Home Rule

lTlHE so-called Home Rule Amendment is backed
E1T by every brewer and saloonkeeper in Mich-

the business in which they are engaged.
There is no defense Of the saloon presented, for
there is none. They seek to get your mind off the

Statewide Prohibition backed by law enforce
ment will put the saloon out of business If it
wouldn't why is it being fought by the saloon in

If Prohibition increased the consumption Of

cowpoX protects against smallpox, and
that a person who has had the mild
disease, cowpoX, enjoys protection
against the serious and oft times fatal
disease, smallpox.
Jenner made his crucial experiment
in 1896 when he transferred the vac
cine matter from the hand of a dairy
maid, which had been scratched with
thorn and was infected with the cow
poX from her masters COW, to the arm
Of boy about eight years old, and a
typical take followed. In order to as
certain whether the boy, after feeling
so slight an affection of the system
of the cowpoX virus, was secure from
the contagion of the smallpox, he was
inoculated with variolous matter, i'm
mediately taken from the pustule, and
no disease followed. Several months
afterwards he was again inocculated
with variolous matter, with no bad eff
feet.
When Jenner proved his thesis to
his own satisfaction he presented the
results of his observations to the
Royal Society, of which he was a Eel
low, but the paper was refused, and he
was forced to publish his findings in
book form.
Vaccine virus may be obtained eth
er from bovine or human sources, but
the latter is seldom used for the rea-
son that the supply would not be suf-
ficient in cases of smallpox outbreaks
when it is necessary to vaccinate
many thousands Of people.
Bovine virus has been used more or

less since the time of Jenner, but es-
pecially since Copenman showed in
1891 how to purify it with glycerine.
1t also has the great advantage of be-
ing readily obtained in any amount
and when desired.
There is no such thing as aseptic
vaccine virus, it always contains bac-
terra or the active principle has not
been grown in pure cultures. How
ever, the bacteri which contaminate
vaccine virus are, for the most part,
harmless to man.
They are commonly those that are
found on and in the skin OF the calf
and the spore-bearing varieties
are largely eliminated by the process
of ripening.
Government Control of Vaccine Virus
By an act passed in our national
congress July l, 1902, the vaccine virus
sold in interstate traffic in the Unit
ed States must come from a licensed
manufacturer. The licenses are issued
by the secretary of the treasury only
after careful inspection of the plant,
personnel, and product by competent
government officer.
The licenses are issued only for one
year, and are re-issued only after re-
inspection.
The government regulations require
each lot of vaccine virus to be exam
ined carefully by modern bacterio.ogic-
al methods determine the absence
of pathogenic micro-organisms.
While the government does not guar
antee the purity or potency of each
package of vaccine virus, yet by its
careful inspection and frequent exam
nations every confidence may now be
had in the vaccine virus propagated by
any licensed manufacturer in the
country.

NEW YORK STATE AND THE
AMERICANlZATlO PROBLEM

Americanzation is a live issue in
many states. New York appreciates its
significance and has already taken
steps on a state basis to Americanize
, the alien. In 1910 there were $4,000
foreign-born whites unable to speak
English in that commonwealth, and
$4,000 who could not read or write
in any language.
The New York state department Of
education has begun the first state
wide campaign to abolish these dis
abilities. Its program covered the fol-
lowing procedure: (a) a careful sur
| vey of the migrant education situa-
I ton; (b) establishment of training
courses to prepare teachers for the
| instruction of foreigners; (c) adoption
of efficiency in public-evening school
work for adult immigrants; (d) co
operation with state and federal agen-
cies; and (e) publication of state bull
letins.
As preliminary, personal investiga-
tions and intensive study of certain
communities disclosed dark spots" of
illiteracy and light spots" in the large
industrial centers, where efforts were
under way to teach the foreigner Eng
lish and give him some contact with
American standards and ideals.
\ teachers training institute for the
preparation of teachers of foreigners
was organized at Albany in the fall of
1915. 1t was so successful that it was
decided to continue it upon a perma-
nent basis as a part of the regular
curriculum of the New York college
for teachers. Similar institutes are
planned for Syracuse and New York
City, while training classes are in op-
Grafton at Buffalo and Rochester, part
ly as a result of state encouragement.
Cooperation with governmental and
private agencies interested in educat-
ing and Americanizing the alien is al
ready an established fact. A state
ment issued by the New York state de-
partment of education shows that the
bureau of education and the depart
ment of the interior, the bureaus of
migration and naturalization of the
department of labor, and the nation
al Americanization committee of New
York City, are among those whose
services and material have been util-
lied. Speakers for institutes have
been furnished by some of these CO.
operating agencies.
Two publications have already been
issued by New York State-a Citizen
ship Syllabus, and the Rochester Plan
of Immigrant ducation-several thou
sand of the former having been widely
distributed.
In view of the ebb and flow of the
| immigrant tide, as far as individual
communities are concerned-for this
foreign population largely follows the
economic demands of the hour-New
/ York is properly approaching this
problem from the state point of view.
1t is hardly just to throw upon the
community the entire burden Of car
ing for this fluctuating alien group.
The Empire State is thus setting an
example which others of the so-called
immigrant states might well follow.

 For nearly two years rhe spot where he lay was unmarked. when one morn- ing 1t was discovered that small. very substantial and not inexpensive monument of granite and marble had been placed during the night over his remains. No one in the town saw the monument erected or knew anything whatever respecting 1t. There was no stonecutter in the vicinity capable of executing the work.

A Legacy Left by the Turks to the
 Servian City of Nish.
 There have been many tragic cpl sodes in the history of Nish. in Servia. In the fifteenth century the Turks cap tured the city. and for 300 years it re- mained in their possession. although there were brief periods when the Austrians held it. Then. in 1S09. the Servians. who had recovered most of their country from the Turks, besieged Nish. but were defeated with great loss. The Turks to celebrate their vic- tory erected q rough tower composed alternately of Jumps of rock and skulls of Servians cemented together.
 It is related that there were original ly 1900 skulls in the tower of Nish.
 For long period it was the habit of travellers to Nish to carry off d skull as q souvenir. and this reduced their num- bers. But in the Russo-Turkish war the Servian army. under the command of King Milan. besieged Nish. and the fortress fell on Jan. 10. 1878.
 The remaining skulls were then rev. erently buried by the Servian troops except one. which was too deeply im- Dedded in the plaster to be extracted. The so called tower of skulls" is now only about four feet in height. and only one skull can be seen to remind the traveller of its gloomy history London Answers.

When the Famous Singer Albani First
 Went to London.
 The curious story of Mime. Albani's first London engagement is as follows: Colonel Mapleson heard of her singing at theater at Malta, and, thinking that she would be successful. he made her an offer through an agent of con- tract to sing in Her Majesty's theater. She agreed to 1t and went to London. but on arriving there she told the cab man to drive her to the Italian opera house.
 He. instead of going to Her Majes. tvs. took her to Covent Garden. which was also devoted to Italian opera. She was shown up to the managers office and stated that she had come to sign the contract which Mr. Mapleson had offered her.
 Mir. Gye, thinking to play joke on his rival. Mapleson. made out a con tract. and Albani signed it. MT. Gye then told her that he was not Colonel Mapleson. but that he could do much better by her. He offered to tear up the contract if she liked. but told her that Nilsson was singing at Her Maj. esty's and would brook no rival.
 Albani decided to let the contract stand and thus became one of the stars of Covent Garden, eventually marrying the son of MT. Gye.-Westminster Ga zette
