Speaking of the privilege of Ameri-

1T is great thing to be citizen
of a nation that gave freedom to
Cuba; and it is a great thing to be
a citizen of the nation that gave back
$20,000;00O of the indemnity collected
by the nations of the world from
China after the Boxer uprising. And
when the president of the United
States says we are not going into this
war for territory, nor for indemnity,
| believe he means what he says, and
that the American people will stand
back of him."
Character Counts.
Mr.. Cowell praised the dignity and
value of labot, and said that in this
country the time is coming soon when
there will not be an aristocracy of
wealth or of birth, but an aristocracy

WARRlNG ON INFANT PLAGUE
Medical Scientists Place Themselves In
State of Preparedness to Repel
Advances of Foe.

The best war news Of home signih-
canoe published the other day related
to the new state of preparedness In
which our medical scientists find them
selves for the fight with infantile par
alysis and its microbes, observes the
New York World. In case Of fresh
advance by these foes Of childhood In
the coming summer. the prospects for
a distinct repulse are encouraging.
1t Is from the research forces OF the
Rockefeller institute that the bulle-
tins come Of progressive readiness.
Not least encouraging among the
discoveries of the doctors Is the fact
that two centers Of generally efficient
defense are characteristic of the body
itself. One of these Is in the secretlons
of the nose and throat, the entrance
avenues of the microbes. The other Is
in certain membUnes, when intact
surrounding the spinal cord and brain.
A slight injury to these membranes
will let the virus in when the disease
germs have once passed the other par
rlers. How frequently the defenses
succeeded all around is shown by the
record of last summers attacks, only
1.59 cases of paralysis occurring to
every 1000 of population In this city.
This would mean about 16 cases to a
city of 10000 people.
Passing from natural preventive to
discovered remedies, the doctors tell OF
a better serum and of methods of ad-
ministration made more effective by a
winters study and experiment. Alto
gether the research bulletins go far to
strengthen the counsel, found to be
well based even in last summers epi-
demic, against panic and nerve-racking
worry.

caIory Is Measure of Heat.

Calory is q word so much used by
physicians and writers upon diet that
there is no excuse for anyone not un-
derstandlng what it means. The defini-
ton Of the word calory In the
dictionary is: "One or two recog-
nlzed units of heat Of which the great
er calory' or 'kilogram calory' Is the
amount of heat necessary to raise one
kllogram of water l degree c.; the
lesser calory' or small calory being
the amount of heat necessary to raise
one gram Of water l degree c."
Calory, then, Is measure of heat.
The human body may be likened to a
furnace, and the food that goes into 1t
to the fuel, for this, in fact, is exactly
what it is, as 1t supplies the body
with what enables it to keep up its
heat. So the heat-glving qualities OF
our food are measured in calories.
