VACCINATION DRIVE IN SMALLPOX WAR

Now that vaccination is to be en. forced with greater rigor one of the fairy stories told about it can be squashed. Sad to relate. this is neces- sary, as an intelligent appraisal of this modern insurance against smallpox is by no means fully &C., cepted.
 Vaccination is not a process of pouring filth into the blood" The government has tightly controlled the manufacture of vaccine lymph since 1902, and every particle of it is tested before sold. The vaccine is not ''pus," as this is carefully avoided during manufacture. Application of the lymph is far less disagreeable than a dose of many medicines, and has no more effect upon the bodily functions than many a gulp of chemicals needed in case of illnesA
 There have been only Al cases of lockjaw in many millions of cases of vaccination, and in each case the most thorough examination has dis closed that the lockjaw germ did not exist in the vaccine lymph. The only way for vaccination infection to develop under modern conditions is from carelessness or dirty habits. Many more persons have suffered infection, blood poisoning and lock- jaw from cutting bunions or corns with an infected knife than have been injured from vaccination.
 Knowledge of sanitation, purity of the vaccine, used and skill in appli- cation, have made of vaccine not only a blessing to man but an oper- ation-if that it can be called which is more harmless than lancing a boil.
 ] The U. s. Supreme Court has rul- ed, among other decisions favoring vaccination, that a state may dele gate to a municipality the power to prevent an unvaccinated child from attending school. This authority ex- ists in New Britain. The emergency is here and the school committee has shown no reluctance to neglect its plain duty.
 The superintendent of schools has been authorized to act with prompt ness. as IS necessary. Attendance at school will be denied those not vac cinated. unless they possess bona fide certificates from physicians in- dicating vaccination at this time is not justified by physical condition. Such cases are few.
 The citys public schools should not lag behind the parochial schools ill this important matter.
 The record of how vaccination against smallpox has benefited man. kind wherever applied is authorita- tive ely stated in all works Of refer euce. where intelligent citizenry can read and learn. Tn. astounding eff 
 cacy oG the mot nod has been prov en. In the United States. civilized as we are, the presence Of smallpox is Iit- tle short of q national disgrace in vi,w of the means at hand tc eliminate il

expectation he adds: When l 60 down

I have finished my days work. But
cannot say have finished my life. MY
DAYS work will begin again the nex'
morning. The tomb is not a blind al
lev: 1t Is a thoroughfare. 1t closes on

He is the supreme exponent and EN-
