The man who wishes to be we'll and
to keep well Is In hard straits these
days. The jangles between science and
medicine put him, If both parties will
consent to see no special application in
the phrase, between the devil and the
deep sea.

what. in the name of common sense,
Is he to do when the doctors disagree
and the scientists are at loggerheads?
What was our meat yesterday is our
poison to-day and heaven only knows
what it will be tomorrow. Things in

taps the keys Of his typewriter. Food

Gus curative properties a few short
months ago loses them In a jiffy at
the pronunciamento of some great
man. Everything is unstable. every
thing Is shifting, everything is mysti-
flying and, in measure, disheartening.
Here for example. Is the case Of
water versus the public health. Judge
Medicine, sitting on the bench In soil
tary state, handed down the decision
that it was not enough to filter water
of the impurities 1t held more or less
in solution; it must be boiled to destroy
the noxious germs Whereupon we all
set about carrying out his mandate and
a precious lot of trouble 1t has made,
AS every housewife will testify. Still,
it was for our health and so the work
went cheerfully on.
Now comes a writer in Cosmos of
Paris an authority in science, who
makes the startling assertion that boil
Ing water does not completely sterilize
it, as we have been fondly imagining.
1t simply makes it unpleasant to the
taste, while many troubles Of the stom-
aeh and intestines follow its use.
We must heat the water under pres

Then the germs will be killed and the
water will be palatable. While the
heat that makes the water boil will kill
the majority Of the germs, certain
spores require a much higher tempera-
ture for their destruction. SO num-
erous machines have been devised
which subject the water to pressure
at temperature which must range be
tween 266 and 500. Then it is to be
absolutely healthful and as pleasant tc

OF the 14S smokers whose hearts
we're examined, 10 showed irregularity.
OF the PAL non-smokers whose heart
condition is recorded, 66 were slightly
abnormal and were thus classified. or
the 14S smokers 1888 per cent showed
heart uncertainty; of the PAL non-smok-
ers, 27.3S per cent Said DIR. Ander-
son:
1.-THE investigation of the heart Of
the smoker was not made to defend the
freshman, but to approximate facts re-
lative to his habits of using smoking
tobacco. Much has been written against
cigarette smoking and much harm has
been laid at its door, but we must not
forget that it is the excessive use Of
tobacco that does great harm, and that
the cigarette smoker suffers much from
associate evils. A few conclusions are
deduced. The 1909 man was a pipe,
and not cigarette smoker. He smoked
cigarettes on the streets because the
use of a pipe by him is tabooed. This
custom gives him the reputation of
Icing a cigarette smoker. His health
and heart are not injured to the extent
generally believed, but his lung capa-
city is deficient and his weight is be-
low the average. 1t is the consensus
Of opinion among most athletes that
smoking is detrimental and the ma
jorlty of men training for teams do not
use tobacco. And, finally, academic
standing OF the smoker is lower than
that of the non-smoker."

San Franciseo's Rat War.

The raid on rats at this time is not
the FIRST Of the kind in San Francisco.
In 1852, when the sidewalks in Kearny
and Montgomery streets were as un-
even as the existing walks in Mar
ket street east Of Front. and were
made up of dry goods boxes laid in
the mud end to end, some high and
some low, the town was overrun with
rats of all colors-gray, white, brown
and black. At night they would
crawl out of their holes and run along
the uneven walks. They were so thick
on the streets during the spring of the
year named that women were afraid
to go out after nightfall, and the
men who ventured forth on the poor
ly lighted streets often stepped on a
dozen rodents in walking the distance
of block. It was no uncommon thing
to see men with crooked canes on the
sidewalk playing shinney, the rats be-
ing used in place of knurs. In tha.
way many were killed. 81
