BILE at tho mills broke out. He had Just
come back from the hall where he had
been going every Thursday evening and
where he had spoken on his favorite
theme-"The Meaning and ResponsibilitN
OF Power, Both Financial and Menta..
He had treated the subject from a.
Christian point OF view entirely. He ha'
several times reused his rude audience a.
enthusiasm Moved by his theme and his
surroundings. he had denounced, with
even more than usual vigor. those men Of
ease and wealth who did nothing with
their money 10 help their brothers, lie
had mentioned. as he went along. what
great responsibility any great power puts
on a man and had dealt In broad way
with the whole subject OF power in men
as a thing TO be used and always used
for the common good.
He did not recall his exact statements,
but felt little uneasy as he walked
home for fear he might possibly have in
fuenced his particular audience against
the rich as a class. He had not intended
anything OF the kind but had vague
idea that possibly he ought to have
guarded some words or sentences more
carefully.
He had gone up into his study to finish
some work when the bell rang sharply.
and he came down 10 open the door just
as Mrs. Strong came In from the other
room where she had been giving direc-
through the kitchen.
The minister and his wife opened the
door together. and one OF the neiRhbors
rushed into the hall 40 excited he could
hardly speak.
"Oh. Mr.. Strong, won't you go right
down 10 Mr. Winters house? You have.
more influence with those men than any
one around here
What men2'
THE men who are going to kill him N
some one doesn't stop it,
What" cried Philip. turning pale. not
from fear, but from self reproach TO
think he might have made mistake.
"Who is trying TO kill him-the mill
men,"
Yes No, | do not. cannot tell. But he
Is in great danger, and you are the only
man in this town who can help to save
him. Come.
Philip turned To his wife sarah. II Is

He kissed her and rushed out into the

Results of AseptiC Vaccination

A discovery has resulted from ey-
Coolidge and Peck which may be of
more than usual interest to the public
| in these days of the vaccine button and
| attending discOmfortS. \ Tribune man
| called at their office yesterday to get
some data as to results of aseptic vac
cination and the subsequent treatment
by sterilization which the doctors have
applied to large number of cases in
their Office, and in reply to inquiries
Doctor Coolidge said:
I'VE have been making Il trial of vac
ciration by careful attention to ascp-
isis, or surgical cleanliness. with results
that have been surprising as we'll as
gratifying. While this is IL matter
which concerns the medical profession
largely and should be given to the pro-
fession through the medium of the
medical Journals rather than the daily
press. it is perhaps also Il matter of
interest 10 the people to know that
with proper care vaccination can be
carried on in safe and almost pain
less way"
Dr.. Coolidge holds that all sore arms
and limbs by vaccination are cases of
infection and are not made so by virus
used, If the virus is pure. He stated
that they had found in a series of sew
ernl hundred cases of vaccination per-
formed ut their Office under careful
asepsis and where careful redressings
had been applied by the doctors, using
only materials made germ free by thor
ough sterilization by heat that no in
tiammation or supuration had followed
the Introduction of the virus into the
system; but that typical results such as
a fully matured vesicle, characteristic
of vaccination which form, a crust of
which dries and falls off leaving
healthy scar tissue underneath.
These results have been brought
about with no local symptoms of which
the patient complains. over 400 cases
have yielded these results in every in
stance, making the experiment one of
great value TO the medical profession
and proving beyond a doubt that vac
cination is a simple and safe procedure,
but must be carried out under the same
regimen that hospital or any other
wounds are treated: Exactly upon the
principle that every wound whether
made by the surgeons knife or not is
a poisoned wound-unGl rendered
otherwise by what is known as asepsls
or anti-sepsis

We're conducted most carefully to as

posely introduced the law Is found TO
hold true-that infection By germ other
