starving. Hence he felt the
necessity Of leaving his gift before the
altar. or, at any rate, Of Harvesting II
to other uses. He says: "For my own
part ! feel the force Of mechanism
and the fury of avaricious commerce to
be at present so irresistible that ]
have seeded from the study not only
Of architecture but nearly Of all art;
and have given myself, as would in
a besieged city, to seek the best modes
Of getting bread and butter for its
multitudes."
Again he says: II cannot paint, nor
read, nor look at minerals, nor do
anything else that like, and the very
light Of the morning sun has become
hateful to me, because Of The misery
that I know Of, and see signs Of, where
/ know 1t not, which no imagination
can interpret too bitterly. Therefore
I will endure it no longer quietly, but
henceforward, with any few or many
who win help, do my poor best to
abate this misery"

HIGH HEELS PUT
CORNS ON TOES
TELLS WOMEN HOW TO DRY UP
A CORN so IT LIFTS OUT
WITHOUT PAIN.

Modern high-heeled footwear buck
les the toes and produces corns, and
many Of the thousands of hospital
cases of infection and lockjaw are the
result of woman's suicidal habit of
trying to cut away these painful
pests.
For little cost there can be obtained
at any pharmacy a quarter Of an ounce
OF a drug called freezone, which is
sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn of callJis without the
slightest danger or Inconvenience.
"A few drops applied directly upon
the tender. aching corn stops the sore
ness and shortly the entire corn, root
and ALI lifts right out. It is sticky
substance, which dries the moment 1t
Is applied, and thousands of men and
women use 1T because the corn shrivels
up and comes out without infiaming
or even Irritating the surrounding tis-
sue or skin. Cut this out and try it IL
your corns bother you.-Advt.

Mlnerva's Bird.

The Greeks made the owl the en-
blem OF wisdom. Shakespeare makes
the witches add the wing Of an owl to
their caldron Of deadly potion, and
sit was the owl that shrieked, the
fatal belIman." For centuries the owl
was accused Of such evil practices as
Turing hunters into dangerous swamps
and causing the bride to commit sui
eide just "a hours before the time set
for the wedding. Napoleon exhorted
his soldiers to sleepless vigilance with
the command: "Sleep with the owls
and get upNwith the larks."

Steel for BattIeships.

Nearly $4,000 gross tons Of steel will
be needed to build the SO various new
battleships, destroyers and submarines
bids for the construction Of which were
taken by the United States navy in
October. When these are added to ouI
navy they will make 1t one Of the most
formidable in the world. Some en-.
tightening statistics regarding these
naval vessels appear In Popular Me
chanics Magazine. In each of'the four
new battle cruisers there will be 15,O25
tons Of steel; in each Of the four new
battleships there will be 1871 tons
OF steel; in the 20 new destroyers, 800
tons Of steel each, and in the so new
submarines, 1S6 tons each. A hospital
ship and an ammunition ship will need
1900 tons Of steel each. Taking $40 Q
ton as the average price Of steel al
present, these vessels mean an outlay
Of not less than 100000 for the

.COL. REICHMIHANN
 DEFENDS LOYALTY
 BEFORE COMMITTEE
American Army Officer of German Birth Whose Pro- motion Is Held Up De-
 nies Charges Made

Washington. August 25.-col. Carl Reich mann. whose nomination as brgadier general has been held up. specifically denied before a Senate military subcom- mittee that he ever had said the army draft law would be so unpopula: as to cause civil war, or that German submarine warfare was justified under international law or that American troops should not be sent to France.
 Regarding the charge that he had de- tended German air raids on England, particularly one in which children in a schoolhouse were killed. Colonel Reich mann explained that in discussion of the raids he asked companion whether English raids on Zeebrugge, Belgium, were any more Justified.
 The colonel said he believed from both a military and a personal standpoint troops should be sent to Franco and that neither his German percentage nor the residence of two sisters in Germany would influence his conduct if he should be placed in charge of soldiers in tho fighting lines.
 The committee, which Is sitting in ex- ecutive session, expects to call several witnesses named by Colonel Reichmann and by Senator Polndexter, as well as persons who have written letters to the committee regarding the case.

FURTHER DECLINE
 OF COTTON PRICES
Closing Figures S22 Lower Than High Point of
 the Month

New York. August 25.-Stiil lower prices were reached in the cotton market today, December selling at 21.7sc, or 57 points under last nights closing figures and about s22 per bale below the high point of the month. That delivery closed at 21.Soc. with the general list closing barely steady at a net decline of 4s to 5S points.
 Reactionary sentiment was in evidence during the earlier trading. The market opened unchanged to points lower un- der overnight selling orders, but soon steadled on covering, promoted by the usual weekend considerations. the ex- tent of the recent decline and possibly by apprehension that crop reports next week might not fully meet bearish ex- pectations. Except for covering. local brokers found very few buyers around the ring, and offerings increased on bulge of some 10 to 15 points above last nights closing figures.
 The renewal of pressure appeared to be encouraged by the continued reports of freer new crop offerings in the south. and the very favorable average of pri- vate crop advices. Stop orders were un- covered as prices eased off, while there was reselling by some of the early buy CTS, and the market was weak late in the morning, with both October and Janu- ary contracts selling off to 2l.78c. and with the more active months showing net losses of 52 to 59 points. The close showed slight rallies on covering. Pri- vate cables reported futures neglected in Liverpool but said that southern offer ings were increasing at an easier basis. January sold 21.7Sc today compared with 2620c, the high point of August 7, and 271Sc, the high record of late last June.
