DEATHS FROM ToADsTooLs.

Be sure you are right before going ahead is advice of great importance which most people have received at
 some time or other. It applies to a great many things, so much so that | 1t has a protective value in being re- membered for daily use. By its con sistent practice much trouble and many lives can be saved, as the city of Baltimore has reason to believe from the number of deaths which have occurred there from the eating l'of poisonous toadstools for mushrooms. Such mistakes are by no means un- common. They result from over-confi- dence and the lack of proper precau- ton. Too many set themselves up as judges of eatable fungi without hav- ing the proper knowledge to distiri- guish the good from the bad, and thereby take risks and impose them upon others in reckless manner.
 That mushrooms provide a delight full dish cannot be disputed, but when they are gathered. cooked and served, without the absolute assurance that they do not mean sickness or death, 1t is far better to forego such pleas ure. Unless one is an expert upon such an important question and is doubly sure of being right, self denial, which means self preservation, should be easy. Danger turks in enough se- cluded places without being invited in such a manner. The lesson of the poisonous toadstools is as old as the hills, but 1t seems necessary for it to bob up about so often for educational purposes, even though it calls for the sacrifice of those who are willing to take the chance. It is an unneces- sary waste of life.

It IS "a Violation of personal liberty. or therapeutic procedure extant that so appeals to the common sense of mankind as to command universal consent. If a sick person is taken to twenty different doctors, his state diagnosed by each, and the twenty will be found that no two will agree. This is no exaggeration; it has been tried and proved out There will be no agreement in diagnosis; there will
 be no agreement in treatment
 Dr. l.. H. Gulick. connected with the Russell Sage Foundation. says, "a rather careful examination of the re- sults Of medical examination of all cities reporting in the United States, makes it clear that the hopes of those who have been defending medical in- spection have not yet been realized to any great extent Children have not been promoted with greater fre- quency and steadiness, which earlier advocates of medical inspection be- lieved would occur.
 Medical inspection inevitably tends | toward compulsion. To prove this have only to quote the words of those interested in the work
 Dr. J. B. McFatrick, when president | of the Chicago Board of Education, 1 said that not only should the children | be examined but that a teacher or truant officer should go with the chil- dren to the home to see that the rec l ommendation is carried out--a phrase | which looks much like cornpulsiorl Dr. McFatrick Is proprietor of mucr | advertised quack medicine called "Muvine'.

However it might appear, maintain ing neutrality is not the easiest task of government.

LEAVING MEXICO.

Getting out of Mexico isn't as easy
 as it might seem. It isn't case of
 simply pulling up stakes rolling tents and equipment and sailing for home.
 There are some other important things
 to be considered and as a result our
 troops are not likely to be out of
 Vera Cruz as early as expected.
 During our control of the port, the collection of the customs and the ad-
 ministration of the municipality af- fairs have been conducted as if the
 Mexicans were in control except that the balance above expenses has been retained in trust. There has not been deducted therefrpn the good sized ex- pense to which this country has been, with the result that about 8 million awaits transfer to the present govern Inent. Such could be easily accom- piishedl but for the fear which has been expressed by the people of Vera Cruz that the stewardship of the American forces will not be accepted and that Carranza will proceed to
 reassess taxes and revenue duties, and that the Vera Cruz residents who have paid as if there had been no change in it's control will be required to pay again.
 Such doesn't indicate a tremendous amount of confidence in the Carranza regime by the people in that city. and it therefore remains for this country to reach an understanding with Car ranza, that no disorder may result from the part which it was considered necessary to take. Carranza should
 be thankful that a million has been protected for the republic but from the feeling in Vera Cruz it is going to take more than a few weeks to live down past Mexican business meth 1 Iods

JUDGE HoLcoMs,s .AcoaprANcE


 It is impossible to read the letter by Judge Marcus H. 5olcomb, in which he accepts the nomination for governor of the state, without being impressed by the type Of man who has been placed before the electorate of Connecticut by the republican con- vention.
 Judge Hofconb in a concise and dignified manner makes 1t clear that he stands ready to render whatever service to the state he is called upon to do, but only with the distinct ur- derstanding that 1t cannot interfere with his obligated and non-polittcal duty as a judge in the same coul- monwea1th, as long as that appoint ment lasts. It is duty first which prompts this attitude and it is this characteristic of the man which stands out throughout his entire career.
 It is the best of evidence as to the office seeking the man, and a man into whose keeping the voters of Con- necticut can well afford to place the responsibilities attached to the chief executive of the state. It means that Judge Holcomb has not sought the nomination and is not seeking election for his personal satisfaction, but hay ing come to him through a recognition of his qualifications he stands ready, the voters of Connecticut so deciding, to assume the office and administer it as the high office demands in the interest of all the people of Connecti- cut. That he has no inclination to shirk the responsibilities with which he is invested now, for his own bene- fit later. indicates the stamp of Mar GUS H. Holcomb. and it cannot fail to be recognized.

FIRE PREVENTION,

That the efforts in behalf of fire prevention have only just been start sd is indicated by the statement that he fire record for the year 1913 in his country shows a property loss of 1903, ,763,550. Even though there has been steady growth and a continual increase in fireproof construction, to lay nothing of the widespread move nent in behalf of greater care of prop irty as a valuable precaution against tres and conf1agrations, the improve nent is but slight when compared with the fire losses for the precedina en years.

Resistance to this outrage was s1 vigorous that the school board reiuct- antly did away with examination so far as the school was concerned. but still insisted on for those who entered the gymnasium.
 Iris but a few months since the so- ciety of anti viyisectionists uttered a protest against the inhuman treatment of our dumb animals which was heard the length and breadth of the civil ized world, today, the dog lovers oi this country are voicing their indigna- ton in no uncertain tones when the health commission of New York city orders all dogs whether leashed oI loose to wear muzzles.

 He was told so by several sorts and sizes of ''hystericaP' fellows. He is still running, at about the same rate of speed.
 Of course, it is the right of every man to seek to be preferred for public honor; but in every instance but one can be chosen for each position out of a field of many.
