cation Of the spread Of typhoid fever
In the nUited States military camps

charges against this tantalizing insect.
Every far-reaching probe into sanitary

are dependent thereon, that the Ques-
tons heer raised be authoritattvely

evidence appears to be complete.
Dr. Torrey. Of the Loomis laboratory
OF New York, has attempted to supply
facts on this question. He has exam
iraed the flies caught in the densely
populated parts Of New York City dur
ing a number Of months. Both the
bacteria occurring in the intestine and
those from the surface Of the insects
were investigated. The flies examined
in April and early in June We're CON-
paratively free from dangerous pac-
terra. AS the summer season advanced
high bacterial counts began to appear
and also an abrupt change in the char
acter of the bacteria The record
counts came a, the end OF the two
weeks of excessive heat in July
Some idea fthe number Of organ
isrns that single insect may carry is
indicated by the figures $40 to i,iuu,vVT
for the surface contamination, and TO-
600 TO $4,000. 900 for the intestinal BAG

ried on in the crowded city, where sew

wAklNe THE UNIONS WORD coed,

The failed strike in Chicago is vic
tory of union labor. The strike against
the newspapers was in violation of con-
tracts made and agreed to. The action
of the national stereotypers in eNclud-
ing the striking contract breakers and
the vote of the typographical union
against syn1pa thetic assistance Is
simply proclamation that unions
which enter into contracts for a term
must hold to their agreements or SET,
outside.
The essence of all mutual service is
the contract. Unionism has been many
years getting TO the point where en-
ploying agencies and organizations are
willing TO contract with labor as an
organization. A contract Is scarcely
such when ii is not to be adhered to ny
one party as by the other When the
national organizations insist upon the
integrity of the contract they are es-
tablishing the integrity of labor union
ism and gaining approval Of unionlsn.
4 contract is as ironclad as prom
issory- note To repudiate it is TO XII
credit Cnionism must stand for its
contracts or fall by the Reputation OF
its agreements The Chicago outcome
is evidence that union contract is
q business proposition.

flesh We can If we will be soldiers of
the cross-not always doing the best
thing, but never long separated from
desire to be loyal. to be true. to the
leadership of the spirit-the conscience
quickened by the love Of God who is
the light. the truth, and the way.
Evil is persistent in the search for
fellowship. and there is scarcely an
end of opportunity The sheepfold
has the appearance of loneliness. and
the great world is suggestive Of liberty
and the delights Of freedom. But
under the peril of hungry wolves, with
their red tongues flaring in the dark
ness. the fold, with its peace and Sc
curity. appears to us as the dearest.
sweetest place we know.
What We are to recognize is that in
and of ourselves we are weak: that we
are easily deceived; that flowers ap-
pear for a time on a way that leads To
destruction, and that we are in need
of a shepherd whose voice we know
and who has vision and is true. We
need all the strength We can summon
in support Of our lives, and therefore
we need the association OF those fight
ing like battle. We deceive ourselves
and that we know the way and can go
alone The forks of the road are
never far apart, and the signboard
may not be worthy Of our faith
Moreover, We are given to carelessness
and We are apt to choose as fancy may
suggest. We need the leadership of
wisdom and the example OF experience
In the matter Of a pleasant SMILE when
1t suits his purpose. the devil is beyond
successful competition.
If we are satisfied with ourselves we
are content in the company Of folly
We are to be thankful for what we
have and for the opportunities open to
us. but to be satisfied with ourselves
is the proof of sin. One thing that is
good for the soul we shrink from, and
that is confession. Sometimes we
struggle to hide our faults under COM
plant Of other people. We are hes,
qualified to criticise ourselves, but we
do not put in all our time doing the
things for which We are best qualified
We bottle ourselves up and add a
stphon to provide squirt against ouI
ineighbors. We might well be in bet.
ter business. It is rarely true that we
know as much about our neighbors
and the work falling to their hands as
we assume to think we do. Sometimes
we expose our own faults in theil
name.
What we have need Of is Fellowship
that broadens vision and serves t.
keep us in the right way-to make us
kindly, to make US charitable ant
that serves to keep US humble ant
strong in the simplicity and beauty o,
the spirit.
III We say we have no sin. we de-
ceive ourselves. and the truth is mo-
in u.s.

conclusion that the clue to follow was

brought upon the legislature; public
funds were poured out in increasing
the states facilities for the form Of ed
