ment against it. Vaccination may be
as serious, as fatal, as the disease against
which it innoculates, and, moreover, 1t Is
not always preventive, never a certain
preventive. All this the characterization
lists are justified in asserting and in at
tempting to prove.
But the State moves slowly and it has
recognized vaccination as n necessity in
preserving the public health during times
of epidemic. The State gives to health
commissioner power to employ all recog-
nized means to preserve that public
health. 1t grants him, by this recent de-
cision, the right to compel vaccination.
1t might do otherwise. The State might
determine to have nothing to do with
vaccine. 1t might determine that every
smallpox patient and every person ex-
posed to smallpox should be vaccinated
by the common hansman, should be hang
ed by the neck until dead, or shot down
in ranks. 1t has the power to do this.
1t has the power, although the individual
forgets it, of life and death. In the case
of lcprosy this is recognized. Solitary
incarceration is death in life. The State
is the supreme arbiter of good and i'll to
the people.
The vaccination controversy will con-
tinue. Health officers may still insist
that children shall be vaccinated before
entering school. The law of compulsory
education may insist that these children
attend school. The net is Closest. Paul

Haoniness of thc Home.

Should wife be bothered by her hus-
bands troubles? Let us change the word
ing to read: Is husband bothered by
his wife's troubles? The majority of mar
ried men will give an answer in the neg

hours have been. the wife endeavors to
brush them one side, when evening comes.
She is then always better dressed than Mt
any time during the day, she usually has
happy smile of welcome and she adds
fresh lauDels to the most magnificent
institution the world knows-the Ameri-
can home. There are many vexations
trials, multitudinous cross events of a
housewives day that are never mention
ed. They are borne bravely, and wrongs
are remedied as best they can be without
intlicting the burden upon the man.
Now the question arises, Does the
husband bear his trials with the same
bravery and carry the same encouraging
smile when he comes home? If things
have gone wrong Mt the office or Mt the
store is not my lord usually in despon-
dent frame of mind and does he not carry
his worries to the tircside with him? 1t

doubt, but that is hardly fair. Talk about

Schwab,s foolish Advice.

Schwab has been giving some more
foolish advice to young men. 10 the
graduates of the Pennsylvania State Col
lege he said:
1.-THE worst thing you can do is to start
in life with influence. Nothing will ever
do you so much injury. Never ask your
friends to help you."
This is advice that Mr.. Schwab never
acted upon himself. Nor did any other
successful man. To depend entirely up
on influence and not upon ones self and
ones own efforts is, of course, fatally
wrong. No young man who does that
can succeed, however potent the infiu-
ences in his favor may be. But at the
same time, true worth and intelligent,
earnest effort on the part of any young
man will attract to him friends and inilu-
ences that will be nightly helpful to
him. These are not to be despised, but
are to be cultivated and treasured and
used. In the complex life of this age indi-
vidual effort counts for little unless Joined
and in harmony with forces that control.

An Automntic Tank Valve.

AuuA ShlSes
Regulating the flow of water into
troughs and tanks Is something which
causes farmers more or less anxiety
and trouble. In the plan as illustrated,
the water pipe enters near the top of
the tank, which places the valve out Of
water, thus relieving it of all danger
from rust or the collection of sediment.
Such valve may be bought at any
hardware store. The pipe may enter
nearer the bottom of the tank and If
the valve is kept clear the device will
still serve Its purpose Another point
in Its favor Is that, If desired, the valve
can be closed just as effectually when
the tank is one-fourth full rs when
filled to the brim.

up the trunk from eight to twelve inch
es. l am careful to remove any borers
that may be in the trees, MS they come
from the nursery. keep in mind this
fact that the coal tar will not kill the
borer, deeply buried under the bark,
but will prevent the moth from depos-
iting its eggs at the base Of the tree.
The application of the tar must be
made annually thereafter, being sure
to finish the work before the moth be-
gins to fly, which believe is from
June to Is, usually. In making these
annual applications it is necessary, to
insure success, that the earth be re-
moved down to the roots. The bark
from the roots up eight to twelve inch
es must be completely covered with the
tar.
In case the tree Is suffering from the
effects of the shot-hole borer or fruit

equal to the coal tar as a remedy. In,
case of mechanical injury to tree the
tar is better than any paint or wash
