VALUE OF VACCINATION AGAINST
 INFLUENZA
(American Medical JournaD

(American Medical JournaD
 We publish in our correspondence department in this issue an interest ing letter with the above title. In it the author apparently takes it for granted that the influenza bacillus is the primary cause of the acute cpl demic and being generally called in \ fluenza. There is no conclusive evi- dence that the Pfeiffer bacillus plays any greater role, if as great, in the present epidemic than any other bac- teria found in the respiratory tract in this disease. This point emerges very clearly in the abstract of recent Eng fish and German literature anG. in the original contributions printed in this issue We would also emphasize that, so far as we know, the influenza bacil- Jus is very poor antigen; there is, in fact, nothing to show that definite antibodies against this bacillus develop In the course of influenza, and the re- suits of animal experiment show that 1t requires prolonged immuniZation before any response becomes apparent. Again, we have no record of any prop erly conducted and controlled eXperi- ments on human beings with influenza vaccineS. No results of careful obser- vations are as yet at hand. These things being so, what should a fair minded and thoughtful physician say as to the face value of influenza vaccine? In this connection we give two ex- amples of so-called "eviGance" that 1 appeared in newspapers, which seem | to be the medium through which most of the evidence is appearing One ap- peared in the health department, con- | ducted by a physician, of a metropoli- tan newspaper in the middle west un- der the utterly misleading heading | 'Vaccine Blots Out Flu" We quote
 'The evidence of the efficiency of l the treatment is this: On October 20. l about half the population of town of l 10000 had been vaccinated at least in | part. There have been seven cases of | the disease. All the cases were among unvaccinated people, In a nearby town, with 400 inhabitants, there have been ] 200 cases and fifteen deaths. In the asylum three cases developed. Every body was vaccinated and the disease 1 did not spread. In St Mary's hospital the disease got a foothold among the l doctors and nurses. After vaccination the disease stopped at once"
 The other appears in an eastern paper as an interview with a physician, who, incidentally is a manufacturer of vaccines, although this vital fact does not appear in the item. Again we | quote:
 T think it but just that I should re- port the success I have had in treating and preventing Spanish influenza with vaccine. I have given over 1000 inocu- lations with 100 per cent protection and l treated several hundred cases with no
 deaths. Prior to the time I used vac | cine nearly every one exposed to the disease contracted it. Now I blot it
 out of every house at my first visit by inoculating the entire family"
 This so-called evidence has not yet
 been submitted in any scientific man
 ner with the necessary facts and de-

tails to permit any judgment what ever to be formed as to it's true value. In the meantime, we should not forget that in it's natural course, epidemic in
 fluenza is affecting different, even ad
 jacent, communities with widely vary ing degrees of severity, and that vac cination in an institution after the dis ease has appeared can have no value as an experiment because it may have been done in the wane of the epidemic. Finally we repeat: Vaccination against epidemic influenza is in a wholly experimental stage. Nothing can be learned as to it's real value from indiscriminate vaccination of the pub
 lie. The physician who, in view of the severity of the epidemic, feels that he is justified in vaccinating his patients, should be fair to them and protect himself by informing the patient that he regards the procedure as wholly of an experimental nature. Pending developments, nothing should be done by the medical profession that may arouse unwarranted hope among the public and be followed by disap- pointment and distrust of medical science and the medical profession.

METZ OF INTEREST TO AMERICA

Since the great battle that wiped out the St Mhiel salient in the beginning of September the cta des and spires of Metz have lain plain before the eyes of the American army and within range of the American guns. As it happens, it is with peculiar appropriateness that Metz is made the objective of the American armies.
 Cumberland who was the brother of King George IT. of England was travelling in France, and one day he arrived at the town of Metz then French possession certain Count De Broglie, veteran of battles was in command of the garrison, and, honor to his distinguished visitor he invited some of his of ficers to meet him at dinner Now it happened that the Duke of Cumberland in disfavor with his royal brother-he was in fact, in banshment He had lately received that certain majestys colonies in America had rebeled and declared them selves free, declining to be subject any longer to tyrannical king It would seem that the Duke of Cumberland told the story with gusto as if he were not altogether sorry that his brother was in trouble.
 One officer listened with particular attention. He was youth of 19, tall and thin, with long and reddish hair. His solemn expression and his what awkward manner contrasted strongly with the frivolous and grace of the other young officers present He a marquis of long descent, con- nected by marriage with of the greatest families in France, and he had at his disposition very large income He listened intently, he asked many eager questions and when he from the table he had made a momentous and historic resolution. He had resolved abandon the pleasures of the gayest court in the world leave his young wife and child and to cast in his lot with these strange rebels in America In his own words, When first heard of American independence, my heart lsted." That young Lafayette and when the American army went to the front in France it merely paid small part of the debt of gratitude that splendid young officer-that true nobleman From the Literary Digest.

 Three towns of northern France have given their names to articles of every day commerce-Cambrai from which "cambrc" is derived; Arras. a term ap- piled to a certain kind of tapestry and Valenciennes noted it's lace in olden times. Cambrai, too is sociaed with the the great French ecclesiastic moraist Francois Fenelon statue of whom stood in the cathedral before the Germans captured the town-now retaken by the British.

A Greater Wealth Machine.

