Keep this In your mind. For ease of illustration, let us divide into four divisions this transition of the dead into the living. "1 All living bodies both animal and vegetable must have certain food substances for their sustenance. These foods are chemical In nature and amongst them is what Is called protein. Now la protein meat for instance there is a chemical consUtuent called nitrogen, and. without bacteria, no plant or animal can obtain this chemical element.

Soil con-'slste of a skeletal framework of j mineral and rock wherein the-aper-I tores of the framework are filled 'with organic residues obtained from dead plants and animals. But in addition there is an enormous population of bacteria.

No other nitrogenous- material will do. I "4 Herblverous animals must obtain their food substances from the plant and we in turn as well as i other carnivorous animals live off i both animal and vegetable substances . "We see then that without bac- terla there can be no life; they are ; truly the connecting link between the dead and living. We must die to live. . r'--. I Bacteria in Soil j "Now there are other bacteria in , the soil that carry on a continuous iwarfare against vegetable Ufe by I themselves devouring this particular nitrogenous food and releasing I the nitrogen portion of It so that It j passes into the atmosphere as a I gas, which would be entirely lost to jthe vegetable world If Jt were not I for another bacteria also present In the soil which Is able to Imbibe this TSg,.

This division oi Dacterlology Is known as 'Im munity.' An individual who is able to resists a bacterial disease is said to be Immune. I have no intention of discussing the various phases of immunty but merely to briefly' portray to you a picture of man's atack upon these invisible bacterial against invasion of his body; (2) as a counter attack when they do obtain a foothold there.
