It is more a question as to whether or not you love a man and what hts disposition and characteristics are than what complexion he hae. , . "... Two contrary laws stand today opposed; one a law of blood and which. death, Inventing daily new means of combat, obliges the nations to be ever prepared for battle; the other, a law of peace, of labor, of salvation, which strives to deliver man from the scourges which assail him. One looks only for 'Violent conquest: the other for the relief of suffering humanity. The one would sacrifice hundreds of thousands of 'Ives to the ambition of a single individual; the other places a single human life Above all victories.

HE nuine of Louis Pasteur Is enrolled among the Immortals. The International observance of the centenary of his birth proves this. Though the anniversary of ? bis birth was December 27. ' learned, social and commercial societies, organizations and associations are still paying tribute to his services to mankind. All the world is paying homage to him as one of the of the human greatest benefactors race. A glance at the proceedings of two American memorial meetings will nhow bow widespread the appreciation. At the Philadelphia meeting Jules Jusserand, the French ambassador, spoke of Pasteur as the greatest of President the immortals of France. 'Harding sent this message: The wonderful advance of medicine and surgery are the direct results of Pasteurs life and work. Already many infectious diseases have been conquered and as a result the length of human life has Increased. America 'has been among the first nations to apply Pasteurs work to practical use. The building of the Panama canal was made possible by knowledge of the germs of yellow fever. Former President Wilsons message said in part: I can see that it is his (Pasteurs) immortal distinction that he not only broadened the thought and enlightened the practice of the great medical profession in the treatment of certain diseases, but also erected barriers against nil disease." Pasteur was hailed as "one of the greatest benefactors of the human race In all history by Chief Justice Taft. Dr. Etienne Burnett, director of the Pasteur Institute af Tunis, Africa, was a special representative of the French government. The program of a meeting in Denver was under the auspices of the American Chemical society (Colorado division), the Medical Society of the City and County of Denver, the State ' Historical and Natural History society, the Colorado Scientific society, and the Denver Philosophical society. Pasteur gave to the world perhaps 'the greatest discoveries in the realms research ever made by ti scientific any one man, according to the six eminent speakers. His work was Invaluable, not only In and of itself, but because of the width of its application to other problems; because of Its impetus to further investigation along new lines, and because of its bene-:fi- t to the welfare of humanity, speak-er- a asserted. The speakers were Si. P. Berthier f Paris, who described the place tion of the French scientist to the study of chemistry and the effects of this contribution in modern industry; Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell of the department of zoology, University of Colorado, who spoke on the subject, Pasteur a Practical Biologist; Dr. Carroll E. Edson, eminent1 Denver physician, who' told of the influence of Pasteurs researches in the field of medicine; Dr. Horace G. Wetherill, who compared the uncertainties of surgery CO years ago with the sureness of the science today, since the introduction of sanitation brought about through Pasteurs demonstrations of the germ theory, and Rev. William ORyan, pastor of St. Leos Cailiolic church, who described Pasteur not as a scientist, but as "a man. Louis Pasteur was born at Dole in the Jura mountains, the son of a tanner. He got a school and college education and entered the normal school of Puris where he chose chemistry for a career. His public career began at Dijon, in 1848; in 1840 he was transferred to Strasbourg. In 1855 he went ' to Lille us dean of the faculty of science. In 1857 be was appointed director of scientific studies at the Ecol Normale of Paris. Ills studies in fermentation revolutionized the wine industry of France and the procedure now universally knowq as pasteurization was later applied to countless other articles of consumption. He saved the silk Industry of France by discovering a cure for the silkworm disease. After he was sixty, and after nn stroke ' which crippled him, he experimented with anthrax and chicken cholera and formulated the principles of immunization from disease by introducing into the system a serum of attenuated virus. His fame became worldwide upon his discovery of a method of preventing rabies in 1885. In 18S8 the Pasteur institute, built by popular contribution and endowed for future usefulness, was finished Pasteur lived seven and dedicated. years more, loved and revered by coworkers and disciples and by every- Growth of Himalayas growth of the Himalayas is not yet at an end, and that the central masses are still, as of old, pressing forward toward the south, crushing and grinding over the advanced guard of tertiary mountains. .

