ILLNESS A HOBBY WOMEN WHO WORRY THE DOCTOR

Mr. Bernard Shaw's theory that tum- fort is the greatest drawback of civilisation being discussed, a' famous doctor has do nounced the women who go from speciälkst to specialist seeking stunt cures for imagined ills.

Doctors are pestered by the type of person described by Mr. Shaw, and the specialist. Women, in particular, slete riorate murkolly-under-the -rwervating | Water, etc. influence of luxury. Many of them make a hobby of their imagine bad health. The doctors can only endeavour to cure what any is wrong with them.

If thos were told that they were entirely bealthy, they would not believe it,

Most practitioners would be glad to sacrifies the foe these earn by attending them, and many eventually do so. The women are the pet aversion of doctors.

THE DINNER JACKET.

PRINCE OF WALES SETS' A NEW FASHION.

Since st season the double-breasted dianer jacket has made great strides, rod is now being worn by some of the best. drossid men about town.

In ordering this type of garment it should be remembered that the opening must be sufficiently long to show plenty of the white shirt, otherwise the effect is as if one were wearing an ordinary double- breasted jacket says the hilly Mail.

Broad laps, rolled rather low, the frout having four buttons, is the best style. Furthermme, the jacket should" be a trifle) fanger than the ordinary sigle-breasted kind, and now that there is such a yogue for the wide-legged trousers they form a very good combination.

With the double-breasted dinner jacket the single-breasted waistcoat is essential; this may be either black or white. If in the former colour, the material should be same as the suit, and the opening U-shaped. White waistcoats are permissible with the Hinner jacket; all controversy on this point has been waived since the Prince of Wales set the example,

TESTING A DRUNK"

TELLING THE TIME FROM

BAROMETER.

"How does a doctor prové a man to be intoxicated

There is no legal or medical definition of drunkenness, and no one has yet laid down standard tests, says the Daily Mail,

An injury to the head or physical. wenknews has been know to produce con- ditions allied to helpless intoxication, and a sip of brandy aduzinistered to the patient by a sympathetic bystander hus given the necessary olfactory corroboration to an over-zealous doctor,

The fact is that there is no one sure test. Failure to articulate clearly, the truly rural phrase, or an unsteady gait and dilated eyes may be due to many causes other than over indulgence.

Even a man who says it is five o'clock when shown the face of a barometer may be perfectly sober

Experienced police surgeons apply at. lenst dozen tests, including letter differ. entiation, various equilibriam tests, dilation! or contraction of the pupils of the eyes, pulse, and the gait test.

"The spot test is interesting. The man He is asked to touch a spot on a wall. may succeed and yet be drunk. It is his method of making the attempt, not the result, that counts.

Other tests include touching the tin of the name with different Gagers and bend- ing down and touching the hoot over the right toe with the left hand."

Three British officers were thit-two for desertion and one for murder.

One man who, though he may have been timid at heart, obviously had a cor tain amount of courage, was a soldier who was sentenced to death or threa occasions, each time for desertion. Twice he was reprieved, but he could not stand the welter of mud and blood of the tren ches. He deserted again and when cap- tured, was thot

Forty other men, after being sentenced to death, were reprieved, only in offead

gain. They were shot,

In 266ce the offence against the failitary code was desertion, 37 men were exocuted for murder. Eighteen were shot for eqwardice, three for mutiny and two for sleeping on duty

In all 1,080 death sentences were pussed. The 348 carried out yielded a percentage of 11.2. No officer or man Buffered death as the fogult of court martial sentence at home,
