I It Is a question for doctors to answer and as has been true since the first two doctors differed about the efficacy of the first herb they are poles apart In their views.

Physicians who speak tho medical and several other straugo languages arc call ing each other bad names about It vThe majority Is shouting "It can't tie done." The minority Is answering, "But It has been done, and whatever has been doriemay be done again." "When persons lose their ground or temper they begin to call "names. The majority of the doc tors have adopted this last resort, The minority, rjold their ground, as Galileo held hlB, though he held It , on bended knees and with lowered eyes. "Crazy," "visionary,:' "foolish enthusiasm," ory the majority. At Baden a little group of German phy slclans.is continuing an experiment with the persistence-of Robert Drueo's spider. Again and again, over and over, the effort has been made Id robo maternity of its terrors, ihe fear . of pain, the . fear of death, the fear of itself. Tho group of physicians and an experienced "nurse In a small hospital ( at, Baden say they have succeeded, that they have Ducceeded not occasionally, but -usually, not twice tir fifteen times, but G,000 times. .Five thousand times they have met the enemy that stallts nboUt tho. bed of a mother, the grim enemy that stretches out gaunt, fleshless arms-for mother and child, torturing one -nodi menacing both, and have conquered lilm".'

Etiquette of Summer Visits J j est argument and a very good one It Is. that human life Is su precious a thing that a physician, bound by his Escalaplan oath, dares not gamble with It. "It was tried In our city hospitals and wo gave It up because tho risk to tho mother we thought too great," explained a New York authority. Said one who had watched the same attempts: "There was no danger to the mother, but we lost some children.", 'I will not criticise what I have not Been." This was the most liberal vole In the chorus. "But I have known cases of motherhood without suffering, a very few. They were caused by equal parts of sedatives and of autosuggestion." A physician who had visited the Frei burg hospital and for days had watched tho work of tho "crazy enthusiasts," said: "But Gcopolamtn Is a poison. We Indue . 1 1 1 fr I t . 1 ......

KllAXK LKAllXKl). At this season, when hospitality Is con stantly offered to friends by those who have country houses. It Is well to re member certain things which make a. guest welcome and which leave an Im pression on a hostess that It has been a pleasure and not a task to have had that friend under her roof. When Invited to make a visit In k friend's hbuse, whether for two days or two weeks, the first thing to be consid ered Is that tho hostess has definite claims cm any one who Is bidden to her house. The law of courtesy requires that an Invitation should be answered promptly. If obliged to send a regret there should be no hint that one would be glad to ac cept at some other time. 4 A guest's duty Is to arrive on tho dny and at the hour named for tho visit. It Is Inexcusable to mlm the train men tioned by the hostess, -who will herself, no doubt, bo at the station to meet the expected guest, or will send some one as nother to forget her pain, but'' enables nr.to use'hpr will "and muscular power. "It was Very hard to do, but Ve haYc jnoi lt,"s say the' little band. "It took a but we long 'time and great patience, have won-" A preliminary injection of opium, and subsequent Injection of scopotamln. will take 'a mother through the dark way of maternity without pajn and with no agonizing and 'dangerous nervous re action. The ,way of 'the cross for women has ''become a highway of Joy and triumph, so say the halt dozen nurses and doctors and tha devoted nurse at Freiburg. .Enough morphine is Injected . into the body, arm or any 6ther portion of the body tho. physician may deem best to cause the patient to become drowsy. Thereafter, every hour or two hours, as needed, there arc Injections ot scopota mln. Physicians and nurses are - con stantly present to watch and test the suc ceeding states of the patient. The test of when the patient Is ready for her of deal Is a test of the memory. Is she nearly enough asleep to forget pain the instant it has passed? A physi cian holds up two fingers. "How many fingers do you see?" he aeks. If sho answers "two" her senses are too acute. She has not passed Into the twilight slate of semi-sleep. More frequent injections of the scopolamln follow. lie holds up two fingers again. "How many fingers do you see?' he asks. "One," she replies in a distant, drowsy voice. But her eyes are open. She Is able to move about. Her will is strong and active. The delicate balance between Igss of memory and control of will and .muscular power has been reached. The fmoment has arrived. That Is tho secret, ' a-simple one and elmplytold by the phy sicians of Baden. ."But," say the objectors, and their name is "legion and, In some Instances, distinction, "they don't say that the scopolamine which is an abstract ot a weed called snake root, sometimes drives a woman crazy.

That there, has been delirium In other eases, where Ihe disturbing spectre of sjxipolamln has never stalked the ob' - lectors do not emphasize.

But Inject I a poison Into tho body and you can do. no more. The poUon Is king for a while. Besides, the German doctors say them selves that the dommtrsohlaf, the twi light sleep, must be given In a. hospital with two doctors and two nurses to watch each case. That puts the matter beyond tho reach of a poor woman. It would bankrupt any but the richest ones. I tell you, It amount to n faith cure." "There will nover be motherhood with out sufferings." says one. "There will be no painless maternity until women return' to the almp'lo out-' door life of the Indian," vows another. "I hive known n' few Instances of the . great socrltlce without .corresponding 1 suffering." said one of the great ob stctrlrlans. "I have known them, but I have not known whv thrv were. I hone ' that some day motherhood will not mean agony. But I 'don't know and I don't know how it can be done." Doctors are heroes and cowards. Heroes In the fight for a patient's life: cowards shivering at the name ot that medical specter, "Professional etiquette." Pledged to help and save humanity, they fear to announce a benlflcent discovery to a suf fering world lest the medical society gib bet them.

In truth, a ! person's own Idea of his food consUmp 'llon Is ruroly correct; also tho kind or fond eaten Is an Important factor. The carbonaceous foods, starches, sweets and rats are all fat producing and a diet made up largoly of these tends to pro duce excess flesh unless It is burned up In energy. To reduce flesh, therefore, It !
