Professor Kendall was not ready last week to explain the constituents of his germ food. He will reveal them after a fortnight so that other bacteriologists can duplicate his work, find fault with it or confirm it.

"One is often led to suspect that the pervading process of log-rolling and swapping has ended in changes which some particular domestic interest and its Congressional representative had at heart...
