We have a reputation to sustain.” Said Doctor Grimly: “That fellow’s relatives were undoubtedly to blame. They brought him up here by ad- vice of the New York doctors, and when they found that Saranac couldn’t do for him all that is claimed, they still wanted him to stay because he was too weak to move. | They wanted his last hours made as com- fortable as possible, they said, with tears in their ey And this, after all we did for them! What a mistaken sense of duty to the medical profession! I haven't had a funeral make me so mad in a long time.” Said Doctor Pounder: “This is disgraceful. I was away on a acation or jt wouldn't have happened. The town ought to be patrolled to prevent such a thing from occurring again. Suppose this thing should become frequent—think of how it would hurt business! It certainly isn’t a part of the treatment to let anyone die in the town limits.” “What is your treatment?” he was aske: “Very simple. When a new patient comes to town we ascertain how long he will last —also his pocketbook—and we aim to keep him with us until all hope is lost. Then we advise him to seek some other climate. Our death rate is sacred to us.” “What else do you do for him?” “Nothing but make him take the air.” “Don't you limit his diet to the things he ought to eat?” “Good Heavens, no! Our pastrymen must live as well as our milkmen.” Doctor Tester was more optimistic. He said: “This may be a good thing for Saranac after all. It will teach people in the last stages not to look to us for comfort or cour. tesy. Saranac wants robust invalids who could get well anywhere, with plenty of cash, to come up here and sustain our repu- tation.

Much depends upon the method. Some- | times, just when you have taught a your girl how to swim, she forgets all about it ani has to learn all over again. As your vaca tion is now drawing to a close, and the chances are that some other fellow will be engaged to do the job, it is superfluous to point out how necessary it is to be thorough Select for your purpose a beautiful young girl of confiding nature, between sweet six- teen and sweet twenty. Everything up to twenty is sweet. From then up to twenty eight is sweeter, and a girl's age doesn't begin to taper off naturally until often thirty. Indeed, PRESIDENT SUSPENDERS S°so8) gh ANY Si A.
