PROOF OF THE MORAL ELEMENT
IN CURE.

Much pompous nonsense is written for lack of little thinking arithmetic. Here endured operation the The said her death certain within twelve hours But the daughter said her coming home in two days So the 9r told the sick that her lived two days, and then well. The says the moral did the job.
 But he can't be Some people die whom the think will live and live who expected to die It would take hundreds and thousands of prove
 That is to say that the operation being performed and all the patients being about the condition it be to give the moral to of to the others If in there cenage the side of those who recovered something scientific might be deduced attempt deduction from single nnscientific is of little value
 There s however, plenty of evidence that the moral factor does operate powerfully for health Those who who have fear, resistant rule than bounding optimism.
 Accurate thinking has its limitations better than inaccurate thinking.

SHOULD A DOCTOR TELL THE
 TRUTH?

While I was in Boston recently, I heard famous doctor give lecture on medical ethics to the Harvard medical students.
 Among other things he discussed whether a physician should tell the truth to his patients. and inferred that he should do that little thing.
 Of course. he added, he did not mean that a doctor should open his mouth and push all his intimate knowledge of pathology, causes,
 symptoms and consequences of di- sease to his patients, but I gathered that if the lecturer thought the pa
 tient was going to die he considered it a good idea to tell that patient so. I disagree with him entirely. When
 I was practicing medicine the more I
 thought a patient was going to die, the more I assured him that he would
 be up and doing, somebody. right soon. And often he was!
 I got that wisdom by a little ex- perience I had once when I thought the same as the lecturer. I had charge of a tuberculosis ward and one of. the patients, a shrewish old lady who really was ready to inter- view St. Peter, asked me what I l thought of her case and how long it would take her to get well. 
 I gave her a sweet, philosophical | talk on death-how we all have to die why even I, big robust to bursting, l expected to die omet1me!-we might as well be sports about it, eh what? My word. She disrupted the whole ward after I left. I clean lost my dis l ctpline. She said I was a fool, an | idiot, and her idea of nothing at all | The idea of a doctor telling a patient
 she was going to die! The fact tha, she did die in 8 couple of days nc | doubt she blamed on me.
 l It taught me lesson. If we doc l tors always knew, it might be differ 1 ent. But do we?
 Of course if this doctor in question he is a very famous diagnostican- l if he tells a patient that he has rc die. I suppose the patient just natur-
 ally has to do it. But we are not al
 so infallible as that expert diagnostr | can.
 And I would like to ask this docto ol if he has not heard of he numerous

persons who say they were given up to die by at least five or six of us, and then they began to study this, that or the other cult, changed their mental attitude, stopped thinking about themselves. aSd got yell?
 Their evidence goes to show how foolish it is for any doctor to prog nosticate the demise of any patient.
 So I differ with the lecturer. After my experience I never gave a patient up to die until I saw the undertaken arriving with his coffin.
 Of course if the patient was per- son of propety and had not made out his will, and there was litigation and trouble from this fact when he did die, physician who took the same stand that I do would come in for a bit of censure. would advise in such case that the doctor let the family know the seriousness of the patients condition and let them attend to the will part before the end. They might not be so successful as the noted Conan Doyle in getting in touch after ward.
 In case the doctor does this. 1t would be well for him to tell the fam fly this story I read recently, 50 they might avoid the same error:
 An old Scotsman, David Gordon, was Sef1OuSly III, WlLn SCanT nope or recovery. He had been wheedled by relatives into making a will, and they were now gathered about his bedside
 watching him laboriously sign it. He got as far as D-A-V-I-. then fell back exhausted.
 "D. Uncle David, D." exhorted a nephew.
 "Dee!" calculated the old Scot, 1 feeb1y but with indignation. 'II dee | when I'm ready. ye avarictous l wretch!"

