CONCLUSIONS
 CONCERNING CONSTIPATION

This title sounds like me. I am fond of alliteration, but I'll have to confess didn't originate this. It IS the title of an article written by Dr. L. M. Gompertz, of Yale, some years ago. He was interested in the sub- ject of constipation and conductea a series of experiments upon h1mself and upon some students who volun- teered, to find out how long it took for the food to complete the course of the intestinal tract.
 He. administered three capsules containing ten grains each of lamp black, (you could eat some charcoal if you want to try this), and found that it took from 12 to 24 hours be- fore it appeared in the stool. When it was given in the evening meal, it appeared the following morning. When it was given at breakfast. it also appeared the following morning, unless the subject had the habit of a bowel movement later in the day, when it appeared at that time.
 His conclusions about constipation were that there might be more or less grave consequences from it. He gave: temporary loss of memory, irritations of the kidneys with albumen in the urine, convulsions, skin disorders, ah- sorption of the toxins causing arter- io-Sclerosi (harden1ng of the arter-
 ies), and general irritation of the wfl ole system. He gives these causes: 1. Diet erroneous or a too perfect absorption of the diet ("Greedy Co., lonD.
 g. Increased acidity of the gastric
 juices.
 8. Irregular habits.
 A. Insufficient exercise. Seden- tary occupations. OBESITY. D. Nervous influences. Hysteria. 6. Dress.
 2. Local obstruction. There seems to be varying opin- ions among the auth critics I consult | ed about constipation. However, the majority of them consider that a com p1ete evacuation of the bowels once a | day is most desirable.

EDUCATORS PLAN
 TO REFORM OLD
 RED SCHOOLHOUSE
Say Much Congestion In Cities Due to Inability of Schools To Make Country Life Attractive.

New York, Aug. 11-Add to the list of idols smashed to sn1ithereens by the efficiency of modern science that quaint institution of American rural life-the little red schoolhouse"- now denounced by educational experts of Columbia University as "a danger to national progress"
 Experiments conducted for the past year in tiny school in Warren Coun- ty, N. J., have proved to Dr. Fannie Dunn, of Teachers College, Columbia, that the problems attending the evils of the 'cult of the little red school house." as pr. Dunn calls it. can be solved by the same methods that have brought progress in teaching the Forty-four pupils attended the typi- cal schoolhouse in Warren County, which was seven miles from a trunk line railroad, two miles from a post single teacher was forced to instruct eight grades. There are still 100000 similar schools in the United States, | just 16o,o0o too many, Columbia edu- Der to 40,000. Changes that seem ap- | pallingly revolutionary to Americans who remember the rigid, plaster-cast | deneanor that was exacted of every country schoolboy who was forced to attend the little red schoolhouse of years ago, are recommended for those | Ione-teacher institutions that will re- main Unrestricted movement about | the room, the installation of pupil helpers for the teacher, a more club | by'' spirit among the youngsters, and the application of the 'automat idea in teahing the children to gain large part of the education themselves from the school library, are part of the new plan evolved from the Warren County tests.
 Despite whittier's legend of the famous schoolboy of the Iu red building" whose feet of tan" betok- ened splendid health. Professor Thomas w. Wood of the Eye Sight IConservatfon Council of America, who lis interested in the experiments, says lthat 87 per cent. of the pupils in rural Fschools in New York state have health defects, as opposed to 72 per cent; lo I15,O0O, of the 24,00o,O00 school children have bodily defects.
 So expressing are the faults of coun- try schools, the experts say: that mucn from the inability of the schools to make country life attractive. Efforts are now being made through meetlnss at Columbia of such educators as MISS Charl c. Williams, recent president oi Mrs. Katherine Cook, of the Federal Bureau of Education, and pr: Kenyon IL. Butterfield, president of Massachu- setts Agricultural College, te orlns about the changes in rural eoucaIlon that will end the plaint of the modern schoolboy:

JOHN BULL IN IRELAND

 Somebody has good enough send "The Times" a John Bul of July ast containing article entitled God Save Ireland.'

 "Above all, you must not speak or move from the piano until l come TO you," added the other
 'I understand" again salo Nora Mrs sanderson gave her searching glance.

 Nora followed her. The next instant she was pelng led into the dark space.
 Here is the piano" whispered Mrs Sanderson. "Now play, go on playing till I come to you.
 Nora heard Mrs. Sanderson's skirts rustic; the noise ceased with the quiet closing of a door. Nora was brave; she was loyal; and she exerted herself to carry out the compact faithfully. She began to play. She played on and on. how long she knew not, until a hand stayed her.
 With a start. she stopped. Nora rose and guided by Mrs. Sanderson, went put into the light. Confused she blinked at her friend, and saw her smiling. "Oh, Nora, how happy you have | made me- were the curious wcros Mrs. Sanderson was saying. You can't dream of the good you've done"

