DR.. Council Finds Many Medi-
cal Authorities to Back Up
His Position.
CITES CLEVELAND CASE

Health Commissioner Council says
he finds much written evidence to
sustain his position in the matter OF
vaccination against smallpox. He says
that vaccination is now generally rec
ognized all over.
The doctor offers the following
from report of the Cleveland Edu-
cation Survey, under date of 1915:
Thirteen years ago smallpox Wis
tied Cleveland. Twelve hundred and
forty-eight cases were reported. There
were thirty cases of black smallpox.
Many of the patients were blinded or
dishgured for life; 224 died We find
in the annual report of the Board of
Health for that year; 1t was the
smallpox we read about, that terrible
scourge that struck terror in the for
mer generations. Its contagious ma
ture showed itself everywhere. One
case, if not properly reported and re-
moved to the hospital, would invar-
iably infect the whole neighborhood.
Its severity manifested itself even in
the milder cases, while continent
cases, almost without exception de-
veloped hemorrhages during the pus-
tular state. At the mayors request
meeting of physicians was held to
consider the smallpox situation.
Vaccination was recommended or
all sides, but the people were not
prone to get -vaccinated. Wholesale
vaccination was finally effected by the
action OF the school council and the
help of the Chamber of Commerce
The school council amended the vac.
cination clause, making vaccination q
condition "sine qua non" for attend

An increase from 20 per cent to 60
per cent production, with eggs SELL
ing at 40 cents per dozen, in Decem-
Der, would mean an increase in gross
income of Al cents per hen, or S4l.3S
per 100 laying hens.
From this gross income would
have to be subtracted the cost of
lighting and the additional feed con-
sumed. The latter has not been de-
termined as yet, but would undoubt-
eddy be considerably less than the
value Of the increased egg produc-
ton"
The report states that several fac
tors, such as the effect Of the arti-
fetal lighting on the health OF the
hens or upon the hatchibility Of the
eggs as we'll as the strength aud vigor
Of the resulting chicks, are yet to be

been cases OF smallpox in Cleveland.
The Board of Health no-longer relies
upon the Board OF Education to pro-
tect the lives of the community
against the scourge. Where 10000
children are gathered together daily
for hours at stretch, the possibilities
of spreading disease throughout the
city at large constitutes grave men
ace. Therefore, Immediately upon the
report of case of smallpox, the
Board of Health officials exercise
their right of entry into the schools
OF that district and either vaccinate or
exclude from attendance every child
who could himself become a carrier
OF the disease. During the present
year over l,400 children were vaccin-
ated in this way.
That vaccination prevents small
pox no intelligent person acquainted
with the facts can doubt An over
whelming mass of incontrovertible
evidence can be found in every med
ical library. The mortality statistics
of every country tell the same story

Message.

Mexico City.-Mexico's neutrality
between the United States and Ger
many and other warning nations was
pledged by President-elect Carranza
in his address at the opening session
of the new Congress, which was ac-
companied by much pomp and un-
usually brilliant ceremony in the
Chamber of Deputies. He promised
that the neutrality shall be strict
and rigorous.

solved the Congress that was elect
ed during Madero's administration

obey the dictator's orders. Several
members of the Madero Congress

was filed when Carranza entered

paniment of the national anthem
