NATURE STRONG BELIEVER
 IN PREPAREDNESS WHEN
 FIGHTING TYPHOID GERMS

Hundreds of people in Birmingham dur ing the past week have had their first experience with typhoid inoculation.
 In these days of preparedness talk on every hand 1t is interesting to look into learn something of the constant battles going on in human tissues and blood.
 When a man is inocuated for typhoid all that he usually knows about it is that the doctor gives him three "shots'' of something 10 days apart. He has little idea of what takes place in his blood as a result of those self same three shots"
 Everyone knows that typhoid fever is caused by germ which multiplies with tremendous rapidity when 1t once gets into the blood under favorable conditions,
 But many people do not know of the t. tremendous fight certain cells in the liv- ing organism of man puts up to prevent this multiplication.
 Scientists have discovered that when a bacterial poison, such as the typhoid germ, gets into the blood the cells begin the manufacture of certain substances known as antitoxins to destroy the poi sonous bacteria. These poisonous bac- teria are then "eaten up or ingested by the white blood corpuscles
 But under ordinary conditions, if the typhoid germs once get into the blood they multiply so fast tha1 the white cor 2uscles cannot take care of them, the germs get the upper hand and the fever results. The white corpuscles make a game fight but finally have to acknowl- edge defeat because they were caught "unprepared
 And here is where the 'preparedness' aid given by inoculation comes in. It has been found that the white corpuscles will make just as hard fight against dead or devitalized typhoid germs as against the live ones which multiply so fast. Furthermore. nature never does things by

COMING OF CHRIST
 DIR. EDMONDS' THEME
Purpose Was the Salvation of the World and Not Its Condemnation

That the coming of Christ was for the purpose of saving the world and not for ifs condemnation, was the theme of the sermon of Dr. H. M. Edmonds, pastor of the Independent Presbyterian church, at the Lyric last night. pr. Edmonds took for his text the 17th verse of the third chapter of John: God sent not his Son to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.'
 pr. Edmonds declared that it was not Gods will that men should be wretched, poor and grief-stricken, and when they know and follow Christ closely, these conditions pass away. He declared that the condition of society at large must become such that all men will have a chance at life with reasonable peace and happiness. Laws must be so framed, said the speaker, that those who make them will truly carry out the idea of Christ.
 The whole emphasis of the gospel is one of help now in this life, no matter what the condition into which mans sin, ignorance or heredity has plunged him, he said.
 J. P. Shaddick assisted the regular choir, and the duet, ''Watchman, What of the Night?" by MT. Shaddick and Mrs. Chandler was especially pleasing. Thomas G. Shearman of the Edison company oper- ated one of the new machines rendering two beautiful sacred selections, one of them being by Reed Miller, a former Birmingham man.
 The closing prayer at the service last night was offered by the Rev. Dwight s. Bayley, pastor of the Pilgrim church.
 At the morning service yesterday at the Temple Emanu-El, Dr. Ed5nonds de- livered an able and forceful address on the dangers which menace society of to- day. Too great love for money, undue seeking after pleasure, immodest dress, and certain favorite themes of the film drama, were among the things mentioned as tending to constitute this menace.

BIG DEMONSTRATION FOR M. VEN|zEL0S
DemObilized Greek Soldiers Regard Cause of Allies
 as Their Own

Athens, July 2.-(Via London )-Elipthe- rios Venizelos was the sub ject of an extraordinary demonstration today origi- hating with the labor unions of Athens and Piraeus, who were joined later by hundreds of the demobilized reservists.
 The unionsts started to march to the home of the Cretan statesman and were joined on the way by the reservists, whose sun-bronzed faces and martial bearing marked them as soldiers. The manifest ants surrounded the Venizelos home and cheered until the popular idol was forced to appear on htg balcony.
 An attempt made by the anti-Venizel- ists to break up the gathering was met with formidable display of revolvers in the hands of the demonstrators. One man who cried Down with the traitors!" was set upon by the crowd and had his head broken.
 That the Venezelist enthusiasts coupled the cause of the former premier with that of the allies was shown, when the marchers proceeded, later in the day, to the French and British legations where similar demonstrations occurred. Athens, July 2.-(Via London )-Fresh fuel has been given to the flames of political discord blazing throughout Greece by dispatch from Saloniki stating that a number of Greek officers have sacked the offices of a newspaper in that city and mortally wounded the editor. The editors offense is said to have been the publication of alleged revelations regard ing the surrender of Fort Rupel to the Bulgarians.
 Athens, July 2.-(Via London )-The en- tente ministers have presented a demand to the government for the dismissal of IA police agents in Athens who are ac-
 cused of activity against the interests of the allies.

halves, so that when the devitalized germs are introduced the human cells not only manufacture enough antitoxin to allow the white corpuScleS to ingest all the harmless germs present but they proceed with their preparedness. As result they get the system so saturated with the anti-poisonous fighters that they are ready for any surprise attack. II live, poisonous typhoid germs should then happen to be taken into the sys- tenn the reserves are brought quickly into action and the white corpuscles make short work of them. These antitoxins stay on guard for varying periods in various individuals Most doctors say that any typhoid germ invasion can be overcome at any time within about three years after the inocula>ion.
 Typhoid inoculation was first practi- cally demonstrated about 1902 by Sir Alm- roth Wright and was demonstrated ion an extensive scale in the British army during the Boer war. It is now cdm- pulsory in practically every army of the world, including the United States.
 In preparing the serum for use in fn- oculation the typhoid germs are cuti- vated and then devitalized by heati&g. They have to be introduced into the s}s- tenn gradually and in certain approti- mately specific numbers. That is why three "shots' are given.
