A BOUQUET FOR THE ALDERMEN. Ee AYBE a little gentle praise from the Mayor will do the Alder- bs M men no harm—particularly as it is directed mainly at their | Phi? action in washing their hands of their old function of grant- }* ing stoop-line and stand licenses. “The requirement of the consent of the Alderman of the District | > in he iesvance of such licenses,” snys the Mayor in his message to the Beard, “has placed upon you a burden as annoying as it is illogical.” | This is delicately put and relegates a distinct public impression | thet certain Aldermen in the past have borne the burden of peity traffic in stand licenses without too great annoyance or outrage of thetr logical sense, to the realm of bygones. Nobody can help recalling that Mayor Mitchel himeelf in other days spoke lees Kindly of the Board of which he was then President. In fact he rated it roundly for an “antiquated and useless” body. President McAneny, pernaps he feels more confident of being able to Pry good works out of a dense and inert macs, The Mayor's message goes out of its way to commend the Alder- shen for “the businesslike and efficient manner in which your Board ) addressed iteelf to the probleme before it sinee the beginning of year,” and dwells on “the encouraging promise of a genuine dem- qneization of the usefulness of the legislative body in this city.” “~ Though the city may incline to smile good-naturedly at this gedden rosy light the Mayor has turned on the Aldermen, it is down deep only too anzious to see them deserve all the good that can bo ‘eaid of thom. The Board has itself to thank that level headed citizens oame to despise it and to talk seriously of the wisdom of abolishing ft. It now reste—es it always has rested—with the Aldermen them- @etves to prove their usefulness and re-establish themselves in tho public's good books. —$—_$_—__— ~ John D.

One thousand => five hundred and eighty-six were refused because of ignorance; 3,259 _ becatese of incompetency of witnesses. Yet many of those insufficiently weuched for were no doubt also ignorant and vice versa. Nevertheless, the fact that out of 92,908 persons who sought to “Become citizens of the United States during 1913 only 522 were do- ied on the specific ground of immore] character, not only indicates, | to the Commissioner of Naturalization pointe out, “the successful oper- ‘ellen of the law,” but aloo deserves the consideration of alarmists ) / who are forever trying to convince us that citizenship in this country ) fa being largely recruited from the “morel scum” of the rest of the a Balightened and benign government has its Iimitations—as \ 1¢ Js bound te feel when it gets hold ef en atrocious brigand tke Oastiilo. a HOW MUCH BEAUTY IS SAFE?

IR ALMROTH WRIGHT, the famous originator of the anti-typhel@ vaccine, pointed out in a recent address that nine-tenths of human diseases are minor ills due to microbe infection. And then the great therapeutist makes this cheering summary! “Vae~ cine apy will, I believe, help every man to keep under the ‘he essence of the inoculation method ‘s this: To cultivate the germs, of a given disease in a culture tube; to kill t! by heating to about rating a rather definite number of dead germs, with a hypodermic syringe, into the tissues of the person who is to be made immune to disease. It appears that one extraordinary characteristic of the cells of living animal tissue is this: They attempt to repel any attack made upon them by producing an antidotal substance specifically calculated to neutralise or oppose the attacking agent. If @ noxious baterium finds ite way into the blood and comes in eoutact with the tissues, the tissue cells (and also probably the white blood eer- puscles) at once endeavor to produce substances that will antagenise the particular bacterium. Now the dead germs that the inoculator introduces in producing artie ficial immunity carry with them a certain increment of poison and excite the tissues to production of antidotes precisely as would living microbes, There ts, however, the important difference that the dead microbes obviously cannot multiply and so overwhelm their host with the power of sumbers, The number of microbes and therefore the quantity of poison introduced can be graduated at the will of the inoculator, who is careful to introduce only such numbers as experience has shown will not produce too powerful an effect. Nature calle on the cells to produce anti-bodies in all haste, and to continue producing them for some time after the precise irritant in quess tion has been eliminated. So the cells go on for a time producing the antidote, with the result } that a residua! quantity of typhoid antitoxines and bactericides and ag- yf giutinins and opsonins, finding no further host of enemies at hand, into the genera! circulation and becomes a relatively permanent consti| of the blood serum and lymph. It ts in the production of this excess quantity of the antidote to a weve! bacterial poison that the entire artificial immunization consists. For now Jet us suppose that the individual thus treated chanced accidentally te ingest some living typhoid germs in his food or drink. These germs, a@ they enter his blood, are at once met by the anti-bodies already thee and are promptly destroyed, whereas in the y of a non-immunises subject they would have multiplied eo rapidly that the tissues could eed have adequately met them with the production of antidotes.
