CARRIERS OF DREAD DISEASE
How Science Has Shown Children to
Be the Bearers of Deadly Diph-
iberia Germs.

There is probably no more difficult
or more unsatisfactory problem i'm
contagious diseases than that of the
diphthera carrier. Though the death
rate for diphtheria has been greatly re-
duced since the discovery of antitoxin
the mOrbidity rate has remained vir-
tually the same, says the Journal of
the American Medical Association.
Gelien, Moss and Guthrie found that
approximately 18 per cent of 500
healthy children In Baltimore were
carriers Of diphtheria bacilli at one
time or another, and about IL per cent
Of these were carriers Of virulent or
ganisms. They also found n higher
percentage of positive cultures in chill
dren with pathologic threats than in
those with normal threats. OF 80
children who yielded positive cultures
at the first examination, 20 had posi-
tive cultures two weeks later. After
four, six, eight, ten and twelve weeks,
the number Of positive cultures was
fifteen, eleven, twelve and six, respec-
lively.

Isinglass is the dried swimming blad-
der Of several varieties of fish. The
amOuntsOf gelatin I'm isinglass is from

IS prepared by tearing the air bladder
or sound from the back of the fish,
from which 1t has been lOosened by
striking several blows with a wooden
club, then washing in cold water. This
black outer skin Is removed with a
knife, again washed and spread on a
board to dry in the open air, with the
white shiny skin turned outward.
To prevent shriveling or shrinking the
bladder must be fastened to a drying
board. The best quality of isinglass
comes from sounds that are dried I'm

again moistened with warm water and
the interior shiny skin is removed by
hammering or rubbing. Finally, 1t is
rolled between two polished iron

Congressman King is one Of an in
creasing number of Republicans in the
House who are urging quick action
| on Philippine independence. Mr..
King is the author of a bill which pro-
vides that within one year the Philip
pine government, under presidential
proclamation, may assemble a conven-
ton and frame constitution.
After the constitution is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
| recognize the Philippine islands as "a
separate and self-governing nation"
The transfer of authority is to be
completed within one year. Provision
Is made for safeguarding American In
vestments in the Philippines and for
the providing of coaling stations and
submarine bases in the islands by the
United States.
Word from the Philippines is that
the people expect early independence
and will be sorely disappointed if they
do not get it.

argued by the professoriate that the

tartan impulses"
Congressman King called attention
to the fact that Filipinos are now
raising funds to erect a monument to
Admiral Dewey, which he said was in.
directly a tribute to the American peo-
pie as well as to Dewey. He recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
President Mckinley, which was as
follows:
''In my opinion these people Gill

more capable Of self government than

Congressman King then recited the
preamble TO the Jones law, passed
August 20, 1916, and declared 1t was
definite pledge of independence. The
preamble stated ut is as 1t has always
been the purpose of the people of
the United States TO withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their independence as
soon as stable government can be
established therein"
Congressman King stated there was
no question but that the Filipinos had
established the specified stable gov
eminent and, therefore, it is the
solemn duty Of the United States to
grant the promised independence.

How TubercIe BaciIIi Enter.

Drs. +. Christin and f. Navills state
in the Annales de Medicine (Paris)
that tubercle bacilli enter the body
just as often through the stomach as
through the breathing apparatus. They
assert that these germs can pass
through membranes without leaving Il
sign of their passage and are carried
by the lymph stream to the lungs or to
other organs.

HOW
CODE OF THE PILGRIMS
DEALT WITH PROFITEERS.
-Profiteering began in this cOun-
try with the coming of the Pill
grims. The protest against this
form of greed came almost as
soon from the same Pilgrims.
That 1t was certainly unique
there is no doubt, take 1t from
the record Of the First church,
In Boston, for the year 1889.
According to this record the
first profiteer to be hailed before
the court of public opinion was
Robert Keavne, bigwig Of that
city. He was publicly admOn-
ished against excessive rates for
his wares, because 1t was dis
honor to Gods name, an offense
to the general court and pub
liQue scandal to the country"
His minister administered the
public rebuke. And not only
was Brother Keavne called to
account before the congregation,
but the dominic went to some
pains to indicate the true from
the false rules Of trade.
The false principles were
these: That man might sell
as dear as he can and buy as
cheap as he can. If man lose
by casualty at sea or in some Of
his commodities, he may raise
the price of the rest. That he
may sell as he bought, though
he paid too dear and the COM
modify be fallen. That as q man
may take advantage Of his own
skill or ability, so he may Of an
others ignorance or necessity.
Some of the parsons rules for
trading that were approved at
this extraordinary meeting read
as follows in the old record: A
man may not sell above the cur
rent price. When a man loseth
in any commodity for want CT
skill he must look to his own
fault, and not lay it to another.
When man lOseth by casualty
1t Is loss cast upon himself
by Providence that he may not
ease by casting on another.
When there is a scarcity Of COM
modify then may he raise their
price. A man may not ask more
for his commodity than his sell
ing price.
Was this latter rule the begin
ming of the one-price system?--

Of the money as he had been abb
sent 50 years and had not been
heard from for Is years. On her re-
turn home she was impressed with
the fact that he must be living and
wrote several post masters in the
state of Kansas, where she had last
heard from him. A reply from the
post master at Chautauqua. Kansas,
told her that her brother. VIM. Sir

and was the first man in the post
office every morning. That he had
known him since 1895, that he was
a fine fellow and quite prominent
man in the community. The news
brought rejoicing to the home of
Mrs. Boyd who 3 sure that earnest
prayers are answered.
