And Tom perforce fell silent.
though he continued to seethe and
rage inwardly.
March, you" ordered Callis's curt
voice, the command being emphasized
by a vigorous push that sent him
stumbling helplessly forward. The
firm hands held him. however. and he
moved through the tempest and the
night under their guiding impulse.
To Tom the adventure was taking
on the aspect OF a nightmare. All
sense of direction was lost; not an.
other word was spoken by any Of the
incongruous party. He tripped over
distractions and splashed through
puddles, and now and then stepped
unwittingly into depressions with
jar that clicked his teeth together
and wrenched his neck until his head
ached. Round and round his captors
seemed to be leading him-they had
long ago turned aside from the road,
he was positive; his brain whirled
and he staggered drunkenly. Only
once did he attempt resistance, and
stopped abruptly when his helpless
condition demonstrated the futility OF
any such move on his part.
The wind had died down, but the
rain still poured a torrent and the
thunder rumbled and rolled SO that
all the night was full Of the sound.
After what seemed an interminable
time. Toms feet collided, with a hol-
low reverberation. against a wooden
step. He mounted three OF them, and

Men and Women

Now that the General Federation of Women's
Clubs and the National Education Association
have both endorsed woman suffrage, the country
is beginning to have visions of female descent
on all the professions. Shall women be able to
take their places alongside the men in law, medi-
cine, engineering, politics, etc.? Are women fit
ted by nature to hold their in the, strenuous
ly competitive conditions of modern business?
Those who seek an answer to these up-to-the-
minute questions will find much mental pabulum
in the little book issued by Prof. E. L. Thorndke
Individuality" In few pages of pithy par
agraphs, he sums up all that science has to say
regarding the differences between the two sexes
with the result found in the following epitome:
There is little difference in originality be-
tween men and women. probably over third
of women are more original than the least origi-
nal man."
In religion there is far less difference than is
popularity supposed about third of the men
are more religious than the average woman"
Men more interested in things and their
mechanism than women are. Women are more
interested in persons and their feelings than
men. Men depart from the average more than
women do hence more often attain eminence but
woman's average holds up close to mans. TAX
ing everything into consideration, it is as high
more vigorous in movement, more athletic and
noisy, more INDEPENDENT less sensitive to slight
outside stimuli, less efficient in perceiving small
details, often color-blnd, trifle less quick
to memorize, less shy and conscientious, lazier
and fonder of games of skill, mental or bodily,
less emotional, less eager for change, quick in
recovery from grief, and less impulsive.
"Sex though real influence, is not so great
an influence in making individuals differ as has
been supposed. Many traits are practically unin-
fluenced by it. The variations within one sex are
not very much less than the variations amongst
| men and women together
| From this is would appear that after all there
is little need to be startled at womans invasion
| of mans world.' 1t is as much hers by inherent
right as his and it would seem from Prof Thorn
| dikes analysis that can perform many
| functions now undertaken by men without jeop-
ardizing that feminine quality which we call
| womanliness.

Sanitation

Every disease has definite cause. One of
the chief aims of medical science is to discover
these causes Some diseases are due to causes
within the individual; vices wrong habits OF eat
ing and drinking etc. Others are due to causes
that lie outside the individual, such as poisoned
food infected water or air, etc.
Sanitation is that branch of medical science
which seeks to discover the causes OF disease out
side the individual and prevent, control or eradi
cate them.
This idea of doing away with the cause OF
disease is modern. The old way was to be salts
fed with an effort to CURE. The new way is to
endeavor to PREVENT.
Since the majority of causes of disease lying
outside the individual are of a bacterial nature,
sanitation is chiefly concerned with disease
germs In endeavors to discover what germs are
harmful to human beings and to do away with
conditions that make it possible for these germs
ito grow.
For this reason, the sanitarian is the enemy
of foul water, dirty milk impure air, open man.
ure boxes, rickety garbage cans, open wells, out
door closets, splitting on the streets, polluted
streams, rats, flies, mosquitoes etc. These things
permit disease germs to thrive or they scatter
them about and thus become the causes of
many fatal diseases.
It is because persons may swallow disease
germs with food that the sanitarian is so anx-
ious to see to it that only pure food is sold.
Some persons fight public sanitation and look
upon sanitary measures as fads and fancies.
This is because they are ignorant.
They don't believe in germs. This is because
they have never looked at them through the mi
croscope and have never read what the scientists
have discovered about them. There is no more
question about the existence and activities Of
germs than there is about the existence and &C.
Invites of horses and cows. Those who deny
that germs exist are in the same class with the
old gentleman who exclaimed, after looking at a
giraffe half the day, There amt no sech ami
NAL"
They are not familiar with the achievements
of sanitation. They don't know how Manila was
transformed from a living grave into one of the
healthiest cities in the hemisphere. They don't
know how smallpox and typhoid were eradicated
