PREVENTIVE MEDICINE.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most dan
gerous diseases that medical men have
to contend with, often follows a cold
or attack of grip. The cold prepares
the system for the reception and de-
velopment of the pneumonia germ.
The longer the cold hangs on, the
greater the danger. Take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
first indication of a cold appears, so
as to get rid of it with the least pos
sible delay. It is folly to risk an at
tack of pneumonia when this remedy
may be obtained for a trihe.-adv.

LANGUAGE AND COMMERCE

Zulu taken down in shorthand is
the very latest phonetic achievement
at University college, Oxford. 1t is
quite a novel experiment which one
of the professors is carrying out with
the aid of Zulu who is visiting
England. A new sound in the Zulu
language has been discovered which
will have to be taken down by the
shorthand writer's without any idea
of its meaning. 1t will then be tran
scribed and submitted to the Zulu
visitor, who will pronounce upon its
accuracy. Zulu is not the only Arr
can language to which the professor
is giving his attention. Incidental
ly, but significantly, he is forging an
instrument of peaceful penetration

NUTRITIOUS PLANT

The French chemist Balland has
analysed an annual food plant called
"woandsu," growing in tropical At

Asia and Brazil.
This plant is, it appears, the first
fruit, in the natural state, that has
ever been examined and found to
contain all the chemical properties
of perfect nutriment. Two pounds
of it, it is claimed, would supply the
daily requirements of the human
system. Like the peanut, it natures

YOUTHFUL BISHOPS

At the recent browning of the
Arab Sheik Feisul as king of Meso-
potamia the ceremony was attended
by the archbishop of the HISTORIAN
Christians. This high and mighty
ecclesiastic owes his primacy to in
heritance rather than to election, and
turns out to be youngster about
ten years old. Which serves to recall
that George III nominated his Sec
ond SON, Frederick, duke of York, to
the titular bishopric of Osnaburg,
when he was but few months old,
which led Sidney Smith to remark
of him on one occasion that he un-
derstood that "the right reverend
father in God is in the process of
being weaned."

POLITE BUT POINTED "sHoT'


Following the adjournment OF the
peace conference in Versailles, M.
Jusserand, the French ambassador,
returned to America on the same
trip of the George Washington

home. Whether in honor of the VIC
torious nation represented on the
passenger list, or whether in simple
lad taste, moving picture entertain

ming of the voyage. Now, no one is

whatever walk of life you may name,
providing the movies represent any
thing novel. But these movies were
of the most obnoxious propaganda
type, showing war as war never was,
or ever hoped to be. M. Jusserand,
along with the President and others,
provided patient nightly audience
to these affairs.

CALLS VISIT AN AWAKENING
New Light on the Work Which Doctor
Lorenx Has Been Doing In the
United States.

The visit of DIR. Adolf Lorenz to
this country has awakened an inter
est in orthopedic surgery, an interest
which might have been awakened
centuries ago, had the moderns read
the ancients as closely as they ought.
In fact, the s'father of all medicine"
Hippocrates, born about AGO B. c.,
q man possessed of most unusual
common sense and devoid of all SUI
perstition, charlatanism and quack-
cry, himself outlined a method for
correcting physical defects without
the knife.
In his views on the nature of the
club-foot, for instance, he was "a
centuries in advance of his profess
sion, for he stated that there was no
dislocation, but merely declina-
ton of the foot, and that in infancy,
by means of methodical bandaging,
a cure may in most cases be effected
without any surgical operation.
"In word" says one commenta-
tor, ssuntil the days of Delpech and
Stronger (Nineteenth century,
no one entertained ideas SO sound
and scientific on the nature of this
deformity as Hippocrates."
