FEDERAL QUARANTINE.

While it is not to be expected that the various forms of plague such as typhus, cholera, smallpox or bubonic will be so carelessly dealt with at the different ports through which immi- grants enter this country as to threat en the people of the United States, it Is nevertheless time that full precau- tions should be taken against any such possibility. They are raging in Eu- rope and it is to be hoped that they will be so handled there that they can be effectively checked right where they are, yet it is impossible to establish too careful a guard in dealing with cases which those who seek to enter this country may bring.
 Just at the present time 1t is being strongly urged that the control of the quarantine station at the port of New York, through which the greatest num- Der of foreigners come, be changed from state to federal It is a matter which concerns far more than New York and the most effective method of combating any possible invasion by such dread diseases should be em- ployed. The transfer is being urged by many authorities who are familiar with the requirements and by many others who are thoroughly acquainted with the present methods existing at New York quarantine. What is need ed is to get this important duty as far away from politics as possible. Ac- comp1ishment is sought and if <his can better be assured through federal con- trol 1t furnishes the best of reasons why the change should be made and why New York should be anxious to make the transfer. Certainly the bar ring of any kind of plague should get first consideration

LUXEMRURe,s PLIGHT.

Complaint Is now being made by the ruler of defenseless Luxemburg that its neutrality is being violated. It is belated cry and one that can hard ly be expected to make a country that is engaged in a great war sit up and take notice. It lies in the path of the German army and it is fortunate indeed that it has not suffered all the ravages that have befallen Belgium. Yet while it may be cognizant of the devastation from which 1t has been spared in comparison with its neigh bor which was able to and did make some defense of it's rights, there Is nothing in the code of justice which warrants. the fragrant and continued violation of its sovereignty. There is nothing which should give another the privilege of using it as its own and imposing upon the people hardships and suffering because of quarrel in which it is not interested and is not participating.
 There are many effects which Lux emburg, like Holland. must and doubt less does expect, because of it's posi- tion between two millstones, and which other countries feel indirectly, but from the very attitude which 1t has main tained from the start through not at tempting to obstruct the armies of Germany it is deserving of consider ation which it is not receiving. There is no good reason why Luxemburg should be trampled upon and when it makes an appeal and cries hands of it should be respected What should be done and what is being done are as different as two breeds of cats and from the experiences during the war it looks as if the grand duchy would have to grin and bear 1t the best it can. pitied though it must be.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Denmark-One of the many strands in the wonderfully complex web or world commerce that has felt the se- were strain of war is the Danish but ter trade. Danish butter, Russian caviar French champagne, Norwegian sardines and Strassburg pate de foie gras are articles standing alone among their several kinds-special luxuT1es that Fate dispenses only to her faV- oriteS. The butter of Denmark has heretofore it sold everywhere that people were to be found with wealth enough to develop special tastes. The war has largely interferred with this rich industry.
 Denmark's butter brought the high est price in fancy markets, and it was considered superior to that of any oth- CT nation. It was used by the epieures in North and South America, South Africa, in the East and West Indies, in Egypt, India, and throughout Fsu- rope. Good Danish butter sold at s1.oo a pound, in tins of one, two, and three pounds. Cows in other lands seem just as sleek and the grass grows elsewhere just as succulent, but, de- spite these general advantages, no other country has been able to make butter that will stand the changes of climate so well, or that tastes so crisp and sweet.
 Dairymen in Holland, Sweden and Siberia have done their utmost to pro- duce butter that could vie with the make of the Danes without success. The best butters of these countries are worth less than half as much. Scien- tif1c dairy operators in Germany also failed to duplicate 1t. Even from the milk of the COWS of the United States, animals favored beyond most others, duce a grade of butter that can com pete with the Danish article.
 Danish butter is proof against all climate. Butter, when shipped through the hot zones, melts and remains in g. liquid state as long as it Is exposed goes through this test, raelts with the heat and hardens with the cold, and still retains the wholesome sweetness of its flavor, while other butter loses its sweetness and flavor under these changes.
 The Danes do not explain the su- periority of their product. They as- sert that there is no secret in their proces of butter manufacture, but, nevertheless, they are reticent about packing establishments. The Dam ish commission houses buy the butter which they pack from small dairies all over the country, some Of their material coming as far away as Fin land. This raw. butter, so they say, is taken and mixed carefully at their central packing stations, and is work ed over again in order to free it from every particle of milk. The packers insist that the raw butter which they buy must be prepared only from ster- ilized milk and cream, and that 1t must be prepared in scientifically clean surroundings
 After these packers have re-wcrked the butter, they color it uniformly with the juice of the ordinary garden beet, and pack it in dramatically seal ed tins. They maintain that they use no pregervatives or chemicals whatsoever. Nevertheless, their but ter has consistently held the advan- tage, and until the wars outbreak. it formed the basis of one of Denmarl's most thriving and widest articles of export"

IF BACK HURTS
 BEGIN ON SALTS Flush the Kidneys at once when Back. achy or Bladder bothers-Meat

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake py flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou- ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi- ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.

