WONDERS DEVELOPED
BY WAR.

Atthe convention of army surgeons
held in Detroit, Mich, two weeks
ago japanese surgeon told of ac-
cOmplishments in his department of
the service which shows that the
most wonderful part of Japan's Won
derful military development is not a
story Of battles won 1t is of fight
on disease such as the world has
never before witnessed, and experts
at the convention declare that an ex-
ample has been set that the United
States will do we'll to follow.
Long before the opening of HOSTILE
ties the Japs were ready.
They had discovered that in war
disease kills five where bullets kill
one, and they were certain that the
proportion was eXtravigant. Tney
established the most wonderful! Red
Cross system in the world and that
body soon had more than 100000
members. They had trained nurses
in hundreds, modern supplies for use
in care Of the sick and wounded in
unlimited quantities.
They studied the germ theory and
made war on bacteria the first of all,
and they studied serums until her
students expected to control dysen-
terry, typhoid, erysipelas and eVentu-
ally tuberculosis. They wiped out
that dread oriental disease, beri-be-
ri, by scientific feeding of men. At
the same time Japan discarded the
fuss and pOmp Of war, and brass but
tons and gold lace and other tomfool-
cry became almost unknown.
What did it all amount to? At the
reserve hospital at Hiroshima, up to
the close of August in the first year
of tie war, 6,G3G wounded had been
received. And at that time but
thirty-four had died. In seven trips
made by the hospital ship Hakuai
Maru 2,4O6 wounded men were trans
ported and not "a case was lost in
transit. 1T is asserted that in the
first six months of the war the loss
from preventable diseases had been
reduced to fraction of per cent.

weeks, bullets killed 26S and disease

THE REAL STUFF.

A friend recently told the editor
this story:
"a brother Of mine died a few
years ago, leaving a young son. My
brother was a good fellow, but was
never able to accumulate any estate.
He frequently borrowed money Of
me, which / was glad to lend him.
He paid it as he could, but always
was in debt to me. When he died
he owed me between $500 and 800.
OF course, 1 never expected TO get
back my money. But / reckOned
without the boy, my nephew. He
has grown to be young man. The
other day / had a letter from him
asking me to name the precise
amount his father owed me at the
time Of the latter's death. He said
he intended TO pay every cent of it.
His salary was but $40 per month,
but he would be able to save enough
to pay me in the course of a few
years"
Said this friend: "The letter
brought tears to my eyes. 1 did not
care for the money. 1t was the
boys high sense Of honor and duty
that touched me. / wish / could
make the sum less than he owed me,
but the boy knows approximately
the amount. aud dare not rob him
Of the satisfaction of paying tbs
whole debt
That boy is made of the real stuff.
He is Of the stuff of which heroes
and martyrs-nay, Of which men are
made.
No law forces the brave young
fellow to pay the obligations of tbs
dead save the law of moral duty
He is not impelled By any hope d
gain save that of conscience and by
no fear Of loss save the loss of honor
But he is man-every inch Of him
every pound of him.
One would rather be the father o
such youth than to be the father t.
a common millionaire. Because thu
boy has got soul fiber.

ABSURD ABUSE
OF POWER.

The small calibre physician who
constitutes the majority influence on
state health boards, and to whom is
given autocTatic power in quaran-
tine matters, may not be an abomi-
nation to the lord but he comes
mighty near such to the great body
Of people so unfortunate as to enter
the circle Of his Jurisdiction
The prevalence Of yellow fever in
New Orleans and Pensacola has fur
nished many instances Of the fool
use Of this power, probably the most
conspicuous example Of which is the
forcible subsection Of all who desire,
or are entitled to pass quarantine
stations, to a modified application Of
the BertiIlion system Of measure
ments for identifying criminals.
The practice is both grotesque and
utterly senseless.
Here is an example
A Palatka gentleman with his
family had been spending several
weeks in North Carolina. When
about to return they procured certi-
ficates from the health officer in the
town where they were stopping.
They then went to Atlanta, where
they spent several days. When
about TO purchase tickets for home
the railway agent asked to see their
health certificates. After an exami-
nation Of these papers they were
pronounced worthless. He then in
formed the holders that they wOuld
be obliged to see the United States
Marine Hospital Surgeon stationed
in that>city.
This the Palatka travellers did,
finding in that official a most grac-
cious and obliging gentleman. But
he explained that in order to enter
Florida they would be obliged to
have Identification cards which he
was there to furnish. These cards
contain the name Of the ira Weller, his
age, weight, height color Of eyes and
hair and an IMPRESSION OF HIS
TIL NIB, which latter was secured
by the applicants placing his thumb
in small pool Of ink and then press
ing on a blank space reserved fol
thumbs on the card. This done the
Palatka travellers were equipped fol
the ride home.
OF course the quarantine officer
at the Florida line did not examine
these thumb marks with micro
scope nor compare them with the
original dies in order to see il they
were genuine. He simply glanced
at the cards and let the travellers
pass.
Atlanta threw open its doors to all
yellow fever refugees and hence the
necessity for adoption OF more strin-
gent quarantine regulations against
that city. But if the Florida health
office is responsible for the thumb
in-the-ink mark it contains fakirs
for which the present administration
Of Florida can scarce afford to be re-
sponsible.
The remedy is to place control OF
the health department in the hands
Of broad-minded physicians who can
rise above the "Simon says thumbs
up idea. And We have plenty
such.

to be reckoned with. it does seem that
men should be killed legitimately,

not destroyed by diseases that 80 Of
ten find birth in the negligence of

this lesson TO the nations.

State Superintendent Of Insurance
w. d. Vandiver Of Missouri has sent
a communication to John A. Mccall
of the New York Life Insurance
Company demanding that the $14S,-
7U5 campaign fund contribution be
replaced in the treasury of the COM
pany, under penalty OF revocation Of
the cOmpany's license to transact
business in Missouri for failure to
comply with the demand. The COM
munication also informs President
Mccall that the Missouri depart
ment of insurance will insist on 1t
new president, vice president and
financial committee for the New
York Life Insurance Company, just
as soon as the directors can possibly
effect the reorganization. If all the
states would take similar action it is
more than likely we would have in
surance reform with a vengeance and
have it quick.

It was hot contested mile

play deals with the trials of New

have fallen into the hands of an.
scrupuIous persons who know OF
their parentege and their wealth
and try to do away with the child
rem to secure their inheritance.
The final outcome is of course. to
every ones satisfaction, and the
boy and girl find their parents and
wealth at last. A feature of this
production is the acting of Is
year old boy, who plays the leading
role with such great ability as to
call forth from critics of the New

is without doubt Americas Great
est. Boy Actor. Another big fes-
ture is the appearance of Messrs

cord as entertainers of much merit.
The Soenio mountings and un.
