infected zones, but also those captured
in localities some distance from the
trenches.
For purposes of experimentation and
comparison Dr. Noguchi collected a
large number of wild rats in this coun-
try and removed their kidneys to ascer-
tain whether they, too, contained evil
dences of the presence of this same
microbe.
His report states that by inoculatina
the emulsion made of the kidneys of
forty-one wild rats into fifty-eisht
guinea pigs in the last three months he
had been able to produce in three
groups of guinea pigs typical cases of
infectious jaundiee, although identical
with the findings in the guinea pigs
which died of the injection of the ia
panese and Belgian strains of the dis
ease The strain of spirochete isolated
from American wild rats caught near
New York city. produced death in
guinea pigs inoeulated with it within
nine to twelve days.
The disease seems to become more
virnlent as. il is suceossivelv trans
mittcd from one victim to another.
| This fact is supposed to explain the
much greater mortality, some IS PEI
cent among the victims III Japan, as
compared with to :; per cent among
| European soldiers. 1t seems reason
able To assume that the japanese
strain of the disease has acquired its
marked virulence among human sub
jcets owing probably to its more mum
erouS passage from man to man. In
PRODUCTION of the disease into France
seems to be of much more recent de
velopment.

NEED IDENTIFICATION CARDS.
Thousands Who Pass Over Borders
Daily Must Garry Permits.

WASHINGTON, May >. - While the
literacy clause is of course the FREEDOM
inant feature of the new immigration
aw which came into operation yester-
day, there is another feature of tho
law of more direct concern to thou
sands of our close nei9hbors on the north
and south who are engaged in business
or labor in the United States This
is the clause requiring Identification
cards from all persons who daily travel
between the United States and Canada
on the north, and Mexico. to the south.
1t is estimated that there are at
least 10000 of such persons residing
across the border and engaged in work
ON this side. All such persons are re-
quired under the new law to carry an
identification card bearing his or her
photograph. The cards are to be issued
from the immigration officials at the
cities into which the travellers pass each
day.

After experiencing a winter in
which high prices have left their in
dent on every pocketbook, regardless
of the value of the contents. the
householder faces a spring and sum
mcr with prices steadily and rapidly
rising ard the prospects that the end
of the II. G. of l.. is nowhere in sight.
There is the satisfaction that the
time is coming when coal need not be
bought to feed the hungry NAV of the
yawning furnace, but this is temper
ed with the certainty that when the
times comes for buying again the
prices probably will be equal to those
charged during the past winter.

Faith.

You never hear the rose complain
That all its beauty is i'll vain;
Nor murmur, AS its petals fada,
That without purpose It was made,
You naver hear a doubling note
From any summer song bind S throat,
Nor find in any humble tree,
A disbelief in joys to be.
The message of the ancient wood
Is that the Gift of life is good.
In every nest ara mating pairs
Exultant in the joy that's theirs.
The bees that swarm about their hive
Accept the chance to live their live
And give their bit of service fine
Unquestionine the power divine.
IT'S only multi gifted man
That donbts the wise Creators plan.
That discontinued stands and cries
That all is over when he dies;
That accident has placed him here
To struggle on year after year;
That purposeless his, form had birth.
And, purposeleSs he treads the earth.
Go stand bareheaded In the sun
And see the green grass new begun,
Observe on every hand some sign
OF faith in Wisdom that s divine.
No breath of life. howe 'er so brief
But in its purpose has belief,
The tiniest blade that bro axis the so
Is satisfied that there's God.
When humble plants refuse to grow
Ana gentle breezes cease to blew;
When songbirds scorn their chance t
sing
And blossoms spurn the call of sprin
And signify a disbelief
in wisdom in life so brief,
Then man in justice may complain
His days are pnrposeless and vain.

CASES Of kELLYS
BEEN CONTINUED

Wesley Kelly and his brother,
charged with having failed to regis

before United States Commissioner j.
II. Sullivan yesterday and their cases
were continued, as there was some
dispute as to their respective ages.
They promised that the family Bible
would show it up in true shape, and
the postponement was agreed on,
pending the arrival of the book.
Wesley Kelly, the more intelligent
of the boys, made an interesting wit
ness. The commissioner questioned
him at length, and especially along
the line of his knowledge of public
men and matters. He said, respond

Instead of purchasing the Liberty

course, cash purchases may be made
locally, but in the deferred payment
plan, the company can handle the
loans without charging interest, and
