FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1919 "Common Devotion To Right" It is one of the incongruous results of the war to make the world safe + stimulation of class prejudice and an awakening of class selfishness that arena in which class struggles against class with the public welfare lying in a corner, neglected, with none to care how it fares. Just now, 'through the words of our President in the European coun- tries, we are voicing sentiments both lofty and generous, giving the im- others should pattern their affairs. We may safely assume that when : there is leisure to look about a bit and to examine into the claim of the United States to the possession of a superior kind of democracy we are likey to find ourselves being weighed in the balance and found wanting. | President Wilson rather accurately defined real democracy when he said, y "Interest does not bind men together. | Interest separates men. There is only one thing that can bind: peoples to- gether and that is common devotion to right." It is this "common devotion to worthy of the great sacrifice that has been made in the name of democracy. It is an ideal, but it is an ideal that may be realized .in increasing propor- tion as men of one class give up their own selfish advantage and take for the standard of government the com- mon food of the nation. Medical Research in War War is essentially an affair of de- struction. Whatever progress. is made in industry, in science, in re- | search of every sort, is destructive in its purpose and nature, with one ex- ception, that of medical science. Here we have the best brains of the me- dical profession in every country working to perfect or to discover means of combating the destruction | of the death dealing implements which are provided with such care and profusion. We have here some- thing which will be bettered for all times because of the stimulus which war has given to research and study. Twenty years ago it was typhoid fever that depleted the ranks of the American army. In 1898 the death rate from typhoid ran up to fourteen per cent. In this war there has been practically none, the direct result of research and development encourag- ed by the high rate of fatalities in the Spanish-American war. The won- derful new methods of surgery which have been practiced during the period of the war have revolutionized the treatment of wounds. Gas gan- grene, under the pressure of war's; necessities, has been made the sub- ject of serious research, and with a fair promise of success,by the Rocke- feller Institute. Exact figures are lacking as to the application of the discoveries of science during the period of heavy fighting among our own army but there is every reason to feel assured that the percentage out the claim of the newly developed methods of surgery and asepsis. ~~ Development along the construct- Winnetka Weekly Talk - ey] Keeps Cheese Fresh The Lake Shore Publishing Company Editorial Telephone. . . ...
