Trichinosis

+. HIS there any preventive
against infection with trichina?
Yes; the most radical preventive Is
abstention from pork. For the swine

rats eaten by them, and trichinn select
by preference the psoas and iliacas,

and other parts of the swine most.

not abstain from eating pork, see at
least to it that the meat in cooking be
subjected to a very high Temperature,

is simple test for ascertsining the
temperature in meat from the condi-
ton Of the muscular pigment. If on
squeezing piece OF boiled or roasted
meat there appears over the cut sur
face turbid LIQUID, then the required
temperature Of Sc degrees has rot yet

the liquid is clear. At 10 to ~ degrees

whole of Turkey should be placed
under benevolent control. In Egypt
certainly law and order have helped
the many Moslems quite as much as
the few Christians. An ideal solu-
ton for the Near East would be an
American protectorate, following on
the lines Of social service and educa-
|tion already pursued by American
missions in Armenia and CONSTANT
nople. In any event, the great pow
ers will have tc organize safety for
life and property in these regions.
Africa is another case. It makes
no particle of difference to England
whether or not the German colonies
are handed back to the Kaiser. This,
however, is matter on which South
Africa, and especially the Dutch
population represented by General
Botha and General SHUTS, feels very
keenly. They are afraid that Ger
many would arm the natives and so
rend Africa in twain. They are as
determined to establish the United
States Of Africa as you were deter
mined to establish the United States
of America, and they decline alto
gether to bargain away the destinies
Of Africa in order to obtain peace in
Europe. Natives in Africa have had
hard time Of it. Slave-raiding was
followed by the rubber business, and
the rubber business is accompanied
by rum. All kinds of abuse of power
should be sternly repressed by an in
ternational authority, and no nation
should be permitted to exercise SOW
ereignty over natives which fails to
observe the dictates of humanity.
In saying this / am making no
selfish claim on behalf of Great Brit
ain. On the contrary, I submit that
no country could have shown an ex-
ample of more complete disinter-
estedness in this war than England

colonies began their existence under
governors and officials. They now
govern themselves. 1t is possible
that in one or two cases they will try
to govern other people, which will
have nothing to do with England.
This evolution from tutelage to
liberty is proceeding all over the
British Empire, sometimes slowly,
sometimes quickly. The most diff
cult case is that of tropical Africa,
but even there, in Uganda, the mis-
sionaries have assisted the magis-
trates and established a Christian
civilization. Some years ago l spent
a week end with the young King of
Uganda, whose dynasty is, l believe,
nearly thirty generations old. He
and his suite attended an English
church and shared meals with an
English family in the country home
of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, whose
grandfather led our movement to
free the slaves.
The word empire undoubtedly
means rule. For this reason Cen
eral SHUTS said recently that there
is no British Empire in that sense.
There is a system of education, and
nowhere is it working more swiftly
than in India. During the last ten
years the progress of India has been
rs rapid as the progress of Russia,
but with this difference-the govern
ment of India has kept in touch with
the people and moved forward with
the people, SO that the fabric of So
eiety is still intact.
1t is the aim Of England to keen
the peace in India between Buddhists
and Mahometans until that vast
country, with it's two hundred and
fifty millions of people, energies as
the United States of Southern Asia
each province enjoying it's own
form of government and all acknowl-
edslng one loyalty to the country as
a whole.
Some provinces may retain their
ancient monarchical institutions.
Others already enjoy legislatures
which are as representative as the
British Parliament was in 1776.

