outlets have succeeded in educwt-
their ,clientele to have a dental
attribution every six months
w ether they know there is. trouflu
or: not. We have our watches exam-
d and our automobiles gone over
pafiodicdily. It is equally good sense
tql have i. physical examination by
a physician at stated intervals so
‘tliat one may avoid disease. Much
publicity has. been given lately to
the arrangement made by the Presi-
dent of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works with his personal physician.
He pays his doctor so much a year
to keep him well. If the patient is
ill the doctor losses his pay. it is
needless to say the physician will
keep pretty close tab on that sort of
5 patient.
The College of Surgeons Secretary
aiho favored doing aWay with the
mystery with which (“sense and its
t eatmeat had in the past been sur-
r undcd. According to Dr. Martin
the principles of scientific medicine
can be put in every day language.
and this should be done. He algued
for a populpr magazine whose sole
purpose should be to educate the
pdblio concerning the fundamental
principles of medical practice. As
matters now stand there is always
ne‘Vspaper publicity regarding any
new or remarkable curative agent.
The trouble is it often lack scienti-
fic expression. with the result that
the public is misled. A recenl illus-
tration of this is the insulin treat-
’lnent for diabetes. the public getting
.the erroneous idea tha’ihis is a
'cure. whereas it is only relief. True
reeling of Dr. Martin is that if the
rofesslon lakes the public into its
onfldenee in regard to disease and
its scientific treatment it will be the
ghost way to offset the extravagant
!' fblaims of quacks and “isms" that
‘ e tflday prying upon the public.

ILAnother feature of the Hospital
Cilcck Diseases that Prove Fatal in Later
Stages, Surgeons Agree—Ethylene as an
of Entire N atfbn and
I
Convention was an address by Dr.
Arno B. Luckhardt. professor of
physiology. University of Chicago.
upon Ethylene. the new anaesthetic.
Dr. Luckhardt was the discoverer of
the anaesthetic qualities of ethy-
lene. and the story of the discovery
is very interesting. Wisconsin carna-
tion growers who sent their f owers
to the Chicago market were suffer-
ing great losses because their carna-
lions so soon wilted and died after
being put on the market. They put
their problem up to the Univ :lsily of
Chicago. Dr. Luckhardt soon discov-
ered it was the presence of ethylene
in small proportions in illuminating
gas that put the flowers to sleep.
'i'his suggested the possible use of
ethylene as an anaesthetic. and Dr.
Luckhardt conducted a series oi cx~
periments’on mice. rates. uinca
pigs, rabbits. kittens and dogs. Ho
then anaesthetised his assistant.
Mr. J. 15. Carter 8. student in Rush
Medical College. and Mr. Carter an-
aesthe d Dr. Luckhardt. After
further'expcrimenis on a volunteer
Squad of ten persons, the new an-
aesthetic begun to be used in the
operating rooms of the Presbyterian
Hospital of Chicago. March 14. 1923.
Since that time they have used it 'n
about a. thousand cases with only
thcbest results.
Dr. Luckhardt claims that it is so
superior to nitrous oxide that it is
destined to supplant the latler. The
patient succumbs after two or three
lllllalatious. and recovery is elually
rapid. After the longest operations.
consciousness is restored in' from
three to live minutes. The patient
does not have much time o divulge
secrets or any experiences of his
past life. For this reason some have
called it the "silent gas". Othq
good features of ethylene are very
little nausea. never enough to inter-
i'erc with the next meal. and an ex-
tremely low percentage of gas pains.
Dr. Berg, anaesthetist in the lhous-
and cases at the Presbyterian Hospi-
tal.declares it to 'be safe if one
knows how to use it. She advises
cVL‘ry one to go slowly. how'evcr, in
.ryillg the new anaesthetic. One in-
stitution was cited as rushing in to
use it, with the result of l‘cath in
the eighteenth case. All of which
goes to support the well estab'ishdd
position that anaesthesia is a feature
of surgical procedure that always
calls for grcdtest caution ..n.l ade-
quate training.
The ail-er Convention of the Am-
erican Hospital Association it Mll-
waukce was a revelation of the mag-
nitude and far~reaclling influence
of hospital service. The Association
begun with eight superintendents
meeting twenty five years ago and
now draws together about three
thousand people from all parts of
Canada nnd.tlle lfnlted Suites. The
commercial exhibits held in ronnec-
tion with the conference assemble
every piece of physical equipment at
any time required by a hospital.
while the non- commercml exhibits
feature the social and educational
side of the work. A hospital is no
longer a place where one goes for
surgical operations alone. but fln
l:.l titution which provides every con-
ceivable service for the recovery of
the sick. In its out-patient depart-
ment. 3 modern hospital renders a
social and educational service of
tremendous value to the community.

