A safe rule to follow is to
vaccinate every seven or eight
years and when smallpox is
around to vaccinate everyone
irrespective Of age, who has not
been vaccinated successfully
within the previous five years.
Infancy is a better time for
establishing immunity against
the dread disease smallpox than
later. Indeed. the constitu-
tional upset that occasionally
accompanies vaccination is less
likely to occur if the child be
vaccinated before the end Of
the first month than six
months or later.
In children who, are not
doing we'll as regards general
nutrition vaccination may be
deferred for a time unless such
delay may subject the child to
smallpox. If so, vaccinate by
all means.
After the scratch has been
made on the skin and the
virus of cow-pox rubbed in,
nothing occurs for three or
four days.
Then a red, raised place ap-

This blister gradually gets

Although opposition to vacci-
nation is still voiced now and
then in different sections of the
country. there can be no ques-
ton but what the general public
is becoming more and more en-
lightened on this highly import
ant subject.
1t is a mistake to believe that
when the physician vaccinates
he is giving disease to another
which is dangerous.
On the contrary, not only is
vaccination not dangerous, now
adays, it is done so expertly
that only the smallest sort of
scar remains in the successful
cases - namely, those that
take"
1t is true that when one is
vaccinated a condition known
as "vaccinia" or "cow-pox" is
introduced into the system. But
this is such a mild affair that
no one should even hesitate to
have it done as a safeguard
against that truly dangerous
and even filthy disease called
smallpox.
In Holland, before compulsory
vaccination of children prior to
entering school became law,
there were 80 deaths from small
poX in every 100000 of the popu-
lation. After the law of 1873
was passed the deaths in every
100000 of the population fell in
some years as low as one or
two.
In Prussia similar statistics
have been gathered; :; likewise in
many other countries, proving
beyond a doubt the tremen-
dously protective value Of vacci-
nation.
We must not be led astray
because we think our Govern
ment is very alert and efficient
regarding health examinations
at the various ports of entry.

in different sections of the

There Is much mystery and
a world of misunderstanding
still associated with the name
of Albert Einstein. It is be-
lieved by the general public,
although not by mathematicians
and physicists, that Einstein's
theories represent a complete
break with the past.
The real truth of the matter
is that Einstein consolidated
the gains of the past and went
further forward to new triumphs.
Thirty years ago Lord Kelvin
said, in addressing the Royal
Institution of Great Britain,
that there were two clouds on
the horizon. These clouds
threatened the carefully erected
scientific structure of the past.
These two clouds gradually
spread and ominously covered
the heavens.
They might be given the
names of the discrepancies 70
garding energy and ether. They
may be said to embody the
Michelson-Morley experiment
and the quantum theory.
Until very recent times great
faith was expressed by physicists
in the concept of the ether.
Sir Oliver Lodge described it as
"one continuous substance fill
ing all which can
vibrate as light; which can be
sheared into positive and mega
tive electricity; which in whirls
constitutes matter, and which
transmits by continuity, and
not by impact, every action
and reaction of which matter
is capable"
When Einstein began to wreS-
tie with the discrepancies OF
modern physics and electro-dy-
namics he saw clearly that it
was necessary to set up q

theory which would reconcile
these differences.
It was a definite effort,
through generalization. to cor
relate and unity the discord-
ant features of the new physics.
The problem he faced was:
Where can we find a fixed
reference system in order to
determine absolute velocity?
The Michelson.Morley expert.
ment showed the hopelessness
of seeking such a medium in
the ether. Very recent expert
ments conducted by st. John
fully confirm the conclusion
that there is no known way of
determining absolute velocity
through the ether.
Einstein was not the only
physicist seeking to reconcile
these differences. Lorentz, the
Dutch physicist, who died only
the other day, anticipated Elm
stein by year in advancing q
theory very similar in technic
to special relativity.
Both Lorentz and Fitz-Gerald
attempted to explain the null
result of the Michelson-M Morley
experiment by assuming that a
body-say a bar of iron, NOV
ing in the direction of its own
lengths shortened a small
but appreciable amount. de
pending upon the size of the
velocity.
Einstein' derived almost the
same equations as Lorentz, but
he gave these an entirely diff
ferent Interpretation. He not
only poStulated that it was i'm
possible to detect the uniform
velocity Of a system, but ne
also laid down the principle
that the apparent velocity Of
light in empty space is un-
affected by relative motion be-
tween the observer and the
source Of light.

Evidently, the Brownsville and
