MINNESOTA JOINS
NATIONWIDE DRIVE
AGAINST ACCIDENTS
September Set as Month to Cut
Toll of Automobile
Deaths in State

Churches, schools, civic organiza-
tons and farm clubs of Minnesota
have been called upon by Governor
Floy' B. Olson to join in nationwide
progrLm for the prevention Of auto
mobile accidents during the month OF
September.
The governor, in an executive pro-
clamation, designates next month as
a period for special consideration OF
the human and mechanical causes OF
motor vehicle accidents. Executives
of a majority of the other states have
taken similar action, he said.
In his proclamation the governor
calls attention to the fact that auto
mobile deaths in the state during the
last four months of 1882 increased
six percent over the second -four
months and seventy-six (76) percent
over the first four months. He also
points out that the automobile death
rate in Minnesota last year was sew
en- percent greater than the death
rate in the entire west north central
territory.
Copies of the proclamation and sug-
gestions for placing safety" in
meeting programs are being forward
ed to organizations by the Minnesota
Safety Council which has been named
by Governor Olson to serve as the
clearing house" for information on
the movement.
The safety councils participation
in the months activities, according to
Colonel Frank w. Matson, president
will be in connection with the "Drive
Carefully" campaign inaugurateo
last March, which will continue
through October.
Every community service organiza.
ton in the state is being urged to
give time to discussion of the traf-
ic accident situation at every meet
ing of the month. 1t will not be
possible, Colonel Matson said, to fur.
nish speakers to all organizations
but the safety council will gladly sup
ply information for talks if clubs will
provide their own speakers. The con.
certed effort is designed to imp owe
on the states score of 451 killed ano
more than $4,000 injured in street
and highway accidents last year
Police officials in many places have
offered their services to make talks in
their own and neighboring communi-
ties.

ANY DAY is A GOOD ONE
FOR HEALTH RESOLUTIONS
Three Are Suggested That Make
For Mouth Health In People

If you failed to make certain
worthwhile resolutions at the begin
ming of 1888, don't wait until next
year to make them, is the advice of
DR.. Richard C. Leonard, Chief of the
Division of Oral Hygiene of the Mary
land Department of Health. "There
are many resolutions worth making
and keeping" DIR. Leonard said, "for
the sake of ones health, in which
postponement may be dangerous.
Three that make for mouth health are:
81. To include in your diet those
foods that protect against tooth de-
cay and other mouth diseases.
"2. To visit your dentist at least
twice yearly for mouth examination
and the necessary correction of de-
fects.
"3. To cleanse the mouth properly
at least twice daily.
1.-THE foods we eat make for or
against mouth health. But protection
through diet does not demand rare,
expensive and unpalatable foods. All
that is required is an adequate supply
of the mineral salts and vitamins
found in dairy products, whole grain
cereals, green leafy vegetables and in
fresh fruit juices. In addition, sun
light and cod liver oil are needed by
the growing child. Your doctor will
advise you in regard to the amount Of
cod liver oil required.
1.-THE resolution regarding semi-an-
nual dental visits should include a
second one to look upon dental exam
nations and treatment as preventives
of possible ill health rather than an
unpleasant ordeal. Regular dental
visits or early ones lat the very first
sign of pain) will eliminate the too
common and unfair dread of the den
lists Office.
"a resolution to keep the mouth
clean should be started by learning
how best to do so. Ask your dentist
how you should clean your teeth. DO
not base your resolution to keep your
mouth and teeth clean and healthy on
faith in any particular tooth paste.
Resolve to spend the time necessary
twice daily for the proper mouth
cleansing, so universally recognized as
one of the important factors of mouth
health.
"a fourth resolution is perhaps
the most important. That is, to re-
solve to keep the other three through
out 1888 and the years to come. If you
failed to make these resolutions on
New Years Day, make them now.
Health does not recognize holidays.
Any day is a good day to make health
resolutions"

THE MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

We accordingly find that a version
in that language called the ITALIA was
made about the middle of the second
century. 1t was a translation of the
Old Testament from the Septuagint.
In the time of Augustine many trans
lations of the Old Testament existed,
but he preferred the italia to all others
on account of its close adherence to
the letter as well as the clearness of
its language.
Jerome undertook a revision of the
many Latin texts existing in his day,
but the great part of the revision per-
ished during his life.
While Jerome lived in Bethlehem
he made a Latin translation of the
Old Testament from the Hebrew text.
This was between 1872 and 4O5 A. D.
His profound knowledge of the He
brew, derived from the rabbis, his ac-
quaintance with previous Latin YER
sions and his critical judgment and
carefulness, admirably fitted him for
his task. At first his work met with
great opposition, as might have been
expected from its many departures
from the existing Latin version; but it
gradually came into use, so that in
the seventh century its authority was
recognized by the Western Church,
and under the name of Vulgata (Vul-
gate) it is still considered by the
Church of Rome as a standard au-

Sometime toward the latter part of
the third century A. D. learned Syr-
ian named Ephraem refers to the
Syriac version of the Old Testament
and the New as "our vision" an allu-
sion to the Bible in the vernacular of
the Syrian people. This translation,
called the Peshito, meaning plain, lit
eral, was so called because of it's fl
deity to the Hebrew and Greek texts.
1t was most probably made in the
second century. 1t is said to give an
excellent rendering of the original,
occasionally favoring some of the
readings of the Septuagint.
In all probability the Syriac trans
lation was made by group of Jew
ish Christians. 1t extends over the
Canonical books alone, and contains
none of the additions to the Hebrew
text found in the Septuagint. The
British and Foreign Bible Society had
an edition of the Peshito Bible pub
lished for the use of the Christians
of Malabar. This edition was pre-
pared by Prof. Lee, who collected sew
eral manuscripts for the purpose. 1t
appeared in London 109 years ago.
AS Christianity spread throughout
portions of Italy in the first century,
and in Northern Africa, where Latin
was the spoken and written language
of the educated, it was to be expected
that the Bible would at very early
noriod hn translated into Latin
