Those who read the spoftinr page
know that prize lighters wear their
opponents down before they try u
send homo the ''haymaker. Rarely
is a knockout blow delivered without
some minutes or even rounds OF
foundation laying When Professor
Dempsey indulged IN his classical
argument with Farmer Willard he
spent three rounds in wearing him
down, and then, 10 quote him ae-
curately, II socked him"
There Is IA French medical pfoyerb
that men seldom die from the dis
eases with which they suffer. This
proverb Is capable OF several inter-
pretations. Tho one ! am how maxi
ing use OF Is ar follows;
| After being worn down by the
various experiences OF life, including
the diseases they have had. along
comes some disorder, sometimes n
mild one. and administers the coup
| de grace--"socks 'em," IN the Ian
! guase OF Professor Dempsey,
DIR. l.. I. Dublin studied very care
| fully the subsequent histories Of
..07s men who were rejected by life
insurance companies because they
had plbumin In the urine At the
( time or the study these 2.073 men
had lived an aggregate of 12.07s
years. or an average OF fix years
after the examination. Taking the
number OF deaths OF healthy people
OF the ages OF these men as 100. II
was found that ia men OF this
group had died. The proportion OF
deaths TO normal was III to 100.
When comparison was made with
men as picked by n careful life In
surance examination. the proportion
was as i4l TO 100. -
In those cases where the record
showed only n faint trace OF albu-
min. the excess OF deaths had been
slight. II the faint trace man was
young-l5 to 20 years old--there
was no excess. II he was older the
excess was above the average.
Dublin also studied n grorp of
2.264 persons who were rejected be-
cause Of albumin and casts in. the
urine. The average time which had
elapsed since the examina Ion was
six and one-half years. The deaths
In this group. as compared with the
expected rate according to the Glo-
yer table, was as 1873 to 100. AL
bumin with casts Is more serious
than albumin alone. The greater
the number OF casts. and especially
granular casts. the higher the ex-
cess of deaths.
Again. the figures showed that
Bright's disease in a youth less than
"a Is not very serious. A study Of
the cause of death showed Bright's
disease and heart disease leading.
with apoplexy and diabetes toward
the fore. Strange to say, consump-
ton and cancer and some other dis
eases which are in no wise related
to Bright's disease were consider
ably in excess of normal.
And now here is what this study
teaches us:
/. Persons with Brigh:'o disease
can live for many years If they will
live properly.
2. Bright's disease in a young
person Is not very serious If care is
given.
3. Nevertheless, on an average,
persons who have had Brieht's dis
ease are not good risks.
4. They have a higher death rate
within Six years of their trouble
than does the average man
5. They die from diseases which
are often closely related to kidney
trouble.

young man Of 23 and afflicted with
rupture. What ir the best way Of
curing it?
"2. Is an operation necessary?
"3. What is good for perspiring'
feet?"
REPLY.
/. A few hernias are cured by
wearing trusses, a few by exercises,
but operation is the only reasonably
certain cure.
2. Operation Is not necessary for
comfort and efficiency. A truss ac-
complishes that as rule. It is
necessary for cure, or almost so.
8. Wash and keep clean Apply
alum water occasionally or dust
ing powder consisting Of sixty parts
alum and forty parts taicum.

J.. Set the bottle of milk in a deep !
saucepan filled with water to the
level Of the milk in the bottle. The !
bottle should be set on the handle /
OF a spoon so that the glass bottom
may be lifted from close contact |
with the bottom of the pan. Heat |
the water until the milk becomes
beady. Hold at that temperature
for thirty minutes. Remove and
