lNDIcr THEM FOR PERJURY

District Judge John Robinson, of
Bell county, has done something<which
many people had wondered had not
been done long before. He has in.
structed the grand jury to ipdict for
perjury those people who are evidently
living. when they claim not to Ten:cm-
Der things required of them in the
grand Jury room or on the witness
stand. The false testimony and refusal
to testify lodges have been stink In
the nostrils of good government for
years. Many grand juries have de-
plored the condition but until now,
no known serious effort has been made
10 correct the evil. Such methods as
have been employed have been farcial
in their results. and the giving OF raise
testimony and of the convenient for
getting before the grand juries has be-
come so common that ii Is almost re-
garded as something beyond the pow
err of the law to reach. Right at hand
has lain the remedy, and 1t has not
been concealed. Any man, in dis
cussing the affair, mentions this I'M
tried remedy the first thing. why
iudges have not heretofore used the
weapon at hand is unknown, but that
at last it is to be applied justifies the
kjckers who have all along claimed
that II could be effectively used. Not
every case of deserved punishment can
be reached, but it is hoped that here
after there will not be such general
evasion of the grand jury probing that
men will laughingly boast of the i'm
potence of that body, and hold it rath'
er a creditable distinction to hoodwlhK
the officials charged with ferreting
out crime and prosecuting offenders.
Judge Robinson is to be congratu-
lated in having taken the bull by the
horns. Why he and other judges mad
not done so long ago, Is perhaps for
good reasons, but reasons when the
ordinary citizen has not been CONVEX
SAINT with. The application of the
remedy may not be so fruitful of good
as is hoped for, but it is a credit TO
the court to give it trial. especially
as the people at large have looked
to this method of procedure as the
very primer OF law enforcement pro-
ings.-Temple Telegram.

TESTING AN EGG.
Many Ways to Detect Stalensss Be-
sides Smell and Taste.


1t does not require a very discrim-
mating palate to detect an old egg
from n new one. says a correspondent
of the New York Sun. The former
has Il musty flavor that the latter
never has. and the mustiness may
range from slight faint to very
pronounced one. 1t is always notice
able In storage eggs.
If any one wishes to verify the judg-
ment of his palate, the following tests
may be used;
Lit is almost impossible to peel the
shell from fresh hard boiled egg
without having some Of the white
come away with it.
"a stale egg cannot be beaten to
a froth.
3.-When a fresh egg is broken into
a dish the yolk stands up and the
white, does not spread, whereas In a
stale egg the yolk lies 6at and the
white seems watery.
4.-The shell Of an egg after a GER
tain length of time loses its chalky
appearance and becomes shiny.
5.-The air space in the large end
of a newly laid egg is about half an
inch In diameter. and as the egg ages
this space grows larger. In storage
eggs 1t sometimes extends to one
fourth the length. An expert can very
closely approximate the age ofNan egg
by examining this space. This is
known as Gambling and is done by
holding the egg in a beam OF light.
A simpler test is to hard boil the egg
and notice the relative size Of the

THE WHITE RACE IN THE TROPICS

The\ evidence given by Doctor Cor
gas of the healthfulness, under proper
sanitation, of the tropics for white
men is supported by that of DR.. Victor
G. Heiser, chief of the health depart
ment in the Philippines. He finds the
death rate there among government
employees for the last year to be at
the astonishingly low figure of 5.S2
per thousand. Even after allowing for
the selected character of the employees
and the absence of young children and
very old people among them, this rate,
he says, is still lower than that OF the
civilian population of any other tropi-
cal country. He also adds that, in his
opinion, If the simple essential rules
of hygienic living were more closely
observed the death rate could be still
further lowered. 1t has been said that
Americans tend to become enervated
and lazy in tropical countries, but this
has been contradicted. 1t is asserted
by others that reasonable amount
of active exercise under proper con-
ditions is as essential to health IN
tropical as in temperate regions
These facts and views are not in agree
ment with those expressed by Wood
ruff and others, who hold that the
white race necessarily degenerates in
hot regions and is at its best only in
a cool and cloudy climate. However
this may be, it must be admitted that
the tropics have not been fairly tried
by the white race. In the past this
was impossible, as we have only lately
acquired some of the more important
data needed to guide us in our util-
ization of tropical regions. One point
NAV be mentioned, however, on which
there is still some difference of opin-
ion: this is the need of alcohol as
a protection against some of the dan
gers incurred in those regions. There
has been rather widespread notion,
which is still somewhat supported by
medical authority, that the moderate
use of alcoholic drinks is prophylac-
tic against some tropical diseases. The
best authorities, however, give tbs
notion little support. A recent Ger
man writer (RiegeD, summing up the
data from the military history of oper-
ations in tropical and subtropical coun-
tries. emphatically condemns the use
of alcohol in any expedition in tropical
regions. Many white men carry drink
ing habits into warm countries or ac-
uuire them there under the impression
that alcohol is defense against the
deteriorating effects of the climate.
With our more recently acquired
knowledge of tropical diseases many
of the old arguments in favor of its
use certainly fail The idea of the
general deterioration of the white race
in warm countries will possibly become
as obsolete as those formerly held
concerning many of the tropical dis
eases have become. Even the so-called
tropical neurasthenia may prove to be
avoidable. Then, if we realize our
sanitary ideals the pressure of popu-
lation. as Doctor Gorgas has pointed
out, will demand the full utilization
of these most productive portions of
the earth. journal of the American
Medical Association.
