nounced in favor of the healthfuness

the greater healthfulness of cooled flesh
over the warm meat of freshly slaugh-
tered animals. The National Provi-
sioner believes that the time Is not far
distant when the treatment of feVers by
refrigeration will be accepted as leglt-
innate method of procedure. While cold
storage Is holding down the fever, med
icine can go on with It's work of killing
the germ, and more effectively curing
the malady which racks the body, ana,
naturally, in a much shorter time on q

sidered probable, too, that the spread OF
disease In crowded tenements ana oth-
err dwellings, in very hot weather could
be minimized by an artidcially lowered

Ever since the beginning of the Chi
nese trouble the United States has
shown great diplomatic ability, and its
reputation in that line will not suffer
from the answer to the German note
which it has just made. This answer
has been carefully phrased so as to
soften the unqualified refusal of the
United States government to make the
punishment of the Chinese ringleaders
q condition precedent to negotiations.
Also, it is noted that in the expression
of purpose to insist upon the ultimate
and proper punishment of these Offend
ers the State department goes far be-
yond the German declaration on the
subject The announcement that the
department intends Immediately to be-
gin, through Mr.. Conger, conferences
with Ching and Ii Hung Chang, al
though distinctly marking the fact that
these are only preliminary to final ne
gotiations, will have the effect to force
the other powers to an immediate de-
termination of their policies in this
matter.
The skill with which the Chinese
matter is being handled at Washington
suggests the inquiry, Would Bryan
and his assistants deal with such a
problem any better than President Nc
Knley and his assistants have dealt
with this one?
