The question of the right of an in
dividual to whistle is involved in a
trial soon to come of in New York
court. A man undertook to silence a
whistler by hitting him with brick,
and is held for assault and battery. The
outcome that would please the great

equitable balancing Of the injury done
On each side. Probably the assault
with brick was a greater injury than
the assault with offensive sounds, but
there was undeniable provocation.
There is no harm in whistling while
going after the cows or walking home
along country road on dark night,
but that is very different from insist

Vaccination against typhoid fever
seems to be an assured resource in the
war on disease. Two professors cob.
eected with the Army Mediea! School at
Netley. England, have elaborated o
process Of antityphoid vaccination.
Cultures Of the bacilli are used In the
process. Observations were made up.
on number of persons, mostly med1-
cal men, with satisfactory results. A
medical journal says the vaccinations
can be practised without risk, and their
adequacy, also. can be easily controlled
by examinations of the blood. Persons
exposed to the risk of typhoid infec-
ton may secure immunity through this
process If the present degree of sue
cess is maintained.
