Gen. Lord Kitchener is said to be
fayorably impressed with the value of
anti-typhoid incubation in the British
army. The evidence as to it's effective
ness in checking enteric fever, as pre-.
sented in the Journal of the Royal
Army Medical Corps is, indeed, very
strong. The method of incubation,
which was advocated in 1897 by Sir
4. Z. Wright. was first tested on a
large scale in India and Egypt, with
encouraging results. 1t was also
shown that during an epidemic at
Maidstone not one of the S4 nurses
and attendants who had been inocu-
lated was attacked, whereas there
We're 16 cases of typhoid among 120
nurses who had not been inoculated.
The experiments are being continued
in India, to which country $4,000
doses of the inoculating material
have, up to date, been sent. 1t has
been found that a second incubation
increases the degree of immunity.
Lieut.. LuXmoore reports that during
the Meerut epidemic in the Seven
teenth Lancers, 61 of the 63 cases oc-
CURED in soldiers who had not been
inoculated, the other two being men
who refused to submit to a second
operation. The Lancet holds that in
oculation for typhoid fever must here
after be held as necessary for the pro-
lection of soldiers as vaccination is
against smallpox. The observations
made during the Meerut epidemic also
emphasize the fact that sanitarians
have fixed their attention too much on
water as source of infection. More
recently, the fatal activity of flies has
received some notice; but there is
third way in which the germs are
scattered broadcast-by means of
dust-which has heretofore been in
sufficiently studied

Comment is often made on the su-
premacy of the Jewish element in the
theatrical field Miss Ellen Terry puts
her finger on the secret of it in her
comments on Disraeli. She expresses
a liking for his novels because of
their color, their pageantry, and then
says: "Disraeli was a heaven-born art
list, who, like so many of his race on
the stage, in music and elsewhere,
seems to have an unerring instinct for
the things which the gentle only ac-
quires by labor and training" In
other words it is not the commercial
sense alone, as so many assume, that
makes Jews succeed in this field, but
the instinct she speaks of for what

The Results.

Under the leadership of that great
statesman and patriot, Richard Cob
den himself a cotton spinner, the
English manufacturers earnestly sup
ported the demand for free trade In
a house of commons elected to main
tain protection and under the minis
try of former ardent protectionist,
Sir Robert Peel, the whole system
was swept away, corn laws, naviga-
tion laws, and all. The results need
not be described. philadelphia Rec
ord
The results are too well known to
require description. British manufac-
turers are being undersold in the
British market, the United Kingdom
has become dumping ground for the
cheaper wares of competitive coun.
tries, British workmen in vast mum
bers are out of employment, and the
British pauper percentage is the high
est of any civilized nation. These are
the results Of dispiqcing protection
and installing free trade.

Free State Is About to Terminate.

Brussels.-The close of King
Leopolds long struggle to stave
off annexation of the Congo to Bel
gium and to retain his personal SOW
ereignty over this rich and extensive
African state, is foreshadowed in the
agreement reached between the Bel
gian and Congo governments, elabor-
ating the terms upon which the Congo
Free State shall pass into the posses
sion Of Belgium.
This transfer will mark an impor-
tant epoch for the Congo, as hereto
fore the entire conduct of affairs, civil
and military, has been under the per-
sonal direction of King Leopold and
a cabinet Of Congo officers entirely
separate from and Independent of Bel.

make the Belgian government instead
of the king individually responsible
for the conduct of Congo affairs. The
British and American governments
have favored placing this govern

KEEP UP WORKERS. WAGES.
Tariff Tax on Printed Matter Shown
to Be Good Thing.

The Philadelphia Record complains
of the tariff on books as "a tax on the
mind" 1t probably does operate that
way on the mind of n free trader for
he wants to buy everything where it
is the cheapest, no matter what be-
comes of American employment and
wages. twenty-five per cent. ad va
lorem is the tariff on all books, pam
phlets, etc, printed in the English
language. On books printed in other
than the English language there is no
tariff.
1t is purely a matter of wages, the
cost of paper being practically the
same here and abroad. In Great Brit
ain the pay of compositors, pressmen
and bookbinders is 80 per cent. lower
than in the United States. In Ger
many these workmen receive not more
than so per cent. of American wages.
Large quantities of books and other
printed matter in the English lam
guago are produced in Germany and
shipped over to Great Britain, where
no tariff bars this low priced compe-
cition.
But for our tariff of % per cent. Ger
many would do big trade in print
ing for the United States. We are
not sure but the Record itself would
find it a saving to send over the
copy" for it's Sunday supplements
and have the composition and press
work done in Germany. Certain it is
that if the % per cent. tariff Gid not
stand in the way many millions Of
pages Il books, pamphlets, catalogues,
etc, would be set up, printed and
bound in the low wage printing houses
OF Europe that are now produced in
this country and give employment to
great numbers OF American printers,
pressmen and binders.
Considering the extraordinary
abundance and cheapness of good lit
erature in the United States, and also
the economic value of maintaining the
superior American wage scale, the
criticism of that % per cent. tariff
seems puerile indeed.

A BAD PRE- -EMlNfNCE.
American Railways Kill and Iniure
More People than Those of Any
Other Country.

Berlin.-Herr Cutlery, an official
of the Prussian railway admin
istration has prepared a comparative
table of statistics of those killed and
injured by railways in various coun-
tries. He finds that both absolutely
and relatively the railroads in the
United States are the most deadly.
The United States has more mileage
than all Europe, but even taking that
into consideration, the United States
holds pre-eminence in proportional
figures.
Out OF every 1000 railway en-
ployes the ratio of the number injured
each year is as follows:
United States 43.5, Switzerland 25.3,
England lis, Belgium IL, Germany
"a.
Out of every 10000 employees the
relative figures of killed are: United
States 26.1, England 1913, Switzerland
80, Russia rs, British India 6.7, Bel
GUM Al.
Herr Cutlery finds that in a single
year-the fiscal year of 1923, 76,500
persons were injured in the United
States, of whom 10000 were en-
ployes, and $500 were killed, of whom
$500 were employees.
In the matter of travellers injured
France holds the lowest record in the
world. United States shows propor-
tionately 40 times as many injured as
Russia, % times as many as italy, 20
times as many as England, eight times
as many as Belgium, four times as
many as Switzerland and twice as
many as Germany.
