The Dean of the Agricultural Col
lege was requested to superintend the
distribution of the blank affidayits to
shippers, as suggested in the report
of DR.. Michener, and also to the ex-
ecution of all such other details con-
tanned in said report as may become
necessary.
DR.. Laws offered the following res
olution, which was adopted:
Resolued, That it is the sense Of
this meeting that, in view Of what We
know to be the assured facts, there is
no necessity for the appointment in
service of veterinary inspectors in
any part of the State outside Of Cal
laway county.
Col. Clay offered the following
amendment to the resolution of Mr..
Stephens, which the latter accepted
and which was adopted:
Resolved, That a committee ap-
pointed by the meeting take such &C.
tion as they may deem necessary to
convey to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture a correct state
ment Of the condition of the disease
in this State, and ask the cooperation
of that department in obtaining the
removal of quarantine restrictions at
the earliest practical moment
The meeting was a quiet, harmoni.
GUS one, and was marked by free
discussion Of the whole subject, the
unanimous sentiment of those present
being that the report submitted by
DIR. Michener and adopted contained
a practical and safe solution of the
whole trouble, and that there exists
no necessity for continuance OF the
quarantine restrictions which are
operating SO greatly to the detrimen'
of commerce in this and adjoining
states.

says "the Greeks are not punctilious
about the totality Of the immersion. s
That is, they do not require the head
of the infant to be put under the
water. have a record in Greek as
old as the 9TH century in which it is
forbidden to put the child's head
under the water and reasons given
for it.
l call for proof that the Greeks,
ancient or modern, require submer-
sion in baptism. 'To immerse" may
be to put in, but it takes 'submerse"
to put any person under the water.
1 am not afraid of getting lonesome.
That ''grand man" Dean Afford is
along with me SO far, and that other
''grand man" DR.. Doddridge says on
Acts al, stBut it seems more nat
ural to understand it Gas Dr. Whitby,
another grand man. does) who can
forbid that water should be brought?"
In which view of the clause we would
naturally conclude they were bap-
tized by pouring water upon them
rather than by plunging them into it.
You see, Mr.. Disciple, there is no
danger Of my being alone. "Disci-
pie" had better be little careful
how he quotes at second or third
hand from those "grand men," He
has not fairly quoted single Lexi-
con or author. Not one of them sus-
tain his theory. He had better be
candid like DR.. A. Carson, (Baptist)
p. So, and say, "all the Lexicograph-
ers and commentators are against
me-" And disciple" is on the same
lposltion occupied by Carson, viz,
that Baptidzo means only to ''dip or
immerse" and is a specific word of ac-
ton. I can't approve this way of
Hooking authority that does not be-
long to him. I deny that the Bap-
fists themselves practiced "dipping
over head and ears" till after 1641
if "Disciple' affirms it let him pro-
duce his proof. "Submersion' was
J a 'Iost ordinance" in England in
1641, and had to be revived by un.
baptized parties dipping one another.
This the best Baptist historians
affirm. VIII "Disciple" admit this

Medical Ethics,

A Chicago medical society recently
amputated member. 1t was a very
good member they cut off, and was
not diseased at all. In fact, the
member that was cut off was the on
ly sound, healthy member that the
medical society could boast Of. But
dropping all nonsense, medical as
sociation expelled one Of its men,
bers. They expelled him, not because
he had prescribed arsenic instead of
quinine, or because he had commit
ted some of his homicides while in
an intoxicated condition. Nobody
ever heard of medical society am
putating member for any such triv-
iality as that.
Now, for what does the reader
suppose those saw-bones cut off the
offending member? For nothing in
the world except that he had put his
business card in newspaper and
paid for it. 1t is contrary to medical
ethics for Chicago doctor to adver-
tise in a newspaper. Why there
should be any more objections to .
doctor putting his card in newspa-
per than there is in tacking his pro-
fessional shingle on his Office door,
is more than we can comprehend
without some operation having been
previously performed on our journal
istic brain. We utterly fail to dis
cover why it is more unprofessional
in doctor to advertise in newspa-
per than it is for a lawyer, or bank
er to do so.
This is peculiarly singular fea-
ture of medical ethics, when it is
taken into consideration, that other.
wise there is no profession that is
fonder of newspaper notoriety, if a
son of Esculapius does some fine
work in repairing rickety liver, o,
putting in order some other part oi
the human anatomy that has become
unhinged. We have never perceived
any wild, frenzied opposition on the
part of the doctor to having the fact
mentioned in fattering terms in the
local paper. There is nothing in tha
that interferes with the therapeutic
chirurgical, sanitary, analeptic, pro
phylactic, or any other kind of med
ical ethics. -
Again it will be remembered, thai
every once in a while the doctor.
hold kind of ecumenical council
We have never observed any attemp
to prevent the press from publishing
! the sickening details. Usually ont
of the doctors is delivered of a Ions
salutiferous, balsamic kind of pas
toral address, full of Latin name
and less Ineligible English, abou
materia medica, or dietetics, of phar
!, maeology, after which his one oh
: ject in life seems to be to infiict it, a
! a kind Of mental porous plaster, Of
! the reading public, through the me
, dunn of the local press. There seem
!. to be nothing in medical ethic
: against running an entire issue of
. newspaper with that kind of a fire
! cyclopean advertisement of persons
and professional egotism; yet whe
any other doctor puts in two inc
ad. that he is authorized by law t
take human life, the entire lnedics
profession sits up on its hind leg
and howls about ethics, which goe
! to show that the medical professio
is as badly afflicted with humbugger
: as is theology.

