there Is but one town in that state that

one the name Of which begins with
"X," Nenia. it is easy to understand
the abbreviations, and they save lot
of time and ink.
"11worth" is not so easy to under
stand perhaps, but when kansas" is

puzzling abbreviatiop is 40" but

healthy people is enc CT irritability,
but in the soldier Of five or six years
service the irritability Is so great that
it constantly affects his temper.
The soldier wears such tight clothing
that his heart has not room to beat
freely, and the perpetual struggle to
do its work under difficulties Injuries
it. The soldiers trousers are tight at
the waist. His coat Is buttoned as
tightly as possible and very often he
squeeZes himself with belt.
Then when on tue march his chest
Is compressed by the weight of his
knapsack, cantocn, great coat and
heavy cartridge belt.
If you watch n company of soldiers
when they are doing n long march.
you will observe that most of them
have flushed faces, red ears. red noses,
swollen necks-showlng that the heart
Is greatly ovprtuXed. Some, on the
other hand. arc pale. which proves that
their hearts are not equal to the work
thrown on them.
When, after very long march, the
men have to deploy into lighting order,
and perhaps rush n hill, a very large
number break down altogether. Their
overstrained hearts never become
really strong and healthy again.

VACCINATION IN CALIFORNIA.

The fight against compulsory vancl-
nation has now, It seems, broken out In
Sacramento The Bee, OF that city,
gives space 4, lengthy article founded
on an interesting little work, The
Wonderful Century, in which the rea-
sons are set forth why so many have
lost confidence In the old practice.
At meeting Of the board Of educa.
ton a few days ago the matter Of
compelling school children to submit to
the operation came up, and superin-
tendcnt Erlewlne placed himself on
record as opposed to comDulslon. The
Bee quotes him as follows:
I'm his opinion. the State law insist
Ing on compulsory vaccination was an
outrage. II kept many children out OF
the public schools. Some found their
way into private schools. but many in
this way were deprived OF an eduCa-
ton. Vaccination might be ali that was
claimed for Il, but there were two sides
TO the question. Some people dreaded
vaccination almost as much az the dis
ease which the incubation was intended
10 prevent. The law as Il now APP
peared In the statute books was a pen
atty visited upon every child whose
parents sought 10 have 1t enter the pub

light OF an outrage"
There seems TO be a disposition In
some quarters to force vaccination on
the school children OF Sacramento. and
in that case. conflict Is likely to take
place. The point Is this, that as long
as medical authority Is divided on the
efficacy OF vaccination II Is an Outrage
