Medical Inspection

The need of the Medical Inspection
of the schools is becoming more
evident every year. Diseases are
spread by pupils afflicted usually sew
era1 days before they are compelled
to withdraw from school. Chances
for contagion ore greatly increased
in the school room. The trained
eye of the physician can readily de-
tect the symptoms of disease in the
individual where the teacher herself
may be in total ignorance of disease
for a long while. Epidemics may
thus be avoided to say nothing of
the Inconvenience caused by limo
cent exposures. 1t will not be nee
essary here for me to go into de-
tail os to other reasons for having
Medical Inspection of schools. It
was hoped that Medical Inspection
could be instituted in the Grand
Rapids schools this year, but in spite
of the enthusiasm with which the mat
ter was taken up by the Federated
Women's Clubs of the city, some of
the local physicians, and the Board
of Education, not much more than a.
rouSal of favorable sentiment seems
to have been brought about There
appears to be no form of organization
among the local physicians so that

HIGH MEAT PRICES
IN ENTIRE WORLD
Practically Every Country Af-
fected by Increase in Staple
Food Product.
PORK AND MUTTON HOLD
FIRST PLACE IN ADVANCE
Preserved and Sailed Meats Go
Upward at Slower Rate

WASHINGTON, March G.-Mest prices

Germany and. in q less degree. the
other European countries.
The advance IN fresh meat prices is
less than in salted and preserved meats,
and in nearly all cases the advance in
beef is less than that in pork or NUT
ton. The fact that the percentage OF
advance i'm the price OF fresh meats.
especially those shipped in chilled or
frozen state has not been 0s great As
the advance in saltcd or preserved meats.
Is said To be due to reductions IN the
last few years in the cost Of chilling or
freezing and OF transporting meats Of
this class.
Advance in Mutton.
The advance In mutton is regarded a.
due 10 the comparatively slow growth

The Pension Of John n. KIssings
We are conscious Of q lively interest
awakened by the case Of JOHN X.
KIsaINOER Of Indiana, who has just
received a pension from Congress on
account of his martyTdom TO the mos
quito theory Of yellow fever. KIssIN-
ORR was a soldier stationed in Cuba
when our surgeons decided that the mos
quito was the only medium Of cOmmuni-
cation in the case Of yellow fever He
submitted himself 10 the test quite vol
unfairly, acquired yellow fever and was
Rursed back 10 life in the capacity Of
hopeless paralytic. Now Congress ~
wards his martyrdom with a pension Of
tl2S a month and the incident, 20 far n
the Government l. concerned. IL closed.
II the story u true, and we have no
doubt Of it, the man deserves every cent
ho Is 10 reCeive. He was in good health
when he volunteered 70 20 into the mos
quito cage and subject himself to the
incubation. Il should be remembered
that others who shared his adventurous
vicissitudes actually died. II Is greatly
70 his credit. or rather to the credit Of
his state Of health, that he emerged
from the trial with only a case Of hope
lea paralysis. by all considerations
Of right and reason he il entitled to that
tl3S a month. lie is crippled for life,
and he became 80 in the interest Of Gov
ernment investigation,
Il seems 10 us, however that this
pOstulate Of paralysis a. q result Of vel
low fever should stimulate our medical
officers 10 still further research. There
seems 20 be no doubt that KIssINGER
submitted himself 10 the tests, became
inOculated and N due time hhd yellow
fever. II Is also fragrant that he Is now
a hopeless paralytic'; but the con-
nectiOn between yellow fever and paral-
ysis il In need Of further and much more
strenuous investigation. Nobody ever
heard Of such a consequence before, and
20 far nobody has explained this in
stance. Tho old time yellow fever al
ways ended in recovery or in death.
Nobody had paralysis afterward. There
have been many hundreds Of thousands
Of cases in New Orleans, Mobile, Charles-
ton. Savannah, Norfolk and other South
ern cities, but We believe there Is not a
single instance in which a survivor be-
came a paralytic.
Il may be that yellow fever produced
artiRcially is diHersat from the yellow
fever acquired naturally. Possibly un-

4 French Deputy.

Beyond all question the most dis
tingiished victim Of the recent French
general election was VI. PAUL DOUMER.
During the last fifteen years few French
men have served their countrymsn more
hOnorably OF in a wider range Of activi-
ties than VI. DOUMER In that time he
has been Minister Of Finance, Governor
General Of IndO-China, President Of the
Chamber Of Deputies, and only four
years ago was strongly supported in his
candidacy for President Of the French
Republic
The curious feature Of the defeat of VI.
DOUMER, II appears, is that his friends
and foes alike Rscribe II 20 the fact that
he was a servant Of tho nation rather
than the representative Of his own con-
stituents Of the Aisne district. which he
represents. His Success ~ a statesman.
Il would appear. could in no measure
reconcile these constituents TO HE short
cOmings ~ a politician.
In discussing VI. DOuMER's misfor-
tune the Paris Temps gives an amusing
example Of the lack Of political skin
displayed by him, Having gone 10 his
district TO make a political address he
was advised 70 dwell upon the increase
of artillery Consequently the Deputy
discussed az considerable length and
with wonderful grasp the great prOblem
Of the reorganization Of the artillery
branch Of the French army. displaying
in the course Of his remarks no small
patriotic fervor
Thoroughly satisfied with his perform
ance, VI. DOUMER later sought the judg-
ment Of his advisers and campaign
managers. This is what one Of them
told him:

The duty of a Deputy who would
earn the regard Of his constituents. the
Temps concludes, is 10 look after the
interests Of the saloon keepers, increase
Tho slze of garrisOns, and nothing else
counts for much. To fulfil these i'm
pOriant requirements NJ. DoUMER seems
always 10 have been too busy, too much
occupied with des inf6rets gen6raux do
Ia grandeur du pays A a result the
various factions Of tho LaOh district
united 10 defeat him and replace him
with a Deputy who should represent
them, not the Republic.
This particular phase Of the ingrati-
tude Of republics Is not wholly un-
known in America. The odd cirCum-
stance seems b be that the French
should have been surprised irto 20 acute

familiar In this country. WheTe similar