CHAPTER III (Continued)
 Hefned In,

Janet thought she could afford to
 overlook that single disadvantage
 After all, one could not have every thing. Perhaps her husband might
 object to living on the top floor of a
 walk up,'' but if the apartment was
 high in one sense, the rent, at least, was low-ffve dollars per month less, in fact than what they were pay
 ing at present. She counted on that argument to prevail over Al1an's ob- jections.
 She followed the man up four flights of step, stone steps. Her
 knees were crying out in protest. and she was gasping like a fish out Of water as they began the ascent of
 the fifth flight. Still she was opti- nistic She would have been willing to make that climb twice a. day
 for every day of her life if only she could escape from the danger which threatened her.
 ."Stairs are bit tiring," the jani- tor remarked sympathetically- "But they ain't so bad after you get used to them The lady that's got the apartment now never minded them until recently. She's been havin' trouble with her heart lately, and her doctor said she'd have to live in 8 house where there was an elevator. That's the only reason she's movin. :" | ttNice woman, too," he continued | seTll be sorry to see her go. Mrs.

 never stopping until she was out on the street again.
 | Later when she got over her panic,
 she returned to that house. After all
 she treasured herself, the inspector
 probably would not be at home at
 that hour of the day, and. although an encounter with Mrs. Holden would
 not be pleasant, it at least would be I tolerab1y safe. Besides, in her des- peration, she was almost tempted to | rent the rooms without inspecting l them.
 | But when she interviewed the jam | itor again she learned that the op- | portunity had passed. Another Par l ty" had been there just five minutes | ago and had paid a deposit on the | flat.
 II And that was the only chance which l offered itself to Janet Every day for the next two weeks she continued
 her weary pilgrimage, becoming more and more Respondent, but never quite
 abandoning hope.
 She was still hunting in vain for 9 home when the first of the month
 came round and a big moving van filled with the furniture of the Hold en family, backed up in front of the
 Queensdale.

Early Evacuation
 Asia Minor Front
 By Greeks Is Seen

London, Sept. 5.-News of the
 successive reverses suffered by
 the Grekes at the hands of the
 Turkish NationalistS in Asia
 Minor is believed here to forecast
 early evacuation of the entire
 area by the Greek army.
 Indeed, the evacuation has already begun, according to the Daily Mail, which quotes Greek official circles in London as declaring the army will be out of the country within three weeks. The newspaper attributes to it's Greek official informant the statement that thefarn9y is worn out with fighting.
 Many of the soldiers have been in one battlefield or another for the last 12 years" he said, "and they are thor ough1y disheartened by the conviction that there is nothing tangible to fight for.'

CHAPTER ". Face To Face

Those, who know their New York will not be greatly surprised to learn that for several weeks after Inspector Holden and his wife moved into their new home the encounter which Janet Fremont apprehended failed to mat erialize.
 Ships that pass in the night stand a fair chance of hailing one another nowadays. The invention of MT. Mar conf has rendered that phrase some what inert as a metaphor of aloof- ness. But the isolation of the aver age New York apartment house dweller still remains proverbia1- A famous detective has said that if he were a fugitive from justice, the spot he would choose for a hiding place would be the heart of Manhattan Is- land. To illustrate his point he cites the historic case of the two separated brothers who came to the great me tropolis to hunt for each other, ana after six years of vain searchin g found that they had been living m the same flat house all the time. That,
 possibly, is an extreme case, but there are countless other instances which go to prove that one-half of New York does not know where the other half lives.
 Every weekday morning at eight O CLOCK t1OIOen emerged rom ms apartment on the third floor of the Queensdale and went down in the e1e-
 vator. If he glanced at the door of the flat across the hall the glance was purely Sub-conScious one. Mrs Holden had mentioned to him the | t'snobbish behavior" of the woman | opp osite, but he was not greatly in- | terested. He had too mucn on ms
 mind to bother himself about such a 1 trif1e.

 What do you want?" Janet de- manded again looking at him in hor- TOT.
 Nothing in particular Just a. lit tie social cal.'' Raymond replied, Suppose you ask me inside" he sug- gested. 'I don't much fancy door way conversations. Make me feel like a book agent, or a soap can- vasser."
 Disinclined though she was to en- certain this visitor Janet promptly declined to admit him. It would be more prudent than to keep him out there in the hall where at any mo- ment he might be seen and recogniz- ed by Inspector Holden.
 The man followed her into the liv- ing room and seated himself uninvit- ed in the most comfortable chair.
 Well. how've you been?" he in- qupired breezily. You're looking first class. considering everything. Don't quite fancy the way you've got your hair fixed, though. Liked the old style better
 His gaze turned from his hostess to the furnishings of the apartment

 Mrs. Fremont regarded him with mingled fear and curiosity
 ''How did you manage to find me?' she asked. ''I didn't tell you where I lived when-er-theIast time we met.'

