Another effort will be made at the next legislature, as there has at nearly ever session, to defeat the compulsory vaccination law. John Pitcairn, the wealthy retired railroad | men who died recently at Philadel- phia, bequeathed $10,000 to the anti-' smallpox vaccination society. The ' State Health Department has had to! fight to keep on the books the law | which was helped to keep down small- | pox. There are always so many mem- bers of the legislature who are too young to have recollections of the old smallpox epidemics, which prevailed | before vaccination mastered the dis- ease and among those men principally the anti-vacinationists have gathered votes for the repeal of the bill.

Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by Samuel G. Dixon. No single invention has mad: pos- sible greater saving of human life than the microscope. Its origin dates back to antiquity. There is every rea- 'son to believe’ that the ancients had some knowledge of the use of the sin- zle lens. The ¢onipound microscope was probably invented shortly after the middle ages. The Italians and the Dutch both claim the discovery. f These ancient microscopes were very rude instruments compared with those of to-day. They were, however, sufficiently powerful to reveal myri- ads of living things in the clear, at- mosphere as well as in a clear tum: bler of water, but they left us to imagine a great unseen living world beyond the power of the new instru. ment, and that is even so today with our most improved microscopes. In the hands of scientists the micro scope has revealed from time. to | time a teeming life of bacteria. every where present. Some of these minute organisms are the friends and some the deadly foes of + man. Vegetable| Y. and animal life Yepends’ uron their | work. 3 Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, typhus fever, tetanus and other diseases are the result of certain of these bacte- ria which can only be seen by the aid of the microscope. There is evidence but as yet no positive proof that they are responsiblé for many other diseas- ;es, the aetiology of which is yet un; i known. An army of scientific workers is to- ‘day occupied in the study of bacte- I riology for the purpose of discover- ling the organisms that produce the different diseases, and then to push on with the idea of discovering that which would produce immunity or cure. Ths work is vital to the wel- fare of humanity—indeed it is that which forms the foundatton of pre- paredness. There is a constant warfare be- tween these little single celled organ- | isms and man. The bacteria have the advantage of reproducing themselves in untold numbers and of adaptiog themselves to different environments ‘and when the conditions surrounding them suit their existence they , produce great epidemics of disease that man is unable to resist. The fight is an interesting one as man has al |ready discovered how to combat suc- cessfully many diseases which for centuries baffled the skill of science. 'ST. PAUL'S REFORMED CHURCH PICNIC.
