WEST SUFFERS FROM WAR
Little Children Excite the Sympathy
Of Those Who Know the situa-
ton in France.

Of all those who suffer by the war
none make a more immediate appeal
to the sympathies than the little chill
dren left alone in the world.
The Committee Franco-American
for the Protection Of the Children of
the Frontier has already done noble
work, under the direction of Mrs.
Bliss, wife Of the secretary of the
American embassy at Paris, and Mr..
A. F. Jaccaci, the artist-author,
whose son the Trail of Don Quix-
ote' is well remembered, The treas
urer is Frederic R. Coudert.
One hundred and twenty-five chill
dren, little ones like those who were
rescued from the region Of Belfort,
have been saved from parts of Alsacc
recently conquered by French troops.
Ypres and other Flemish towns dew
astated by months Of artillery fire.
Shelter has been found for them
in converts and institutions that are
providing a roof, but are so sadly i'm
poverished that the children must 90
unfed unless food can be secured
through others. The little ones are
on Is cents a day.

MEAT SUBSTITUTES
Health and High Cost of Living
Demand Use of Less Meat

demand use OF Less Meat
Many Of us are eating entirely
too much meat according to Miss
Bah Bell of the Missouri College
of Agriculture. Meat furnishes
protein, which is an important
muscle builder and source of en-
ergy, but it has two great objec-
lions: ~ it costs more and
more each year, and (2) it is
very likely to putrefy in the pro
cess of digestion and form objec-
tionable acids and other products
which are injurious to the health,
Muscle building foods of other
kinds can be substituted for that
furnished by meat if we will use
eggs, nuts, peas, beans and sim
liar things instead of meat for
one or two of the three daily
meals. Fish is not a good sub
stitute for meat from this stand
point as it has the same kind Of
protein which forms objection
able acids.
The extent to which other food
can be substituted for meat de-
ponds in part upon the character
Of the work being done. Less
meat and a greater proportion of
meat substitutes should be used
by those who work indoors, than
by those who are in the open air
most of the time, but even those
who are working hard in the OPP
en- air often get along we'll with
little meat after they have been
accustomed to the substitutes if
the better half has learned how
to prepare them in the most ap-
petizing way. For the benefit Of
those who wish to use meat sub
stitutes the Missouri College of
Agriculture has carefully tested
a number of dishes and finds that
these directions give good re-
suits.

prevention OF disease nave cOIIle
about as the direct result of the
discoveries of Pasteur and the es-
adjustment of what is known as
the germ theory of disease.
However, before the time Of Pas
teur one most notable advance
was made namely, the discovery
Of vaccination by DR.. Edward
Jenner, in 1898. Previous to that
time about one person in every
ten died Of smallpox. In England,
one person in every three show
ed peck marks on the face. When
it was carried to a new country
the death rate was something
frightful, as for example, in
Mexico, where 3,5OO,OOO of the
natives died of the disease after
its Introduction by the Spanish.
For many years in England it
had been observed that cows suf-
fer from an eruption located a.
bout the udder and TANKS, and
that mixers were likely to be-
come infected with the materi-
al from this eruption. DR.. Jen-
.ner observed that those who had
suffered from this infection did
not contract smallpox, which al
most everybody had at that time.
He began to experiment by in
.fecting people and then watching
their subsequent history and con-
.firmed his observations absolute
ly that an attack of this disease
which is known as vaccinia pro-
tected against a subsequent at
tack of smallpox. The germ or
virus had become attenuated or
weakened in its virulence. It is
now known that vaccinia as seen
in the COW is a modified form of
smallpox. If we transfer some Of
the matter from the smallpox
on a human being to a
calf, we do not produce smallpox
but only the mild disease known
a S vaccinia. When we again
transfer this matter from the
calf to the human being, it doe
not regain its virulence, but pro
the mild form of the dis.
ease, though it has the power OF
protecting against the severe dis
ease, smallpox, because protec-
tive substances are formed by
the cells Of the body in response
to the attack Of the weakened
germ, just as they are in true
smallpox, and without danger.
During the Eighteenth Centu-
ry, there were 10000 deaths a
year from smallpox in Germany.
1916 to 1870, twenty-five
persons out of every 1901
died Of the disease in that
country. 1871 and 1872, owing
to the Franco russian War, the
disease became prevalent, caus-
ing the death of 243 and 262 per-
sons respectfully in every 1O0,-
900. In 1874, vaccination was
made compulsory, and immedi-
ately a marked falling off in the
disease was noticed. From 1874
to 1886, 1.57 died in every 10O.-
900, and in the year 1910, there
were only 33 deaths from small
pox in the entire empire of Ger
many with a population of over
go, 900, 900, and Is of these we're
foreigners. If the old rate had
kept up, $4,000 persons a year
would have lost their lives from
this disease. Surely no stronger
proof Of the value of vaccination
could be given.
How long does this protection
In some persons it lasts
for life, but the average person
should be vaccinated whenever
exposed. If they are still protec-
by the former vaccination,
it does not result in any pain or
inconvenience. AT best this is
temporary and is amply
paid for by the protection from

