Some people are frightened into a nervous collapse by some one scaring them suddenly. The receipt of bad news has been known to turn a per- son gray overnight. Fear is best dis- pelled by investigating the mystery of the thing feared, which then becomes quite simple and ordinary. (Copyright. 1026 BY THORNTON W.

There he showed me some of his records per taining to health work, particutarl: records of veriodic health examin: tions, and, as always, he taught m some practical things about that fie'd of work, He had a considerable number of records in which the ex- amination had disclosed evidence of inclpient arterfosclerosts, such high blood pressure, urinary casts or functional impairments; these in dividuals he had advised about the regulation of their lives, their eating drinking, smoking, exercise, work play, occupation: and some of them had heeded the advice and their sub sequent tests told how well their heeding had paid; some had ignored the advice, and to follow their prog s by preceptor had to refer i his_case records. reverting to the mail orde: suppose all these clients of my preceptor had preferred firc works with their health examinations. the enchantment of distance and all that.

In the course of a recent conversi- tion my first and finest medical teacher, my preceptor. who, lixe Miyo and MacKenzie, is a country doctor, told me how he had canvassed the merchants of the village for cor- tributions of money, materials or services for the erection of w,log cabin for the Bov Scouts, and how every one of them dug down for a cash contribution, or s a load of stone for the fireplace, or a concrete mixer, or 4 crew of workmen—but the mammoth mail order concern, which had drawn many an order out of the village, coutributed not so much as bunch of e lor to light the fire with. This peculiarity my preceptor was at pains to point out to certain of his patients who had the habit and perhups a Scout or two in the family. In the old days, you see, the medi- cal student w; equired to have a preceptor, that a physician in practice who would take the student into his office-und help him in his studies.

Gray-haired, long since retired, Willis Banks loves most of all to tell of the long picturesque years when he was head- waiter at the old Maxwell House in Nash- ville. Beaux and belles, soldicrs and states- men, gencrals and presidents—they all came to be welcomed by him. At the old Maxwell House, Willis Banks met and knew three Presidents of the United States. And there he served them the food and the coffee which had made it the most famous hotel in all the South. No one who tasted this coffee could ever forger it “‘One of my greatest pleasures,” says Banks, *‘was to hear the praise from our guests for our dishes, especially for our coffee.” For many years at the Maxwell House it was the coffee which remained as the most vivid memory of its departing guests.” A special blend was served there so rich, so mellow that they could noc forget it. Soon this coffeec was known and uscd throughout all the South. In distant states those who had tasted it or heard of it, secured it for their own tables. Today this same blend of fine coffec. with all its rare goodness, is on sale in scaled tins in every section of the United States. Itis today America’s largest scll- ing high grade coffce. In a long list of leading cities it is the first choice above all other blends. And the same firm of coffee merchants who perfected it years ago, still blend and roast it today. The rich fragrance, the smooth, full flavor of this same, wonderful blend are now offered to your family. Until you first taste it, you cannot realize why ic has become so celebrated.