tralia, which is, in all save name. a
republic with states coordinated Ike
your own You have the Monroe
Doctrine, which has forced you to
deal, with the Caribbean Sea. Aus
tralia is equally concerned with her
Monroe Doctrine. She has, like the
United States, long and exposed
coast. 1t is as unpleasant for her to
have submarine bases among the
neighboring islands as it would be
for North and South America to
have submarine bases in Porto Rico
or Santo Domingo. The situations
are precisely parallel. The same ar
gument applies to the Dutch portion
CT New Guinea. Holland is to-day
overshadowed by German autocratic
power.
Before the war Germany was
openly preparing to develop Dutch
ports in Europe as naval bases
against England. Is it right that
Australia should be asked to sit still
while similar preparations are made
against her integrity? New Tea
land is also involved, and New Zea-
land is also in all essentials a re-
public. Some proposal must there
fore be made which viii furnish
good government and reasonable
safeguards in the Southern archi-.
pelago.
Americans must get out of their
minds that this is an English prob
lem. 1t is just as much an Irish
problem, for in Australia there is a
large Irish population, to say moth
ing of Scotchmen.
1t is not easy, doubtless, for Brit
ish statesmen to accommodate them
, selves to the international idea.
Hitherto we have had to work out
these problems by ourselves, without
American sympathy or assistance,
but the time has come when we all
recognize that Britain has no spe-
cisl responsibility for securing the
wellbeing of the world. That is as
much an American obligation as it
is ours. 1t is a French obligation,
an Italian obligation, and we must
work together.
Disinterestedness in the case of
Britain as in the case of America,
and / believe in every case, may be
taken for granted. It goes without
saying, and in this virtue no one of
us has any prominence over the
other; we are all alike, and we are
all human The British press and
the British people go with President
Wilson all the way in this direction,
which is indeed the direction laid
down from the first in this war by
Mr.. Lloyd George, Mr.. Asquith and
Lord Grey.
What we have now to decide is
: I how to put our Observation-Disclosures in
to actual practice-what is to be

She could not utter the last word.
She dropped into a chair, convulsed
with sobs, holding her head in her
hands.
Charlotte's delicate face, framed in
chestnut locks, into which some streaks
OF gray had crept, grew very pale.
This grief revived her own grief, her
similar bereavement, her despair, which
the months which passed could not
allay. With a great effort she col
lected herself, succeeded in depressing
her own sobs, and with gesture of
consolation approached her cousin.
The latter lifted her face, wet with
tears.

muttered. II am too unhappy Think

~ firms his pledge that America

should be offered at the peace con-
ference.
have been reading Newton D.
Bakers Frontiers of Freedom" and
I notice how frequently he insists on
the disinterested purposes of the
American people. Any one who
travels about this country and keeps
his ears open can testify to the sin
cerity of this attitude. At this mo-
ment America is free from what
George Washington called entang-
ling alliances with Europe. And in
President Wilson's fourteen points
there is not one that adds an acre to
American territory. The policy of
the United States is still based on
the belief that she best fulfils her
duty in the world by establishing
good government within her own
borders. AS Mr.. Baker says, her
expedition to Europe is a glorious
crusade-an unexampled outburst of
chivalrous knight errantry.
The question for us English who
follow President Wilson so closely is
whether our motives are equally
above suspicion. We have an en-
pire, and the practical question for
US is not how we got it. but what we
ought now to do with it. Are there
any provinces which in the opinion
of thoughtful Americans should be
surrendered? And, if so, what ar
rangements should be made for their
future administrations? Also, are
there any provinces that should be
added to the empire?
In both cases, we should base our
answers on what should be the aim
and end of human effort, and that is
the extension of human happiness.
You must remember that when
George Washington lived we were
already entangled. We belonged to
Europe. 1t was not our fault that
we were, even then, an old country.
Take first our existing empire. To
what extent is it q selfsh proposition
for England? SO far as Canada,
Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa are concerned, there is no en-
pire in the usual sense of that word.
Here are nations which can leave
England tomorrow without shot
being fired. Sir Robert Borden, of
Canada. carries on independent ne
gotiations with President Wilson on
matters of finance, and Mr.. Hughes,
Of Australia, discusses diplomacy
with President Wilson face to face.
In these dominions we see that the
British Empire is not fixed system,
but a method of progress. The

