EGGS BY WEIGHT
"I predict," aays Joseph Hortigan. New York'a Commissioner of the Bu¬ reau of Weights and iSjseaureB, "that eggs ultimately will be sold by weigh', only. There is a vaat difference in the aizea of egga. A housewife purcliaaou a dozen eggs, but ahe doea uot get tb.s weight that might attend another doz¬ en. If the weight standard is made lu apply to ail sales tbe housewife may get thirteen or fourteen for a dozen.
"The aame rule ia good throughout the llat ot food supplies. In this con¬ nection, too, we are operating striclly along the lines of the new Brooks IdW, which lequires that the net weight of any food commodity or purchasable articles be printed in stencil or on a tag on the container. The container ia a deceitful bird. Ita weight usually is thrown in with the article itself That sort of thing is going to be abol¬ ished."
ComniisBioner Hajtifeau said that he plana to hold a aeriea of conferences with farmera from Long Island. He waiils lo prevent the middlemen from increasing the number of quarts or pecks in the supplies wliich they buy from tho farmers.
No man ever won any great amount of popularity aa a receiver of taxea The natuie of the ofllcial duties make-j it Impossible. Siill, wllh Joseph Fos ter billing on the uafe as Keceiver ol Taxes of the Town of Hempstead, he may gel a bouyuet or two. At any rale Mr. Foster brings to the oflice a wide experience wbich will help a whole lol.
The class prorhet at the commence¬ ment exercises of Sheffield Scientlflc School has just married a cabaret oljiger. He made no reference lo il in the claaa prophecy.
THE VOTERS PART
The section of tho election law •which flxea the number of voters lo comprise an election precinct at 300 should not be opposed by the commit¬ teemen of any party. The object of the section is to make the districts compact and to make exercising the right of suffrage as easy as possible.
We know of a cast on Long Island where a number of voters are compell¬ ed to go a distance of more than two mllea to vote, although the polUnjr place of the adjoining precinct is only two, hundred yards away.
It is a fact that the average voter is losing Interest In repairing to the pollB. It is a fact that the managers of political parties flnd It mere dlffi cult each year to work up enthusiasm among tho electorate. Except a man be a pronounced partisan he care.'? very little who is chosen supervisor or assemblyman.
Committeemen will serve the inter¬ ests of their respective organisa¬ tions If they make the work of the voter easy.

ASTROLOGY AND BUNCO
Lver since the days of Belshazzar, the bo-caiied science of astrology has heen one of the best bunco games. The wide expanse of the heavens dot- led with mysterious moons and stars have been worked for profit by edu¬ cated charlatans aud resourceful fa¬ kers through ail the cenluries.
Horoscopes ou love, politics, busi¬ ness, agriculture and whal not can be had from a quailer up, guaranteed Ij satisfy. -
I'articulariy has the astrologist had a strong pull whea it came to decid¬ ing what the weather would be. A man in doubt about rjiisiug onions had but lo consult the oracle and get a line on the weather aud be certain ot a bumper crop.
Now comes the Department of Agri¬ culture at Washington and brands all the astrological dope touching weather condit'ons as pure superstition with¬ out the least basis of science behlnc! it.
Says the Department:
"The belief still to be found in all cotmtriea that the planets and the moon do affect the weather, never had any Bcientilic basis whatever; it is oniy a remnant of the many supersti¬ tions generated and fostered by that other greater superstition, astjology.
The Department's conclusion on thi' subject says:
"We hae every reason to believe fthat neither the planets nor the moon can have auy appreciable effect on lh; weather, because they furnish so lit¬ tle heat upon whicu all weather chang¬ es ultimately depend, aud thla belief ds fully supported by weather re¬ cords."
So all the signs of the zodiac and all the best efforts of Scorpia, Aquar- lous and Caprlcornus are knocked higher than Gilderoy's kite. What u setback the Department ot Agricul lure's announcement will be to Mme "" l"a aud the tmlnent Gustav Mey- era of lobohen.
SPANKING
What l8 probably the flrst report from a Mothers' Club concerning th» theory and practice of spanking chil dren ia at hand. It purports to rep¬ resent the personal experiences of the thirty-four mothers in the organiza¬ tion in corrective work upon fifty-al/ children, ranging in ages from 2 to IS years.
In twenty-eight out of the thirty- four families, the popular (with moth ers, not the children) form of punish¬ ment was the application of a ruler, paddle, hand switch or strap lo th<ii portion ot the offending child offering the broadest surface and largest as¬ surance of certain contact. The mi i- Imum of blows was three and the max¬ imum a more or less Indefinite num¬ ber depending largely on the physical strength of the mother and the degree- of docile Bubmission of the child, i-i certain cases the number of blows ad¬ ministered represented the age of the child—two whacks for a two-year-old and eighteen for a girl ,it couldn't have been a boy) who had reached the long dress stage of maidenhood.
Generally, says the report, a portion or all the clothing was removed from the anatomical territory upon and against which the corrective measurcH were to be employed, and of courdo the punisliment was administered wit!i that degree of privacy demanded by the occasion.
There can be no hard and faat ruli; governing the spanking of children. Any opinion as to spEinkiug as a mean'.' to an end necessarily takes a bia? from the stage in the career froni which the opiuion is drawn.
One cannot lail to recall with nev¬ er-to-be obliterated vividness whenh's idea of spanking was one of militant disapproval.. This of course refers to the period when the spanker, strain¬ ing the truth to the breaking point, assured the unhappy yiclim that "ii hurts me more than it does you."
As to spanking as an instilulion, it is our belief that time long ago estab- li.'^lied ils value, but on behalf of tho youth of the land, more particularly Uie hoys, remembering well our own expeiieuies and deep seated distress, we would have all spanking done by mothers, and preferably by hand. We now offer it as au amendment lo the rule.

