MENINGITIS RAvAGEs.
New York Has Fifteen Death. fin on.

Day.
 New York, April 15.-There were fifteen deaths Friday in New York from cerebro spinal meningitis. as against thirteen on the day previous. Eight of the deaths were in Manhat- tan. Since last Saturday noon the to- tai is 110.
 A new method of treatment for cere- pro spinal meningitis employed at the Hospital Beaujon in Paris Is described by The Herald correspondent in that city. Up to the present time this treatment appears, the dispatch says. to have given more satisfactory re- suits than any other.
 It consists of injections of metallic ferments, a solution of one in ten thousand. Every day twenty cubic centimetres are injected into the mus cular tissues of the hip or abdomen. In cases presenting very serious symptoms good results were obtained from in- travenous injections of d solution con taining one milligramme of the metallic ferment per cubic centimetre Silver and manganese are the metallic fer ments which seems to give the most successful results. This medication is said to be free from disadvantages
 After a few injections the record of the patients temperature shows a gen eral lowering. Each injection is fol- loowed by a rise in temperature more or less marked. followed in it's turn by a decrease which brings the tempera- ture below the initial figure.

WHY THE PROHIBITION PARTY
DOES NOT GO TO POWER.

Friends of the Prohibition party
tell us that in Massachusetts alone
last year 250000 men voted "no-li
cense"-26,000 more than voted the
Prohibition ticket in the whole United
States at the late election. If we take
the country over there may have been
100000 votes, to exclude saloons in
cities and counties. What is, then,
the lesson? 1t is that the people be-
lieve very largely in prohibition, but
prefer local option to prohibitory law,
because it works better.-Ram's Horn.
Not at all. The lesson is that mil
lions of American voters abhor the
saloon and are glad to vote against it
when they can do so without leaving
their parties, but, at present, not other
wise. Some of these are more anxious
for party glory and personal emolu-
ment through their party than for the
death of the saloon Others-many
others-would fling their party affili-
ations to the winds if they should see
the way open to prohibition. But
they dare not hope for the success at
an early day of the Prohibition party.
They know, when they stop to think,
that the Prohibition party can not

votes must come one at a time. Yet
they are Withholding their one vote
millions in the ggregate-because
that one vote will not bring the vic
tory. They are waiting for the mil
lions of their fellow citizens to "come
up to the help of the Lord" and of
the Prohibition party. But just as
truly those millions are waiting for
them.
Nor is it true that the people pre-
fer local option to prohibitory law.
The liquor interests dare not consent
to have the prohibition question sub
mitted to popular vote in single state
in the Union and because of their fear
of those interests the politicians will
not submit it. Local option does not
work better. 1t is too local and too
OPTIONAL Prohibition on paper be-
comes prohibition in fact when the
people put it's enforcement in the
hands of officials and party worthy
of their suffrages.

THE LEGISLATURE,

There was little legislation regarding
the saloon at the recent session. Two
bills of some value became laws, however.
A person convicted three or more times
within two years of selling liquor with
out a license shall be deemed guilty of
common and habitual liquor selling with
out license" and on conviction thereof
shall be imprisoned in the state prison
not to exceed three years.
On the affidavit of citizen that a
certain person is known or believed to
visit certain place for the purpose of
obtaining intoxicating liquors, justice
poena such visitor and if by interroga-
ton it shall be learned that liquors are ar,
proprietor shall be arrested and tried.
There was considerable talk of legisla-
ton against corruption and IN the
various unjust corporations and mono
poles and there were a number of bills
looking in this direction but most of
them failed to pass. The demurrage
bill, the anti-pass bill and the bill to
reduce passenger fares, were among this
number

Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, president of

Council at Washington this month, said
in part: 'It is said that woman should

must first make your country fit to raise
children in. Why should woman rear

that absolutely feeds boys and girls to

Carrie Nation also talks plainly. Re-
fering also to President Roosevelt, she
says: IF there was sincere bone in
his body he would do something to pro
tect the motherhood of the nation. Wo-
men should refuse to be mothers until
they have some protection. Like dra-
gon, the saloon is ready to devour our
offspring, and our children are the pro-
duct of nicotine soaked, beer-sweled, lep-
rous fathers: We do not raise hogs under
such conditions.
