Dr. Hanna of York believed In vac
cination and would not let down the bars
so far as to do away with the quarantine.
Ho thought It foolish to make a big fuss
over a quarantine. It aroused antagon
ism and created a sentiment against
something that was really necessary. He
was Joined In this opinion 'by several
other physicians.
Dr. Carrlkcr of Nebraska City and Dr.
Caulk of Reynolds were pronounced
against the Idea that vaccination pre
vented smallpox. "Wlille it is a means
of protection," said Dr. Carrlker, "it does
not prevent, arlolold Is a mild form of
smallpox and It doesn't make much dif
ference whether it is called smallpox be
fore vaccination or varioloid afterwards."
He believed In the quarantine.
The meeting went on record as favoring
the abolition of partial quarantine. It
covors the proposition of allowing the
bread winner in the family to come and
so during the tlmo the quarantine la on
under certain restrictions.

"Man-Failure All Along the Line" ,
That was the verdict of the Coroners jury that investigated the
killing of twenty-one persons in a wreck on a New England rail
road. There is "man-failure all along the line" where the body is
not nourished by foods that build bone and muscle and brain, that
keep the human organism up to top-notch of efficiency.
Shredded Wheat
(contains all the body-building elements in the whole wheat grain,
made digestible by -steam-cooking, shredding and baking. A food
for the man who works with hand or brain a food for the man
who needs a steady nerve a .sustaining, satisfying food always
pure, always clean, always the same price. Ask your grocer.
Always heat the Biscuit in oven to restore crijpnes. Two Shredded
Wheat Biscuits with hot milk or cream will supply all the energy