THE STREPTOCOCCI
By R. L. Kahn, M. S. Few bacteria bring on more suf¬ fering to man than the group which is commonly known as' stretococci. To produce on dis¬ ease, as do tlie typhoid or diph-
..theria bacilli, appears to be only a part of their program of infec¬ tion. They cauae a large number of infectious diseases, depending on different conditions. Tonsilli¬ tis, erysipelas, puerperal fever and the much dreaded blood poison¬ ing are but a few of the diseases for which these erms are resjjon- sible.
The term streptococci comes from the Greek, and means twis¬ ted berries. This is based on their characteristic inclination to group themselves In twisted chain¬ like forms. They are universally distributed and are commonly present upon the skin and in our mouths and throats. Human re¬ sistance to disease with which
. Nature endowed us, keeps us im¬ mune, during health, from the at¬ tacks of these germs. Should, however, our natural resistance,
Ndue to disease, overworry, etc., be lowered, or should unusually violent streptococci gain entrance into our system, then Indeed, is there liklihood of severe suffering. One of the important ways by which virulent organisms may en¬ ter our body tissues or the blood, ia by direct contact with infected material. Milk may often be the source of infection, in which cass, it is mostly always to the unclean handling of this tood, it often happens, however, that the strep¬ tococci briftg on inflammation of the udder of the cow. In such cases th« milk is not fit for hu¬ man consumption, as these germs art liable to be present In the milk both In Urge numbers at well is In a hlghl virulent form.
WARNING TO VACCINATORS

AND
APPEAL TO THE BOARO OF ALOERMEN
All Compulsory Vaccination Must Be Resisted and Prohibited
The Board ol .Mdei ineii is perhaps the cloKest and truest representat,i\ e iif Uie 1 eoi.le in o'.ir 'iiy Coveiniiieiu today and lias now at il.s lieiid a man who i.'^ f;encrally n.'.of.Liz' d as one of the nio.st able, conscientious and ixniuiin- < iii/eiis in our eiiy.

