This is the beginning of the season, whieh will last for at least four months, when colds, catarrhal fevers, inflnenzas or grip will abound, says Popular Science News. At this time when one has been feeling uniformly in a most excellent con- dition, there may suddenly appear a feel- ing of lassitude followed by a decided chili or chilliness, a sudden and rapid rise of temperature, quick tense pulse, moderate- ly dry skin, great thirst, coated tongue, constipated bowels, an unpleasant taste in the mouth and general evidence of checked or perverted secretions. A not infrequent symptom will be gen- eral aching in all the muscles, joints and bones, suggesting the old fashioned “hreakbone’’ fever. This group of symp- toms may be the explanation of “only a cold,’ as it is frequently expressed, or it may be the announcement of a well defin- ed attack of grip, which now is well known to everybody. It may be interest- ing to recall that the grip, or old-time ‘influenza,’ isdue toaspecific poison, the bacillus of Pfeiffer, which, while itis as- serted by some to be uninfluenced by soil, climate, seaon or atmospheric changes. yet these conditions do materially affect the individual as related to susceptibil- ity. There is much yet to he learned regard- ing the manner of developnrens of these remarkable outbreaks of influenza. It has been definitely established that with this infection one attack does not carry with it immunity against another as in most other infections, but rather invites or predisposes] to repeated attacks. Careful physicians who have studied this disease and allied conditions are uni- formly of the opinion that it is one of the severest tests of the equipment of the in- dividual, particularly one who has reach ed 40 years of age. These so-called colds, catarrbal fevers and influenzas are not on ly in themselves often of serious import, but doubly so in that they put the indi- vidual nervous system below par, figara- tively speaking’ reduce the power of re- sistance, render the air passages sensitive and susceptible to other infections. In other words, their victim is in a condition to yield readily to all forms of disease. The all important thing, then, is for the invaded person to institute at once a treatment favorably to prompt relief and cure. Fortunately synthetic chemistry has given us a remedy in phenalgin, which can be absolutely relied upon. In adult doses of ten grains washed down hy a good hot toddy at night (to be repeated in an hour if necessary), a prompt relief to all discomforts will be secured. The action of the phenalgin is not only to relieve pain and distress, but to open up the ex- eretory organs and correet the general per- version of secretions as indicated hy the bad taste in the mouth, ete. In the morning, unless the bowels besafficient- ly moved, a teaspoonful or two of sulphate of soda may be given ina glass of hot wat- er to flash them more thoroughly. Tt may be well to continue the phenalgin in five-grain doses every three or four hows for several days. to he followed later by a tonic composed as follows: Capiseumn 1 grain, quinine 1 grain and strychnine 1-50 of a grain, in a pill or capsule ‘three times a day. tiga A——————————————-.. The Chemistry of Soll. Three Elements That are Important Factors in Civilization. Undoubtedly one of the most wonderful discoveries of modern chemistry has to do with the soil. It has been ascertained that the most barren land can be made rich simply by adding to it certain min- eral elements which cost but little. On this basis it is estimated that the United States will be able eventually to ‘maintain 500,000,000 people—more than ‘one-third of the present population of the world.’ It is merely a question of supplying the requisite quantities of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. The last two are readily obtainable at small expense, whereas the first may be supplied either by furnishing to the soil condensed nitrogen in the shape of slanghter waste of nitrate of soda, or by planting clover, beans or peas, which have an affinity for nitrogen and absorb it from the atmosphere. 5 It is now known that vitrogen is the most important plant food, and inasniuch as this element composes four-fifths of the atmosphere the question is ‘merely to ab- sorb it into the soil. It has also come to be understood that only two per cent. of the material of plants is derived from. the soil. the remaining 98 per cent. being drawn from the air and from water. It has been learned that certain specics of bacteria absorb nitrogen, and these may be propagated in moist earth. and the earth thus treated sprinkled over the land.