PUBLIC DIETETIC BUREAU.
V
PhrtldftB1* Proposition to Publish
Wise Formulae of Diet.
A public dietetic bureau which shall
publish in the dally papers wise formulae
of diet and physical management
of the human body was suggested
at the American Institute of Ho
tucvpauuv iu icvcuiij u.? i/t>
M. O. Terry, former surgeon general
of New York, says the Chicago Tribune.
He held that such an educative
measure would result In the palliation
or permanent eradication ^ appendicitis
and other diseases which afflict
the public.
. He proposed not that the physicians
should receive a salary, but that they
should unite in a magnanimous enterprise
to donate to the general .welfare
the latest information upon the subject
of dietetics and preventive treatment
which, while it might lessen the
necessity for the profession of medicine,
would rid the world of much pain
and suffering.
"Just in proportion as the people are
educated to give time and attention
to themselves so that the machinery
of the body will perform its duties
without the assistance of the various
medicines so generally in use, just so
sure will appendical difficulties decrease
in number until they will be
brought to the attention or tne pnysicians
and the surgeon as only an occasional
malady. The medical profession
Is too humane and too advanced
in higher education to encourage ignorance,
but must take the position of
instructors, which, we admit, might
be unwise from a mercenary standpoint,
yet a physician's duty to himself
and to the public and the responsibilities
of his calling would seem to
demand a personal sacrifice for the
philanthropic end in view.
"Finally, how best can this education
be carried on? By unity of effort
on the part of the profession?a bureau
elected for thVt purpose composed of
men especially gifted in dietetics who
should formulate a system of diet and
management of our bodily structures.
This could be given to the press as
coming from this organization and as
representing the most recent thought
on the subject"
Dr. Terry also paid attention to the
"appendicitis craze," declaring that in
many cases where operations were performed
a short vacation or a series of
morning walks would have prevented
the serious turn taken by the disease.
He said that appendectomy was
wrongly becoming a synonym for surgery,
and quoted Dr. Osier's statement,
"Pain in the stomach nowadays is always
appendicitis and is recognized
by the physician's wife over the telephone."
;. SCHOOL ENVIED OF NATIONS
Applications From All Over the
World at Carnearie Institution.
No fewer than 7,200 applications for
enrollment as scholars have already
been received by the trustees of the
new Carnegie Technical school at
Pittsburg, which will not be opened
for three months, says a special dispatch
from Pittsburg to the New York
Times.
Every country in the civilised world
) Is represented. There are applications
i from all parts of Europe, all the South
American countries and from Asia.
France and Germany, however, head
the list, more than half of the applicants
being from those countries. Japan
and Russia are also well represented.
The Filipinos appear to be
particularly anxious to enter the school,
a large number of the letters being
from inhabitants or tne islands, in
addition to the letters from individuals,
application has been made by William
Sutherland, representing the commission
which proposes to bring Filipino
children to the United States for
education, for admission of twenty
pupils.
The trustees of the institution have
decided to care first for applicants
from Pittsburg and western Pennsylvania,
then from other states in the
United States, nest from the Philippines,
Cuba and Porto Rico, and afterward
from the foreign countries..
Most of the letters received are from
persons between the ages of twentyone
and twenty-sir years, who desire
to go to Pittsburg and complete their
education.
He Finds Automobile* In tbe Bible.
44 The chariots shall race in the
streets; they shall Jostle one against
another in the broad ways; they shall
seem like torches; they shall run like
the lightnings.' This utterance of Nahmn,
chapter ii, verse 4, was the Biblical
prophecy of the modern automobile,"
recently declared the Rev. G. I*.
Morrill in1 a sermon at St Paul, directed
exclusively, says the Indianapolis
News, to reckless chauffeurs.
Tribute to John Ear.
Fallen like an eagle from his scaur?
From yon clear Helmut none aarea to
soil!?
Beats on that noble heart no more
Above the warfare and the spoil?
The poet-statesman's, In whose thought
Self had no place since first he shared
The work his boyhood's chieftain wrought,
The faith which life nor substance
spared?
* There are who serve their country well.
Yet stoop to crave her light acclaims
His patriot pulses leapt and fell
Nor asked the glory of a name
Love, honor, rose,to him indeed
As vapors toward the sunlit sky.
But his the generous heart, at need,
Without a pang to put them by.
Even so. a white star oo his crest
We knew him in his stainless youth;
Even so?naught else than loyalest?
The world his manhood learned In sooth
And If there be?and if there be
A realm where lives still forward roll,
Even ^o?no other?strong and free
Through time and space shine on, dear

