tagious disease. In very few places outside of the larger cities has the subject been properly handled. It has been mostly on the hit and miss plan. In some cases the citizens were all lowed to do their own fumigating and in other cases it was attended to through the medium of someone who had the time. but the question of knowledge was not essential. The method of procedure in instances of this kind was to purchase some for Imaldehyde or sulphur and proceed to create an odor. The question of the quantity of material to be used, with relation to the cubic air space to be treated, was an unthought of prob lem. This system might be termed suggestive therapeutics. It would be possible for me to continue along these lines indefinitely. citing cases where either through gross careless ness or ignorance matters that should be given serious attention were ut
 terly neglected.
 The subject of sanitary science in the schools, in both large and small communities. is not receiving the con- sideration to which it is entitled, and which eventually will be compulsory through proper legislation. However. there is fortunately an improvement in the school situation as compared to the health officer situation. But there is still a great deal to be desired and accomplished. The progress of sani- tary science depends primarily on the education of the people, and by mak- ing the proper start now in our schools, We are laying the foundation for world wide sanitary campaign.
 Though I have stated that fortu- nately there is an improvement in the handling of school sanitation, at the same time even in this department we find the game of politics being played. We find men appointed to serve as school trustees who, without doubt, are entirely out of their ele- ment. and in many cases retard the progress of their respective schools. One fact is standardization work is entirely superficial, unless founded on clean and healthy foundation. We know just what to expect from an adult who is in ill health-what about the child?

 will give the question of sanitation in their respective communities serious attention.
 The foregoing is in TO way intended as a reflection on the work of the
 various state boards of health. They
 are doing grand work, but they are | likewise handicapped because the po- litical element. that deem such issues as health matters of minor import ance. block the road by curtailing their finances. This may all be obvi- ated through the medium of educa- ton. Most of us appreciate the i'm portance of a subject we understand, and Uncle Sam can bring about this educa tional campaign and the state boards of health will come into their owH. likewise the people.
 of course when the question of a rational department of health was az itated some time ago, the cry went up that the doctors are 2rafterS Yes, l presume that if through a national department of health disease was les s,ned. which would mean -ne reduC- ton of taxes, the me1ico would be a grafter. Think it over.
 Now the question of health officer s in the smaller commuaities in most ir stances is not even dignified by po- litical attention. It is a position in name only.

ROASTING an Eco.

Every boy and girl down on the farm
in times gone by used to roast eggs.
pieces Of meat and potatoes in embers
in the old wood cook stove or in the
big open fireplace. Barns were search
I'd for hens nests. and the fine. fresh
eggs were wrapped in heavy paper.
The paper was dampened. and several
thicknesses of it protected the eggs
from scorching. You know. wet pa
per in a ball is hard TO burn. W III,
the wrapped up eggs were put on the
live Goals and partially covered by
them. In from five to fifteen minutes
the egg was roasting hot and ready to
eat with salt. pepper and butter. A
pin hole was made In the big end of
the egg so IA TO let the steam escape
to keep it from bursting the shell and
the meats from running out If you
have never as small boy roasted such
eggs you have missed one of child
hoods greatest joys.-New York Press.

On q Grain of Wheat

Prayers have been written and en-
graved on many small objects. but
only one person ever has been patient
and painstaking enough to inscribe a
complete prayer on Il grain of wheat.
One day Sir Moses Montefiore received
a small tin box in the mail. On the
cover of the box was written, "a
prayer for Sir Moses Montefiore. by
Bauch Mordecai. son of Zebi Hirsch
Scheinemann of Jerusalem" The box
contained a single grain of wheat. on
which were inscribed in characters so
small they could only be read with the
aid of powerful microscope the 1856
Hebrew letters of the prayer and the
date of the year CHebrew reckoning),
5645. Sir Moses kept the prayer in his
private desk until he died. and it Is
preserved with religious care by one
of his friends.

Man Eating Wild Men.

In the celebrated "Travailes" of Ed
ward Webb Q59O are dozens of stories
that would make Munchausen turn
green with envy. One of the most cele
brated of these is his story of the wild
men of Prester John. which is as fol.
lows:
'In the court Of Prester Iohn there Is
a wilde man and another in the high
street of Constantinople whose allow
ance is every day quarter of raw
mutton. and when any man dyeth for
some notorious offence then they are
allowed every day quarter of mans
flesh. These wilde men are chained
fast to post every day. the one in
Prester Johns courtd. the other in the
high street Of Constantinople. each of
them having mantell about their
shoulders. and all over their bodyes
they have wonderful long haire. They
are chained by the neck lest they
speedily devour all that cometh within
their reach"

1t is, or was until recently. a difficult
matter to be sportsman In Turkey.
One Rechad Bey tried 1t, with a re-
suit weird enough to serve as a basis
for detective story or a comic opera.
The young Turk had organized a
football team among his friends. to-

mans. and began practicing. Not very

The authorities were convinced that
they had found a great plot and that
the club must be secret society.
special messenger was sent for the
ball, and that was duly examined and
found to be an internal machine The
be another piece of damning evidence.
and still worse were the sweaters and
colors Of the club.
After long deliberatlon the culprit
was sent to the higher police authori
ties in Stamboul. who went through q
second long examination and came to
the conclusion that the empire had
been saved from disintegration by the
early discovery of great plot. They
dispatched the whole matter to be In
quired into at the sultan's palace al
Yildiz. and a special commission took
the matter in hand.
After much careful thought and ex

be committed again.-Harper's Weekly

UNWRITTEN BOOKS.

Stories Planned and Promised That
Never Saw the Light.
The Bookman republishes a paper by
Professor Brander Matthews entitled
''Unwritteu Books" that was first
printed many years ago. Professor
Matthews speaks of the projected
books and plays that never saw the
light and have been read. like bills in

title "L'Homme de Cour." which was
to be his masterpiece. Nothing is
known Of it today. Richard Brinsley