—Sat- urday Evening Post. we : . Public Opinion Opposed to the Sub. ‘sidy Bill. a “The public opinion of the country,” gays the New York Press, a stanch Re- publican organ, referring to the pend- ing subsidy measure, “is, without re- “gard to party lines, largely opposed to this bill. It is so opposed because the bill proposes to pay a man $5 for doing ‘what for the last ten years he had been doing for $3. And yet the man and his friends have no explanation to make of the causes of this extraordinary de mand.” i & wd Ba ; of “Nine Millions a Year.” Manager Hanna—Unecle Sam will now sing for you, gentlemen—to the tuu? The business men of the country have at last taken alarm at some of the statements made in favor of the subsidy bill. One of these statements is that the amount paid by the carriage of foreign mails should be deducted from the amount of the subsidy when the expense is being considered. In other words, it has been plainly inti- mated by Senator Frye and others that these subsidized ships are to carry all the foreign mails of the United States. In examining into the records of the American ships which will draw sub- sidy the business men discover that it these ships carry the mails the mails to Europe and from Europe will be de- layed from two to three days. To have these ships carry the foreign mails in- stead of having them carried as they are now by the fast foreign companies, would result in the loss of many mil- lions of dollars to American importers and exporters. This feature of the sib- sidy bill has brought forth a good many very vigorous protests. ‘An ordinary business man calculates the advantages of a contract according to the terms of the contract itself. Eng- land, France and Germany require of ship companies drawing governmental subsidy contracts setting forth in detail the services which the ships are to per- form under the contract. The pending subsidy bill in congress provides for a contract. The only thing in the con- tract that the ship companies agree to do is to build ships equal to the ton- nage drawing subsidy in American yards. An examination will show that these ships can be paid for exclusively out of the subsidy. The contract does not provide that these ships shall ever be run nnless additional subsidy is de- sired upon the ships. They can be sold at once to either Americans or foreign- ers. They do not contract for any amount of speed or any number of trips; they do not contract for any re- duction of freight rates; they do not contract for any services as auxiliary cruisers; the only thing that they con- tract to do is to use a part of the sub- sidy money in building ships for them- selves. Let any business man place himself in the position of the govern- ment concernirz this matter, and what would he think of the value of his con- tract? Some Points on Subsidy. Of the many protests that have been called forth by Senator Hanna's greedy scheme for giving a bounty to the Griscom line of steamers and its affil- fated concerns, that contained in a re- eent editorial of the New York Evening Post is perhaps at once the most con- _eise and most comprehensive. In its usual incisive style The Post points out how the bill evades its ostensible object of aiding the exportation of American products. which could ob- viously be best attained by making the subsidy earned contingent on the amount of cargo earried, and how. the $0 called cargo amendment, intro- duced avowedly to accomplish this ob- ject, is a most transparent sham, be- cause of the little joker contained, al- lowing a ¢harter of space by the year to be’ substituted for the actual carry- ing of cargo. Passing to the matter of wages, it shows how neatly the pro- vision on its face designed to insure ‘the employment of ‘Americans as sea- men is completely nullified by the con- dition that if Americans cannot “reasonably be obtained” this pro- vision is to Ye waived. In other words, if they ‘will not compete at the owners ‘who are being subsidized are the revised statutes to engage their crews, in foreign, ports. for .a round voyage, as the commissioner of nayiga- tion, one of the advocates of the bill, ‘has admitted ‘that it is already their ‘practice to do mow.” On ‘the question of speed there is a .special ‘bonus’ for fast passenger ships on the theory that such vessels would be available for use in war-—one of the most objectionable features of the bill, by the way, as it makes its greatest benefits go to the boats carrying least cargo. But here The Post calls attention to the fallacy of ‘this provision, as it is based not on actual performances, but son a trial trip of six hours. a compari- son that every one knows to be perfect- ly ridiculous. Finally the similarity to a bunko scheme is clearly shown of the provision in regard to admitting for- eign built vessels to subsidy privileges ‘that only such vessels shall be eligible as were owned by or under construc ‘tion for Americans prior to Feb. 1, 1899, thus limiting this advantage the most shameless way to the little clique that have concocted this meas- ure and to that extent forbidding all | other Americans from competition with. pz: +3 # lowest current rate of wages, the 'ship- left free to exercise the right under [ ‘And Yet We Economic Professors on the Subsidy Scheme. An Effort of the Subsidy Press Burcau to Develop Support Proves a Boomerang. The press bureau maintained by the subsidy bill lobby and their senatorial confreres has been doing heroic service of late. For some time