The average cost of sending a child 10 the
country and bringing it back to its city home
is So. This is only possible through the cordial
relations existing between the Fresh Air Fund
and the railroads, which give greatly reduced
rates within the 500-mile limit to the children
and their volunteer escorts. Large parties ara
furnished with special cars. AS the children are
the invited guests of the families which thew
visit, their stay in the country is no drain on
the fund
Besides the 245 children who will 60 for a
fortnights visit in the country this week 1000
children and mothers will get a days outing ar
cursions from different parts of the city to
Excelsior Grove, on the Hudson River opposite

joyed and prove very beneficial.

aging epidemics OF such diseases in for
mer times will soon be a thing OF the
past. In addition to this the germ
theory more than anything else has con-
tribute1 to the spread Of that great Ere
tentative OF disease, cleanliness. from
which only is 10 be expected our final
complete salvation from germ diseases.
y In avoiding germ infection, whether it
be Of wound or OF body to produce
disease. there are two things to consider
10 the first place, the germs must be
kept down TO such numbers that the in
fected body or tissue may successfully
cope with them, or, which is physiolog-
ical equivalent, the tissues must be in
such good condition that they can resist
more than the usual number OF germs.
These same principles which determine
the first infection are also operative IN
deciding whether the patient shall sue
cumb to or recover from the disease pro-
cesses which are thus induced. IL will
be seen, therefore, how important is any
hygienic measure or any procedure under
the head of treatment which either re-
duces the numbers or virulence OF the
injective agent, or which increases the
virility or resisting power OF the patient
or his tissues. 1t is the mastery OF a
knowledge of these things which char
acterizes the successful physician; for it
is only by such aknowledge that one can
be continuously efficient in the warfare
Of health against disease.

no longer be held il doubt. 10 the same
connection, however, our knowledge OF
the ability of the human body to remove
or to successfully oppose large numbers
of these germs has greatly increased as
has also our information concerning the
processes underlying the prevention OF
and recovery from infectious and conta-
gious Diseases.
1t is interesting also to note that many
diseases for which as yet a germ cause
has not been established, are accepted
by practically all physicians as diseases
due to micro-organisms; this conclusion
having been reached by the same course
of reasoning as that by which astrono-
mers are able to announce in advance
the discovery OF new planets or by which
chemists prophesy the discovery Of new
chemical elements by inference from the
blanks in the table Of Berzslius. For
this reason diseases like smallpox and
scarlet fever are ordinarily considered as
germ diseases dOu are tredGeu as sucu,
even though the geological organism has
not been established.
The Iengthening of the average human
life during the past century, fact for
proof of which the large insurance COM
panies have furnished abundant Stats
tics. is undoubtedly attributable in the
main to the improved methods in medi-
cine and surgery due to the advancement
of the germ theory of disease. This
knowledge has permitted US not only to
take better care of those afflicted with
such disease, but 80 to isolate the cases
and to protect those who must be asso.
ciated with such patients. that the raw

GERMS.

With the first general comprehension
Of the significance and Importance of the
relations between germs ard disease
there came also into the minds of many
a genuine fear OF these little parasites.
AS greater familiarity has since come,
there seems to be some little reaction, as
is natural. in the opposite direction. and
the bacteria are hardly accorded now by
many the consideration they deserve.
This condition of things can be attributed
to but one cause, namely that the life
history of the germs themselves and their
action in producing disease are not fully
understood.
Comparatively few people know the
painstaking experiments connected with
the establishment Of any germ as the
cause OF certain disease. The impress
ion seems to prevail that it is only nee
essary to find the germ in the body in
connection with the disease, then to as
sumo that the disease is caused by that
germ. Such observation, however, is not
sufficient. Since the first disease.pro-
ducing germ was established as such,
scientific men have required that in order
to determine any germ as causative of
any disease, four conditions must be full
filled. In the first place. the germ must
be found in the diseased body associated
with the disease in such numbers and In
such q relation to the tissues that they
may reasonably be assumed to be the
cause OF the tissue changes and symp-
toms observed. Second, that the germs
shall be grown in pure cultures in nue..
TRENT media outside of and entirely
apart from the diseased body. Third,
that these pure cultures so obtained
shall produce in susceptible animals dis
ease processes identical with those from
which they are obtained; fourth. that in
the diseased animals and in the LESSONS
80 produced. the same micro. organisms
shall be found again.
For each Of the diseases or disease pro-
cesees now attributed to germ cause,
this tedious and difficult experimental
process has been many times repeated
and the results 30 verified that they can

consented brightly and led the way in
doors. The interior showed the house
to be a fit nest for this wounded bird.
Mrs Evend looked over her music and

song in the most exquisitely cultivated

brought around, an Irresistible impulse
seized me and l bent and laid my lips
upon her luminous cheek. and turned
away quickly, for my eyes were full Of
tears.

Personal TAX Law,
Attorney Duval1 Holds It is Enforce,
able in District.


A. B. Duvall, the attorney for the Dis
trict, has rendered an opinion to the Dis
trict Commissioners in which he holds that
the personal tax law in the District is
maintainable and its provisions enforce
able. The validity of the law was some
time ago questioned by the District asses
sor in a letter addressed to the Commits
sioners, and it was suggested by that OFF,
cial that the matter be referred to the at
torney for a legal ruling. Assessor OAR
nellie said he found upon entering the
office OF assessor that the personal tax
law" had been regarded pretty much In
the light Of dead letter law. He pointed
out some of the alleged defects which have
been spoken of from time to time, and
which, he said, had been regarded as sup
posedly fatal. The attorney, in his opin-
ion, says:
While these and other defects have for
years cast doubt upon the sufficiency OF
the law, as yet there has been no con-
tested case in which, our courts have pass
ed upon its validity or sufhciency. and 1t ts
quite apparent that Congress has always
supposed It to be in full force. for at each
session specific appropriation is made for
Its enforcement.
After a very careful review Of the mat
ter I am of the opinion that, notwithstand-
ing the defects indicated by the assessor,
the personal tax law is mafntatnable ana
its provisions enforceable"