.MjuuI iv,o years a;-o ajiplication was made by tlie i5oard of lieallh lo the llonrd ol Aideiiiun Ur a large appropriation of ?iD,000 for a general \;i( i-inalion oi Uie people under the preieuee ol fear of an aile.iied sniallpox epidemic, lecau.-e a lew i .ru s of mild smallpox were found in tills great city ol Ii\e uiilUoufi I'Ojiulaiion; hut llie Lioaid wisely refused tliat applicatiou and that needk'ss waste ol pulilic; money on a process of spreading disease and deaui deliberalely in llie population, and tiien the Hoard wisely lield thai such operations were ii^ji necessary for public health or to prevent small- po.\ epideiiiic.'--, but weie "eaily injurious to public health ou the average and in th.,- long run. Nothing more was heard of any furiher smallpox scares until this year, when it has Leen tMlenipLed to gel up another scare and a general vice ination laid upon the i eople and our medical panic-mongr'rB have this lima succeeded in {:etiing ijT.i'.ii, about hail the sum formerly a.sked lor, noi I'rom the Loaid of Aldermen, iuii liom tlie lioard of Kstiniate, undor a mistaken aud nii.:inforn;ed >eal for llie public i;ood.
Now, such false tinallpox panics and vaccinaiion raids have veiy lii^ile result for public );o.;d, pai ticularly in this instance, where the raid and ex¬ penditure have been i.ppiicd ehielly io the (liildren in our i'arocliial .Schools .wliij'liave been leii ior >ears without any cominilHory-vaeeination aud who, as statistical laci« ynow, have been as free from smallpox and all otlier di.stases, if not mucli iM.r, than our jnibllc school children under conHiani compulsory vaceiriation. And the tdliy of wasliug this puldio money for tlie barbarous purpu.M.. ol deliberately diseasing healthy scliool children by ll.i.s danjAerous opeiation et vaccination becomes fully apparent when the tlxperience ut nany last years sliows tiiat these school children have been in no appreciable way t.ibject lo or allecled wilh sniallpox and that ilicy belung in lad u, that a,eclass in the populalion whieh is least Kubject to small¬ pox, or only aboul 1-10 as much so as the infant and tlie aduli a.ijes!
That such ial;e medical .scares and raids, however, resiiil in ^^learrnotil to Uie v ac. ii.„i ir.K prole.sKJon ami lo the vac cin.. manntnctmerH and drug trade, in alliance vilh each olher in this matter, cuui be very easily proved and j. cv.n .,1,, c u,s on ils la..-, although our big, iK)mpoua doctora and powerful medical t;ocielies Iry very hard lo persuade the tru.snn.i:; public lo the coiiuai.v il,ai Uiclie medical inlereslK do not profit by tbese Hclieiiiea tiUt thai they are quite unselhsh about them.
We can, however, easily prove the contrary and condemn these men '.'ut ol their own mciili.q r.nd wiili tli.-ir oun admi'-Moiis as lullows- !n a previous article- i have said that such raids and panics in exciti„„. and forchm il„. ,n-n,n tc, general vacc-inalion siniply cauHe Gold (o How into the cohers of ihe doctors Uke Water, and I now ask public alteniiou to ti„. neat conl.s. icm „l ...is v.-ry I'a.t licm our Health t cmmisHloner Dr Cold- water himself, iu the weekly liullelin of our Board of lieallh daled -May 9th on Page Ui:.

