"The real tragedies of life," sa
Dr. F. S. Stein, of Lincoln, Nebrask

purchasing power of a $3,000 sala
of today is less than that of a $2,0<
salary of ten years ago."
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

one of competition without combin

individuality of his work and enjo

ployer in the brutal, if protectrv
terms of unionism. He has submi

them on pain of strike. Thus he hi
bettered his condition and raised tl
standards of pay both within ai
without the unions.

A Remarkable Fact.
as '
a(j It is a remarkable fact, confirmed
g(j by many observations, that many
es physicians who have devoted considerable
labor to the study of a para(j
ticular disease have themselves died
- ' Al x a /\ P f V?/\ i*n_
a? 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.