A. M. DAVIES OGDEN
G'Pyrioht, 1905, by A. M. Davies OQdcn j
fe 1 ' 1 -a (
Xuree Humphreys was hardly what ]
would be termed popular. Tall, hand- \
lome, In a dark, cold type of beauty, <
Ihe was much admired, and the doctors ;
all respected her clear, keen intelligence
and executive ability. But the ;
Datients regarded her with evident <
litre. No one urged her to come and sit
for a moment by his bedside.
Nurse Humphreys herself regarded j
the patients as so many human machines
to be tended and cared for.
It teas her Fork to superintend the do- ing
of this. What more could be re- <
quired of her? And then one day a ]
tender, helpless little morsel of a child ;
was carried into the ward, 'and Miss ]
Humphreys experienced a strange seu- <
sation. The blue eyes looked appeal- I
ingly into hers; the thin little arms
were extended. "Molly lonesome,*'
murmured a baby voice. And Miss
Humphreys, rather shamefacedly, bent 1
and kissed the tiny face. i
From that day a new life began for
the nurse. All the pent up tenderness
of years, all the starved affection of
the woman's heart, sternly repressedfor
so long, were unstintedly lavished
upon the child. It was a bad case.
Miss Humphreys flung herself with
tireless energy into the battle with
death. Molly could not die; she must
not die. And love won. The fatal crisis
wa3 passed; the little life began to
tighten Its hold on existence. Miss
Humphreys rejoiced until one day
came a sudden, most unwelcome
thought Moiiy was out 01 uuugtrr,
Molly was growing well; Molly would
soon leave the hospital and go home.
Miss Humphreys started and tried to
banish the thought. But it would not
go. It pursued her, obsessed her, bedtime
a nightmare.
Outside the big ward was a small
room where Miss Humphreys sometimes
sat. Late one afternoon she
was there, still haunted by the thought
of Molly's departure. It seemed terribly
near. How could she let Molly
go back to that aunt?that narrow
faced, hard eyed woman?from whom
the child palpably shrank upon the occasions
of her rare visits? Was she
unkind to the little thing? Miss Humphreys
wondered.
A sudden sense of discouragement
possessed the nurse. * Molly was nearly
convalescent yet to the doctor Miss
Humphreys had dilated at length upon
unfavorable symptoms, inherent weaknesses,
and this morning, this very
morning, she bad deliberately altered
the temperature bne on the patient's
chart That was unpardonable. She
had fancied that the doctor bad looked
at her rather oddly as be returned the
chart Did he suspect anything? Must
she let her go?this child with Tom's
name and with Tom's own blue eyes?
Where had Molly found them? The
aunt a dry, uncommunicative person,
only said that the child's mother was
dead. Molly babbled of a daddy almost
always from home. The idea had
once flashed across Miss Humphreys'
mind that Tom himself might be this
daddy, hut she had dismissed the'suggestion
as too improbable. There were
doubtless thousands of Brennans.
It brought the man to her mind, however.
Tom! Where coukf he be? He
had loved her once. Why had she let
him go? Miss Humphreys looked about
the plain little room, ^thought of the
ward beyond. She had sent Tom away,
had left her home, come to New York |
and entered the training school,
worked, denied herself, suffered, inspired,
sustained by no ignoble ambition.
Well, she had succeeded. She had 1
, achieved her goal. Was she not head
nurse in this busy hospital ward? '
Again her eyes traveled around the
dreary little room. Was this then
what her ambition meant, a solitary
woman growing old alone? Miss
Humphreys, tired and depressed, knew
that she was morbid; sought to shake
it off, but the feeling was too strong
for her. The reaction from the years i
of effort had set in, and all at once a 1
wave of heartsickness seemed to sub- 1
merge her in its depths, forcing the
unaccustomed tears to her dark eyes.
Miss Humphreys uttered a little sob. '
Was what she had won worth the
sacrifices demanded? Did life hold no
more than this?
The sound of voices outside the door 1
roused her. The doctor was speaking. j
"So I thought it best to send for you J
yourself and explain matters," he was
Billing., one is uue ul uur uwi uuiscs
and hafe worked night and day to save
your child. Indeed, that the child lived
at all is largely.due to her untiring vigilance.
But there is no reason y now 1
why Molly should not leave the hospi- '
tal. It sometimes happens, however,
that a nurse takes a fancy to a patient
and tries to keep him overtime. There- 1
fore I preferred that you yourself
should come and remove Molly. I
would not wish to hurt Miss Hum- 1
phreys' feelings," he added kindly, for
he was a humane man and could sym- J
pathize with the dullness of the nurse's '
life. "We all think so much of Miss 1
Humphreys."
"Miss Humphreys," repeated the man. <
Ana ai uie voice uie wumau numcu and
clasped her hands over her heart 1
"Miss Humphreys, you say? Could?
could I see her?"
The doctor considered a moment "I 1
hardly think that she Is on duty now,"
he said slowly. "Oh," with a sudden ]
recollection, "she often sits In that lit- 1
tie room. -Possibly she may be there 1
now."
As Breanan entered sbe sprang up, I
facing him, and for a moment they <
both stared In silence, the* woman
struggling to control her uncertain
breathing. '
The man started forward. "Margaret
P he cried. Miss Humphreys nodtied.
"Yes, It is I." she answered, trying
to speak in a commonplace manner. "I
belong to this hospital." But he did
oot seem to hear her.
"Margaret, oh, Margaret!" he repeat
ed below bis breath. She was far more
lovely than he had ever seen her, with
that new, softened expression, the teardrops
still clinging to. her long black
lashes. She lifted her head.
"So you have come to take Molly away,"
she said simply. The man started.
He had quite forgotten the child.
"Why^-she cannot stay here?the doctor
says that she is well," he stammered
confusedly. "He said"? i
"Yes, I know," responded Miss Humphreys.
"She is quite well." She
was staring straight ahead, her dark
eyes filled with a blank, unseeing look.
He would go away again. Molly would
go away- What wafe there left for
her? The doctor knew what she had
done. She might have to leave the 1
hospital. But she did not care about (
that Brennan took a step forward. (
"Margaret" he cried; "oh, Margaret t
why did you send me' from you?" i
There was a whole lifetime of pain
and yearning in the man's voi^e and
Miss Humphreys' heart gave a sudden i
throb. He had not entirely forgotten <
her then. The image of that other j
woman had not entirely obliterated her
own.
"I?I don't know," she faltered, feet
ing like a silly schoolgirl. Her usual
calm self possession was gone. The
doctors would not have recognized
their cool, capable nurse.
"You?don't?know?' echoed Brennan.
A sudden well known gleam
sprang to the blue eyes. "You?don't?
know," he repeated. "Then?might
there be a chance for me after all?"
he asked squarely. Miss Humphreys,
sobbing, had sunk into a chair. The
man bent over and with soft fingers
reverently touched the shining hair. (
"I?I loved my wife," he said loyal- ]
ly. "She was a dear,, sweet soul. But ,
you were my first love and I could ]
never, quite forget. You have saved 1
Molly for me," he added unsteadily, <
"but she needs you still?we both need
you. Won't you come and make us
happy, sweetheart?" a sudden intensity
deepening the strong voice.
"Won't you, dear?"
And Miss Humphreys whispered
"Voa"
Not Quite the Same.'
A country clergyman vouches for the truth
of this story. Having arrived at
that point in the baptismal service
where the infant's name is conferred, <
he said:
"Name this child."
"Original Story," said the sponsornurse.
"What do you say?" he asked in'surprise.
"Original Story," she repeated in
clear, deliberate tones.
"Ifs a very odd name, isn't it? Are
you sure you want him called by the
name of Original Story?"
"Original Story?that's right," she declared.
"Is it a family name?" the ministeP
persisted.
"Named after his uncle, sir," explained
the nurse, getting red in the
face.
And so as Original Story the unoffending
little fellow was christened. It
was some weeks after this event that
the minister made the acquaintance of
the said uncle?a farm laborer In another
village?whose name was Reginald
Story.?Liverpool Mercury.