In the Norwalk Methodist Church
at 7:30 tomorrow evening the Nor-
walk Church Orchestra. nildor the
direction of Clarence Cable. will be-
gin lts fourth season.
Since the close of last season Mr.
Cable has been working upon the
problem of securing more good
players for the orchestra so that
the music lovers of Norwalk might
have the very best in orchestral mu-
sic. After several experiments that
did not prove altogether successful
he conceived the idea,a.montll ago
of raising enough money to pay the
expenses of some out-of-tow‘n play-
ers to strengthen those sections of
the orchestra that were Weakest.
The local members of the orchestra
were unanimous in their approval
of the plan; and Mr. Cable imme-
diately set out to raise the money.
VV'lth the help of a few members of
the orchestra. particularly Miss An-
na E. Smith, and wit the generous
assistance of Mrs. cod Haviiand.
he has raised considerably over half
of the necessary amount. Among the
contributors was Charles Harris, the
glass manufacturer of Norwalk. well
known for his keen interest in such
imatters. Manice Lockwood. too. has
shown a marked interest in the or-
chestr and has made a substantial
donut n.‘
Mr. Cable has secured four play-
ers from New Canaan. These play-
ers consisted of two first violinists.
one violen player and one French
horn plpyer.

Cable‘s need he volunteered' to
rile up to Norwalk for this occas-
n. He expressed an intense desire
to hear the Norwalk orchestra and
to share'in getting it started in its
larger work.
\Vhen he was advised of Mr. Cs.-
ble‘s need of a contrabass player he
secured the services of Mr. Wie-
mann. one of the instructors in the
American Orchestral Society/x. When
Mr. Welmann came from Berlin a
few months ago. where he had been

Her Innocent of All
Cll'arges .
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—
Mrs Helen Elwood Stokes yes-
terday won her bitter five-year
fight against “7. E. D. Stokes in
the second trial of his spectacu-
lar divfircegcasc.
At 5 0-5 p. m., the jury that
for four weeks had listened to
the teslmony of the aged with-
cred litigant’ s witnesses, .s'eek-
ing to establish that she had
been guilty with Edgar T. We]
lace, returned its verdict, finding
her innocent.
In pronouncing it the jurors like-
wise acquitted her on the fifteen
other points raised by her seventy»
three-year-old husband. These
charged her with misconduct at
other places than “'aliace's E‘s!
Thirty-fifth street apartment. and
with other men. among them. Hal
Billings and Will H. Meyers.
Tears Come At Lash ‘
Mrs. Stokes. who had been so
tenacious and as watchful as a lig-
rese through the long stuggle.
yielded to her femininity when she
heard the verdict.
Tears were streaming down her
face. and her mouth was twisted in-
to an unsteady little smile when she
approached the jury box and sh’ook
the hand of every man in it.
Stokes. with the’coliar of his brown
overcoat turned up above his ears,
sat. a solitary figure. at the distant
end of his counsel table. ‘
The curious tightening smile that
had fastened about his lips in Max
D. Steuer's argument in his behalf
had vanished.
The expectant light that had
flared up through his dull eyes in
Justice Mahoney's charge to the jury
had been snuffed out.
All His Color-«Gone.
He simply sat there alone and
motionless. With his big form half
sprawled across the table and all the
ooier gone from his face and his
hands.
Mrs. smile- did not look. at him.“
From the jury she rushed to also:
her mother and shake the hands of
Samuel Untermyer and Isadore
Shapiro. her herd-working counsel.
Then she mounted the dials. and
thanked Justice Mahoney for his
conduct of the trial.
When 'the courtroom was als‘st
emptied Mrs. Stokes sank into a
chair. buried her face into her
hands. and gave way to weeping.
Her small. trial figure trembled. and
she sobbed. scamely audibly. how
"very. very. very tired" she Vms.
Then qultcd. she said; u
"‘I just knew that it could not be
otherwise when I had done nothing
to deserve it. I knew that. some-
how. right must win. But it was so
long. and there were so many things
he might try to do. for he would
stop at nothing."

er girls' families think more of hav-
ing a. good hon. than dancing and
drinking.
