THE WAR GERM.
Modi fid science has increased in power and wrought many
miracles during the past few years. As the ferret is introduced
inle a biiihliiie' to destroy the rats that infest it, science now in
i' ct- into a sick man\s arteries a germ to fight and kill the other
ini that i- lea-ding upon and fast destroying the life of the
I" 'son who il inhabits. Thus diphtheria is not much longer
loured tor the tenet has been found to kill its venom.
In other cases a serum introduced’ into tin* circulation
■'lands always on guard to kill the germs that may be intro
duced t hrough the water drank or foul air breathed. This kills
the nn of’typhoid, another gives to smallpox and infantile
I•araly-'is. Again the causes of certain diseases have been traced
"'ll and people are warned to give those no food to fatten upon,
and also to smother them so soon as they are born. This has
about removed the fear of yellow and Panama fevers.
Auaiii, there are other enemies of life, like the hook worm,
that are easily disposed of, hut it seems impossible to arouse
people to its danger and’ provide against it.
But there are other fearful enemies to life that no anti
dote has been found for them, no preventative to keep them
a way.
However, the achievements have been so great that the
sanguine men in the profession believe that science will eventu
ally triumph and all diseases will he relegated hack to the Pan
dora l>o\ from which they emanated and the box will be closed
and locked.
Lord Bryce wants, when tin* present war is fought to a fin
i-li,'such a peace made as will insure the word against future
wars, and wants the 1’nitcd States called into assist in the ad
justment. It is a generous thought; we are sure our government
will respond to such a call, if it does not first inaugurate a plan
for peace, hut, really, what Lord Bryce wants is as yet impos
i hi", for no serum has been found that can kill the fierce germ
of war in tin hearts of men; no preventative that can meet it
and smother it in its inception.

II <li->-:iscs, so good men read their bibles and believe that the
will come when the nations will learn war no more. But
the nations are not yet prepared for that time—the wild beast

As medical scientists hope eventually to subdue or prevent
,:l! diseases, so good men read their bibles and believe that the
one will come when the nations will learn war no more. But
e nations are not yet prepared for that time—the wild beast
in tie souls of men is still in its full strength.
it has been found' that many of the most virulent diseases
t\ their germs originate and nursed to full strength by filth.
It is in the filth of ignorance, superstition, hatred, envy,
iiia i and the lust of power and avarice that the germs of war
ai ■ hatched and brought to full growth in the hearts of nations.
At this stage of the world, nations should strive to keep their
hearts five fruiii that filth that they give no offense. At the
anie time they should see that their shores and their people
are provided with the best known preventives to keep the
germs of war away and combat them in case they effect a
.Hiding. , i ■ X & -itm, & + m.1

A (’alifornia omnibus driver tried to beat a train to a cross
ing ivci ntly, and did so. He reached the goal a brief second be
fore the locomotive reached it. The car .just nicely got across

journey with the driver, who paid the supreme penalty for be
