Young Physicians Take the Hippo

There are several famous ancient
oaths, of which the best known are
the Athenian cath, taken by young
citizens, and the Hippocratic oath,
taken by physicians entering the
profession. This week the latter
oath was administered to the grad
yates at the eighty-sixth annual
commemorate of the Jefferson Med
ical College, in Philadelphia. This
Was the first time it has been ad-
ministered in the history OF the

That into whatsoever house you

HOT WEATHER DOM'TS
IN CARING FOR MILK
Spoiled Milk Greatest Breeder of
Typhoid Fever
ADULTS AND CHILDREN ALIKE
Absolute Cleanliness Imperative TO
Prevent Trouble

kiCNCnt 1lOuDtC
Heat and bad milk go hand in
hand. And bad milk is the great
est breeder of typhoid fever and
other ailments peculiar to the heated
season.
Adults and children alike suffer
from the effects OF milk which is not
properly cared for. Too great stress
cannot be laid on the necessity for
tho exercise of every precaution to
protect milk from all sorts OF
impurity and pollution.
Milk which is delivered in good
condition by the dairymen often
suffers through the neglect Of con-
sumers and doubtless many charges
laid at the dairymsn's door should
be credited to careless servants or
ignorant housekeepers who 10 not
understand the proper care OF milk.
Here are some milk don is" pre-
pared by the health officers OF the
District of Columbia, which might
be posted in every kitchen for the
inspection of all persons who han
die foodstuffs:
Don't buy milk from open cans at
dairies or stores. Buy it in bottles.
Don't allow milk to stand in the
sun after it is delivered.
Don't leave milk exposed to the
air in an open vessel.
Don't attempt to keep milk above
a temperature of so.
Don't put milk in vessels or uten-
sis that have not been scalded.
Don't use milk that has been kept
more than twenty-fCur hours.
Dun't mix old and new milk.
Don't allow milk to stand where ii
can be reached by flies.
Dont put open milk bottles or
opsn pitchers and vessels contain
ing.milk in the refrigerators with
OFT covering them.
Since milk is the best possible
culture bed for typhoid germs and
other germs which are carried by
lies, absolute cleanliness in hand
ling the family's milk supply is i'm
perative, and no housekeeper should
fail to give her refrigerator and
kitchen a daily inspection. Nash

Bees Swarned in Hat

A dispatch from Kingston N. Y
says that peach basket hat aband-
oned by summer boarder in the
Lackawack Valley in Ulster county,
furnished considerable excitement
to John Satterlee. a farmer near
Shutdown, yesterday. HIS little
girls found the hat early in spring
and mounted it on high fence post.
Yesterday when trying to take the
hat of the post a swarm of wild bees
surged out or it and the children
were badly stung, They told their
father about the bees and he started
to hive them.
The upper part ofthe hat was fill

thick, and from this hung the cham

filed with white clover honey.

Degrees for College Soldiers Who

The University of Virginia, Wash
ingtod and Lee and every other edu-
cational institution OF the State,
whose students gave up their class
es to enlist in the Confederate army,
should follow the example of the
University Of North Carolina and
confer upon all such who are now
living a bachelor degree which they
lost Il rough their patriotism. No
finer tribute could have been paid
those old heroes of North Carolina
than that paid on Monday when
eighty survivors the war between

of the president of institution the
diplomas which would have been
theirs fOrty-odd years ago had they
not answered the call to arms.
The degrees were conferred under
law passed at the last session of
the Legislature of North Carolina
for the purpose of paying a tribute
to the old soldiers.
The Virginia Legislature should
pass law authorizing the Univer-
sity of Virginia to confer degrees
upon the undergraduates of that
institution who enlisted in the Con-
federate army. Such Legislation

$1.OO PER YEAR
THE COMMONER SOUNDS
A NOTE OF WARNING
Declares Underwood Tariff Bill a
Backward Step

The Underwood bill has been en-
dorsed by Democratic caucus and
will pass as it was reported, unless
Republican ridicule shames the
Democrats into amending the bill.
The manner in which the resolution
was received by the opposition
when it was read in the house ought
to give the Democratic members
some idea Of the modification which
will be felt by Democrats through
out the country when they have to
meet the jeers and taunts of Repub-
lican protectionists.
The Underwood bill leaves a 20
per cent. tax on wool. This is
step backward at a time when the
tariff reform sentiment OF the couu-
try is moving forward. The Demo-
Gratis put wool upon the free list
nearly 20 years ago. Mr.. Under
wood defends the 20 per cent. tax as
revenue measure and insists that
it is necessary. That is the way
most protective tariffs are defended.
The COmmoner does not accept Mr..
Underwood'S reasons and does not
believe the country will. 1t is alb
surd to argue that the tax on wool
is necessary; the amount levied on
wool could be collected with less
hardship from other things. It is
a conservative estimate TO say that
the tax on wool will cost the people
from onehundred to two hundred mil
lions, or at least from FIVE to ten
times as much as it brings into the
treasury. The less than fourteen
millions which will be collected on
wool could be collected from a ten
per cent. duty on raw silk and raw
rubber-not to speak of other meth
DDS. Bot instead of relieving the
consumers of woolens to the extent
they might have done the followers
OF Mr.. Underwood sound a retreat
on the wool question and they did it
in the name of revenue tariff.
Many honest men have been misled
by MIR. Underwood's specious argu-
ment, but The Commoner asks these
Democrats to watch the chairman of
the ways and means committee. II
he is tainted with protection, as The
Commoner believes he is, he will
show it on other measures as he has
on this. The hope of tariff reform
ers is not in his leadership but in
the fact that there may be enough
tariff reformers on the committee to
outvcte him. If time proves that
The Commoner' estimate OF him is
erroneous an apology will be forth
coming-if events prove that this
estimate is correct those tariff re-
formers who have followed him will
have an opportunity to repud date
him.-The Commoner.

Measuring The Human Mind.

The treasurer of the ROYAL Anth-
ropological Society of England has
invented machine for measuring
the mental capacity of men and wo-
man. He asserts that it records
relative alterness, Quickness of ap-
prehension. persistence of mental
effort and profundity of thought.
The invention may be interesting,
but it is by no means essential.
Most men show their mental excel
lence and defects themselves, and
exhibit them SO plainly in action,
attitude, conduct and achievement
that the discerning need no machine
to take their measure.