RAILROAD TREsPAss,

Tn the consideration of the needless waste of human life nothing stands out any more glaringiy than the large number killed each year while tres- passing on railroad property. In a statement just issued by the New Ha- ven road 1t is shown that in the past three years there were 442 persons killed and 394 injured by trains while on railroad property as trespassers. Just how a great many people look upon railroad property and the rights which they think they possess thereon iS indicated by the attitude which Is manifested towards the efforts of a railroad to prevent track walking and the practice of allowing children to play about railroad property. Resent mert of efforts to safeguard the lives of people at dangerous points through the erection of warning signs and fences is frequently displayed by fhe destruction of both.
 The fact that railroad tracks have come to be used so generally as high ways for travel in making short cuts eauses the users to assume rights which do not exist. They do not stop te think that they have no more right on railroad property than on other privafe grounds and the general dis regard which results in the loss of so many lives has resulted in the passage of special legislation for bidding track walking as protection to human life.
 Not being disposed to take care of themselves it becomes necessary for a commonwealth to act and after se- curing the needed law to follow it up by enforcing 1t for it is better to have and enforce such laws than to pick Up and bury the dead and take care Of the cripples.

ders which are being filled in this country and to a certain extent in this state run well into the millions. It is business which Is dependent upon the war and which must be governed entirely by the war, but there is a certain amount of it which is going to neutral countries which is taking the place of business which the war ring countries formerly did. There is prospect for permanency in this trade which cannot be overlooked for it is going to be some time before the European factories will be able to get back to their normal condition after the war ends.
 This country must therefore give careful attention to retaining what may properly be looked upon as the permanent foreign trade of the future, as well as handling the war orders.

CREATES BAD REPRESSION.

Once again has F. P. Walsh, chair man of the federal commission on in- dustria1 relations come out with a statnment regarding the matters which that body has under inyestiga- tich, and equally prompt has John D. Rockefeller been to make reply deny ing the accuracy of such statements and declaring that the chairman had
 aafe differences which were unwar- ranted. This time 1t was the trouble in the Colorado mining district that was being investigated while on the previous occasion it was ahe Rockefel- Ter Formulation and similar organiza- tiens.
 Mr. Walsh eppearg to fee. that the duty is imposed upon him to apply the rod of reinstatement to the Rocke- fellers through statements made to the public instead of drawing forth the facts at the time of the hearings and then as one of the members of the federal board make his report to con- eress. tiae body appointing. him. Throughout such cases as this com mission has taken up, this disposition to supplement investigation by pri- vate judgment, based upon such facts ae the authority with which congress V%h1Ru LR9 D00y mas been able to bring forth, has placed that body in any, thing but a favorable light
 Regardless of whether he Is right or whether Mir. Rockefeller is right, Chairman Walsh has been indiscreet , in publicly cTfticising the objects of federal Inquiry.

 "So that's coo-coo!" observed Un- cle Tom when peace had settled upon them and he stood looking down on the small girl whose head was buried oontentedly in the most soiled small comforter he ever had seen. Tt was not yearning for cookies but for that unspeakable object that has turned what might otherwise have been a pleasant occasion into a night of hor- ors?

Stories of the War
Story of The Emden.

A belated but amusing account Of the German cruiser Emden's visit to the island of Diego Garcia, a blissfu1 spot in the Indian ocean, has reached London by mail Diego Garcia is a British possession peopled by 40 Eu- ropean and 500 natives. The great world war had been under way for four months when the Emden reached the little island, but the people of the island had received no mails for six months and had no suspicion of what den sailed in one day the elderly manager" of the island paid pleas ant call upon Capt. von Muller.
 The Emden had come to Diego Car cia, explained Capt. von Muller, to re- fill her coal bunkers and remove the weeds that had been growing under her hull. But when the island mana ger asked what brought the ship to that out-of-the-way corner of the world, the captain replied: "1 am car rying out maneuvers with the British navy" The manager accepted the ex- planation, and passed from the sub ject. There were other news events of greater interest to him than naval maneuvers. What of the home rule bill? Was there really any risk of civil war over 1t? Capt. von Muller professed to have no information on that subject. But he did know, he said, that the pope was dead.
 The captain was so pleasant gener- ally that the old manager said he would have liked to pay him a sec ond visit had not an accident to the machinery of his motorboat prevented him. Von Muller was distressed to hear this and sent two of his engin- eers ashore at once to repair the damage. The manager was charged with this spirit of courtesy and en- treated the captain to come ashore and

The maneuyers in which he was partici- pating, he said, required all his time, and he must not allow anything to delay his departure. Before the Elm den sailed away, however, the captain sent his card to the manager with a farewell message, and with the card a bottle of wine and box of cigars.
