much modification and anxiety to the
woman who has left her '30s and her
'40s behind her. Yet electricity, that

RAILROAD WAGE CUT.

1t is devoutly to be hoped that the
railroad workers will accept the small
cuts made in their pay in the spirit
becoming true Americans They must
realize that their pay should bear
some relation to the cost OF living,
and that with farm products already
on 1915 basis they could not expect
to enjoy wages double, and in some
places more than double the pre-war
basis. AS a matter Of fact the railroad
labor board was. very conservative in
making cuts. The section hands for
example, under the allowance made,
will receive in the South approximately
twice as much for eight hours labor
as the common farm labor will receive
for ten hour day.
Excessive freight and passenger
rates, made necessary because of the
doubled labor costs of operating the
railroads, have had much to do with
producing business stagnation. They
account In part for the fact that retail
prices have not always kept in line
with the prices received for raw mate
rails in either food or clothing. The
high wages and salaries received by
the railroad employees have resulted
In the practice of economies by the
railroads which have deprived thous
ands of men, trained in railroad work,
of an opportunity to earn anything. 1t
would be much better If all labor We're
employed. even at a lower wage than
to have a comparatively few at work
at big pay and millions unable to OBJ
tain employment.
1t cannot be successfully controvert-
ed that labor like money and most ev-
cry commodity, is subject to the law
OF supply and demand. Union labor is
as powerless in the face of this great
law as was the federal government
when It sought its repeal through al
legged 'profiteering" statutes. II is a
law that may be temporarily suspend
ed by artificial means but IN the end
1t is going to assert itself and the pub
lie will pay for every attempt to sus-
pend it.

The French bacteriOlogist Metalni-
kOw, in report Of his investigations
which he has just presented to the
Pasteur institute. states that for some
time past he has been experimenting
on the larvae of butterflies and moths.
and he has, he declares, discovered
that they have the power TO destroy
1all the most dangerous known bacllli.
He inoculated them win diphthtfta,
plague, tetanus and TUBERCULOSIS, Iapd
found that however heavy the dose the.
bacilli did not live, more sthaif d few
days in thssaarvaes which seemed. to
contain Notwithstanding juices. 'The
bacillus Of Koch, for example, which
lives In the body Of man for years after
1t once gets hold, was annihilated in
the body of the larvae Id two or three
days. 49, Tt't1 -
The vitality Of the larvae, the scien-
list declares, is enormous, and he has
not been able to. find any bacilli which
can obtain q hold on their bodies. Now.
he is endeavoring to isolate serum of
butterfly grubs with which he hopes to

Many years ago one John Masters
leased Palmerston island from the
British government, and, not believing
In half-measures, took unto himself
three native wives. By each he had
large and healthy family, which he
reared In strict accordance with his
own standards of social usage. That
they were sound standards is evil

today. They read, write and speak
English; this last with ain accent
vaguely reminiscent of the southwest
OF England. They are courteous, hos.
pitable and honest, to q degree moth

although naturally inbred, they do

changed all things. Tie Cook group,
of which ,Palmerston has been J. de-
