The state of PENNSYLVANIA is making
an impartial inquiry into the value OF
1-accination, and in this it has the
support of the Journal of the American
Medical association, much to the sur
prise of those who do not believe in
The method
The issue over vaccination is far
from being a professional issue.
II has the opposition of some of the
ablest physicians in this country and
Great Britain. and those who favor it
are composed of two o1asses-those
who advocate and use the dry point
and those who endorse the wet point,
and these classes are constantly at
ennlity with one another and bitterly
condemn each others methods as in
jurIous rather than beneficial.
Heretofore the difficulty has been
the extreme attitude which both sides
e the vaccination question have taken
toward each other Governor Tener
has used the authority given him by
the recent legislature to appoint a
state vaccination commission to study
into the wlicle question of vaccination,
its efficacy in the control of smallpox
and the methods of the prepare ton
and use of the vaccine virus.
Speaking of the character of the
commissioners the Waterbury Amer
lean says:
Two of the members are extreme
ti-vaccinationists. They are John
Pitcairn, who has spent great deal
of money fighting vaccination, and
Secretary Cope, of the Anti-Vaccina-
ton league of America. Two regular
physicians, are also members The
other three are Ex-Governor Penny
packer, George Wharton Pepper, the
wel-known lawyer, and Emil Rosen-
berger, lawyer and f1nancier! At
least three of the lay members are
trained in weighing evidence"
The physician of the late King Ed
ward and others as eminent condemn
all anti-toxins in the most decisive
manner, and are openly decrying their
use as an imposition upon the affiict-
ed.

As Christmas approached, the usual

Simple wreaths they were, heaped

unusual with him. A prosperous
banker now in Albany, his mind sell

ed financial authority was Wen
deserved. Thoroughly upright in his

The total granite output of the
United States in 1910 was valued at
S2O.53 1858.
The bulletin on the GRANTEES of Con-
nectlcut (No. 4S4), was prepared in Co
operation between the United States
geological survey and the state geolog-
ical and natural history survey of Con-
nect1cut 1t is written in a style SO
clear and simple that even the seien-
tlf1c discussion is plain to the average
reader Indeed the description of the
formation of the granite traces the
geologic history of Connecticut from
the earliest geologic time down to the
present in so lucid a fashion that even
one who knows nothing of geology
can get clear conception of the stu
pendous changes that have been
wrought in the area now occupied by
the stefd and peaceful state of Con-
necticut.

LEARNING TO SAVE.

1t is gratifying to note that school
banks have been fnaugurated in Nor
wich-thar movement is on foot to
teach the boys to save money, which
means the making of thrifty and eco
nomical citizens.
1t requires training to use money
right and the larger the per cent Of
the citizens who learn this. the more
wealthy and enterprising the cemmun-
i.v will be in which they live.
The following from Frank Crane
upon this theme in the Woman's
World is worth impressing upon young
minds:
DO not over-estimate money.
Learn to appreciate money for its
real worth toward human happiness.
DO not buy anything until you
have the money to pay for it.
Never borrow.
Never lend. unless you can afford
to lose the sum you lend.
Never go on any ones note.
BE generous. but not a spend
thrift
BE careful, but not stingy.
Never join a company in having a
good time, going to an entertainment
or on an excursion, without knowing
first that you can afford it. And
when you join it be sure to pay your
share.
DO not accept gifts as a rule I'M
less you are able to return their
equivalent.
BE straight, scrupuIously exact and
honest, in all money matters.
Start a bank account.
Keep a little money in your pock-
ct, ard learn how not to spend it.
I'm all money dealings. insist on a
clear understanding before you enter
into any agreement"

man who can assure you the world is

man in high finance, or who handles
shady stocks is usually on the crest of

but how few people realize 1t. His
success depends upon his making you
believe something that isn't so and to
induce you to pay out good money that

The man who knows it all is not so
uncommon as we think, and the world
has never learned to treat him as il
should 1t is not evidence of good
sense or wisdom to try to convince him
he doesn't. 1t is easier and pleasant er
to let him think he does. If a mis-
guided chap enters upon the task of
showing the man who thinks he knows
it all that he doesn't. he soon discovers
that he is barking up the wrong tree
1t is an impossibility. That man en-
joys nothing so much as the conceit
that he is a wonderland he is one,
but not the special kind of a wonder
he thinks. To others his impenetrability
is the surprise--to himself his all-em-
bTacing ability. II he only could see
himself as others see him what a for
tunate thing it would be for him.

