Whereas in European cities the battle of the municipal and health authorities, SO far as epidemics were concerned, was until a few years ago waged chiefly against small -pox, typus, and occasional outbreaks of cholera, it is now considered that the victory has in the main been won against these bolder and. grosser enemies of the race, and the conflict has set in against the diseases which are -hos - tie to chilli life. Scarlet fever and diph- theria are the ehief of these children's maladies, with measles as a less dreaded but extremely mischief third. Thus far the weapons have been mainly those of vigilant, never -ceasing inspection, imme- diate isolation, disinfection through the aid of highly organized official disinfect- ing staffs, and in general the sharp block- ing up of those avenues through which intection is most likely to be communi- cated. The difficulty of perfect isolation in tenement hous s has led to the great extension of public hospitals. for the re- ception of children, ill with diphtheria, sea,rlet fever an.c1 measles. The great ob- jects of the administrators of the public health system are (1) to abolish the plague spots which are the sources of in- fection, and (2) when infection has ap- peared to prevent its spread. This of course, is the sound policy to be pursued. •But, (3) and concurrently,. every possible effort is made to SEING the lives of the poor children actually seized with infectious maladies. If we are rightly informed with regard to the anti -toxins euro foediph- theria, its application is to be beneficial botb as a preventiveagainst attack and also, where not previously applied, as a remedy to be administered in the early stages of the disease. Its immediate in- terest naturally lies in its use as a rem- edy. A considerable amount of experi- ence, tested in the light of comparative statistics, would be necessary in order to show the preventive value of such treat- ment, and even then it would be difficult to distribute the honors between a reme- dial epecific of this kind.: and a generally efficient sanitary administration. As in the case of .vaccina,tion, no one could ever tell us conelesively whist part the partic- ular treatment has played, and what part improved the conditions of public and private cleanliness have had in the grati- fying diminution of the malady.—From "The Progress of the World," in the Jan - nary Review of Reviews. romuccr.

This. is the outcome of a long and bitterly waged warfare between the Canadian Order of Foretters and the Illinois orga- nization. Matters reached a climax when it was learned that Rosenbaum, who was at that time high chief ranger for the Illinois order, was co-operatiag with Mr.. Stevenson with a view to the absorption of the Illinois organisation by that of Canada. Rosenbaum we. asked to resign,. and his resignation was hardly acted upon by the high court, before he and Mr. Stevenson were forming new conrts for the Canadian order, wbieh courts were refused a license bythe superintendent of insurance for Illinois, because the organi- zation was not under inspect on.