Sunday

L. G.-When and by whom was the
day we call Sunday first set apart as a
day Of rest and prayer? Has it ever
been changed?
The first observance of Sunday is in
the fourth century, when Constantine,
the first Christian Roman Emperor,
publicly ordered Sunday to su2plant
the Jewish Sabbath ,(Eusebius, Life of
Constantine, Lib. w. chapters IS and
221. He issued an edfct mot re-
curing its religious observance, but
simply abstinence from work) reading:
Let all the judges and people of the
towns rest and all the various trades
be suspended on the venerable day Of
the Sun" At the time Of the issue Of
the edict Constantine was a sun wor-
shipper. He refused to unite with the
Church until Immediately before bis
death (337).
At the Church Council iu 53S the re-
ligious observance OF Sunday was
recommended, but little attention was
paid to it. In 730 Aleuin. an English
prelate. became the spiritual adviser
of Chaslemagne, when for the first time
i was formally declared that the
Fourth Commandment covered the first
day of the week. bu. this declaration
was observed by comparatively few,
and for eight centuries thereafter sun-

A Scale of Digestibility


H. H.--What is the most digestible
food?
Rice, as it takes only one hour to
digest. incidentally, in o work by
great German authority on the sub
ject of foods we find a table showing
the digestibility of various foods that
will be Of interest in this connection.
1t takes to digest:
One and a-half hours: Beaten eggs,
barley water, roast game, baked apples
and pears, fruit sauce, boiled salmon
and trout, spinach, celery, asparagus,
mashed peas and beans, satmeal.
One and three-quarter hours
Cooked brains and sage.
Two hours: Boiled milk, raw eggs,
boiled barley, roast OK liver, boil
green apples, boiled Goldfish.
Two and one-Quarter hours: ! {

their husks.
Two and three quarter hours: Pud-
ding boiled tender, chicken fricassee,
oysters.
Three hours: Soft boiled eggs,
boiled perch, sole and turbot, cake.
Three and a-haif hours: Roast pork,
sailed butter, hard boiled eggs, old
cheese, fresh sausage, corned beef,
boiled potatoes, fresh wheaton bread,
boiled white cabbage, boiled onions.
Four hours: Boiled and roast poul-
try, roast veal, roast mutton, dry bread
with coffee.
Four and a-half hours: Boiled tender
mutton, fresh picked meat, sauerkraut
Five hours: Very hard boiled eggs,
stone fruit, cherries, plums, raisins,
almonds, nuts, mushrooms.
SIX hours: Old picked meat, fried
lampreys and fat eel.
1t is to be noted that an addition of
much oil, fat and acids renders diges-
ton difficult, while an addition of salt,
pepper, mustard, Old cheese, radish,
sugar and wine favors 1t considerably.

The call for bank statements of the

that locally in spite of the big Lib

showing any decrease. The statement

stantial increase in both assets and de-
posits. This is a gratifying condition.

FLU STILL DANGEROUS
Death List Has Left Many
Vacant Places.

The prompt and energetic measures
of the city and county health author
tiles have finally succeeded in reliev-
ing to some extent the appalling "flu"
situation in the city and county. In
the face of immense difficulties Mayor
Strain by constant work has succeeded
in getting the emergency hospital in
shape to successfully cope with the
situation and the tide of the disease
which has been on the increase has
begun to ebb little and people feel a
little easier in mind. There has been
a noble work done by the public Of
ficials, the small corps of physicians
left us by the war, and the volunteer
help at the hospital, and the heartfelt
thanks of the entire community is due
them for their work and sacrifices.
While there will still be many new
cases and some deaths probably the
receding. The greatest precautions
though should still be preserved, as
wherever there has been any let up in
other cities the plague has gained a
fresh start.
The emergency hospital is still
crowded with patients but the labor
situation has been greatly relieved by
the arrival of dozen naval hospital
apprentices which the government per-
mitted to come from Fort Lyon.
