VACCINATION.
It's Efficacy as a Preventive of SMALL
pOX.

It's Efficacy as a Preventive of SMALL
pOx.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Most persons have only an ill-defined idea
of vaccination. They regard it as some mys-
terious operation, which, If successful con-
fers upon them an immunity from small
pox but where it originated or how it pro-
tects them from this disease they know rot.
Vaccination is a process by which the
human organism is so impressed by the in
PRODUCTION of a substance and the blood Is
SO altered by the changes 1t 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 1875 by an English physician,
DR.. Jenner, who noticed that dalrymalds
who had once had cowpox enjoyed a com
plete immunity from smallpox. From lnlS
discovery, after a series of experiments
lasting a number of years, Jenner demon
strated that If human smallpox Virus was
inoculated into cow and If the material
In the resulting vesicle from this disease in
the animal was introduced into the human
being, there resulted a series Of symptoms,
Of mild degree, which In some ways resem-
bIed those of smallpox, and which he
named vaccinia and the individual so in
oculated with the cowpox enjoyed complete
immunity from the dread disease Varlola:
When person is successfully vaccinated
the virus is introduced through an abraded
surface and absorbed into the blood and
produces the condition known as vaccinia.
So, then, vaccination affords protection
| from smallpox by producing IN the body
| a constitutional condition which Is similar
! in some respects to the symptoms Of small
| pox ITSELF but of a character so mild as to
| be utterly and entirely harmless, and pro-
| duces such changes as to render the devel-
| opment of the disease in virulent and
| fatal form an impossibility.

Macauley describes the ravages of this
disease at the close of the seventeenth cen

"Smallpox was always present, hil1ng the

whose lives it spared the hideous traces OF
its power. turning the babe INTO c5anse

nicture most every one knows we'll.
The general mass of the people see so ut
tie of the ravages and effects of this dis
ease, unless it happens to enter their own
household, that they do not realize Its nor

infinite number of avenues of contagion
that they do not fear half as much as they

The mortality from smallpox in 1000

The Plea of the Vegetarian.


Just as our ancestors, becoming disguised
with eating their fellow-creatures, one fine
day left off serving them up to their ia
bles, just as now among flesh eaters, there
are many who refuse to eat the flesh of
mans noble companion, the horse, or OF
our fireside pets, the dog and cat-so 1t Is
dstasteful to us to drink the blood and
chew the muscles of the OK, whose labor
helps to grow our corn. We no longer
want to hear the bleating of sheep, the
believing of bullocks. the groans and
piercing shrieks of pigs as they are led
to the slaughter. We aspire to the time
when we shall not have to walk swiftly to
shorten that hideous minute of passing the
haunts of butchery with their rivulets Of
blood and rows of sharp hooks, whereon
carcasseS are hung up by blood-stained
men, armed with horrible knives. We want
some day to live in city where We shall
no longer see butchers shops full of dead
bodies side by side with diapers or jewel
ers, and facing a druggists, or hard by
a window filed with choice fruits or with
beautiful books, engravings or statuettes
and works of art. We want an environ
ment pleasant to the eye and in harmony
with beauty.
And since psychologists, or, better still.
since our own experience tells us that

Houses of the Smaller Glass.
When people of this kind come to the
city and buy a house from 5000 up the
fact is not heralded in the newspapers, and
so, without coming into general notice, this
class of the population is increasing, thus
affording about as impressive an lliustra-
ton of the growing attractiveness or TINS
city as can be based on any phase OIL Us
material development. In other words, this
is a place for persons of moderate means
as we'll as for the wealthy, and that fact is
coming to be more apd more generally I'M
derstood A great deal is heard about high
priced property in this city, but not so much
about the houses and lots that can be had
at small figures.
The fact is the bulk Of the trading OF the
real estate market is in property OF the
latter class, and If the small buyer were
eliminated there would not be very much
business. 1t is largely because there are
many persons here of limited means who
place their savings in realty to the extent
at least of owning their homes that build
ing associations are so prominent in local
business circles, and this also explains the
prevalent custom Of granting easy terms or
payment to purchasers. Now that the rate
Of interest Is lower than ever before, and
the conditions of borrowing money are more
favorable to the borrower than was former
ly the case, the number of residents who
own their homes is increasing and as that
class forms the substantial basis of the ma
terial prosperity of any city, it will readily
be perceived that the development Of the
city is proceeding along sure and wellrec-
ogniZed lines

Thfrty-Seventh Infantry Mustered Out
The War Department received the follow%

out. The regiment was one OF three re-
cruited In the Philippines from volunteers
who had served there with different regt.
ments prior to the organization Of the army
that has been doing duty in the Philippines
for more than year.
General Skaters explanation OF the nurrls
Der of railroad tickets sold is OF interest 10
that 1t shows that more than two-thirds q
the men were DESTROYS of getting to their
homes The railroads gave exceptional ads
vantages to soldiers who purchased tickets
early In that way the men were induced
to procure transportation before they had
time to spend their money in the allure
