SAFETY IN CROWDS.

In an entertaining article IN the
publication issued by the state bOrd of
health of Maryland, DR.. John Fulton
cracks on the head the old theory
that all of the health is out in the
country, and that the city dweller is
the one chiefly exposed to disease dan
gers.
Taking the typhoid recordys of 20
states, DR.. Fulton arranged them in
order of their percentage of rural pop
ulation. and found that the highest
typhoid rates occurred in the least
urban, or in other words, the most
rural states. He also examined some
400 counties which had no cities as
large as 10000, and found that the
less populous counties have the higher
typhoid rates.
Typhoid fever is a filth disease,
everywhere and always caused by
swallowing human filth" he said. The
chance of infection is greater under
rural conditions, because the rural way
of disposing human filth is to let il lie
on the ground where il has the best
chance of coming back into the human
mouth as a contamination OF food or
drink. Under urban conditions. human
filth is generally disposed of in less
dangerous ways, and under the best
urban conditions, is disposed of in a
perfectly safe manner. 1t is, therefore,
a general rule in this country, that the
chances Of contracting typhoid fever
are highest in the smallest cOmmuni-
ties, and lowest in the largest. -

McGinn, of Portland, ore! He's got

fraternity
I'm going TO smash this thing of
precedent every time 1 get a chance
and every time ii will do any good, "
says his honor, McGinn. ITO do
something just because someone else
has done it is nonsense" he adds.
Precedent has stalked through our
courts and legislatures until it has
become a bugbear and I'm going to
put on armor and use heavy artillery
against it whenever 1 meet it."
Go to it, McGinn! OF course. you'll
make some mistakes but rejuvenated
justice has got to creep before she
can run and hog-tied by precedent.
as now, she occasionally get nowhere.
Civilization, such as it is. is due TO
the fact that some old time McGinn
smashed the precedent of climbing

eating the sabre-toothed tiger raw.

SCIENTIST REPLIES.

To The Editor of The South Bend
News-Times:
Dear Sir:
Those who have not given time and
effort to a careful investigation of the
teachings and practice of Christian
Science, sometimes say things about
IT publicly, through their lack of in
formation, that misrepresent it. This
probably explains why the Rev. A. L.
Thomas, in a sermon reported in a
recent issue of your paper, included
Christian Science among other things
named by him as denying the funda-
mentals of the Bible.
Christian Science declares abSo-
lutely that God is the supreme and
Infinite Creator; that man is, in real
lty, Gods image and likeness; that
the universe including man. is gov
erned by the law of God; and il finds
this teaching in the very first chapter
of the Bible. Christian Science in
sists that the Bible teaches spiritual
law and spiritual fact because God is
Spirit and THE true worshiper shall
worship the Father in spirit and in
truth" (Jesus); and through spirit
ual understanding Christian Science
proves that "All is infinite Mind
(God) and it's infinite manifestation"
(Science and HEALTH Christian Sci
ence also insists that God is omni-
present, omnipotent, omniscient
Truth, Life and Love, and puts this
teaching into practice.
The Christian Science teaching re-
garding Christ Jesus is set forth very
clearly in its fourth Church tenet
I'VE acknowledge Jesus atonement
as the evidence of divine. efficacious
Love, unfolding mans unity with God
through Christ Jesus the Way-show-
er; and we acknowledge that man is
saved through Christ. through Truth,
Life and Love as demonstrated by
the Galilean Prophet in healing tho
sick and overcoming sin and death"
(Science and Health, p. 497)
IT will be seen from the foregoing
that. instead of denying the funda-
mentals of the Bible Christian Sci
ence emphasizes them and makes
them useful every day of our lives.
Christian Science says to its critics,
"Shew me thy faith without thy
works and I will shew thee my faith
by my works" Games 2-1S)
Christian Science has healed all
manner of sin and every disease
known to mankind through divine
Mind, the same Mind that was in
Christ Jesus, and claims that these
signs following are the testimony
Of its accurate Interpretation and I'M
derstanding of the Scriptures accord
ing to the test of understanding Civ
Ell by the Master, He that believeth
on me the works that l do shall they
do also" (Jesus.)

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

obscure women, certainly not in the

Why, then, "feminism"? 1t is un-

men OF the day for the errors or
omissions of their forbears. Such a
course reminds of the negro preacher
who was invited to a strange pulpit.
Owing to inclement weather he was
greeted by a congregation of only
three or four, whom he roundly be-
rated for their lack of consideration
and piety. Whereupon one of the
congregation arose and said: Rev

Women may not be given due
credit for work in the past in the up

Of today, who are rapidly granting
them either absolute equality or su-
perior privileges?

we not at least have some sort of

now pending in congress it is pro-
posed 10 license druggists and others
as dealers in narcotic drugs This fea-
ture OF the law will establish a pre-
eedent that should make il easy for
retail druggists TO secure an extension
OF the classification and provide for
class OF dealers in alcohol and mar
cotic drugs, with the requirement that
dealers in this class keep a record
sufficient TO show the amount OF al
cohol or alcohol containing drugs
purchased.
A provision Of this kind would
serve 10 locate all dealers in alcohol
and alcoholic liquids for medicinal or
mechanical purposes, would suffice to
class them apart from dealers selling
alcoholic liquids for beverage pur-
poses. would practically preclude the
sale Of alcohol for beverage purposes

would afford to officials in prohibition

nifty TO enforce this style of legislation
in way hitherto impossible.
