THE FARM WOMAN
IN THESE days when it is the accepted

jeends largely upon the efhclen. y with which

The presence in the city of twenty-five
Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church,

Interest of the Methedlts in the spread of
the Gospel.
The Methodist Church, which grew out
of dissatisfaction with the lack of what is
called the evangelical spirit of the Church
of England in the eighteenth centur, hns

spirit. It has made it its bulne- n fast

The stand her representatives hnvc taken
that dismemberment shall cease, that mo
nopolies shall he given up, and that foreign
spheres of influence shnll be done away has
such a ring of common justice about It that
the Powers that have been fattenlng en
t nina ter the last fifty years have somewhat
the leek of the Walrus, and the Carpentor,
l nder the guise that the peer, helpless
country could net collect her own pert duties
or protect the foreign legations or trade with
the world, nil the Powers that wanted te
have kept little standing armies in China;
even the United States had a substantial
cluster of soldiers conveniently en hand te
seethe the natives when they turned sullen
with Americans. And wouldn't wc like n
cluster of Chinese soldiers ever here te keep
us seethed when we feel llke hurting a
laundrymnn or two!
ISAM' this statement the ether day :
"China has a population of -100,000,000.
It has 372 mission hospitals, 328 dispen
saries, 207 men nnd 03 women medical mis
sionaries. Its total number of trained phy
sicians come te one doctor for every 1,200,
000 Inhabitants. The United States at this
ratio would have just ninety-two practicing
physician. There are 2."i0.000,000 Chinese
women nnd children in China, and toward
the higher education of these women there
are two women's medical schools nnd two
women's colleges."
I HAVE been told that toward the en
largement of the two women's colleges in
China and the largest of the medical schools,
thnt of I'ckln. n Rockefeller Fund is te be
forthcoming If the general American public
can be cot te double the gift. That is te
say. SI. 000,000 has been offered by the fund
te these three Eastern colleges and te four
ethers scattered through Asia. In India and
Japan, if another $2,000,000 is raised by
the first of the coming year.
Each little group of alumnae and faculty
have therefore prepared brief, readable state
ment of their college work nnd Its results
for the grcnt general public of America. And
these little paper books make very touching
reading. I cannot help feeling that impor
tant as the work of the Washington Confer
i nee muv be toward bringing about peace
and geed will, what I new being done in
thus., colleges nnd schools of medicine Is of
even greater importance te the world.
TTI.HL arc some of the fact. I cannot
-- give them a these who care most have

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS !
Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphians en Subjects They
Knew Best
DR. J. BLAIR SPENCER
On Tuberculosis Prevention
IN THE science of industrial hygiene,
nothing else has u place quite fe impor
tant as the problem of tuberculosis preven
tion, for tuberculosis i the most potent
menace te the health of workers lu in
dustry. It is from the standpoint of in
dustry that Dr. J. Blair Spencer, vice
president of the Philadelphia Health Coun
cil, discusses the disease today.
"I think," snn Dr. Spencer, "that cm cm
ple.icrs. mere than any ether group, except
perhaps doctors nnd school teachers, are
the best agents for public health. They
have the strongest influence the economic
influence ever the greatest number of per
sons, for men nnd women and children nre
dependent en emplnyu cut, directly or in
directly, for subsistence. Incidentally, the
cmple.ver is depmdent en his machinery ami
his men alike for his profits and the success
of his business.
"The employers then can de much te
force the application of the gospel of a
thorough examliatien of every man, woman
and child at least once every year. They
can at least see that every one in their
cmple.v is submitted te such nn examination
nnd they can, i1 tough the distribution of
advice, make tin in icalize its importance
Itepairlug Human Machinery
"Ne employer is eing te allow a bit
of his machinery te go en operating with
out frequent examinations no cmple.ver is
going te deny repairs te his machine If It
needs them. And no employer if he is
humun- or if he is even merely shrewd
will refuse te inspect and repair his human
machinery. Ne employer will wish a man
te continue at a job that means the ruina
tion of his health.
"I de net mean that the employer should
engage a pli.vsician te examine periodically
the men who wi rk for him although that Is
admirable but that he should insist thut tit i
emple.ves have the poiiedieal examinations
either by their own doctors or at one of the
many tula rcule-is di-pen-aries iu the city.
"This principle should be applied te ether
diseases than tuberculosis, se that unless
there are definite symptoms of pulmonary
disorders It Is well that the examinations
be made b a g ncral practitioner or diag
nostician Wlu-ie the examining pli.vsician
finds tubercular beginnings or where the pa
tient himself bus had the symptoms that arc
mere or less ihtinitely tubercular, It is im
perative that the subject be immediately
examined by a specialist. The Health
Council will until rtake te provide such spe
cialists for iinv one In need of tlum. These
symptoms of which I have spoken nre pretty
well known.
Indexes tn III Health
"Less of weight is chief of them and
weight is the general Index te the condition
of the tubercular patient. The feeling of
weakness, the mental lassitude and muscular
Inertia, the afternoon fevers and night
srtvents In nearly all cases the physician
finding nil these symptoms would be justitie I
In diagnosing tuberculosis, nnd any person
finding them In himself or herbelt should lese
no time in finding n physician or In following
the advice obtained from him.
"It is eas.v, I think, for the public te
understand why r put se much btress en
the90 periodic examinations. Tuberculosis
Is easv te prevent, but difficult if net Im
possible te cure when it has reached the
advanced stages. The preventive, treat
ment, moreover, is simple. It Is based en
three things in the following order of Im Im Im
portanee: rest, nourishment nnd air.
"It is fallacious te suppese that some per-

