PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. d.

Every individual who processes to be
philanthropic ought to insert In his will,
If necessary, specific clause asking
that an autopsy be made If the physi-
clan deems it desirable. What the doc
tors may learn from such investigation
cannot do the decedent any good, but
then people do not make wills for their
own benefit. Here it will occur to the
shallow that doctors generally bury their
mistakes as quickly as possible. II there
is any truth in that, the general custom
of providing in the will for the autopsy
would discourage the practice. Indeed,
! believe it would bring to light good
deal of crime that now is hidden by
that solemn and sometimes questionable
instrument. the death certificate. Even
an alert and competent physician must
have pretty tangible evidence before he
will venture to raise question where
there is any doubt In his mind about the
alleged cause of death. II there were a
routine, disinterested examination by
a properly constituted authority In
every instance, this natural reluctance
81 the physician to raise question
would not matter.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

There is no accurate way in which
a mother can recognize a real illness
or a temporary indisposition except
by the height and constancy of the
child'S temperature: It is impossible
for mothers to know If child has a
temperature even as high as 104 by
merely feeling his forehead; the one
safe index of his condition is to take
his temperature"
clinical thermometer and every mother

Taking temperatures can be over
done. To take child's temperature
every day Is silly and useless. The
jumps Of temperature for insignificant
causes would keep mother in hot
water all the time. But If a child is

symptoms and then the height and
duration of his fever will dictate the

But how to read 1t. Take the ther-
silver line right between a row Of fig
ures below and scale of points above.
Roll the thermometer back and forth
until you can see this.
Then notice near what long line the
silver mercury has stopped and look
directly below to find the large figure
that represents the long line. All long
lines are marked from "a to ITO except
SO, which Is filled in with an angle
marking 1895, the normal temperature.
The small lines are fifths, so that one
reads the nearest large figure and adds
the fifths up to the point at which the
mercury has stopped.
To take the temperature, first wash
thermometer with cold water. Shake it
down to below the point mark 97 Then
insert the full mercury bulb Hold it
for at least two minutes. Then read

Text: mo man, having put his hand

Nor is he fit for any other kingdom
this man, "having put his hand to the
plough and looking back" Nor will
he ever possess any kingdom. The men
who win kingdoms are the men who
know what they are after and keep
after it till they get it.
There may be times when one feels
that he is at the end Of his row. that
he cannot go on any further. Most of
us sometimes feel that way. We get
into difficult places, everything seems
to go badly with us and we begin to
think that we might as well give up
and turn back. But that is just the
time to hold on. Remember, It is dark
est Just before dawn. Just when your
wav seems the darkest and most for
bidding, you may be within one step OF
victory.
For those who are discouraged and
disposed to give up. Harriet Beecher
Stowe has this word: when you get
into a tight place and everything goes
against you, till 1t seems as though you
could not hold on minute longer
never give up then. for that is lust the
place and time that the tide will turn"
Certainly 1t is no reason for one to
give up and Quit simply because he
gets into tight place or because he
finds his way hard and hazardous.
Anybody can quit, any one give up, but
strong and brave men never do. Any
body can resign. but real men are not
the resigning kind. Anybody can go
back, but back-tracking never got any
one anywhere. Having put your hand

Rutherford B. Hayes was President

took up his post in the rotunda of the
Capitol Building. That was so years
ago. Since that time Capt. Cady has
conducted untold thousands of people
through the many interesting corridors
and chambers of this structure.
To sit and talk with Capt Cady is to
obtain an unforgetable picture of the
great events and outstanding figures in
the last half-century of Americas ma

at close range during this 5o-year
period, and talks Of them with as

three quarters of the population enter
adult life with some sort of acquired
foot trouble Among girls this weak
ness is largely due to wearing the wrong

the feet so that they cannot correctly