While the United States is not as rich as it could have been if there had been war; is richer than 1t would have been and richer than it was before war and it has been put in the way much rapidly to increase its wealth. because of the That is opinion of George E. Roberts of the National City Bank of New York.
 It was industrial capacity alone that saved the nation and the world. It had though never be- fore been fully employed. We knew that great con- cerns like the United States Steel corporation could and did, perform wonders, and generally we had a fair impression of our ability to make and devise things. It may be that impression was an ex- agseraton; that thought we could do things greater than had been done The war called upon us to do them and they have been done
 Greater things still be done after the war and then we will not suffer from the waste of the war;

WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME
 By Amy Pearl cozby.

Oh, we spent day rejoicing
 When the kaiser quit his throne, And night in gladness voicing
 When the news of peace was known; But our cheers and shouts of gladness Will resound OCT oceans foam, And our joy be akin to madness,
 When the boys come home, For we'll see them marching proudly
 Down the center of the street, Hear the people cheering loudly
 As returning braves they greet; Hear the shouts of mothers ringing
 From the earth to heavens dome. And the girls sweet voices singing,
 When the boys come home! But therell be a note of sadness
 In our revelry and cheer, And in hours of pomp and gladness
 We will pause to drop tear For the brave ones who lie sleeping
 Far beyond the oceans foam; For the broken-he weeping.

The Laredo Conference.

When we heard that a great labor conference, the pan-American conference, was to be held at Laredo Texas, it seemed to that that strange place for such meeting, geographically strange Laredo is an unimportant town situated at extreme edge of the country. If it a little farther removed it would be the country. It is line of travel and it's equipment of hostelries is not adequate to great gathering .-.
 It is in part of the country remote from any in- dustria center and it is other country than Mexico where the labor movement is quite different from the movement in the United States. The labor movement in Mexico has been essentially political movement; it's aims have always been political The first Mexican labor leaders of whom heard strk- ngy resembled the lilies of the field only in that they toied not They came into this country some three or four years in advance of the Diaz revolution and most of them quickly acquired familiarity with the interiors jails in Texas, New Mexico Arizona and California,
 They called themselves, at first revolutionists, but little later it discovered that they enter taned notions similar which afterward became better known through the agency of the L ". W. revouonsts got to be labor representatives but representatives of what workers we have never clearly understood.
 The character of the Mexican leaders with whom our labor leaders have foregathered at Laredo has been pretty well disclosed in their resolution favorng freedom for the American l. W. w whom have lately sent to penitentaries for long enemies of country. It is the credit of representa- lives at Laredo that this resolution rejected.
 But it serves to show very conclusively the char acter the labor movement in Mexico if there is or ever has been such a movement there outside the circle of the ex-revoutionists.
 It seems to that it would have been better to hold pan-American labor conference at the other end of the country, not far from the Canadian line There our delegates would have met delegates with whom they have something in common and the con- ference would have been given labor rather than political conditions.

SLAVE AND EMPEROR

"Our cavalry have rescued Nazareth from the enemy, whose supermen described Christianity creed for slaves" The Emperor mocked at Nazareth In his almighty hour. The Slave that bowed himself to death And walked with slaves in Nazareth What his words but wasted breath Yet in the darkest hour of all.
 When black defeat began, The Emperor heard the mountains quake, He felt the graves beneath him shake He watched his legions rally and break. And he whimpered they ~I hear shout that moves the earth. A cry that wakes the dead! Will no one tell me whence they come, For all my messengers are dumb? What power is this that comes to birth And breaks my power?" he said. .--.- Then, all around his laundering guns, Though dawn not far, The darkness filled with living fear That whispered at the Emperor's ear, 'HThe armies of the dead draw
 Beneath eastern star" The trumpet blows in Nazareth.
 The Star is risen again! Across the bitter wastes of death, The horsemen ride from Nazareth, And the Power he mocked wasted breath Returns in power, to reign Rides on, in white, through Nazareth,
 To save His world again.

To be possessed of a head of heavy, beautiful hair; soft lustrous, fluffy, wavy and free from dandruff is mere ly matter of using little Danderine.
 It is easy and inexpensive to have nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine now-it costs but few cents-all drug stores recommend it-apply a little as directed and within ten minutes there will be an appearance of abundance, freshness, fluffiness and an incompar able gloss and lustre, and try as you will you can not find a trace of dan- druff or falling hair; but your real surprise will be after about two weeks use, when you will see new hair-fine and downy at first-yes- but really new hair-sprouting out all over your scalp-Danderine is, we be- lieve, the only sure hair grower, de- stroyer of dandruff and cure for itchy scalp, and it never fails to stop fall ing, hair at once.
 If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair taking one small strand at a time. Your hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful in just few moments-a delightful surprise awaits everyone who tries this--Adr-

vOIATOR PUNISHED

For excess charges and unfair
profits, the F. C. Ayres Mercantile
company have contributed 5000 to
the American Red Cross, has been
forced to refund the overcharge to
the victimized company and has had
its license revoked for one month be-
ginning July Is, by order of the
United States Food Administration.
With a maximum fixed profit Of
s1.5O a ton on mill feeds, the Ayres
company charged and received from
the Sterling Milling company $3.50
profit. With fixed profit Of from
so to rs cents barrel, this same
company charged over the maximum
profit for both hard and soft wheat
flours.
The only explanation for such vio-
lations offered by j. L. Barr, mana
ger OF the offending concern, was
that the company, because of over
head costs, could not get a reason
able return unless it charged over
the maximum rate permitted by the
