the recent volume of criticism of the general
character and conduct of the. young people of

The Daily Short Story

Three strides brought him close
to Barbara, and, forgetting his in
structions and obeying only his
natural impulses, he caught her up
in his arms. 1t would have taxed
the strongest imagination to have
called that kiss but brotherly. For
a moment Barbara was stunned,
and then her wrath was poured
upon Dicks defenseless head.
If Alice had not appeared hur-
riedly upon the scene with exclam-
atoms of surprise upon noting the
likeness Of Barbara's coat to the
one she herself was wearing, Dick
would probably boarded the train
and gone on, not caring where it
took him.
"Of course Dick mistook you for
me. Naturday he would. My dear,
where did you get a coat so like
mine?"
/ Dick breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks be to the stars for sister
like Alice. But the end was not
yet.
Dick spent a wretched half hour
waiting for the girls to come down
to dinner. Alice's husband had
taken himself off, for which Dick
was devoutly thankful. Not that
Bob wasn't nice enough chap, but
this was no time to talk. politics,
etc. In Dicks opinion something
more than the fate OF a nation was
to be settled within the next few
hours. He turned Quickly upon
, hearing the door of the living room
open.
1t was Barbara. "Alice will be
down in a few minutes" Barbara's
eyes evaded Dicks.
I'm sorry, Barbara for the mis-
take l so stupidity made at fhe sta
ton" Dicks face was-Quite calm
and Barbara could not know that
he was secretly calling himself a
liar.
Barbara's face flushed. 1t was a
long moment before she spoke, and
then her voice was very low.

Alice's eyes sparkled in a way
which Dick well knew. 1t was a
sure sign that her brain was busily

never failed Dick, and this was to
be no exception to the rule.

study. He was trying to follow
Alice, but his face was so blank
that his sister laughed outright.
Then, Dick, you are to leave
the train only after you are sure
Barbara gets off. Then, no matter
who is at the station, you hear, nc
matter if the president should be
holding a wedding reception at the
very train steps-you are to rush
up and kiss Barbara. She'll be fur

Dicks face had frightened, but
his smile was soon succeeded by a
frown.

again and then I'll be worse of
than before. However, I'm game

Rcst for he Sick Lune.

The most valuable, and unfOrtu-
nately the very last lesson the tu-
berculosis subject learns is that
irest heals the sick lung. Il is sad
ito contemplate the great number of
victims of this disease who feel they
know more instinctively or fntu-
itively thap doctor knows and
, who indulge in daily walks, deep
breathing or other exercise ito
keep up strength" when they should
be enjoying the advantage OF abso-
Lutte rest. So far as insuring re-
covery is concerned, TB. subjects
are largely grouped in two cate
gories: Those who refuse 10 take
the doctors opinion that they've
got it, and victims who finally adj
NIT that maybe the doctor was
right and then proceed to expert
ment on their own. The mistaken
man and his friends have not yet
learned that tuberculosis is the
most durable serious chronic dis
ease-if managed intelligently.
1t has long been the practice in
hospitals and sanitariums to teach
patients with tuberculosis to con-
troll cough; that is, not merely to
muZZle nose and mouth while
coughing, but to resist and suppress
the desire to cough. Much of the
coughing of persons i'll of this, as
of other lung and bronchial dis
eases, is unnecessary, unproduc-
tive, and even harmful to the pa
tient. Coughing often becomes a
bad habit, and it is surprising to
many tuberculosis patients how
well they can control the impulse
to cough after little practice and
how much more comfortable they
are when they do avoid needless
coughing. OF course this does not
apply to all chest troubles, nor ev-
en- to all cases of pulmonary tuber-
lculosis, for in some circumstances
vigorous coughing is not only nee
essary but highly beneficial to the
condition in tile chest.
DR.. S. Adolphus knopf, famous as
an authority on tuberculosis, pro-
poses to the medical profession a
novel idea, what he terms a physio-
logical adjuvant in the rest cure of
pulmonary tuberculosis, namely
that the patient breathe much more
slowly than the usual rate of res
ipiration and with the lower chest
and diaphragm only. He made the
first experiments on himself and
was able to reduce his own breath
ing to eight. six and sometimes only
, five inspirations minute without
discomfort, in place of the usual IL
to 20 Inspirations minute. Then he
: suggested it to some of his patients
who readily reduced their respira-
tions from 20 or 80 z minute, fol-
periods of half an hour at a time
several times a day, without dis.
, comfort or harm of any kind and
, as several of them declared, witt
, appreciate benefit.
Every student of tuberculosis
knows" writes >Dr. Knopf, that il
we could put every case of early
tuberculosis at complete rest ant
