MOSES AND SANITATION.
Ancient Laws as Effective as Moder',
Rules of Hygiene.

Rules of Hygiene.
There has been gathered collection
of facts to prove that the sanitary laws
OF Moses were not only on line with
the modern rules of hygiene. but in
some cases in advance of them.
The Jew, thousands of years before
Christ, settling in semltropical coun
try, was forbidden to eat pork or she'll
fish, and milk was designated as a
source of contagion In the Talmud
a method of slaughtering animals was
prescribed which is acknowledged to-
day In our markets as the most sani-
tary.
Five thousand years before Koch gave
to the world the results of his re-
searches in bacteriology the Mosaic
law pointed ont the danger to man
from tuberculosis In cattle, but did not
forbid infected poultry as food. 1t was
only few years ago that German spe-
cialists discovered that fowl tubercu-
losis was harmless to man.
The Mosaic law also enforced the
isolation of patients with contagious
diseases and the burial OF the dead
outside all cities These hints the Gen
tile world did not fully accept until a
century or two ago.
The wise lawgiver prescribed moi
only fasting at certain periods OF the
year, but the removal of all families
In summer out TO camps, where for d
time they could live close TO nature
Many OF the laws of Moses were pre-
scriptions intended for the health OF
both mind and body.-Boston Tran
script.

Democrats Hear Truth,

Rarely has the Democratic MAORI
ty in the House been compelled to lis
ten to so much plain, unvarnished truth
regarding fundamental policy Of their
party. or been so defenseless against
Republican logic as when, on Thurs
day, the House voted. 346 to IA. to re-
peal the free sugar clause OF the Tn
derwood tariff bill. For the most part
the Democratic were compelled to re-
main squirming in their seats, or to &C.
cupy the time allotted them for debate
with general discussion of irrelevant
subjects. The Democratic contention
that the treasury deficit was due to
the European war was proved to be
wholly groundless by the Republicans,
while the injustice Of tax Of a cent a
pound on sugar, If the Democratic con-
tention that the consumer pays his tax,
be accepted. was also driven home.

Brazil Disappointed.

From Rio Janeiro comes word that
Brazilian financiers and business men
are thoroughly disappointed at the
character Of the delegation which this
country is sending to the Pan-Ameri-
can Congress at Buenos Aires, and that
this same feeling is shared in Argen-
tina. With extraordinary opportuni-
ties for cultivating the commercial re-
lations between the United States and
the South American republics it was
hoped that men Of high standing in the
business world and in the legal pro-
fession would be chosen as delegates
Instead. President Wilson is sending
his -in-law. Mr.. McAdoo, whose
reputation in the business world of
this country appears to have preceded
him to South America, Mr.. McAdoo's
chum, Sam Untemeyer. who also ap-
pears to be known in the South Ameri-
can capitals, and other lesser lights.
That the party which sailed recently
on the U. S. S. Tennessee will prove
more Of q junket than a serious mis-
sion chosen with a view to actual
achievement is the impression which
appears to prevail in South America,
as 1t Is a conviction in Washington.

"Poiitical Morality"

ment which appears to be equivalent to

Forest Commissioner Mace at the meet
ing of the Maine Wilson Club at the
University Of Maine, the Augusta news
paper says: quite probably Mr.. Mace
speaks with authority as he pretends but
his nasty inference that it was all the
the lie comes in
In other words. the Burleigh news
paper sets up the claim that rum and
money were used on both sides. Mr..
Mace Is taken to task because, as the
Kennebec Journal puts 1t. he intimated
all the money. The Kennebec Journal in
inmates, in its turn. that the Democrats
had some Of both. The Republican party
being the party Of morality. according to
money in the Augusta election. The Re
publican party being also the party Of
prohibition had some of the rum.
Thus We have it on the authority Of
the Burleigh newspaper that its party Is
not above using rum and money but to
say that the Republican party has all
the rum and money Is to indulge in a
nasty inference. It admits that It had
some Of both in the recent Augusta cleo
ton but It rises with virtuous indignation
to deny the base insinuation that II had
