LONDON, September 14-England and

sympathetic and generous treatment of
American tenants, who are ever ready to
spend their dollars in the Improvement of

the American invasions many famous Old

For instance, Mrs. Harry Payne Whit

large parties at Holwick, a fine estate
Earl OF. Strathmore, has brought her ex-

by DR.. Goltman of Memphis. Tenn.
The results of vaccination against
smallpox in Siam will be given. The
campaign against vaccination that has
been waged in this country and Europe
has largely predicated it's fight upon the
statement that the decrease In the num-
Der of cases of smallpox has been due to
to vaccination. One who has Travelled
through Central America, where sanitary
conditions are more primitive than they
were in the United States or England a
century and a half ago, readily can see
that it is vaccination and not improved
sanitation that has served to rid these
countries of one of the most terrible
scourges OF humanity. What is true In
these countries is true in Siam. and the
paper of DR.. Paul G. Wooley on that
subject in view of the worldwide con-
troyersy will be one of the most inter-
esting of the congress.
Another great international controversy
which will come up is the relation of bo-
vine tuberculosis to

thorities, including DR.. Koch, the discov-

asserted that one cannot contract the
disease by drinking the milk of a tu-
bercular COW. The later thought upon
the subject has been contrary to that con-
clusion and the whole problem is likely
to get an airing before the congress.
State and municipal hygiene and their
problems will occupy ten sessions or the
sixth section of the congress. Among
the speakers will be Col. w. {. Gorgas,
chief sanitary officer of the Panama
canal, who viii tell of the magnificent

the entire attention of one of the sec
tions of the congress. It is Impossible, IN
an article like this, to indicate all OF the
remarkable addresses which will be de-
Hyered before the congress, but what mas

Mans first great invention was the
scheme whereby a vocal sound stands
for a specific thought. Then language
was born.
The second great invention and the
greatest one in the world yet, was
making an arbitrary mark stand for a
vocal sound.
This was the secret af Cadmus, the
Phoenician, who invented the alpha
bet
Twenty-six little crooked marks
called letters, and seven punctuation
marks-this is the equipment of d
writer. OF course, it must be taken
for granted that the man has thoughts.
But what thought is, no one yet has
ever attempted to say.
A book is the utilization of the Cad
mus invention. AS we grow in spirit
and mentality we want fewer books
and better books. Books are not so
much to teach us as to suggest and
make us think for ourselves.
Reading is self-revelation. You like
that author who reflects your own
thoughts. In the book you discover
yourself. Only the sophomore mind
reads much and delves and dives into
bookish depths.
Small boys think it great accom-
plishment to be able to see under wa
