our resistance is high, and it would require an enormous dose of almost any kind of germs to affect us. On the other hand, when our general health is poor, or when we are tired, or weakened from hunger, cold, loss of sleep or in fact from any cause, our resistance is low and compara- lively small dose of germs would find conditions favorable for growth. This is the reason we sometimes catch a cold, and again under similar conditions escape it. This is the req son why, for example, one member only in a household will contract diphtaeria when all the members have been equally exposed. Unfor- tunately we have no method of ac- eurately measuring our resistance, which varies fro mday to day, possi- ply even from hour to hour, and is not always indicated by the way we feel at the time. But we do know, positively, how the germs in 90 per cent of the contagious diseases enter the body-through the mouth and nose. This is why the first rule of personal hygiene is to wash the hands before eating, and against touching the mouth and nose with unwashed fingers, or putting things in the mouth without washing them, or using a soiled handkerchief, or coughing or sneezing without turning the head, When one having "cold" coughs or sneezes he simply sprays the air for several feet around him with germs, thus endangering every one in the vicinity. If we are thought ful we use handkerchief at these times, and if We.@ares wise we give Chose who don't wide berth.
 It is we'll to remember that infect ed water, food, fingers, drinking cups and soiled clothing carry us most of the diseases which we ',catch."

 Just as certain people still main there are people who deny, or at least ignore the fact that most of the dis eases of childhood are passed from person to person by bacteria, or germs, because these minute organ isms are so small they cannot be seen without the aid of microscope And this despite the fact that these germs are grown in laboratories as easily and as certainly as potatoes are grown in the garden, and produce their respective diseases as certainly as seeds reproduce vegetation. The secret of success in planting either seeds or germs isa suitable soil and favorable surroundings, which in the case Of disease-causing germs is nothing more than an effective dose 5.taken into a body having 3 lowered resistance. Several thousand varie ties of germs, or bacteria, have been 1 discovered and studied. As a matter of fact practically everything with which we come in contact is literally covered with them. But like a great friendly forest containing few poi sonous plants, onlyt a very few kinds of germs are harmful, and many are even beneficial. For example, it is germs in the yeast that causes bread to raise before baking, and it is germs in the soil that cause vegeta- ton to grow.
 Since we come in contact with all manner of germs every day, there must, be something that protects us 7 froma contracting the disease which they cause. There is. The normal human bodysis endowed with a fosce which enables us to overcome almost {. all kinds of infections. This force Is called resistance, and raises and lowers with the general state of health.

 Newspaper dispatches from outly- ing points give belated reports of greater disturbances than have been recorded thus far. In serious clash at Guadalajara, one of the strongest Catholic centers- in the country, six persons are reported to be dead and fl wounded.
 At Torreon, the newspapers re- port, one is dead and eight are wounded: one person was killed at Cuernavaca, and at Irapuato a woman, believed to have been a Protestant, is said to have been be- headed by a crowd frantically ex- cited over the suspension of Catholic services.
 Apparently the capital is feeling the situation much less than some other parts of the republic, but many business men are filled with fore bodings that sharp pinch and busi- ness showdown are due here soon unless settlement is reached.
 Small numbers of worshippers are seen in the Catholic churches, which has been the case every day since the withdrawal of the priests. The cathedral continues closed pending completion of the inventory of its treasures for the government.

NEW YORK BANKER WILL
 MEET GERMAN FINANCIER
Strong and Schacht Are Likely to Hold Conference in
 Switzerland,

Paris, Aug. 5 OP - Benjamin Strong. Jr, governor of the New York Federal Reserve bank, left the Paris region some days ago for Switzerland, and his coming meet ing with Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, head of the German Reichsbank, 1t is believed here, will probably take place in Switzerland. a-
 (Berlin dispatches last night said Mir. Strong and pr. Schacht would confer at Scheveningen. Hol- land, within a short time).
 While here, Mir. Strong had chateau some distance from Paris so as to be out of easy reach of curious visitors. He came into the city several times, and had con- ferences with s. Parker Gilbert, jr., agent general for reparation pay ments. He also called upon NJ. Mo reau, governor of the Bank of France, and NJ. Rist one of the vice-governors. It is understood he did not see Premier Poincare.
 His conversations at the Bank of France appear to have concerned various technical problems which the central banks in the various countries have in common. It is as- sumed by one of his banking friends here that, if he meets pr. Schacht, 1t will be to consider questions their respective banks have in com mon, without attempting to enter into such problems as the recon struction of European finance or the stabilization of the franc.
