What Diseases Really Are.

Diseases are not isolated affections
of the single organs in which they
manifest hemselves-mumps, of the
salivary glands; Uphold, of the bow
els; consumption, Of the lungs; nephri-
It's. of the kidneys; eczema, of the
skin, and so on-but are failure OF
the body as whole to carry on its
functions, and the particular organs
are merely groups of cells that for
specific reasons show the defect.
In accepting a position on the edf-
foriaI staff of the New York Medical
Journal DIR. Smith Ely Jelliffe, the ia
mous specialist in nervous and mental
diseases, says this conception of dis
ease is as old Hippocrates, but is
"too frequently overlooked in an era
of absorbing specialistic investiga-
ton"

"That is what / have telegraphed

Noureddin Bey gloomily.
"But why have you telegraphed
there?" / asked. "Why did you not
release him?"
Because replied the General
slowly, ga court-martial has found him
guilty and he has been sentenced to

Sultan can save him!" Then, seeing
my expression of horror. he added:
"My friend, loved Emmanuel better
than any man had known. But this
is war and personal feelings ray not

war are strict, and could not at
tempt to do SO without mut1ny

cused of treachery and suffer death.
And" he ended sadly, "the Doctor
has made no denial and no defense.
How could he offer any when the pa
pers were found inside his shoe?"
"You searched him."

had been made the subject of COM

him." he continued, "and we will
await the reply from Constaninople
in the prison."
He took me Familiarity by the arm
and led me through the monastery in
which he had his headquarters, along
paved interior court and into a
gloomy building at the rear, formerly
the monks chapel. There, closely
guarded, I found Emmanuel seated at
a table, writing. AS approached he

hand warmly.

Don't say that. Doctor!" I cried
wildly. "You-a spy! That is pre-
posterous. Did you not explain?"
He hung his head. There was
nothing to explain" he answered.

in my shoe.'
l looked keenly upon him, my heart
swelling with pity and grief. He was
just the same little gnome-like figure
of the old days of our friendship; the
beard was a little grayer, the eyes
perhaps frightened by the anticipa-

"Inshallah!" muttered Noureddin
Bey and turned aside. He had con.

God. The paper was the Doctors
death warrant from Constantinople.

shoulder. "Stay with me till the

Presently sergeant and a file of
soldiers entered, and the Doctor, see
ing them and understandin. what
their visit signifed, rose with a
smile and, placing himself at the ser
geant's side, marched with them out
of the building toward high white
wall at the opposite end of the court.
Noureddin Bey was waiting; it was a
task he would entrust to none other,
but he had not been able to bring
himself to enter the chapel again.
The Doctor, who knew by instinct
what was required Of him, took his
post with his back to the wall and
the soldiers. six in number, ranged
themselves in line, at the sergeant's
command, a dozen PAGES away, with
grounded rifles. Noureddin Bey read
something hurriedly and Emmanuel
spoke in few short words. The Gen

mediately a Greek priest came out of
a small door nearby, in which he had
evidently been waiting. He stood be-
side Emmanuel and prayed with ele-

knees, crossed himself, and rose

first of her name to win fame upon the
stage. There was Mrs. Ellington In
the latter part of the eighteenth CEN

day by Haydn. at Is a very fine por-
trait" said the great musician, but

"What is that?'' asked Reynolds. you
have painted her listening to the
angels" replied Haydn. "You ought TO
have represented the angels listening
to her."

PARDON, PLEASE! THANKsl
Belated Account of the Junior Recep-
ton and Dance for K. III. S. at
Guild Hall Thursday.

In the rush Of Patriotic Week and
the many events Of Saturday, the ac-
count of the Junior Prom at Guild Hall
on Friday evening war Internationally
crowded out of the social columns of
Saturdays edition. It was some
prom" too and it is regretted that the
report of it does not appear until today.
Guild Hall was the scene of patriot
ism and merriment on Friday evening
when the students who will leave Ke-
nosha High School this year by gradu-
alton were the guests of honor at the
annual Junior reception and dance
The decorating committee had done its
work we'll and the "Stars and Stripes"
and allied flags, helped out by ferns
and flowers, gave the ballroom an espe-
cially attractive setting. Music with
marvellous melody and life helped in
the entertainment of the guests and
made the ball one of the most enjoy
able in the history of the school
The evening started with reception
to the faculty and the seniors which
"broke the ice" and lead to the grand
march and dancing. In keeping with
wartime conservation, only light re-
freshments we're served and the young
people demonstrated their patriotism
by enthusiastically praising the plan.
The function was chaperoned by the
members of the High School faculty.
1t was an enjoyable and fitting start
for the series of social events which
later in the year will do honor to the
graduates of K. H. S. for 1918, and
proved the Juniors clever and enter
tanning hosts and hostesses.
