DEBATE ON VACCINATION
SECULAR LEAGUE DISCUSSES
ABOLITION OF TREATMENT.
Medical Man Maintains That Sys'
tenn Is Benefcial-Two Laymen
Take Opposite View.

The Secular League yesterday debated
the question whether or not "Vaccina-
ton Should Be Abolished Samuel Salo-
man and Harry 3. Bradford offered
strong arguments in support of the aff1rma-
tive side of the proposition. while DR.. NJ.
s. Iseman, the only medical man present,
had stony road to travel Cat-calls and
laughter. plus host of irrelevant ques-
tions, were poured upon DIR. Iseman. The
winner of the debate was not announced.
Mr.. Saloman declared the histoy and
the treatment of smallpox showed con-
clusively that vaccination had proved an
absolute failure in stamping out the dis
ease. The speaker produced long roll
of statistics, which, he said, showed a
mortality fully 90 per cent greater in
the German army, where vaccination is
compulsory. than among the civilians in
the same country.
Medical Association Trust.
Mr.. Bradford made a still broader
charge when he characterized the Ameri-
can Medical Association as a trust, and
said that all vaccine is infected with mill
smallpox.
THE dangers of vaccination exist
mainly in the minds of those opposed to
it, said DR.. Iseman. And Dr. Iseman
ignored questions Nos. 1872. 446 and
squawks, while he proceeded to show
that deaths from smallpox were forty
times more frequent before vaccination
became compulsory.

lad soon had about 1000 tiny tomato

sell them when neighboring gardeners.
would want them to set out in the
fields. The father charged him Is
cents for the box-space and a quarter
for the seeds-just enough to let the
boy know that he was not getting
them for nothing.
When the warm weather came the
father set out thousands of tomato
plants one day and that night a frost
came and killed the most of them. 1t
was up to him to go out and buy more
plants wherever he could, and among
his son.
What do you want for your plants.
