p ===== v SALARIED MAX THE LOSER. Effort of Fitting 1906 Income to 19: Outgo Hopeless. "The real tragedies of life," sa Dr. F. S. Stein, of Lincoln, Nebrask "may be found in refined famili who are trying to fit the income I 3 906 into the outgo of 1916.

And, s Dr. Stein asserted, "tl vast army of salaried men has ,be< the chief jsufferer." The wages t. mechanics and day laborers have a A ' vanced "in about the same ratio" ; the cost of living. "But the salarii men have had their salaries increas* but slightly, and in many instanc mrvt nt all " ^ It was ever thus with the salari* 4 man.

OI 1X1 cil, UlStJctSt;. Wile Ul die muoi ixxan teresting examples is that of John an Daniel Major, born August 16, 1634, a_ in Breslau, a physician and naturalL-g ist of no mean ability. Bitten early by the wanderlust, he studied at Wittenburg, took courses at many of the schools in Germany, and finally y_ went to Italy where he received the .s degree of doctor of medicine at Padua, in 1660. Returning to his own n_ country, he resided for a short time in Silesia, and in 1661 married at j/ Wittenburg, Margaret Dorothy, a m daughter of the celebrated Sennert. The following year, his young wife do was stricken with plague and died 1(j after an illness of eight days. Distracted by his loss, Major wandered jn up and down Europe studying plague wherever he found it in the hope that 3_ he might discover a cure for the disease which had bereaved him. Spam, /ll g Germany, France and Russia were 16 visited by him. He settled in 1665 ie in> Kiel, where he was made professor s of botany and the director of the bo y_ tanical gardens. * He made frequent voyages, however, always in quest of the remedy for plague. Finally in 1693, he was called to Stockholm to treat the queen of Charles the elevs enth, then ill with plague. But ber_ fore he could render her any service, m he contracted the disease and died on the third of August. es The bubonic plague of today is a_ identical with the black death of the Middle Ages. Primarily a disease of a rodents caused by a short dumb-bell ry shaped miscroscopic vegetable, the pest bacillus, it occurs in man in ce three forms; ' the pneumonic, le which has a death rate of almost 100 per cent.; the septicaemic, which is nearly as fatal, and th^ bubonic, in ce which even with the most modern er methods of treatment the mortality is about 50 per cent. It is a disease lg of commerce, spreading around the ^ globe in the body of the ship-borne a rat. It is esfimated that every case ie of human plague costs the municipal ity in which it occurrs at least 57,st 500. This does not take into acw count the enormous loss lue to diser astrous quarantines and the commerl(j cial paralysis which the fear of the er disease so frequently produces. The disease is now treated by a py serum discovered through the genius of Yersin. This is used in much the same way as is diphtheria antitoxin. n_ Plague is transferred from the sick rs rodent to the well man by fleas. The ?0 sick rat has enormous numbers of plague bacilli in its blood. The blood HI is taken by the flea which, leaving j yQ the sick rat, seeks reiuge ana susgg tenance on the body of a human be ing to whom it transfers the infection. Since plague is a disease of rodents and since it is carried from sick rodents to wrell men by rodent fleas, es safety from the d'sease lies in the exn, elusion of rodents, not only exclusion of from the habitation of man but also 25 from the ports and cities of the d, world. Those who dwell in rat-proof n- surroundings take no plague.- Not id only should man dwell in rat-proof >n. surroundings, but he should also live be in rat-free surroundings. The day in is past when the rodent served a useof ful purpose as the unpaid city scaved enger. Rats will not come where he there is no food for them. Municipal ve cleanliness may be regarded as a parce tial insurance against plague. The o- prayer that no plague come nigh our ad dwelling is best answered, howrever, it- by rat-proofing the habitation of man. or Modern sanitary science has evolved ar a simple and efficient weapon against nt the pestilence which walketh in darked ness and striketh at noonday, and ag the U. S. public- health service has >x- put this knowledge into practical op21 ?ration and thus speedly eradicated en plague wherever it has appeared in nt the United States.