 TEAAr .Axdor Qf Diet andHea ,.pif1 Kp to te CaLiss

There have been instances of peo- pie, apparently in perfect health, who have had bowel movements but once in two days. In the older articles that I read, one said that 1t was the experience of every medical man of any considerable practice, that there are persons whose habit is to have bowel movement but once week. A few years ago (that would mean many years ago now) the cases were very numerous indeed, and the req son that they are not so numerous now is because the medical men have impressed upon the patient that a daily evacuation is important. This author also stated that he had had a patient at Stephan Green, lady whose habit it was from childhood to have her bowels relieved once a fort night and if they moved oftener she felt weak and exhaustedi
 pr. Kellogg, of Battle Creek, wouldn't agree that a person could live three weeks without bowel | movement, for he thinks that an in dividua1 to have perfect health should have a bowel movement three or four times a day. In the diet he | advises to bring on such frequent evacuation, he gives enough bran ev- cry day to furnish the bulk necessary. | It seems to be the concensus of opinion that if there is a good bowel movement once a day, that it will | clean out the tract so there is no danger of any absorption.
 think that in many instances the l dangers of constipation, at least for i some persons, are over-estfmated. Perhaps some of the supposed effects l of constipation are due to the worry | over the condition-and the worry, | of course, as I have explained in a previous article, makes the constipa- | ton worse, and so there is a vicious | circle. However, there is no reason why any of us should be constipated | if we don't want to be, and tomor- l row will conclude this series on con- | situation and give you the methods to relieve it.

 Washington, Aug. 11-Senator Reed Shoot, of Utah. is opposed to housing Government departments in "Greek temples
 As chairman of the Public Build ings Commission. he has submitted a report to the Senate recommen ding the adoption of a building program which will result in establishing all Federal departments in permanent fireproof structures and condemning the erection Of "Greek temples as both foolish and unnecessary"
 After three years experience in dealing with the housing of the Gov Shoots report declared, this com mission is unanimously of the opinion that at the earliest practical date Con- gress should adopt a building pro- of all Government departments in

 Among the Governments most ur- gent building needs at present, Sena- | tor Shoot suggested the following: l. building for the storage o1 archives and records of the Govern ment.

New Structures To House Government Departments

 Aside from the protection it would afford those records from fire, IL would make available for office pur- of office. now being used for storage in the various public buildings.
 '3The Department of Agriculture is probably the worst housed institution occupying 25 buildings scattered ovs1 the city and many of them are poorsS ada pted for office purposes.
 -'The various divisions of the gen eral accounting office should by all means be housed under one roof. They are compelled to occupy several rented buildings at this time in order to obtain fireproof space, which is very necessary in view of the charac- ter of their work.
 Need New Treasury Home.
 'sThe construction Of building for the Bureau of Internal Revenue and other outlying bureaus of the Treas ury Department is most urgent need"
 Buildings Commission had effected an annual saving of $590, in rental charges for the Government in the District of Columbia, reducing the to- to $545,S73. The anua1 rental charge is expected to be brought down to s400,Go0 before the end of the present calendar year Much of the saving has been effected by giving up rented buildings and moving bureaus and de- partm ents in buildings owned by the GoVernm ent.
 It was also pointed out in the Shoot report that the Public Buildings Com mission got along with only one clerk, ard of the initial appropriation of s10,oo0 made for it's expenses three years ago $1,084.10 remained in the Treasury

CHAPTER IT. A Friend in Need

The bachelor made desperate at- tempts to further his acquaintance With Nora May, but in vain. After that first day the fair-haired stranger evaded him all she could.
 Taking it altogether, Nora May was not popular. Her silence built up barrier between her and every one on board.
 Mrs. Sanderson was sympathetic. but annoyed. The captain eyed her coIdly.
 But nothing mattered; nothing made her break the silence regard ing herself and the canvas boat. After a day Or two she was left to | the loneliness she courted, and Mrs, Sanderson noted it respectfully.
 She began to move her things from Nora's stateroom- The girl. came in while she was doing it. Mrs. Sanderson smiled up at her You don't want nurse any l longer, do you?'' she said. "So I'm | gong back to my stateroom You want to be alone. don't you, my dear %
 NO; I don't want to be alone. I'm actually frightened to be by myself Mrs Sanderson, I must seem a ter rlble enigma to you, but I can't heIp it. I'd give anything to be able to | tell you evereything, but I can't" Il stay here, then, if you want | me- she said Nora reached out a hand
 "Oh, how good you are to mel she said, her eyes filling with tears There was a pause. Nora staret into vacancy, and the elder woman watched her anxiousIy.
 Miss May" she said abruptly
 you are aware that we reach Cor. | into tonight The captain mention ed something about your being pu off there''
 At Corinto! Won't the captair take me on to Panama?''
 Anxiety shone in every feature as Nora spoke.
 'T can't pay for my passage now she continued rapidly. 'sbut I woult see that it was, paid some time | Iater.''
 Perhaps I can arrange with tn, captain" said Mrs. Sanderson. | Would you, really? Oh, it woult mean so much to me,' cried Nora.
 T will ararnge it." said the othe on an impulse. How can I thank your" said tn girl
 Miss May. will you tell me on thing?" asked her friend, What ar you going to do after you leave thi | boat ?"
