Facts About Cornstarch
Valuable Information Regarding This
Nest Important Food
Product.

In a little cook book compiled by
Emma Churchman Hewitt, formerly
associate editor of the Ladies' Home
Journal, and a recognized authority
on culinary subjects, there is to be
found most interesting information on
the subject of cornstarch. 1t appear
that many otherwise experienced
cooks have a very limited knowledge
Of the possibilities contained in this
delicious food product-with the re
suit that where many cooks use corn
starch merely in the preparation of
a few puddings and desserts, a thor
ough knowledge of its possibilities
would result in their often using it a
dozen times a day in all kinds of
dishes.
1t is important, therefore, that
housekeepers should familarize them
selves with this most useful cooking
ingredient-with a view to enlarging
the scope of their cooking, as well as
improving it.
1t should be borne i'm mind, however
that there is great difference in
COrnstarch- the best results can
not be obtained with inferior brands
Mrs. Hewitt states that her correspon-
dence with housekeepers all over the
country showed conclusively that those

War and Christianity.

Burlington Post: A general OBJ
servance of the teachings OF Jesus
would end wars. Christianity has
not failed; 1t stands ready to confer
salvation on the race no less than
upon individuals. But man has fail
ed, failed miserably, has proved him
self a weakling, in his refusal to ac-
cept the plan OF life which contains
so much for him and means SO much
to him Providence has offered man
way Of life, rule of conduct, that
is all sufficient for his needs. If he
would but accept and follow it then
the world would soon go on to some
thing grander and better than yet
has been dreamed of. But while man
recognizes the wisdom of the phil
osophy of Jesus, he has failed to
apply it to his daily life. He leaves it
out of his politics, out of his. govern
ment, out of his diplomacy, out Of his
religion. He knows the path, but
persistentfy follows another path.
But looking at the case nationally
and disinterestedly it Is easy to see
that the christian religion mas not
failed. 1t is man who has failed The
christian religion is ready and ade-
quate, whenever man is willing ID
cease being a devil and apply himself
to better things than scientific greed

ditions tetanus develops within ten
days from the receipt Of an injury or
the time of incubation. The fact that
in the few recorded instances follow
ing vaccination 1t did not develop UNI
til nearly twenty-one days after the
treatment Indicates that incubation
took place subsequent to the vaccina-
ton.
The investigator concludes that
where tetanus manifests itself. infec-
ton is received by contamination OF
the vaccination wound in the same
manner as the infection of any other
surgical wound, and that with the or
binary precautionary measures there
is not the slightest fear Of the develop
ment OF the disease.

VACCINATION AND TETANus.

Interesting scientific studies dealing
with the relation of tetanus to vacci-
nation were recently completed by
Director John F. Anderson of the hy-
giene laboratory, U. S. public health
service.
Dr. Anderson states that tetanus Is
never contracted through vaccine
virus, and he presents evidence which
goes to prove that the limited num-
Der of authentic cases developing aft
er incubation have invariably been
due to contamination of the wound
subsequent to vaccination.
During the last thirteen years the
hygienic laboratory, charged by law
with the regulation of the manufac.
ture and sale of vaccines and serums,
has examined specifically for the or
ganism OF tetanus sufficient vaccine
to vaccinate over 100000 persons
and in not single instance Was the
presence of tetanus bacilli establish
ed. Monkeys. which are susceptible
both to vaccination and tetanus, were
inoculated with virus heavily contain
mated with tetanus spores. While
developing takes" they remained alb
solutely free from symptoms Of te-
tanus. The same treatment was ac-
corded guinea pigs. equally suscept-
| ible to the disease. with similar re-
suits. Moreover the laboratory In
several instances fortunately secured
/ the remaining samples of vaccine sup
posed to have caused tetanus, but
examination by the most delicate tests
, failed to show contamination. conclus-
| lively proving that the infection was
not contained therein. Records of the
army and navy were investigated over
period Of eleven years. Not single
| case of tetanus of the eight occurring
during that time, were traceable to the
| $50, 900 vaccinations performed
Since 1904. Anderson has kept ac-
! curate records of all cases Of tetanus
which were supposed to be connected
in any way with vaccination and has
obtained data covering forty-one such
instances. Twenty-Five of which ended
fatally. This is a much smaller mum.
Der than is commonly supposed Ad-
ditional cases were reported, but up.
on investigation thep were found not
to be tetanus, or to be clearly attribut.
able to infection through wounds
These records comprise such data as
the number Of persons vaccinated, re-
suit and character Of the operation
the firm manufacturing the virus, and
other essential facts. In the majority
of the forty-one cases studied it was
learned that many others were treated
with the same lot Of virus without
harmful effects This in itself sug-
gests that the vaccine was not the
causative factor. Tests of the virus
from the original packages failed to
reveal the presence Of the tetanus or
ganisms and thus substantiates this
conclusion. During the period men.
toned. it is estimated from manufac-
turers' reports that over 81 ,000,0
people were vaccinated. The investi.
gator concludes that if the virus was
responsible infection would have been
much more widespread. DR.. Anderson
further shows that under average con.