From llii.s we ciiii readily see liow profilable it is for the doctors and the vaccine maki rs to thus excite and force the people lo n-scjrl lo general vaccination to give llieiii alle,t;>d protection from an alleged dan>4i'rous disease wliicli tli. y liav.- perhaps less reason to fear tlian any other and which trdinarily kills !;ar less people every year than lightning; and when our big bu.sine.ss establishiiMHt.s and our great corporations and also the "well-to-do cla.s!:!.^" all show tuch an "unprecedented demand" lor vaccintition at one to two dollars or more iier ,• rm, according lo their standing in tho "well-todo" ela;ses!
1 also wish to tal; attention (o the brazen way in wliicli some of our big doc'dr,- in jiiivale prncUc.- Iry to deceive theinsc-lvc-s and Uie publi.' on this very point. No lei?s eminent doctor of tlii.s city than Dr. Simon Baruch i.-"- ijuo'e'l by om ' ommi.sFioner Goldwalej- in the Health Hoard Bulletin foi May 16ih on I'age 151, to .show tlie disinterestedness of our doctors in lliis mafter and lii. ailc". d loll> and error of the honest and fully informed m'iii who are now opposing these false medical panics and raids and condemning all confjiul^oiy \;uc inatio.i as one of the greatest public evils of our day.
Dr. (Goldwater on the page of the offic-ial Bulletin above referred to has the refreshiri.c, jimpliciiy to eiuote this astonishing piece of medical humbui; Jrom our great I>r. Simon Baruch, as follows: SSotSi'*' '»^- • • ¦¦
"How absurd is their claim that Uie motive operating in favor of v.'icc inaling is to increase the fees of vaccinating doctors ja ly be realized by auy unprejudiced [lerson who will calculate that the fees from ^00 vaccinationi would not equal the fee that one ea.se of smallpox would yield "
Now, Dr. Simon Baruch knew very well when he first uttered this fjjlse nons.nFe iu the Kvening Sun of Mayf.th, wherein he tried to discredit our honesi work in oppo.«ing all compulsory vaccinaiion, tliat lie, as an eminent iiflvate practitioner, would make from liOO privale vaccination at least $200
directly, and possibly much more indirectly hy services needed later on to look after so very bad :-r dangerous arms thai would be sure to resull from
these L'UO vaccinal ions av illl the virus made by the New York Health Board, which is known to be one of the most severe in use. And he also well knew that as a i.rivate pr ac litioner lor the "weil-lo-do" classes he could not make one c-jnl on a cm-n of srriaHiiox which, as soon as discovered, he would have lo report under penalty of heavy line and which would tlien be taken entirely out of his hands lo ihc- isolation hospital! Yet this is the kind of brazen hum- hug and "umelli.sh" medical "irutli" that our Health Comniissioners and our eminent doctors give to Mie people in supporting their dan^erouH barbarism of widespread compul.-oiy disea.se, which is really so profilable lo them biit wnidi nevertheless now kills more cliiidre-n than smallpox and which Hhocking lact I.s row con.eal.d m cur viial siatisiics, all fully eontrolied and dominated by our';accinat!ng doctors in City and .State and by our highly and pow-

THE VOTERS PART The section of tho election law •which flxea the number of voters lo comprise an election precinct at 300 should not be opposed by the commit¬ teemen of any party. The object of the section is to make the districts compact and to make exercising the right of suffrage as easy as possible. We know of a cast on Long Island where a number of voters are compell¬ ed to go a distance of more than two mllea to vote, although the polUnjr place of the adjoining precinct is only two, hundred yards away. It is a fact that the average voter is losing Interest In repairing to the pollB. It is a fact that the managers of political parties flnd It mere dlffi cult each year to work up enthusiasm among tho electorate. Except a man be a pronounced partisan he care.'? very little who is chosen supervisor or assemblyman. Committeemen will serve the inter¬ ests of their respective organisa¬ tions If they make the work of the voter easy.

ASTROLOGY AND BUNCO Lver since the days of Belshazzar, the bo-caiied science of astrology has heen one of the best bunco games. The wide expanse of the heavens dot- led with mysterious moons and stars have been worked for profit by edu¬ cated charlatans aud resourceful fa¬ kers through ail the cenluries. Horoscopes ou love, politics, busi¬ ness, agriculture and whal not can be had from a quailer up, guaranteed Ij satisfy. - I'articulariy has the astrologist had a strong pull whea it came to decid¬ ing what the weather would be. A man in doubt about rjiisiug onions had but lo consult the oracle and get a line on the weather aud be certain ot a bumper crop. Now comes the Department of Agri¬ culture at Washington and brands all the astrological dope touching weather condit'ons as pure superstition with¬ out the least basis of science behlnc! it. Says the Department: "The belief still to be found in all cotmtriea that the planets and the moon do affect the weather, never had any Bcientilic basis whatever; it is oniy a remnant of the many supersti¬ tions generated and fostered by that other greater superstition, astjology. The Department's conclusion on thi' subject says: "We hae every reason to believe fthat neither the planets nor the moon can have auy appreciable effect on lh; weather, because they furnish so lit¬ tle heat upon whicu all weather chang¬ es ultimately depend, aud thla belief ds fully supported by weather re¬ cords." So all the signs of the zodiac and all the best efforts of Scorpia, Aquar- lous and Caprlcornus are knocked higher than Gilderoy's kite. What u setback the Department ot Agricul lure's announcement will be to Mme "" l"a aud the tmlnent Gustav Mey- era of lobohen.