Each of us is potentially tubercular and if
given the proper milieu will develop the dls

than ethers.
"And mere than this, there is no 'con
genital' tuberculosis. Children arc never
born with tuberculosis and nny child taken
in time can he kept from contracting
tuberculosis through the remainder of Its

parents, ns has been often explained, is that
their resistance is apt te be weaker and that
they are mere or less directly exposed te

HUMANISMS
By TLLIAJI ATHEHTON DU PUY
SECRETARY WEEKS, of the War De
partment, has recently been presiding at
a number of meetings in Washington, nota
bly at the Arlington ceremonies of the Un
known Soldier en Armistice Day, ami at
the laying of the cornerstone of the Wash-
I Ington Victory Memerial, en both of which
occasions he Introduced the President, who
spoke.
Secretary Weeks officiated with case and
grace. His brevity expedited business.
When congratulated upon his perform
ances, he chuckled nnd, declaring him
self the worst of public speakers, related
an cnrly oratorical experience.
He lived in Newton, outside of Bosten,
h" said, when that town ilnnlly decided that
it wanted a business man for Mayer, ami
nominated him. His supporters were n bit
fearful that as a candidate he might net
mnke a strong popular appeal. The next
day after the nomination one of them
staged a meeting for him at the end of the
town, notified him that he must appear, but
warned him. for the sake of the success of
the party, net te try te make a speech, a
nnv tongue-tied Hottentet could out-campaign
him If the Issue were te be decided
by oratory.

Miss Anna Graham, national bead of the
Weman's Christian Temperance Union, sayi
she used te think she knew she knew, but
new she kuews she knows she knows very
little.
Victer Murdock, of the Federnl Trade
Commission, wants te assert that havlnt
learned from a given individual does net
necessarily prove Intimacy with that person.
lie once, In the old days, learned a geed
lessen from a bartender, he snys. This bar
tender, from the fullness of his experience,
stated that if ou were with a crowd of
fellows and there was treating te be dene, it
was the part of wisdom te buy first. It
would get around te you anyway, se you
could net save money by procrastinating.
But when It was all ever the only purchaser
who would be remembered, who would get
lasting credit for liberality in the minds of
tho-e present was the man who bought first.
The same principle can be applied any
where, he says. Everywhere you go people
travel in flecks, if you come te a ganglank,
or are te be baptlzed, or the music is strik
ing up for a one-step, everybody hangs back.
The man who bteps, right out en such
occasions will become the cynosure of all
c.ves. He may be chicken-hearted, a mouth
breather, have broken arches, but he will
travel far.

When Mr. Lasker was out there net Ienj
age Mr. Wrigley asked him if he knew any
thing about Catallna Islands, where they
had glass-bottomed beats and you could see
fishe. and phosphorus and sengardens all

"Arc .veu seeking advice or consolation?
asked Mr Lasker.
"Well," said the champion advertiser, I
