TYPHOID CONQUERED.

From this time on it is merely a
question whether one wishes to be
proof against attack by typhoid fever
or not. Certainly there can be no rea-
son for contracting the malady un-
less one chooses.
People nowadays do not "catch
smallpox if they have been properly
vaccinated. In these they neglect that
customary precautlon, it is consid-
cred they have deliberately exposed
themselves to the risk of contagion.
The same proposition will in future
apply to typhoid, inasmuch as means
have been found whereby, through in
oculation with a suitable vaccine" ."
anybody may be rendered perman-
emily immune-that is to say, inca
pable of acquiring the disease.
The principle of vaccination for
smallpox is that of utilizing the germ
of a nearly-related disease of the
COW. much milder in character, to
produce immunity against the more
serious malady. The idea nowadays
is beginning to be applied with much
success, to other maladies, notably
rabies-by Pasteur's dlscovery-and
cholera and bubonic plague. the two
latter at the instance of Haffkine an
Englishman. Vaccination for ty-
phoid-first worked out by Sir. A. f.
Knight of London-is based upon the
same theory.
For some time past our own war
department has been busily engaged
with the problem Of typhoid vaccna-
ton, and at the Army Medical muse
um in Washington, large quantities
Of the immunzing fluid have been
manufactured and put up in sealed
glas stubes, ready for use-each tube
containing the few drops requisite for
a dose. For military purposes, it is
Of utmost importance to find a means
whereby the "putrid fever" which
has been the most deadly enemy OF
troops-commonly killing more men
than were slain by the enemy-shall
be robbed Of its power to Destroy

WHEREIN THERE is NO TRUST.

There is no trust in laughter:
There Is no combine here
In mirth and merrymaking;
No one has cornered cheer,
No one has formed merger
To boost the price Of fun;
The price of real good nature
Is not a costly one.
There is no trust in twinkles
To gllsten in your eyes;
No Hartman or Morgan
Can e'er monopolize
The sunbeams in the morning
That dance from skies above:
Though they may corner railroads,
They cannot corner love.
There is no trust In smiling;
Go laughing on your way;
The price Of mirth and laughter
Is one that all can play,
With twinkling eye, go lovins,
A Joke from foes or friends;
There Is no trust in laughter;
Right there the combine ends.

Cotton Seed Planting Time.

Birmingham Age-Herald: April is
cotton seed planting month. Thus far
it can not be said that the starting
of the new crop has been favorable,
but the present weather is enabling
the farmers to hurry on preparations
for planting and the planting itself
The sales Of fertilizer tags in Alabama
point to preparations for another
10000, O,O00-bale crop, but the outcome
depends upon the weather of the next
seven months. All that can be said

THE GREAT PANACEA.

Schools are good things and they
should be well supported. To this
proposition everyone assents. Yet
many do so without really knowing
why. There are few who realize the
full significance Of educational work
II all people did there would never
be opposition 10 appropriations for
schools and the teaching profession
would be regarded as the highest
calling in the world.
In his famous lecture Thomas H
Huxley defined a liberal education
as follows:
"That man, I think, has a liberal
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-04-24

education who has been so trained
in youth that his body is the ready
servant OF his will, and does with
ease and pleasure, all the work that
rs mechanism it is capable Of;
whose intellect is a clear cold logic
engine, with all it's parts Of equal
strength and in working order ready
like a steam engine to be turned to
any kind of work, and spin the gos-
samers as well as forge the anchors
OF the mind whose mind is stored
with the great and fundamental
truths Of nature and Of the laws Of
her operations; one who, no stunted
ascetlc, is Iull OF life and fire, but
whose passions are trained to come
to heel by a vigorous will, the ser
want Of a tender conscience; who has
learned to love all beauty. whether
of nature or Of art, to hate all vile
ness and to respect others as him
self"
Though this definition was given
over 40 years ago it is the concep-
ton of education that is entertained
by modern men. The true end of ed
ucation is the training of we'll bal
lnced young men and women so that
they will be mentally, morally and
capable of filling their
places in the world. Ignorance is the
root of all evil and education is the
oanacea.

"But what If the cables connecting
the vault with the watchmen's room
should be cut?" Mr.. Eldridge was
asked. The reply was that any tam.
pering with the cable would have the
same effect upon the alarm system as
II the vault itself had been attacked.
This enormous vault, whose roof is
on level with the pavement, has
perfect system Of ventilation by great
driving and suction fans, which are
turned on when the vault is opened,
SO that the air is fresh and cool at all
times. It is lighted by electricity, the
lighting plug being put in place only
after the vault door is opened.
One of the marvels of the vault Is
the vault door, complicated mass of
gray steel weighing seven tons, but so
wonderfully balanced on ball-bearing
hinges that it can be opened without
effort 1t has four combinations. and
no one man in the employ of the gov
ernment knows them. Two men know
two Of them, and two others the re.
naming two, so that in order to un.
lock the money chamber at least two
persons must be present. The door
Is, of course, equipped with the time
lock device, which is now in use on
all first-class safes. But even entrance
through the vault door sets off the
alarm in the watchmen's room. 1t is
necessary, therefore, to supply the
watchmen's department with a sched-
ule showing at what hour the vault
will be opened and at what hour It
will be closed. The vault, according
to the schedule, must not be opened
before S:45 in the morning. and it
must be closed before five every night.
