STUDENT MOVEMENT
 GAINING STRENGTH
International News Service.

CHICAGO, May 1l.-Thc patriotic movement started among the students of Harvard college has spread through the middle west, and every student body of any size has fallen in flne, with the result that not alone have they offered to enlist in a body in the Uni ted States army and navy, but a great number have gone the others one bet ter and have already left their classes and joined the colors. It Is expected that following the commencement ex- ercises in many of the universities, thousands of students will enlist for active service, and it is known that mnay of these will insist that if they john either the army or navy, it will be to go into action across the water and not be compelled to go to the Mexican border.
 This proves the calber of these chaps and is sure evidence of the proper spirit, but of course the gov ernment has something to say in mat ters of this nature, so the rah -rahs for thelr own protection will undoubtedly be put through their course of sprouts for several months before they cross the briny.

DEATH BY DOCTORS VERDICT

It is related that when Buffalo Bill, that good old scout, was i'll the other day he asked his physician what were his chances. The physician, according to accepted reports, made a reply that meant his patient had no chance at a,-.
 "How long ?" he asked and was told that the end was close at hand. To others the physician seems to have sa d the sick man would die in 36 hours. AS matter of fact he lived longer than that, meantime amazing the doctor by his display of increasing strength and vitality.
 No doubt the doctor here was hon. estly loyal to the traditions of his job Most doctors do this kind of thing and sincerely believe it is right. But the great question is whether, in view of what we know now about mind and body it isn't about time to throw over. board these ancient and dangerous traditions.
 Like this: What good can it possibly do to tell a sick man he is about to die? Who can really know whether he is or not? Four years ago they had Dr. Mary Walker at the very point of death with 24 hours to live. and so years old as she was she chased them all out of her room and recovered.
 Thousands and thousands of men and women are now walking about this earth in excellent health that have been notified by good and honest physicians that the end was at hand. They didn't believe it and got we'll.
 There was nothing even in Col. Cody's years that made his death at this time inevitable. An increasing number of investigators scout the idea that at a certain age the machine runs down and vital processes must stop. But if there is anything that can make death reasonably certain and is as deadly as rife bullets it is the phy- sician's verdict to a sick man that he has no chance.
 Provided the sick man believes it. If he doesn't he will probably live to bury the physician. - Bridgeport Standard.
