. In the ; states . where 'vac
cination ..Is strictly enforced,
the rumber of contagious dis
eases is.' greatly , reduced. The
government has Just Issued statistics
on vaccination for smallpox. In It la
point out that' In Maine where tbe
quarantine and vaccination laws are
strict, there were in 1911, 68 cases of
smallpox and no dearths; In Massachu
setts -only 11 cases; in New York
337 cases.
Dn tbe other band, in Texas where
laws are lax there were 687 cases and
51 deaths. In Utah were 1660 cases .
and 8 deaths; Washington 99 cases
and in Oregon, another lax state in
vaccination matters, 206 cases. The
parallel! Is apparent.", ' said a La
Grande physician in commenting on
tbe needs of strict vaccination laws
In all states. "In states of large cit
ies, the re suits would be serious If
It was not for well regulated quaran
tine and vaccination laws."

People will differ on politics, religion and nuiat every other subject
vader tbe sun, but there Is on.i thing that nlnely-iilne epopte out
of every huudred agrve on, I hat la; the superiority of
Electric Lights
over all ether kinds. The question naturally arises then: "Why are
ot all home lighted by electricity?" The answer Is simple. Home
eopie wbo are not familiar with tlghtiag progress still think that
electric liKtita are exienJlv. We are coornriug people daily of
the eyitu mt of electricity f r luiitlnit. Will you give us a chance
