The salaries of Governor Taft and the other
four members of the commission were fixed by
President Mckinley after exhaustive considera-
tion including a careful study Of the great
cost of living in the islands. and the necessity
of retaining capable and trustworthy officials

was far less than that received by colonial Of

distinctly inferior to those performed in the

commissioners salaries. for 1t is recognized

Vaccination.
DR.. F. W. MCNARMA, OF CHICAGO,

DIR. F. W. MCNARMA, OF CHICAGO.
Most persons have only an ILL
defined idea of vaccination. They
regard it as some mysterious ope-
ration, which, if successful con-
fers upon them an immunity from
smallpox, but where it originated
or how it protects them from this
disease they know not. Vaccina-
ton is a process by which the
human organism is so impressed
by introduction of a substance
and the blood is SO altered by the
changes it produces that though
the individual be exposed to the
contagion of smallpox he will not
take the disease. This process
called vaccination is the result of
an accidental discovery made in
the year ITS by an English ply
stefan, DR.. Jenner, who noticed
that dairymaids who once had
cowpox enjoyed a complete i'm
munity from smallpox. From this
discovery, after series of expe-
riments lasting q number of years,
Jenner demonstrated that if hui
man smallpox virus was innocu-
lated into q COW and if the mate
rial in the resulting vesicle from
this disease in the animal was
introduced into the human being,
there resulted q series Of symp-
toms, of mild degree, which in
some ways resembled those of