II is not pleasant to go to the store
for some reliable old brand to be told
they do not keep that now, but have
something just good. You may
have been surprised to find the dealer
does not know there is nothing just as
good as the brand that gives perfect
satisfaction. Som etimes he says he
has something better, when there can
be nothing better than the brand a
profitable customer is stuck on. What
makes him take a chance of disap-
pointing his customers, think you?
Well, he has something he buys for
less which he can sell for the same
price, or else he has had a difference
with the wholesaler and is showing
him he can get along without it-that
he can knock a good thing out of the
market. Self-interest and spite play
high-handed games in this world at
many points. They are not always to
be detected. but they work injustice
in hundreds of different ways 1t is
very properly called meanness.

more on their looks than their
ability always rank as one-priced help.
If girl has more of value on her hat
than in her COCO she'll find style is a
roor dependence to make a whole liv-

told gets crosser than sick monkey
and don't know what is the matter
with herself or the boss. If she is be-
hind a counter and knows when to
powder her nose and eat chocolates
she'll get on, otherwise she will not.

Strong and serviceabIe men in this
orld are not usually men who began
bad habits in their youth. The other
kind of men often think little vices are
near virtues and do not feel ashamed
of them. General Baden Powell tells
the Boy Scouts: Anyone who is in the
habit of drinking is not of the slightest
use for scouting. or for anything else.
The best war scouts do not smoke. be-
cause it Weakens their eyesight: it
sometimes makes them shaky and ner-
vous; 1t spoils their noses for smell

highland the glow of their pipe or
the scent of their tobacco carried on
them after dark gives them away to
watchful enemies. ,They are not such

smoking because he liked 1t. but be-
cause he thought it made him look
like a grOWn-up man. AS matter of

opinion of men in high places who are
victims OF the tobacco habit.
A great part of mankind does not
know what economy is. Since he never
earns enough to meet life's necessities
he cannot understand how il is posi-
bic to create a surplus. IL is easier to
preach economy than it is to practice

art of getting the best there is out of
all days-the best there is out of life.

Don't Set Out Seeding Trees.

"An agent tells me that the
only way to get long-'iyed trees
is to plant seedlings, that the
budded or grated trees fail
soon and gum, and tn J gum runs
down on the roots and kills
them" Planting seeding trees
will result in all sorts Of fruit,
and most of it very inferior.
When a man plants an orchard
of peaches or apples, or any sort
of fruit, he wants to know what
he will get, and the only way to
get the best sorts is to plant bud
ded or grated trees. A peach
tree gums because there are
borers in the roots. and there
will be as many in a Seeding tree
as in a budded one. and. of
course, they will kill the roots if
not taken out. Any man who

The Greatest Of AL Our Tasks.

Permanent soil improvement
we can not help believing-is
one Of the very safest business
es in which a farmer can engage
at this time, and especially is
this true in the South when pri-
ces for all farm products are al
ready high and likely to 20 high
er. Rich soils from which large
crops Of these high-priced prod
ucts may be secured at low cost
for cultivation are sure to ap-
preciate very rapidly in value in
the coming years. So we be-
lieve our idle time, at least, may
be well used in bringing about
all manner of soil Improvement.
The most satisfactory perma-
nent Improvement we have ever
made on our land has been I'm
derdrainage. It is an improve
ment that not only begins to pay
dividends on cost at once, but
continues to do so, without any
further expenditure, for gener-
atoms. Men all over the South
are beginning to awake to the
need of undertaking and the
reclaiming of swamp lands. The
man with the little rich creek
bottom is as much interested as
the owner of vast areas for he
realizes that where he only has
a little he must make that little
do its very best, and he knows
such land can not and does not
do its best-except during ex-
tremely dry seasons-with ordi-
nary surface drainage. L.
