Germany Is evolving an ever-in-
creasing number OF potato products,
and thus rapidly solving the problem
OF disposing OF the once enormous sur
plus OF this crop. A number OF es-
Adjustments In that country are now
turning out quantities OF dried pota-
toes, in various forms. for use in feed
ing cattle. According to recent con-
sular report. dried potatoes do not
cause the form of sickness that re-
suits from a diet Of raw potatoes.
Moreover, raw potatoes can be pre-
served for only limited lme, while
to boil the potatoes would impose upon
the stock-raiser more expense than
the circumstances justify. Oficial
tests have proved that the one-third
of strengthening food generally given
to horses in the form OF grain could
be replaced by dried potatoes. and
such animals would be kept ip excel
lent condition.

The dlmlnutlon Of smallpox must he
studied from two sides: the diminished
in.cctibility OF the population. which is
what vaccination Is capable OF ac-
complishng. and the diminished num-
Der of deaths. thereby adding years of
life to the mortality scale. In London
1t was figured that at least fifteen years
were added as compared with pre-vac-
cination times.
Smallpox before vaccination was
really a disease of childhood like diph-
iberia. scarlet fever and measles. Com
sequently the death rate fell heavily
upon children. 1t was rather uncom-
mon to escape smallpox in childhood
and but few adults had smallpox be-
cause immunity was acquired by an at
tack i'm childhood
The condition has been changed by
vaccination. and to-day the average agN
Of incidence of smallpox is from 90 t.
10 years. 1t Is exceptional to have it
among children.
In my twenty-five years connection
with thu New York city Health Depart
mont not single case of smallpox has
ever appeared in the public schools OF
this city. This H. astonishing when 1t is
considered that over 100000 pupils at
tend these schools annually. Compul-
sorry vaccination can be held solely re-
sponslble for this splendid achievement
Those who oppose vaccination are. in
my opinion, and this Is formed from
intimate personal experience in field
work, of several classes. There are
those who oppose all that is not in ac-
cordancc with tradition. They never
inquire into the subject. Their objec-
tions are ingra med.

under another title) demonstrates in
every instance individual conviction.
This is aboundantly demonstrated by
The fact that whenever there Is ru-
NOR of the prevalence of smallpox
or an impending epidemic Of smallpox
there never fails Ia bc an abundance of
application for vaccination from all
classes OF people.
The failure To secure immunity by
being duly vaccinated and by repeating
the process, as Is known to be neces-
sary. l. one Of the most fragrant acts
of oversight or Indifference that a hui
man being can be capable Of.
Within two years after the immortal

slow and uncertain. To-day with our
wireless, our telephone, our cable and
our indefatigab.e press such a develop
ment would not create any wonder, but
100 years ago ii was nothing short of
amazing. There Is to-day not a national
government but has some law on its
books with view toward bringing
about the general adoption of the prac-
tice of vaccination.
In all of my studies OF this subject l
have always tried to grasp both sides
of the question. ! have striven with all
my might to be fair and impartial, to
investigate with an open mind and to
exercise an impartial and fair judgment
upon all controverted points of the
procedure, and ! have spared myself no
pains Ia arrive at the truth.

fact they fall into line; hut IL not these
weddings likewise consider il the
proper course to oppose the proposition
with all their might. Such people pro-
TESS to think for themselves: but really
do they think? To argue with such
persons is a waste not only Of time but
of labor
There is another class with sinister
motives-sometimes mercenary. sad to
relate. To gain their object they will
suppress the truth, they will distort
facts. and they will eXaggerate without
regard to Truth or a hereafter.
II Is from these that the word dan
ger" Is most often heard in connect ion
with Vaccination. The real danger lies
in listening to them. Unfortunately
they find ready hearers and imitators,
especially among the very poor and I'M
informed.
There is another class of anti-vacci-
nationlsts, the Illogical who will listen
to hut one side. They say they are
open minded and start the argument
by showing that vaccinated person
can get smallpox and from this by false
reasoning they infer that vaccination
does not prevent smallpox.
Where to place medical men who
oppose vaccination Is indeed q difficult
problem Such exist. A notorious doc
tor of Prague. a person with an inner
ent art of self-advertising developed to
the point of perfection, was of this class.
This doctor stated that vaccination not
only did not prevent smallpox but ac-
tually favored the development of small
poX I'm children.
After all the real question for. the
opponents Of vaccination to consider is
whether vaccination as protector
against smallpox has established for
itself a claim to our confidence or
whether it would be to the general ad-
vantage Of mankind to abandon its
practice. Is II an operation so harm
less as to commend itself to our ac-
ceptance or is II encompas sed with
dangers that counterbalance its BEN
efits?
The only reply Is an appeal to the
facts.
The experiences Of the past 100 years
are certainly all sufficient for a simple
| answer II these results are compar, d
with the same experiences, of the 100
years prior to the introduction of vacci-
nation with its 100000 persons killed
and a similar number rendered blind and
disfgured for life.
Death Is the worst evil that can be-
fall us, but there Is one evil that is
as near to death and in our opinion
equally bad and more to be feared and
that is blindness.