foot forward not only for herself, bnt

"How's Mary Ellen getting on?' asked
one of the neighbors when Mrs. Austin
returned from a visit to the house
of a former resident of Bushby.
She fixed a keen gaze on Mrs. Austin,
for rumors of Mary Ellen's domestic
troubles had reached Bushby some
time before.
"Why, she's got everything fixed up '
real nice," said Mrs. Austin slowly.
"She has a good house and yard and a
garden and a most excellent cow and
some o' the likeliest hens and a couple |
o' pigs and"?
"Is it true that her husband has reg'lar
temper tantrums every little while?" J
persisted the neighbor, who had small ]
patience with Mrs. Austin's point of I
view.
"Well, well," said Mrs. Austin, with
some discomposure, "I don't see any
aeed of dwelling on that. When folks
have a good deal of live stock some o'
the critters is liable to be ailing now
and then."

A certain Sctoch minister is wont
to relate how, having been out all day
visiting, he called on an old dame
well known for her kindness and hos- (
pitality.
After some conversation she began .
getting out her best china and whatever
delicacies were at hand to honor
tier unexpected guest As he sat
watching the preparations his eye suddenly
fell on four or five cats devouring
some cold porridge under the ]
table. ^ {
"Dear me, Miss Black," he observed, 1
"what a number of cats! Do they all 1

"Na, na, sir," was the innocent re- <

Then the good woman bethought her,
