uNKNowN BUT COMMON eHRpas

(FroIn the Worlds Work
 Measles and chick enpox are the rnsnonplaces of every household, but their germs have eluded the most eIab- lorate attempts at detection. Back in the 18th century Jenner conquered smallpox with vaccination. but the most industrfous search for 30 years has disclosed no trace of the small -pox nicrobe.
 Medical men deal with an unknown agent today. just as Jenner did I % years ago Reed and Carroll showed us how to conquer yellow fever; no one, however. has succeeded in i'm prisoning any micro-orga of the disease. Scarlet fever, o14e of the most contagious diseases known. has also successfully hidden it's secret. Pasteur. who discovered way to con troI hydrophobia, searched patiently for it's organism, but did not find it. Typhus fever. the scourge of Amer ican cities 50 years ago, still prevails in attenuated form. but no one has isolated it's agent Trachoma, a eis- ease introduced chiefly by immigra- ton, has also so far concealed it's def mite cause.

 Are two pounds of soap sufIicfent to keep a man clean for year? A recent return shows that this is the amount per unit consumed in Russia The list of soap-using countries is headed by the United Kingdom, with 21 pounds per individual; the United States comes next; Russia is last. Ev- en if the soap bill is a true test of a peoples personal cleanliness it is an invfdious task to tabulate the dirtiness of nations, says the Pail Mall Gazette
 Yet it is difficult to keep away from the international aspect. As to Ger many that great country is we'll up in the list. So is Spain Not so Italy or France Holland is quite high; Sweden quite low.

 Westermarck, the philosopher of human habits, says that man, like many other animals, is naturally en-. dowed with a certain tendency toward cleanliness He also says that man is. naturally inclined to fdleness, which explains the stories of tramps who, on being bathed at the workhouse, shed layers Of what seem to be skins but are actually shirts. Lord Kanes was of the opinion that industry is the greatest promoter of cleanliness. and contrasts the clean and industrious Hollander with his dirty and lazy feI-. low-countrynlen. He wrote, bes it un- derstood, in 1751.
