Clubs

The executive board Of the Ebell club
considered per capita dues in the dis
trict federation yesterday, and appoint
ed a committee to investigate and re-
port, advising a course of action. Mrs.
w w. Bartlett is chairman of the
committee, other members of which are
Mrs. Fred w. Johnson and Mrs. Philip
G. Hubert. These women will consider
the parliamentary ruling on the ques-
ton, there being some doubt in the
minds of many of the delegates as to
the authority of the district convention
to make the change in the constitution
without having given notice at some
previous meeting, or at least to the
clubs Of the district, so that their dele
gates might be instructed as to their
vote.
The plan of raising per capita dues
from cents to cents for the benefit
of district federation work Is one which
larger clubs oppose, and several of the
smaller clubs also took exception TO
the amendment when it was presented
at the convention last week.
Hollywood Womans club at its meet
ing yesterday discussed the recent raise
to the district federation, and decided
to await the decision of the Friay

how to handle him. The true scout
never jerks or leases or beats the ami.

the art of stopping the runaway steed

self to reprimand the non-scout who is
caught abusing his horse. He learns
what to do in case Of fire, how to
enter a burning building for the pur-

how to escape from one in the safest

In a former article was explained
the theory of the newly discovered
opsonic or vaccine treatment of infec-
tious diseases, and it was shown how
the remedy is obtained from the pa
tient himself 1t was then stated that
although in some cases a stock vac
cine" could be used, applicable to all
cases of a certain disease, better re-
suits are usually obtained if the vac
cine is prepared fresh for each case
from the special strain of bacteria in
the patients own body
This is especially necessary in the
treatment of colds and of the tendency
thereto. for it has been found that
the symptoms of an acute cold or Of
chronic catarrh are caused by several
different species of bacteria, and the
vaccine good for one kind is of little
or no efficacy in the others.
The only way to find out which bac-
terra are at work is to make a culture
from the patients own nasal or throat
secretions, and when this is obtained
it can be used as the proper vaccine.
The usual form Of pneumonia
croupous or lobar pneumonia-is gen
orally caused by a specific germ, and
a stock vaccine may be used if nee
essary. but it is better to use the pa
tents own bacteria even Mere, for
there are usually certain peculiarities
in each case. The treatment Of pneu-
monia in this way is very recent, but
the few cases that have been reported
have been so successful as to give hope
that eventually the disease will be
conquered by this means.
In regard to colds and catarhs, the
matter is not so simple 1t has been
found that no less than six distinct
forms of bacteria may produce an
acute or chronic catarrh. There is one
that has preference for the nose, an
other for the back of the throat, and
still another for the bronchial tubes;
but no one of them has a monopoly Of
anv region, and sometimes a number
of them are working together in the
same case in perfect harmony In the
treatment of a cold, therefore, one
must first ascertain what bacteria are
at fault, and whether one or several
kinds. Then the corresponding stock
vaccine, or a combination of several,
is given so as to lose no time while a
new vaccine made from the patients
own germs is being prepared.
Not only has it been found possible
to cut short acute colds, and benefit or
cure chronic catarrhs, but it seems
probable that permanent immunity
may be secured by an opsonic injec-
tion, given every six months. All this
is tentative, however, and although
the method promises much, it is still
too early to speak with confidence of
future results.-Youth's Companion.

Probably one of the most interested
spectators of the comets journey from
the eastern to the western sky last
night was William Macabbe, an in
mate of the United States Naval home
at oath street and Gray's Ferry Road,
the Philadelphia Inquirer says.
"Old Bill" as he is familiarly called
by his comrades at the home, is lO6
years old, and when Halleys comet
made its last appearance in 1885 he
was a sailor, 81 years old.
When seen yesterday Bill was
propped up in bed, for he has had a
broken leg which has kept him in
doors for more than year, and when
asked if he remembered seeing the
comet seventy-five years ago, the ole
sailor, taking another pull at his corn
cob pipe, said, Yes, believe l do"
"Now, since it comes back to me,

consider the others, for courage and
ingenuity are enough to start with.
The scout is the idol of the small boy,
because he is brave and resourceful,
and to call a boy a scout is to make
him desire to be these two things,
brave and resourceful.
Gen. Baden-Powell knew the boy ma
ture far too well to begin with high
ideals and practical work. lie gath
cred together a small company of in
teresting little chaps and told them
that he wanted to train them as scouts.
That was thrilling and the youngsters
took to it with avidity. Others came
and when they had been on camp a
few weeks they spread the news that
they had had the time of their lives
and that their friends could do the
same things next summer if they would
ioin the order and learn the prelim
mary lessons. The result was that the
idea spread like an epidemic until
there is no part of the British empire
that does not boast its boy scouts.
The scout badge is not bestowed un-
til the boy has acquired a great deal
of skill and information. He must
learn about wild animals and how to
track, trap and dress them. He must
achieve skill in woodcraft and the art
of building boats and bridges, must
know how to set up a tent or, in the
absence of tents, he must be able to
construct a shelter of such materials as
he finds in the woods All the appli-
ances for saving life must be mas
tered. The scout knows what to do
when he sees a comrade oVermastered

the victim who is all but dead when
he is rescued. He can swim and dive,
can paddle any kind of boat that is
seaworthy and repair, with any tools

While the Cree Indians are not,
properly speaking, United States prop
erty, excepting a few who have found
their way into Montana and North
Dakota, no list of Indian tribes Is
really complete without some remarks
upon this extraordinary people-a ma
tion which covers more territory, with
its various little bands ana scattered
groupings, than any other race of red
men on the continent. In fact 1t Is
doubtful whether any savage nation
in the world rOves over an equal space
of ground, excepting, possibly, the
Arabs. and there are thousand Arabs
to every Cree.
A map of North America, with the
Cree hunting grounds marked in red,
would have decidedly pinkish appear
ance north of the United States boun-
dary line. The Cree Indian inhabits
Labrador, northern Quebec and the
wilderness of Ungava. He roves on
either shore of Hudson bay. His camp
fires dot the vast expanse of the north
far Mackenzie, from Hudson bay to
the Rocky mountains. The great for
ests of Keewatin, Saskatchewan, and
even the Yukon are his hunting field.
He comes down upon the plains, and
even crosses the boundary line. Many
of the Chippewa at Turtle mountain
are really Cree, and bands Of them in
fest the Flathead and Fort Belknap
reservations, in Montana. The Mon
tagnais of Quebec, the Neskapi of I'M
gava, the Salteaux of Keewatin, the
Wood Cree of the western forests, and
the Plains Cree of the prairie are all
brothers in language. They are Algon-
quin, related in many ways to the
Chippewa, but shorter in stature and
stronger physically
The hunting grounds Of the Cree
must cover total area OF not much
under 100000 square miles, and the
tribe. in its various branches, num-
bers perhaps 25,00O souls Consump-
tion is rife among many of the Cree
tribes, but the number of the whole
race does not materially lose or gain
from year to year.
The Cree, though always friendly to
the whites, have had their snare of
war. and have waged campaigns with
fair success against the Sioux Black
feet, and Eskimo. A large proportion
of them are mixed bloods, and perhaps
half the tribe are descended from
French or Scotch traders and trappers
