He looked in the wrong place for effects, lie fed tuberculous human sputum to healthy calves, and after killing them, a few months later, examined the intestinal canals. He could detect no signs of trouble there, and inferred that none had boon ex perienced. Dr. Sidney Martin, for the British royal commission, repeated these very tests, but sought in dications of infection elsewhere, and found them! He concluded that the germs penetrated the body by other avenues than the intestine, unless the sur face of the latter had been injured. Koch's belief that tho germs of bovine tuber culosis could not hurt a human subject was a mere surmise, based on the fact that among children an exceedingly small proportion of eases of intestinal consumption are observed. Dr. Martin's experiments, by showing that the effect of contaminated food may be felt in another part of an animal's body, are strongly suggestive of the danger to which children are exposed, and have fully as great force as Koch's guess. Furthermore, a number of physicians have m the last few years inoculated themselves or other e JUST FOR INSTANCE. Ont of Now York' four hundred has been sued for ft grocery Mil And had to iny It.

But no matter what aid may be given by the parents, heavy responsibilities still rest npon the eonscientous teacher and the mere book teaching does not begin to cover them, nor is it even the most important element in the work. "Decent compensation insures good talent and the best efforts. "When the compensation in Portland falls below the figures which are offered in other cities in this region, Portland cannot expect to com mand the services of the best qualified teachers. "With two and a half months in which they can expect no wages, with the future staring them in the face as it does every wage worker, they must in self de fense seek out their services. In the main Portland haa Jippti Ptppcrlinclv fortunate in this respect. Its tcnohorQ will average verv well with teachers in corresponding grades in other cities on the coast But just because many of them are forced through circumstances to remain here and accept what is offered them, is no reason why a rich municipality like Portland should take advantage of them. The eity should be ready and willing to pay for whatever service is rendered it. Its teachers should be decent ly paid and whatever the school directors can legi- timatedly do in this direction the public will ap prove." JUDGMENT AGAINST KOCH. Though the world owes a great debt to the dis covery of the bacillus of tuberculosis, it is steadily coming to realize that he is not an infallible an thority concerning that disease. Prior to 1901 the medical profession was in general, though not abso lute, accord about the practical identity of the hu man and bovine forms of the malady. In an inter national congress in London that year Koch uttered the opinion that they were essentially different, and that the two varieties were not intercommunicable. The declaration proved a profound sensation, but it was received with much skepticism. Even then there was a considerable volume of evidence pointing in the opposite direction. However, further investi gation was desirable, if not necessary, and it has since been carried on under official and unofficial auspices with vigor, both in America and Europe. The latest verdict, frora the royal commission in England, is adverse to Koch, as have been nearly all the import ant utterances of the last three years upon the subject-.. Today, therefore, the eminent German is al most alone in believing that tuberculosis cannot be conveyed to man from cattle and to cattle from man. : Upn a question of this sort, obviously, negative testimony may be less valuable than positive testi mony. If equally competent experts make tests and secure different results, it may be hard to say why one set of experiments failed and why another suc ceeded. Still, if disease is transmitted by feeding or inoculation in only a limited number of cases, that fact demonstrates an alarming possibility.

In large cities protection is often afforded by a rigid supervision of the traffic The people of the United States Bpend annually for literature, including books, newspapers and peri odicals, a total of $174,965,625. The same people spend annually for malt and alcoholic liquors the enormous sum of $1,$74,225,928. Whisky and beer cost annually five times as much as books, newspapers and magazines. Prosperity has an affinity for prosperity. Think about it. The more you study the subject the clearer will this become. Having studied the subject prop erly, turn your attention to needs of your city and think what you can do for the good of the town. You will find it a very enjoyable and profitable occupation. by officials designated by boards of health. There can be no harm, though, in the adoption of additional precautions by the buyer. He can insure a safe sup ply by purchasing through agencies that are them selves a guarantee of purity, or he can learn to Pasteurize the milk himself and thus rid it of germs. s The income of the emperor of Russia is $25,000 a day; the sultan of Turkey, $18,000; emperor of Austria, $5,000; German emperor, $8,000; king of Italy, $6,000; king of England, $6,500; king of Belgium, $6,500; president of France, $5,000; presi dent of the United States, $130. HERE AT HOME. In St. Paul the health officers compel persons who spit on sidewalks to take out their handkerchiefs and mop up the places they have befouled. If this prac tice is continued St. Paul ought speedily to become a Mecca of decent people. ...... There were eight more lynchings in 1903 than in 1902, the total for the United States being 104. No ess than 8597 persons committed suicide in this coun try last year. The number of homicides increased from 8834 to 8976 in 1903. The spirits distilled in the United States for the fiscal year amounted to 141,000,000 gallons: an in crease of 13,000,000 gallons over the previous year, although the number of distilleries diminished 497. Over 3,000,000,000 pennies have been shipped from the Philadelphia mint in the past five years. Placed side by side they would reach 23,000 miles or nearly around the earth.

My back began to ache, and as time rolled by It kept getting worse Instead of better. It finally grew so bad that I could scarcely stoop or straighten after stooping. When I did any work requiring bending I could hardly get up, and I had headaches, dizzy spells and at times everything before me looked blurred. I was Just about to start to the store for a plaster to put on my back when I read about Doan's Kidney Pills, and they were so highly recommended for kidney trouble, made up my mind to try them, and procured a box at Charles Rogers' drug store, on Commercial street. They went right to the root of the disease and helped me from the start, and be fore I had finished the box I was cured. Everything is changed with me now, and I have no symptoms of kidney trouble whatever." For sale by all dealers; price, COc. Foster-MHburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States.
