erned by eternal, fixed and unchange-
able sacred laws n that things can
only exist, or be under those immuta-
bic laws and yet we turn right round
and say there are S~uper-powers above
the Universal. while we look below and
discover Inferior Adversary power,
partially controlling things and going
about like a roaring lion, seeking
whom he may devour." 1t makes one
feel like quoting from the sacred book
and saying, Such contradiction of sin
ners." We recently heard a very able
and most excellent minister say in his
discourse that he hated all dogma as
! badly as did Herbert Spencer and that
he loved his church. In whose pulpit he
stood, but that his church made him say
and declare many things that he wish
ed it did not, and so it is with many of
us. We must say, believe and do many
things, concerning which, we would be
glad to say. to act and believe other
wise, but that in doing so, we would
heap pon ourselves the eXcommunica-
ton of our ecclesiastic neighbor.-

VACCINATION THE ORDER
OF THE DAY In CANTON.
Polluted Water Supply Cause Of Ty-
phOid Epidemic-Thirty Seven
Cases of Fever RepOrted.

"It's no trouble to get people vacci-
mated against typhoid fever in Canton
now, they are almost begging for it"
said DR.. Crouch, who is state epidemi-
ologist and who has recently returned
from Investigating the typhoid epidem-
ic at that place. According to DR..
Crouch none of the thirty-seven pa
tients now sick with typhoid have ever
taken the preventive treatment against
this disease, except one man who
claims to have been vaccinated seven
years ago.. But since the evil day has
arried, indifference and lack of faith
have both given way to a1speedy effort
to get v~accinated to keep off the dis
ease and save the day.
The cause of the epidemic was
found to be a polluted public water
supply. For a number of years. &C
cording to the State Board of Health,
recommendations have been made to
this city by the Board concerning its
water supply, which we're not adopt
ed. Consequently, it is no surprise
to the board that the town is now
suffering from, an epidemic of typhoid
fever or has not suffered from this
or some other water borne disease
long ago.
To meet the situation at present the
Board advises that all water be boiled
before using, that a hypochlorfte plant
be Installed at once. and that the wa
ter supply be adequately treated by fill
tration. It further advices anti-fl-
phoid vaccine be given to every man,
woman and child except those who. in
the physicians opinion on account OF
some physical condition, should not
take it,

SOME THINGS THAT MAY BE TRUE

(By Thos. ].

Some wise philosopher has been
credited with such saying, as that the
greatest mystery. or thing utterly be-

mankind. is Man himself. The power,
whatever it was, that brought into ex-

zation, the universe, the world OF

is to the human mind incOmprehens1-
ble,-all so great as to put his little
brain. or intellect into oblivion, so that
when he brings all the vision he has,
right around his own little self, what,

utterly ~dumfounded and put to confu-

catalogue Of doctrines, 'dogmas, posi-

have their divine origin. through the
sacred brain of a few darkage dem1-
gods. Man sleeps and cannot tell
what it is,-awakes and knows not why
