Homesickness finds strange victims.
Army surgeons know that sometimes
It kills. Often 1t is the man without
regular home who IL most subject
to nostalgia. This disturbance Of
soul, mind and body settles down upon
the phlegmatic, the burly. the thick

skies amid the earth's best loveliness
and they moan for dirty streets where
they played in childhood.
Idleness breeds homesickness and
active diversion cures it. It 10 akin

the biological impulse intended to an.
chor man. in one place long enough
for him to take root. Its opposing in
stinct IL the wanderlust.
Explorers have confessed that tho
worst homesickness they have known
was In the first few hours and days
Of their return. In familiar surround

revulsion to take up their roaminss

RELATIONS OF GOD AND MAN
Gradual RsadIustment Means . Con.
tinual Advance Toward the
Higher Life.

In studying the Bible It becomes in.
creasingly apparent that the relations
between God and man are not con-
slant or fixed. but are subject to .
gradual readjustment. In the earlier
chapters the ideal held out II for man
to fear" God. Later he learns to
trust, to q limited extent, this higher
life. Eventually this grudging faith
10 turned to love. which recognizes God
as the father. constantly giving him.
self. a. life and wisdom. to his chill
dren. And beyond this comes that
fruition Of growth which constitutes
real unity: man Il merged with God.
and comes to realize that II and the
Father are one."
God never changes. but our under.
standing Of him does change. And
it Is the evolution Of this ideal which
we have Of the great sea Of life In
which we live. and which lives In
and through ~, which constitutes real
growth and Advancement. Life II for
that: the everyday tasks tend toward
the bringing forth Of selfconscious-
less. which IL always . fuller consci.

True Yellow Fever Germ
Has Not Yet Been Found,
Havana Physician Asserts

In a paper read before the section on
public health today. DR.. Aristide Agra
monte of Havana, Cuba, said:
THE true germ of yellow fever has
not yet been found, although II Is pres
ent in the blood from the first to the
third day of the disease. The first
rational campaign against the disease
was started by Maj. VIC. Gorgas at
Havana in 1901. and afterward the
work was taken up in Mexico, at La
redo. Tex, and other places. These
campaigns all had as their principal
object the protection Of the sick and
the eradication of the mosquito"
DR.. Agramonte said that there were
five cases in Brazil during the present
year. six in Ecuador and four In
Mexico. He believed that sooner OF
later the disease would be found only
in Africa. Mexico and Cuba, he said
have been freed from 1t for many
years.
TT is practically Impossible to eradi.
cate the mosquito" continued DR.
Agramonte. The best that can b
hoped for IL to reduce tho number be.
low yellow fever level" The main OBJ.
ject Of quarantine laws. 1t was said
should be to prevent the conveyance
of mosquitoes in railroad cars, vessels
etc.

Discussing Public Health,
DR.. B. w. Caldwell Predicts
Disappearance of Typhus


The world is being rid of typhus. and
it is scheduled to disappear entirely. ac-
cording to DR.. B. w. Caldwell, speaking
before the section on public health of
the Pan-American Scientific Congress
this afternoons DR.. Caldwell seid that
the epidemic Of the disease which has
recently scourged Serbia Is probably the
last one that will be felt in the entire
civilized world. unless epidemic con-
ditions are vastly more favorable to the
disease than ever before. He said that
the lessons taught by the present cpl
demic- permit an optimistic view Of the
future to be taken: that typhus is one of
the easiest diseases to eradicate when
conditions are favorable and when the
light Of present science Is thrown on the
disease.
The epidemic in Serbia. he said. was
due to preventible causes. to inexcusable
Indifference on the part Of authorities.
both civil and military. and to careless
ness amounting to crime"

REGULATION of Utilities
as Affecting investments
Theme of Charles A. Prouty

will too much government reguia-
tion in public utilities prevent private
capital from investment in these corr
porations?" was the question asked to-
day by Charles A. Prouty, director OF
the division of valuation. interstate
commerce commission, before the sec
transportation
THE property invested in our public
utilities" said Mr.. Prouty, "is private.
Ordinarily the owner of private prop
erty may do with it as he lists. but to-
day the commission controls the prop
erty of the utility. 1t can largely over
rule the judgment OF the owner as to
the methods which should be employed,
and it can absolutely limit the return
which can be earned When the in
vestment was made regulation was not
the effective thing it is now; would the
