Mrs. shnm,r's Literary work.

The November issue of The New Race
magazine, published by the American
health congress. Chicago. Will prove OF
interest to Houston readers. owing to local
talent found among its contributions. One
of the editorials reads as follows: THE
raper in the dietetics and hygiene depart
ment, by Mrs. f. f. b. Shaifer, b. o.,
which is only the hrst iustalment of a
series, will be read with interest. One OF
the queries which arises In the minds OF
the readers is promptly answered when she
says she is not epiritualist, The next ques-
ton, Are You a Christian Scientists? Is
also answered in the negative by the
fact that she believes in tbs relation OF
food to morals, We think the readers will
come to the same conclusion we have, /. e..
she is deep thinker, a clear and forcble
writer and well posted Ralstoniie"
In this connection II may b. noted that

Of economy as would be representatives OF

In conclusion, l beg leave to say that
this paper Is not written for the purpose
OF criticising the Marine hospital service,
but to review the law as enacted In 1923
and to show it's defects. That law ought
to be repealed, or materially changed. u
violates the constitution OF the United
States, and insults the dignity Of sovereign
states. by forcing surveillance upon them
that must be distasteful 10 those who ex-
ecute It as II is humiliating to those who
are compelled to submit TO 1t.
deem 1t especially incumbent upon
this conference to consider and take action
upon these great questions We arc con-
fronted by growing power that threatens
10 monopollze all sanitary matters and con-
troll all systems OF public health. The
evolution OF the Marine hospital service
within few years from a charitable in
stitution, caring only for sick sailors, into
vast machine of power, is one of the
marvels OF the century; and unless a. halt
is called It foreshadows. at no distant
date tho doom Of all State and municipal
uuarantinps.
