OMAHA, TUESDAY Three Answers Drawn for The Bee by Hal Coffman. Dr. Trudeau’s Eternal Monument By JANE M'LEAN. What is lifé? The minstrel plays it On a reed of sweetest strain “Life is song, that wakes to music Joy or grief or depths of pain Nature trills it in her bird calls, Croons it in'her tunefnl rain." What if life?. The mystic sees it In his crystal: “Life is fate | ] Lurking just around the corner, | Coming early, coming late. Laws are fixed and fate is changeless; . Watch the stars and dream and walit.” What is life? The man who lived it Gives his answer, and he saith: “lLife is love, a hand that beckons Through the dusk, a long drawn breath And a kiss whose warmth we carry Lingering with us into death.” | The Bargain Counter of Life Part T1.

But he was the great ex- { emplifier, the only man that had the courage of hin convictions on a large scale, When skeptics scouted our revolution ary idea that cold alr could possibly be good for lung trouble, we pointed to the | north woods and said: “But look what results Trudeau s getting.” When he first went up into the Adiron- duacks to try the open air as the last des- perate chance for his own life, there was not a single sanatorfum or institution in | the country for the open-air cure of con- sumption. | At hin death, thirty years later, there were 676 of such sanitoriums and hospl | tals, wtih a capacity of 3,000 beds, all | more or less frankly modeled after Sara- nuc Lake, bosides 40 dispensaries solely for tuberculosis, with more than 1,00 physiclans and over 4000 nurses devoted wholly to the treatment and cure of the disease along open-air lines.