"A pinprick was a door open to death, wrote a famous surgeon of Pasteur's later years. "That open door widened before the smallest operation; the lancing of an abscess or a whitlow sometimes bad such a serious consequence that surgeons hesitated before the slightest use of the bistoury. It was much worse when a major surgical operation was necessary, though, through the irony of things, the Immediate success of the most difficult operation was now guaranteed ed by the progress of skill and the precious discovery of anesthesia. .

The words And spent all my money for whiskey and beer. pyemia, gangrene, erysipelas But now I'll quit roving and. lay up in purulent inlection, were bywords in those days." Pasteur wus the precursor of Lister, the noted British surgeon. The latter wrote to him from Edinburgh in 1874: "I do not know whether the records of British surgery ever meet your eye. If so, you will have seen from time to time notices of the antiseptic system of treatment which I have beep laboring for the past nine years to bring to perfection. Allow me to take this opportunity to tender you my most cordial thanks for having by your brilliant researches, demonstrated to me the truth of the germ theory of putrefaction, and thus furnished me. with the principle; upon which alone the antiseptic system cati be carried out .Should you at any time visit Edinburgh, it would, I believe, give you sincere gratification to see ut our hospitn! how largely mankind is being benefited by your labors." M. Pasteur did visit Edinburgh and was given a remarkable reception by the scientific world gathered there at ' the universitys tercentenary. Pasteurs popular fame Is largely due to his successful treatment ot rabies. It was one of the most significant and important discoveries in the whole history of medicine. Its importance lies, even more than In the number of lives saved. In its scientific It wus the second dissignificance. covery of n method for the specific prevention of an Infectious disease affecting human beings, the first being the discovery of Vaccination for the prevention of smallpox.

She will not talk, laugh and be merry in a crowd, but always smiling, very pleasant around home. I don't think she likes anything better than to fuss with children. Dont know that I can get this on but I at . might try. No. 2 is always jolly and giggling. To dance with her makes you think you are In heaven. Very affectionate, don't object to a hug and a kiss.

Wyoming I just wonder If the Moon wishes advice, encouragement or assurance; perhaps he just wanted to write a letter so he might see what would happen? It would seem from your description of these girls that It is not so much advice and encouragement you need as it is assurance assurance that the one you think would make the best wife, really would. I am not at all One thing I sure myself about this. nm sure of though and that is it depends wholly upon what sort of a man they marry as to whether either of them will make good as a wife and home maker. So now my advice to you would be to look within yourself and determine whether or not you have Just enough, (but no too much) of the Jolly more.

Miss Brooks, sometimes she is as pleasant as can be, and really acts like she thinks lots of me, and then other times she is just the opposite. I always try to be jolly and try to respect her.

I am very glad to heap from another boy and happy to advise you In so far as I can, but of course I could not tell you how much this girl thinks of you. I do think a b- -y can bo too good to a girl, not In the sense that he can treat her too gentlemanly or respectfully, but sometimes a boy is so kind and considerate of a girl that she Imposes on his good nature. It might not be a bad Idea to. forget to call her up occasionally, or hot to go to see Her quite so often and In various other ways do not be Johnny oh the spot quite so regularly.

BILLY, Smlthfleld,, Utah. Can only answer two of yodr questions, Billy, and I will be glad If yon send the rest later. (1) I think, if a vote could be taken, it would probably be a tie as to which were the most beautiful, a blonde or brunette, as each have about the same number of admirers, I am sure. (2) Lemon Juice Is not an especially good bleach, neither does it do any harm, although I would not advise using the pure Juice continuously. As for the other bleach yon mention I would not advise its use, for while it bleaches the hair and does harm, It is a very difficult thing to keep it dyed, as it grows out. In fact It cannot be done-a- t all satisfactorily without- streaklng the hair, and once you peroxide the hair yon have a continual and everlasting effort before you, for no other treatment can pleasure-loving qualities to balance the be used on It with any degree of satisnot or faction.
