THE MEASLES CANNIBAI,
Method of Vancouver Island Tribe
to Drive Away Disease,

"ethod or Vancouver Island Tribe
to Drive Away Disease,
few years ago an epidemic of
measles broke out among the Indian
tribes living on Vancouver Island. in
British Columbia, not far from Fort
Rupert, and the shamans or medicine
men came to the conclusion that can
nlbal sorcerer, whom they termed the
"hamatsu' (measles cannibal), was
Staying their childrento eat them and
that he would continue to do so until
he was killed.
AS they could not slay a ghost in his
own person they arranged a ceremony
In which one Of their number posed as
the cannibal and was treated as they
would have liked to treat the real foe.
This fact of substitute was, of
course, not made public, only the med
lclne men knowing the truth of the
matter.
Against wall of rock was painted
an imitation opening, in the center of
which the "cannibaP was fastened At
the proper time, after going through
various incantations, a covering was
jerked away, exposing the cannibal ap-
parently springing through the solid
rock. He was promptly grasped by two
Of the priests, who dragged him out
and rushed him through fire which
was burning in front of the place and
which was surrounded by all the men,
bers Of the tribe beating drums and
singing at the top Of their voices. BY
some jugglery the cannibal was got rid
Of, and the people were told that he
had flown away through the air and
would not come back.
After this ceremony had been re-
peated several times to put an end to
other epidemics, which were only too
prevalent among the Indians, it grew
into a sort of annual affair, mana ged
by the members of a secret society
whose members know that the SUD-
posed "hamatsu' was only a man.

The main obstacle to an effective So
cial control of the sale and use Of fire
arms lies in the bourbonism of police
officials, who think revOlvers so much
a part Of the normal life of mankind
that the very idea Of suppressing them
Is set down at once for foolish ideal
Ism. Nevertheless, the more highly
perfected the various kinds of life de-
stroyers become the more important
will 1t be for society to bring them
under rigorous control. The invention
Of the Maxim silencer will unquestion-
ably give impetus to the movement
The Scientific American says of the
sllencer, as now perfected for use on
rifles, that man could now be shot
ION crowded thoroughfare and in
broad daylight without there being any
evidence Of smoke or report to show
whence the bullet came" Doubtless
In the course Of time a silencer for use
on pistols will be perfected, and then
the possibility which now exists of I'M
traceable assassination from window
opening or other place of conceament
will be greatly extended. Already there
Is a bill under consideration in the
New York Legislature to prohibit the
manufacture or sale of the instrument
except for the use of military or civic
organizations, duly licensed by the
State, and to punish similarly anyone
who may carry 1t concealed on his per-
son. simultaneously there is an or
dance pending before the New York
City board Of aldermen for a detailed
registration Of all sales of weapons,
with full information about the pur.
chasers. This latter ordinance how
ever, even though adopted in an effect
I've form, will doubtless be nullified by
police neglect in administration. The
time will certainly come when firearms
will be chased out of civilized commu.
mites with the same diligence With
which snakes are now hunted down.

among infants is to indict about every
city in the land and all Of the States
for completely In a murderous conspir-
acy. When a municipal legislature de-
clines to pass any law honestly and
scientifically designed to increase the
purity Of the milk supply, it becomes a
party TO this murderous conspiracy.
If 1t fails to enact suitable building
laws, it is guilty of a crime of omis-
sion. 1t Is similarly derelict when it
fails to provide for the medical inspec-
ton of school children or to compel the
taking Of any and all the precautions
which science has devised and expert
ence has proved to be beneficial. We
may hold opinion with certain men of
science, commonly designated as
cranks, that disease is a crime. but we
may not hope to see the people attain
to universal heights Of right living.
But, because individuals habitually and
often Intentionally abuse or neglect
their bodies, the State Is not absolved
from exercising to the limit of toler-
ance its duty of safeguarding life and
health. AS it is now, the State sins
as the individuals do and; presumably,
because they do.

AN OVERWHELMING SALARY


Makuba and Obianga were two Afri-
cans, the one the captain Of a boat
crew and the other subordinate to him.
ODlanga was an independent fellow,
not IN the least lazy, who rather re-
scented "bossing." In book entitled
The Jungle Folk Of Africa" X. H..
Milligan tells of an alteration be-
tween the two men. Makuba, the dip
lomatic, came out of 1t with flying COL
ors.
The worst disputes between Makuba
and Obianga took place when they sup

to which Obianga promptly replies

"No," answers Makuba, with infinite
scorn. "How could Kombi man be

mot as long as can carry a gun,"
answers Obianga.
BY this time they are standing up
and looking hard at each other. But
Makuba would not think of striking a
man in a mission boat. He therefore
becomes diplomatic. Suddenly, in a
tone altogether different, he says:
"Obianga, the trouble with you is
that you are just a bushman; you
don't know anything about civilization.
On every big ocean steamer there is
a captain, and every man on board,
no matter what tribe he belongs to,
obeys the captain"
Obianga becomes instantly curious,
and asks: as he rich?"
"Yes,' says Makuba, "he gets big
pay, and so do 1 get big pay"
"How much do you get, Makuba?"
"How much do you thinkT
Obianga thinks, as well as he knows
how, his countenance distorted with

Baked bananas are readily assimi-

often well borne by patients to whom

The bananas should be peeled and the
stringy outside pulp scroped off, cut
into halves, sprinkled with sugar and
little lemon juice, and baked in
shallow pan until soft.