RURAL CREDIT BILL.
Proposed Bonds Under System Be
 Partly Backed By Treasury.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Senator Hol- lis and Rep. Lever, members of the joint congressional committee on ru- ral credits, and Secretary Houston laid before President Wilson today a plain for changing the land mortgage rural credit bill as agreed to by the joint committee. They proposed that bonds issued under the system be part ly backed by the treasury
 Senator Hollis and Rep. Lever thought a fund should be placed in the treasury SO the government could go temporarily to the relief of any of the land banks proposed in the bill should they have financial difficulties. Sec rotary Houston was understood to fa. vor the plan with notifications. The president will investigate the idea. The house banking committee, he was told, expects to report a land mort gage bill in the near future.

JAPANESE CAPTURE
 AMERICAN BUSINESS
Cotton Goods Trade in China Lost to U. S. Manufacturers, Says De-
 partment of Commerce Report.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Japanese manufacturers have captured the Am erican cotton trade in China so com- pletely says a departm of com- merce report issued today, that all hope of renewed American business lies in an entire change of the class of goods manufactured for oriental export.
 Ten years, the report declares has seen American cotton goods sales dwindle in China, as the Japanese business grew. Now American mills, it says, ,hopelessly dfstanced by tho Japanese, either must extend their trade by selling another class of goods at the expense of England or dismiss hopes for further Chinese business.
 The report was prepared by Ralph M Odell, a textile expert of the bu- reau of foreign and domestic com merce, after six months investigation in China.
 Increasing cost of production in England because of the war, the re- for American mills to introduce into China lines of cotton goods they here tofore have not sold. Sheetings and drills formerly sold, must be left to the Japanese and to new Chinese mills built and building. China for many years has been the largest market for cotton goods in the world.

CITY POPULATION
KEEPS ON INCREASING
Census Figures Show That 40.9 Per
Cent of United States People
Live in Big Towns.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The popu
lation of the United States continues
to shift TO the cities, according to esti
mates announced yesterday by the cen
sus bureau. The estimates, based on
the rate of population increases from
1900 to 1910, disclosed that 400 per
cent Of the country s inhabitants now
live in cities of more than 5000, as
against 3S.9 per cent in 1910. The en-
tire population of continental United
States for 1916 has already been esti-
mated at 102 OH 1912. The total in
the states, territories and United States
possessions is put at 112,444 ,620.
Ten states have taken censuses since
the last federal census III 1910 and
seven show population increases. Kan
sas, South Dakota and Wyoming de-
creased from 1910 to 1915. The least
increase was in Iowa with a growth
of but six per cent. The greatest in
crease was 22.5 per cent in Florida. In
Florida, Iowa, and Massachusetts, the
percentage of increase from 1905 to
1915 was greater than from 1900 to
1910 but in the other seven states it
was much higher from 1900 to 1910 than
from l905-19l5. In Kansas, North and
South Dakota and Wyoming the rate of
growth from 1900 to 1910 was nearly
double that from 1905 TO 1915. In Iowa
Ia decrease Of 7,0S2 was shown from
1900 TO 1910 and an increase of 14s.0l6
from 1905 to 1915. In New Jersey. New
York and Rhode Island slight decreases
We're Indicated by the state returns of
1905 and 1915 as compared with the
increases from 1900 10 1910.
