Country in Asia.
From the Century.
l was trying to think that 1 could walk
the whole way although I had reached my
limit in the morning. when a coOlie sug-
gested that he could carry me In basket.
IT was shaped like a V. and he filled it
with old. very dirty bags. which I was
careful not to examine, and my blanket

full Of elephants, tigers. rhinoceroses

that In many places it was merely a crum-
bling ledge.
j at last mounted my basket. The coolie
carried il on the crown Of his head, stead
ted by a strap passed around the basket
and across his forehead. He walked with
his head bent down. as if he were going to
butt into some one. l was perched on top

Outcome OF Preventive Medicine.
In concluding his comprehensive review.
DIR. Kober spoke in part as follows:
THE results in the decreased rate Of
diphtheria, Group. scarlet fever. typhoid
fever, whooping cough, consumption, ma
larial fever and diarrhoeal diseases are the
direct outcome of preventive medicine, and
are as gratifying as they are striking. We
note with regret the increased rate IN
Brights disease heart disease, dropsy and
pneumonia, and may well pause to inquire
whether our ever-increasing national
drink BILL averaging 17.6S gallons per cap
ita, may not be a factor in the development
reason to believe that the habitual and i'm
moderate Of alcohol apart from in
creasing the connective tissue and causing
cirrhosis, also produces fatty degeneration,
especially Of the heart. liver and arterial
coats. probably because it promotes the
conversion Of albuminoids into fats.
Solutions Probable.
''Since our knowledge Of the nature Of in
fectious diseases has been more and more
defined, scientific methods for their preven-
tion have been applied. We have learned,
too, that in addition to the germ there must
be a suitable soil for it's proliferation, and
that sanitation will not only destroy the
environments for its development without
the body. but also place the system in the
best possible condition to resist its toxic
action. The application of this knowledge
has saved millions OF lives besides an in
calculable amount of human suffering and
distress. not to mention the economic as
pect Of the question. When We remember
all this and the fact that Jenner's discov-
cry, at the close Of the last century, OF a
fundamental and practical method Of pro-
ducing artificial immunity, has been far
eclipsed in the last twenty years. and that
we possess today not only curative but also
protective sera for diphtheria. erysipelas,
tetanus plague and possibly cholera tuber-
culosis. typhoid fever. pneumonia and a
number Of other immunizing agents for dis
eases Of man and lower animals, we have
reason to believe that the solution Of the
problem OF immunity is only a question OF
time. and we may indeed expect great pos
sibilities in our battle against infectious
diseases"

DR.. kober said the answer was an en-
phatic Yes"
Prof. F,inkelnburg Of Bonn," he contin-
ued, estimates that the average length
OF human life in the sixteenth century was
only between eighteen and twenty years.
at the close of the eighteenth it was a lit
tie over thirty years, while today it Is over
forty years: indeed. the span Of life since
lSso has been heightened about six years,
as shown by statistics In Mulhalps Die

The mortality Of London between 1850
and 1913 was 80 per 1000 of inhabi-
tants; from 1728 to. 17S9. 81 per 1000: from

Continuing. he declared that no two fac

we breathe and the water we drink.
Indeed" he said, I'VE have ample evil
dence that, with the Introduction Of sewers
and public water supplies, the general NOR
taaty In numerous cities. during the past
forty years. has been reduced fully one
half, the good effects being especially
shown by marked decrease in the number
Of cases OF typhoid fever diarrhoeal dis

HOW ONE SHOULD EAT DAILY.
Food Required BY Laborers and Brain
Workers Is Entirely Different.

What should one eat daily to re-
tain health. DR.. II. Shomber says
lit depends chiefly upon your occu
|pation.
The table for the workineman
who needs muscular foods he gives
las follows:
Meat, half pound; bread, one
pound; fats, one-quarter pound; po-
tatoes, one pound; milk, half pint
eggs, quarter pound; cheese, one
third pound.
This is the foundation from which
meals should be altered for men ol
the various occupations and pro-
fessions. In great mental activity,
fruits and cereals should be eaten
often. They supply brain stimu.
lants. which are necessary.
The various degrees Of mental
work from laboring up require pro
|portionally less Of the food in the
above table, and more cereals and
fruits.
Many men OF professions eat toe
much muscle-making food and too
little brain-nourishing food, and thu
result is sluggishness.
