lgCiiij ? +153 the successful saving of life depends upon the intrinsic biological forces by which the body repairs damage and defends itself against disease. Medication is entirely harmful which imposes a load of foreign matter on the system that is of no use in the tissues of the body either as material for growth, to furnish energy, to replace waste or aid the body in its vital functions. The prevalent custom of taking made to sell remedies without knowledge of their com- position or the causes of disarranged functions existing in the body cannot be too strongly discouraged. The more extended use of those methods which keep from entrance into the body, substances that are harmful should be encouraged. As much care should be taken in producing human beings for perfect development, strength and endurance as is taken in raising stock on the farm. It is impossible for each physician to install and use every apparatus that has proved its value in the treat- ment of diseased conditions but the more simple fundamental procedures of physio- therapy should be available in every community. Opportunity for exercise is pro- vided by well equipped gymnasiums and swimming pools connected with high schools or under the direction of civic or philanthropic organizations. The fact that few hospitals made provision for equipment or the employment of technicians or nurses trained in the administration of light, electricity, masage or hydrotherapy and scientific dietetics, made the establishment of sanitariums and treat- ment rooms a necessity. Since the desirability of such methods has been demon- strated and the public is demanding them, the regular hospitals are installing the necessary equipment and employing workers trained in methods of physiotherapy So long as our landscape in June differs from that of January there can be no doubt as to the effects of light, heat and moisture on vital activity, yet how slow we have been to make use of the enormous benefits to be derived from the scientific appli- cation of these remedies. In every advance in the science of the relief of human suffering the nurse has stood with the physician to carry out his directions and hold every inch gained in the battle with the destructive forces of disease. In the rapidly widening appli- cation of the principles of preventive medicine the trained nurse must carry a still greater share of responsibility as factory nurse, school and community nurse. She must be trained to educate the adult as well as the school-age population in the wonderful science of co-operation with the life-giving forces of the natural world. Aside from the service in surgery and medicine so splendidly and efficiently given today by the doctors, nurses, hospitals and sanitariums of our land we must ourselves be better informed and more expert in the application of the life-giving principles of biologic living and practice. Let us study more diligently and delve more deeply into this treasure house of health producing energy that all humanity may benefit thereby. ffnlilixzwd from f'-We 493 Dear classmates, this night brings to us both joy and sadnessg joy, beca11S6 WC have reached the goal for which we have long been striving, and sadness, because of the severing of the ties of long companionship. Somehow, tonight we are nearer together than ever, but the time has come for us to part. As these days, weeks months and years have glided by, we have formed a oneness of purpose and deep affection that time cannot efface.

'Round and About the San Devotional MABEL BLACK ..- HE devotional services of the Sanitarium consist of the morning worship, ew ' , . . , , Q E5 the prayer meeting, Missionary Xolunteer meeting and the Sabbath services. l,Ae . . . The Patients meet each morning in the parlor for their worship, the serviee being conducted by the chaplain. Here our guests who are able to be there meet with the Great Physician and tind rest for their weary souls. Though human effort may at tinies fail to bring about the desired result, God is always abundantly able to supply all our needs. It is at our XVednesday night prayer meeting that we really get close to God. l'Sweet hour of prayer, Sweet hour of prayer, That calls us front a world of care And bids us at our Father's throne Make all our wants and wishes known. Friday evening at 7:15 linds the chapel weli tilled. Every one enioys the Mis- sionary Volunteer meetings, for the ineinliers of this society are live wires and eive good, interesting proerains, Nu elifort is required to keep wide awake here. The Day of all the week the best is the Sabbath day. VVhat a blessed privi- lege it is after the busy cares of the week It: meet for the study of the day's lesson! Here we mingle our voices in song and prayer and our hearts are refreshed as we drink of the living water. Following the Sabbath School is the usual preaching service. Then as the Day is dying in the west, We wend our way to the parlor. There we find the orchestra to add charm to the old hymns we all love. After a short stay here, as we quietly break away, we wonder just what it is that makes those sacred hymns so near and dear to us! I wonder! ls not this the secret?-They lead its to worship at the feet of the Saviour of mankind. X-ray and Laboratory Fiuxk L.

There a large, new machine is waiting and makes possible a hurried examination be- gs, neath the Huoroseope to rind what is broken. The breaks in the bones are plainlv visib'e and accurate repairs are made. Truly, our splendid machine is a sgodsehd to the doctor in enabling him to look in and see the trouble, whether it be fracture, gall-stones, stenosis, dilatation, or ulcers. If there is an outside call or a call to a room, the little portable X-ray is ready to be carried right to the spot. Either machine is outtitted to treat with X-rays, do a Huoroscopie, or take any picture. The tilms are developed in that well-ar- ranged dark room just oft' from the waiting room and office. These four conipaetly arranged rooms with their equipment are ready to meet any demands which may be made in a modern X-ray department. ' Fifty-three
