 DEMANDS CAUTION

Editors Note: Ever increasing knowledge of physiology and the conditions under which most of us live today are combing to make new demands upon us in the care of our ghealth. This is the third of a series Of siN<,rticles on "The Physiological Life" Tomorrow: Stmulants and Drugs.
 By Dr. Morris FishbeiR Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,

 The third thesis of Professor A. J. Carlson's analysis of the physio- logical life is as follows:
 As consequence of the industrial developments and growth of cities, a large population of men today are more crowded, more subject to polluted air, polluted drunking wa ter and industrial poisoning than our ancestors.
 investigations made by scientists all over the world indicate definite lv that the packing of human beings together in proximity in such places as halls, motion picture palaces, Of flee buildings and kitchenet apart those diseases that are passed from man to man.

 Ut is necessary to develop meth ods for the prevention particularly of the diseases that attack the nose. sinuses, the throat and the lungs, since these respiratory diseases par ticularly are passed from one human being to another.
 ;'it is necessary by preventive in- oculaton to protect man against diseases associated with contaminat- cd food and water and against the germs that are coughed or expelled from the mouth and throat.
 Artificial Aids
 If modern civilization is to be saved, the human being must be en- abled to live in modern civilization under safe conditions. Hence arti- ltCldI HlclnOuS or providing human beings with the things provided by the outdoor life are being developed ill increasing proportions.
 As is pointed out by Dr. Carlson, q continued increase of population means increased growth of cities, in- creased industrial concentration and increased industrial poisoning. The battle for life of the future means increased research 10 meet these new problems.

Dickens Child
 Lives in London
Her Home Is Secluded and
 She Sees Few.

London R) -- Almost forgotten by the world, Mrs. Kate Perugini. SS lives secluded in her Chelsea home dreaming of the verses she would like to write eff she were not the daughter of Charles Dickens" For Kate Dickens has always wanted to write and her friends as- sert that she has a fine literary style of her own. but she has re- trained because she feels that "a daughter ought rot attempt to fol- low in the footsteps. of such a father"
 A sweet faced, silver haired old lady. she still bears traces of the beauty which Millais, Val Prinsep and other artist friends have DOT trayed on canvas.
 | She is herself an artist and not cd for her portraiture of children, but she now refuses to be photo graphed or paipted. AS girl she 1 wished to go on the stage and was offered an engagement. Her
 father was against it And advised l her to go on with her painting. | While in her teens she married an artist named Collins and under his
 guidance pursued her studies.
 After his death, she married the
 late c. F. Perugini. also an artist.
 Their house is full of relics of
 Dickens. At the entrance of Mrs. Peruginis studio stands the his-
 toric table which her father used
 when giving readings and which l he took with him on his American | tour. He could not read. he said, unless he had that table before i him.
 I highly valued picture shows 1 three angel heads Dickens was : Peruglni recalls how on one day | he came home with picture on l the top of a cab, had it carried up | to the room of herself and her sis- ter and there hung it, saying.
 there is something beautiful to be always before your eyes" When Dickens suffered from fits
 of gloom and depression, Kate
 would attempt 10 solace him. She l relates a curious premOnitiOn
 which occurred before his death.
 She and her Sister had left "Gads- | hill" the Dickens home, to go on
 q visit to London. At the railway

 'I must go back and speak to father again"
 When she reached the house she l found him pacing the room in dis ] tress. At sight of her, he bright