ful by keeping good-natured Mrs. Holden at a distance.
 She received a letter from Allan one day announcing that he had fin ished his business out West and was about to start for home.
 "I am sorry you had such a scare with the little fellow her husband wrote. In her last letter to him she had narrated Buddy's narrow escape from strangulation.
 Thank goodness it turned out to be a comedy instead of a. tragedy! And thank fortune, too, that our neighbor happened to be so close at hand I suppose, little woman, the incident has served to make you quite chummy with the Eoldens. It must have opened your eyes to the fact that folks can be worth while even if their names don't appear in tlls social register How do you like Inspector H.? Agreeable sort of chap, isn't he? Please give him my regards. look forward to many enjoyable games of bridge with him and his good lady when I return home. You won't object to their visiting us now, of course, girly?''
 Janet had just finished reading his letter when the door bell rang. When she responded to the summons she 4 good-1ooking, dapper young man, in a blue cheviot suit of fashionable cut. stood on the thresh old, grinning at her sardonical1y.
 "How do you do?" he said. ''I see you haven't forgotten me-

CHAPTER V From Out of the Past


 From that day Janet was a little less pertubed in mind. But she was not yet completely reassured, and she made every effort to avoid a second meeting with the Inspector John Hol- den.
 She had been in negligee at the time of the first encounter. With her wealth of blond hair streaming over her shoulder, and her slender form clad in a. kimono, she had look ed very different from the woman who had been arrested a year before in the Cafe D'Artagnan. That. com bined with the excitement of the mo- ment was the reason that he had failed to identify her, she decided. But it would not do to run the risk again, she told herself, with. a shud- der Eternal vigilance must still be the price of her safety So she con tinued to make furtive exits and en- frances from and to her apartment, and was obliged to appear unTrata-

THE ATTRACTIVE HOUSEWIFE

There never has been a time when a hoousekeeper could look so attrac- tive as the present. One reason for this is continued liking for the one piece loose frock of straight lines. Another reason is that cotton goods are no longer scarce and expensive, as they were for a number Of years.
 Materials now are morea beautiful than anything known since the old days of hand looms and block print ing The loveliest of these present. day cottons are hand printed, their colors so blended as to give the ef- feet of some old hand prints that have been packed away for a cen- tury And these materials are not only sold by the yard, but can be found made up in completed frocks at any sum from $50 upward to S10O or more. Such dresses-though made of cotton and simple in their straight-line design-have proved the most beautiful things of this season and are suited to any summer or early fall function.
 True, these frocks would not be suited to rough usage, although they launder perfectly. But they can be easily copied as to style and 1 am offering them as suggestion for dresses that are better suited to the housek eeper's needs. Now, as the season wanes. on many bargain coun- ters will be found the light weight cretonnes or the new cotton prints, equally beautiful in design and color ing. Three or four yards, at 50 cents a yard, makes up a frock that will not only wash well, but be so pie turesque as to transform into a, verit- able eye feast many a woman who has looked uninteresting in her other dresses.

GREB IS BIG FAVOR|TE
IN BOUT WITH TUNNEy
BY FAIR PLAY,

NEW YORK, May 22-From Red
Bank, n. j., where Gene Tunney,
light ht-heavyweight champion of Amer
lea, is training for his Tuesday night
battle with Harry Greb- at the Madi-
son Square Garden. comes word that
he is trained to the minute, fit and
ready. Every New York fight fan
knows Greb's condition, because Harry
has been working out in the Garden
gymnasium.
Today money was being offered on
Greb at two to one; big money. too,
with no takers. Some half
to-one money was put down on
the Pittsburgher, but the tendency
of the short-enders was to ask IL to S,
which was bigger than the Greb
financiers would give.
Greb has gained for himself the
name Pittsburgh wildcat" and that
is just what he looks like when he is
in the ring. He is regarded as a light
hitter, but fast as chain lightning and
with world of experience.
Against him is a bigger man who
certainly can wallop, but has not had
too much experience, and is credited
in some quarters with not liking pun
ishment. Frank Bagley. Genes man.
ager, dopes it that Harry will dance
himself in the way of one of Tunneys
righthand wallops in the course of
the fight. and then stop dancing for
the evening. Maybe so.
Whether Tunney wins or loses, he
will drag down about $4,000 for his
evenings eXertions.
