One of the truest things about medicine to-day is I that we have less medication and more of . proper diet and surroundings. Put the ; patient in the most favorable condition to resist disease and it is better than taking drugs. The truly scientific advances of medicine are based upon this.

Every nail in an Icelandic house, every pane of glass, every bit of wooden flooring, every insignificant bit of furniture, has to be transported laboriously from one of the seaports to its destination. That the Icelanders are poor goes without saying. There is little or no home market, for every Icelander has the same products to sell as his neighbors. The circulation oi ‘ money is, therefore, very small. If a. farmer cue to have a little surplus each year he may handle a. little money, but in general the trading at the seaports is literally trading. An Icelander batters a certain number of horses or sheep or rolls of dried fish or bales of hay for a supply of groceries and other necessaries of life. Small boats carry travelers over danger- ous rivers, while the horses swim on ahead.

The sewer was half full of water,but the convicts swam a distance of 1,500 feet to the mouth of the sewer, which opened into a railroad freight yard. There they broke into ashed, stole all the cloth 3 and overalls belonging to the switchmen and railroad employees and made good their escape.
