ERON OTHER PENS
THE OPsONIC METHOD.

The "opsonic method" is the newest
medical notion to engage the attention
of the doctors. It is advanced on
authority no less eminent than that of
Sir Almeroth Wright a leading Brit
ish pathologist In charge of st. Mary's
hospital London, who has recently
been visiting Boston and who read a
paper before a gathering Of physicians
on his theory of disease, its treatment
and prevention. The "opsonic index"
is defined as the power of the blood
to destroy obnoxious germs and the
opsonic method is the treatment and
prevention of germ. diseases by a kind
of vaccination. Sir Almeroths dis
covery is said to consist of a way to
give the blood the necessary vitality to
do the work of destruction. His theory
seems to be that incubation with the
dead germs of a disease gives the blood
power to destroy the living germs.
Thus in a case of typhoid fever the
patient is vaccinated with a dead ty-
phoid germ. Experiments have begun
at the Harvard medical school to test
the heory.-Portland Press.

POLITENESS.

The poor are denied many advan-
tages, put good manners may be re-
quired by all. Parents should devote
much time to teaching good manners
at home. Children are careless, and
carei essness soon runs into rudeness,
but 1t IS easy to keep children in the
way OF politeness and gentility with
little effort expended daily. Polite
ness may be taught in school, but 1t
IS learned, if learned at all, in the
home A boy doesn't have to be rude
to be good football player. The
best center rush we ever saw was
regular Chesterfield off the gridiron,
and we once saw John L. Sullivan

for a Salvation Army woman. Po-

diamond, and the poor as well as the
rich may wear it,-Holton Signal.

In his Crowley speech on May
9TH, las', Governor blanchard,
said:
"DOn't claim that | am trylng
tO increase taxes because am /.
trying to increase the assessment"
the Governor cried. "What am
| trying to do Now, let me say
toyou that am not putting up
to the Legislature a proposition to
change the laws to increase the
assessment. The assessment laws
my friends Of Acadia are DOW
justsas they have been for the
last 20 years. In 1879 we had
Constitutional Convention and
this Constitutional Convention
adopted certain laws with refer
ence to the assessments. These
laws were such that the Constitu-
tiOnal Convention OF 1898 adopted
them The laws to which | refer
provide that all property shall be
assessed at its actual cash value.
(The Governor, doubtless meant
to allude to the revenue laws
enacted by the Legislature for
the Constitute, n says that the
assessment shall "never exceed
the actual cash valuation) Every
Governor of this State no is
elected takes an oath to observe
and have the law executed.
Every assessor who is appointed
takes an oath to observe the as
sessment. And yet, this law, has
never been executed y (A startl-
ing confession this.)
He added that in Acadia the
assessment was not up to 40 per
cent. of actual values -
| 1t will thus be observed that
the abortlve efforts to raise the
assessment to 100 per cent. have
merely served to produce the in
equalities that are so justly conf
planned of.
1t is obvious that variable
assessment cannot furnish re
liable basis of taxation, and the
first care OF Ihe Legislature should
be to tx a rate Of assessment
for the State. taxation that it will
be possible TO have enforced.
Otherwise, "a reduction Of the
State tax to ) mills, predicted
T upon an assumed rate of 90 per
cent, would go to y mills by the
simple raising of the rate of as
r sessment to IS per cent making
the reduction of one mill from the
actual tax Of SIX mills, illusory.
The same rule will apply to the
: local taxation and the revenue
, law should also require the police
juries to fix the rate or percent
age of the assessment for The
