APPLIED HYGIENE
IN PHILIPPINES
Farther Advanced Than in This
Country.
METHODS VERY DIFFERENT.
Parents Garry Out Instructions Of
Health Office Because OF the
Schools Open While
Epidemic Is Raging.

Buffalo, y. Y-Practical and applied
hygiene is much farther advanced in
the Philippines than in the United
States, according to DR.. Allen ]. Nc
Laughlin, surgeon of the United States
Public Health Service, who was one
of the speakers at the sessions of the
fourth international congress ON school
hygiene.
In this country" said DR.. Nc
Mclaughlin, I'VE are prone to over
look the enormous influence of school
children upon the hygiene of the
home. The children of poor, ill-edu-
Gated parents are often the inter
mediary through which the simple
gospel of hygiene and disease pre-
yention reaches the parents. In the
Philippines, in many instances, it IS
only because of the children that the
parents carry out the instructions of
the health officer.
With an epidemic of contagious dis
ease existing there is a tendency in
most communities to close the schools.
In the Philippines, on the contrary, it
is the policy of the bureau to keep
schools open because of their extraor-
binary value in teaching the precepts
of disease prevention"
Open-air schools and open school
rooms was the general topic of the
day, and it was practically the
unanimous opinion of the delegates
that children in rooms with windows
wide open, even during the winter
months, are UNNECESSARILY more
healthful and make more rapid prog
ress in their studies than under other
conditions.

PREMIER ASQUITH
IS ASSAULTED
Statesman Roughly Handled BY
StaIwart Suffragettes.
ATTACKED ON GOLF LINKS.
Prime Minister'S Daughter Goes
To Fathers Assistance
and Uses Militant
Tactics

Elgin, Scotland.-The British Prime
Minister was the object of an attack
in which his chivalry restrained him
from adequately defending himself
While he was golfng with his daugh-
ter on the Lossiemouth links two stall
wart suffragettes, who had quietly
come up TO the green, sprang at him
suddenly.
They knocked off his hat, grabbed
him by the clothing and dragged him
some distance over the ground.
The Prime Minister bore his rough
treatment complacently and refrained
from using force to make them desist,
while they impaired to him their opin-
ion that he was a scoundrel and a
past master in the arts of Ananias.
Miss Asquith, who was little dis
lance off when the suffragettes
pounced on her father, ran to his as
sistance and proceeded to apply mill
tant methods TO the militants.
The battle waged for only few
moments when two detectives rushed
up and with difficulty released Mr..
AsqUith from the clutches of the suf-
fragettes.
The detectives took the woman to
the club lodge, where, after listening
to various opinions Of themselves
hardly less complimentary than those
they had given to the Premier, they
were taken in a motorcar and driven
to the Elgin Police Station to the ac-
compartment of much booing and hiss
ing and repeated cries of Let us get
at them; we will duck them in the
sea"
At the station the women refused to
give their names or addresses.

GAMBOR'S OPINIONS OF
WILSON PROPOSALS

That President Wilson's imputation
that no progress is being made tow
ard peace in Mexico is not true.
That the proposal of an armistice
Is impossible, because nations do not
propose armistces with bandits. To
grant an armistice would be to recoq-
nize the beIIieerency of the rebels.
That the request that General
Huerta should not be a candidate for
the Presidency is strange and un-
warranted"
That the election of General Huerta
was legal.
That the American proposals are
"humiIiating and unusual"
That Mexico's Ambassador should
be received in Washington.
Washington. - Declaring against
armed Intervention, promising abso-
lutte neutrality, warning Mexico to
protect Americans, but urging them
TO leave Mexico as soon as possible,
President Wilson read a long mes
sage before both houses of Congress
on the Mexican situation.
The President stated his views at
the appointed hour despite the fact
that the Embassy at Mexico City ad-
vised the State Department that Pro
visional President Huerta was send
ing special message to Envoy Lind
at Vera Cruz for transmission to
Washington.
The Presidents words, though con-
ciliatory in tone, nevertheless, are
firm regarding the situation as he
sees it. He processes great friend
ship of this nation for the Mexican
people, but declares that the provi-
sional government utterly has failed
in bringing about normal conditions.
Not only that, President Wilson
says, but the territory in some sort
controlled by the provisional presi.
dent has grown smaller, not larger.
Huerta Rejection Sharp in Terms.
Accompanying the Presidents mes
sage was the reply of the Huerta gov
eminent rejecting in toto, and in
rather curt terms, the American pro-
posals.
The answer was written by Foreign
Minister Gamboa, and addressed to
Special Envoy Lind, whom he re-
peatedly addresses as Mr.. Confden-
tial Agent without once referring to
him by name. Henor Gamboa suggest.
ed the following alternative policy for
the United States:-
Reception of Mexican Ambassador
in Washington.
That the United States send a new
Ambassador TO Mexico without re-
straints.

in every way, taking care Of every
possible contingency. The only thing
needed is the settler, and he will be
rewarded richly by establishing his
home there. 1t is the intention OF
the Settlers Agency to assist in
establishing an Agricultural Develop
ment District in this part at least OF
Chehalis county, making it one of
visions of the new law, just as soon
as a few more settlers are located
there.
The problem of settling the cut
over agricultural lands of the North
west has received the serious thought
and study of some of the leading men,
as we'll as several organizations. Like
many other things of history, it is
belittled and ride uled by many other
wise fair-minded people. The open
ing of these ufhoccupied lands in
Washington and Oregon to settlement,
at low average prices and on easy
terms, and in Washington under the
provisions of the new law, offers a
field for immigration and colonization
that can be made as enticing to the
homeseeker, be he east or west. as
was the taking of government home
steads in earlier days.
This class of land, that can be
bought for prices ranging from $40 to

800 per acre, with perhaps few dol
lars more for first class bottom lands,
is better and cheaper than homestead
ing, as the settler can get title with
out lot of red tape, and being hound
ed by government agents put on his
trail by someone who wishes to con-
test his claim and in some manner
gain possession of it for himself.