Nearer to Nature Than Some Of Us
Like to Admit.

They said the train was an hour
behind time, and that information
made US all feel put out and an
noyed. Therefore, when boy of
IA, poorly dressed and having
trampish look, came along the plat
form asking for financial aid to get
him down to R on the train we
we're waiting for it was but natural
that one and all replied:
"If you want to go to R take
the dirt road! You look as if you
were used to tramping!"
He had no saucy word in reply.
When he went and stood IN the light
of the window, and I saw how he
shivered in the cold wind, and how
worried and anxious he seemed to be,
I grew ashamed of my gruff words.
I saw two or three others look him
over as I had done and 1 had no
doubt they felt as l did. l ought to
have walked up to the boy and said !:
"Here, my lad, if you really want
to 60 down to RI I am willing to
help you; take this half dollar.
How happens it that lad of your
age is cold, ragged, hungry and away
from home?'
But I didn't. I edged toward him.
ashamed, and yet not quite ready te
acknowledge it to him, and all of
sudden he disappeared. I reasoned
that perhaps he had gone up the bill
to the village, and that his pretending
to want to 60 to R was all 6
trick to beat honest men. When yor
reason that way the heart grows hare
pretty fast, and you feel a bit re
vengeful. We talked the matter
oyer-four or five of us-and tn
conclusion was that the boy woult
die on the gallows.
i Well, the train came along afte
awhile, and it was moving away, afte'
a brief stop, when piercing shrek

bf. EdWar0 d. Foote as repre-
sentative of electic medicine, as o
writer of popular medical literature,
and as a physician, stands prominent
and is, perhaps, throughout the world
better known by his writings than
any other medical writer who has di-
reeted his teachings to the people
rather than the profession. Born
and raised among Connecticut set
tiers, on the "Western Reserve" in
Ohio, he early began the work Of
many self-made men. Starting at the
age of sixteen as '.printer's devil' in
newspaper office he worked his way
to the editorial chair and was several
ly connected with the most prosper
GUS weekly (of its time) in Connect
cut. and the first successful morning
paper of Brooklyn, N. Y, but his
main impulse had always been toward
the study of medicine, and to this
end business enterprises were sacri-
feed until in apprenticeship with q
noted botanical specialist, and q
course Of study finishing with gradu-
alton, found him prepared to follow
out the bent of his life to its compile
ton. He was among the earliest OF
those who advocated the publication
of anatomical, physiological and by
lgienic books for the masses, and his
success in writing interesting and
popular books has been conspicuous.
| HIS first and best known book, enti.
tied "Medical Common Sense
reached a circulation Of 100000 cop
les, probably because of its original
lity and novelty in a new field; and
bis subsequent writings have beer
mainly in the same line, "Science il
IStory" having been written for thu
purpose Of providing readable bool
for children, and one which should
make plain to their comprehension
the facts which he considered it nee
!, essary for them to know concerning
their own bodies.
In speaking of the late Prof. j. S
Smith, of Oxford, London, Natar
remarks: 1T has been said that il
scientific thought the best and mos
original ideas have always been con
ceived before the age of thirty
: This is probably true, also, of tn
original Of this portrait. His mos

The End Of the Scare Near-Report Of
the Meeting in Mexico.

In the offite of the Central Ringo
hotel in this.eity meeting Of promi-
nent citzenil and state officials was
held last Ffday and the following
protest and kport were adopted:
To the governors Of Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas. CoArado, New Mexico and
Wyoming: The undersigned respect
fully ask your attention to the ac-
companyingx report of proceedings Of
a meeting oirepresentative men held
at this piaee to-day. The parties
participatingin in the meeting not only
reside in and adjacent to the district
recently infe4ed with the disease of
contagious leuro- pneumonia. but
have posses(ed unusual opportunity
for observatnn of its progress and
present STATE We especially direct
your sttenti5H to the report of DIR.
Charles B. Kitchener, of the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry,
and beg to assure you that it pre-
sents both a truthful statement Of
the situation and practical solution
Of the trouble. The quarantine re-
strictions, based upon reports of the
prevalence of, the disease in our
midst, some of them grossly exagger-
ated, are proving a serious detriment
to commerce both in our state and
yours, and are resulting in daily
loss of many thousands of dollars.
The disease is now confined to linn.
tied district, in which to-day not a
single acute case can be detected after
close inspection. Why should quar-.
antine regulations be enforced against
all the remainder of the state? Why
not concentrate restrictions to this
limited district and liberate the
state? We hope your EXCELLENCE:
will perceive that a necessity for gen
eral quarantine does not exist, ant
that you will see fit to take sucl
prompt action as to permit trade tx
resume it's legitimate channels.
Very respectfully,
