There is considerable smallpox
over in the Arkansas valley and
school boards are ordering com-
pulsory vaccination. BY what
power do they compel parents to
inoculate their children with a
poisonous virus, often times more
injurious and deadly than the
disease it is supposed to prevent?
Were vaccination ever so virtuous,
with correct habits, cleanliness
and proper sanitary observance,
its use will not be necessary"
The above was clipped from the
Telluride journal, and shows how
once in a while an editor will
swell up. The writer of the article
lays asid6 the experiments of -Jsa-
ner, and sets at naught the belief
and practice of the ablest medical
men of the century.
1t must be that ordinary mortals
are not so correct in their. habits
nor so strict in sanitary observance
rs is this editor, for the fact re-
mains that vast majority OF
people find vaccination the surest
means of preventing smallpox.

Those Graves on Deadman's Island

At the last meeting of Bartlett-Logan
post, G. A. r.. attention was called to the
fact that time and the elements are making
steady encroac hments upon the lonely, I'M
marked graves on Deadman's island, San
Pedro harbor. A committee, consisting of
Major Horace Bell, F. A. Werth and Sam
Kutz, was appointed to petition the war
and navy departments to remove the bones
of the seven sailors and marines from the
crumbling rock where they are buried, and
give them decent interment in some nation
al cemetery. The members of the post says
that II the government does not attend to
the matter, they will.
This calls to memory an interesting bit
Of history. In the year of 1886 the United
States Savannah landed a small party o.:
marines and sailors at Wilmington to OBJ
crate against Los Angeles then a Mexican
stronghold. The party was surprised by
Mexioans In ambush along the road a short
distance south of Compton and in the fight
these seven were killed. Their bodies were

hence the children easily learn the intricate

This lace is made on a cushion about a

cushion is stuck full OF pins, standing VI
like little posts. To these pins are fastened
the ends of the threads, coming from many
