Our Guardian Angels
Turn to the thirteenth chapter OF
Matthew. If We have faith as a grain

in the ninety-frst psalm David wrote:
He shall give his angels charge over
thee to keep thee In all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up In their hands
lest thou dash thy foot against q

Does the Bible literally mean we
can say to a mountain 'Begone! and
II will tumble into the sea. or that we
can jump off the ledge Of rock over
hanging Niagara, and the angels will
fly down and catch us before we are
flung under the falls? OF course not.

to use his common sense. Jesus never
helped anyone unless that person
was first willing to help himself. He
said unto him sick Of the palsy, Arise,

selves unto the priests, and 1t came to
pass as they went they were cleansed.
And way back in the time of Job we
read: The Lord turned the captivity
of Job when he commanded him to
pray for his three friends In other
words. God did not help Job until Jobs

Prepare for the Plague.

DIR. Edwin Klebs, professor of patho-
logy in the post graduate medical
school, at Chicago, thinks the United
States government should take the pre-
caution to prepare for visit from the
bubonic plague. He points out as sig
nificant that France, Germany, Russia
and Italy are making Pasteur anti
toxin and suggests that the United
States department of agriculture be
authorized by congress to establish
serum stations at once in islands in the
Pacific and Atlantic ocean and perhaps
the great lakes. Prof. Klebs' idea came
from his careful watch of the spread OF
the disease, and the fact that in 1896 IN
Canton and Annoy, China, the admins
tration of the Pasteur anti-toxin re-
duced the death rate from 90 per cent
to 90 per cent. 1t requires year to
perfect the anti-toxins.

Anti-Toxin Stations be Established

People Dying OF scurvy.

The war department has made public
an important report from Capt. w. k.
Abercrombie, second infantry, who
commanded the Copper river exploring
expedition in Alaska last season. The
chief topic treated in the report is the
laying out of the great trans-Alaskan
military route from Port Valdez,
Alaska, to Port Egbert, on the Yukon.
While engaged in this work the officer
was charged to take note of the mineral
resources of the country, of its adapta-
bility for agriculture and stock raising
and the fuel ana food products for man
and animal. Capt. Abercrombie ar
rived at Valdez, the starting point of
the expedition, on the 2lst of April, be-
ing received by motley crowd which
had just come across the Valdez glacier
from the Copper river valley. de
found that hundreds of people were dy-
ing of starvation and scurvy in the Cop
per river country. The people at
Valdez were in a most pitiable condi-
ton, crowded in miserable huts like
sardines in box There were no ia
cilities for bathing; most of the suffer
| ers had scurvy, and not few frost bit
ten hands, faces and feet. The tops OF
old rubber boots and strips of gunny
sacks made shoes and socks for many
of them. The stencil was intolerable
and 20 per cent of the inmates of the
huts were mentally deranged. This
was common to those whom fear OF
| scurvy had driven over the glacier
where so many had persisted by freez
| ing to death.