Mr. Alexander R. Smith, one of the well known whoop- ers-up of the ship subsidy propaganda, has been the director general of this bureau. Recently Mr. George W. Rou- zer, formerly the head of the Washing- ton bureau of the New York Herald and later the press representative of the Republican national committee, has been given a high position on the staff. His acquaintance with Washington newspaper men as well as with repre- sentatives and senators makes his serv- ices very valuable. He is a high priced man, but this is a high priced bill. This press bureau in branching out for new means to influence the public and thereby the senate has lately sent out letters to a number of college pres- idents and political economists asking for expressions concerning the subsidy bill. A number of replies have come in, but they have not been printed. Their conclusions were on the wrong side of the question. For instance, Professor F. H. Gid- dings of Columbia university in writ- ing of the bill said: “This bill I believe to be a thoroughly rotten piece of mor- al and political depravity. It is per- fectly well known that the United States can build steel ships better and cheaper than any other nation. There- fore it is difficult for even an unsophis- ticated mind to escape the inference that the subsidy bill is a steal, known and intended to be a steal.” Professor Mayo-Smith of the chair of political economy, Columbia university, said, “There is no certainty that the necessary facilities for export trade to countries offering the most desirable markets for the United States will be secured.” Said Professor 8. M. MacVane of the chair of economics and history, Har- vard university, “If the Republican party wants to commit suicide, the passage of this ship subsidy bill would be all that would be necessary.” Professor T. N. Carver of Harvard university said, “Owing to the develop- ment of the steel industry, this would be the worst occasion for placing a bounty on shipbuilding and the one time in our history when it is least needed.” Professor Charles H. Hull of the chair of economics, Cornell university, said: “Such congressional dictation may be in some cases for the public in- terest, but the presumption is strongly against its being so. In this particular case 1 have seen-no argument of public interest that seems to me strong enough to overcome the adverse presumption. What forces of private interests are at work the mere economist has no means (of knowing.” Said Professor Daniel of the chair of political economy, Princeton, “In gen- eral, subsidies such as those proposed are, in my opinion, indefensible.” Professor James W. Crook of Am- herst said, “Our experience is against the efficacy of such a system.” 1 ‘Professor F. R. Jones of Union col- lege said, “Not one sound’ economic ar- | gument can be urged in support of the ship subsidy bill. | The principle involv- ed is a species of paternalism, having none of the redeeming features of the protection theory and all of it falla- | cies.” “These are but ‘samples of a large number of adverse opinions expressed by college professors and political econ- omists. They ar¢’'men who have no ‘ships to sell’ and no exports to ship and whose views are entirely unbiased. Must Pay Big Sums For ia ; ‘Speed. 0 The commissioner: of navigation, in his report for 1900. says on page 15 un- der head of “Increase of Speed:” “The increase in the speed of steam- phips is much less general and note- worthy from the commercial point of view than the increase in the size of such vessels. The reduction of a frac- ‘tion of an hour in the transatlantie rec- ord excites interest on both sides of the ‘ocean and ‘is a proper occasion for fe- .licitations on the attainment of great mechanical skill, but it does nct add to the general well being of the world, as does the addition of a dozen or score of net tons to the average carrying capac- ity of the world’s steamships.” Under the Hanna-Payne bill, how- ever, despite this testimony of a recog- nized authority, half or more of the proposed subsidy is to be paid for speed pewer solely. § i ‘ Skin From the Dead Grafted on a Living Man.

The man of whom the experiment was tried is Nicholas Sossong, who was fear- fully burned with nitric acid some time ago. Huge patches of the skin came off, and the physicians tried in vain to secure enough skin from living persons to supply 3 the deficiency. Then it was decided try grafting the skin of dead men, in the hope of saving the life of Sossong. One night, when it was seen that a tient in the next room at the hospital could live but a few hours. preparations were made for removing large portions of his kin as soon as the breath left his body. . When death came the body was taken into Sossong’s room and the skin placed upon the exposed flesh of Sossong’s body. Seventy-five surgeons, it began to take root at once. a week 1t was practically the skin Sossong Then another man died, and the same performance was repeated, All of the grafts are in a remarkably healthy condition and bad always had. with the same result.
