4E BACTERIA OF THE ALIMENTARY
CANAL
At birth, the body is absolutely |
ee from bacteria. Within a few
urs germs begin to make their
pearance and within a week the
nole alimentary tract is swarming
ith bacteria. Some of these bac-
ria form acids like those which
use the souring of milk, These
‘e harmless. Others produce am-
onia and various malodorous and
isonous substances. These germs,
e so-called “wild” bacteria, are re-
wonsible directly and indirectly for
any, if not most, of the maladies
om which human beings suffer,
id, according to Metchnikoff, for
emature old age. So long as the
jd-forming germs are dominant,
e “wild” bacteria cannot thrive

ence these bacteria are and
« known as the protective flora.
The mouth and nasal cavity, as
ell as the eyes, are constantly ex-
sed to contact with bacteria of |
rious sorts floating as dust parti-
es in the air. The tears bathe the
reball and carry the bacteria into
e nasal cavity. In the nasal
ity, the germs are caught by a
ucous secretion that stops eir
owth and carries them into the
roat, from which they are swal-
wed into the stomach, The mouth

ons of bacteria are caught. The
liva checks their growth and
veeps them down into the stomach.
In the stomach, live germs are not
und so long as the gastric juice
mains normally acid, for the rea-
n that hydrochloric acid is a pow-
ful germicide, When the acid is
)sent, as in achylia and pernicious
\emia, the stomach swarms with
vild" germs and even yeasts and
olds. The small intestine normal-
contains acid-forming germs.
In the colon of the average man

rassburger, several trillions of
icteria.

ve properties, which happens when

In like manner, the residues of

ined for more than a few hours,

Roger enumerates more than one

ria that grow in the large and

ns of the body and even serious

'. Its Birth Year With Nation-
RECEIVED RED CROSS
AID IN 50 YEARS
American Society to Celebrate
wide Observance
Tornadoes, floods, forest fires and
| other calamities and upheavals of na |
ture have visited the United States
more than one thousand times in the |
last half century.
All of these were of severe intensity,
causing loss of iife and great property |
damage. Minor catastrophes were not |
counted in this list of disasters, which
has been made public by the American |
Red Cross, in connection with the cele |
bration this year of its fiftieth birth
day.
it was on the evening of May 21,
1881, in the modest home of Miss Clara
Barton in Washington, D. C., that the
American Association of the Red Cross
was first formed. Before the year was
out, and before, indeed, the United
States Government had officially
moved to approve the Treaty of
Geneva, adding this nation to the com-
pany of thirty-two others adhering to
the treaty to protect wounded in war
tare, Miss Barton had plunged the small
soclety into a disaster relief task.
First Red Cross Unit
This was in the north woods of
Michigan, where forest fires swept the
homestead farms of pioneering fam-
ilies. Miss Barton, as president of the
Red Cross, had organized a branch in
Dansville, New York, where she was
sojourning. This little group imme
diately raised money, food, clothing
and other supplies and sent them to
the forest fire victims. In Rochester
and Syracuse, New York, nearby, word
spread of this charitable enterprise,
and Red Cross auxiliaries were organ-
ized there to help. So began the disas-
ter relief work of the Red Cross fifty
years ago. In the intervening years,
millions of men, women and children |
have been aided. Thousands of homes |
have been restored. Thousands of
persons, overwhelmed by floods, tor
oadoes, and fires until all they pos-
gessed had been wiped away, have
peen rehabilitated and prosperity and
happiness again smiled upon them.
This year has been dedicated by the
Red Cross and its chapters in 3,600
communities to commemoration of the
events which led to the birth of the
society in the United States. .
President Hoover Speaks
The celebration of the anniversary
was Inauguratea in Washington at a
dinner, attended by many distin.
guished men and women, at which
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes
presided, and President Hcover, who
is the president of the American Red
Cross. was the ch'ef speaker. Judge
Max Huber of Geneva, Switzerland,
the president of the International Com-
mittee of the Red Cross, in which ffty- |
seven nations are joined in a Red
Cross brotherhood, also was a speaker, |
as were Chairman John Barton Payne |
of the American Red Cross, and Miss
Mabel TI. Boardman, secretary, and
veteran leader of the sociely.
I'he Red Cross standard. which flies
all around the world where mercy is
needed, was frst introduced as an
ideal in our modern civilization in
Geneva in 1864, when the international
Red Cross convention, afterward to be
known as the Treaty of Geneva, was
signed hy twelve countries agreeing |
that on the battlefield the wounded |
should be given aid by doctors, nurses
and others, who should wear the sign |
of the Red Cross, and be treated ar
neutrals In the warfare. i
‘Two Americans attended this first
convention, the American Minister
George C. Fogg, and Charles 8. P. |
Bowles, representative ih Europe of |
the United States Sanitary Commis. |
sion. a volunteer organization of sym- |
pathizers with the North in our Civil
War. Facts they gave resulted in adop |
tion of some of the American ideas.
Returning to the United States, Fogg
and Bowles sought recognition of the |
Geneva Treaty, but the Grant admin
{stration took no interest Under
Hayes, the same lethargy was ep
countered. !
Clara Barton Founder
But there had emerged trom the Civil |
Nar period a middle-aged woman who |
bad seen much service on the battle |
fields around Washington, This was
Clara Barton. lll health caused her to |
make a trip to Europe in 1869. There
'| she became Interested in the Red
Cross idea, and joined a unit which |
saw service in the Franco-Prussian |
war. Upon her return home, she |
taunched an active campaign for the |
treaty, but met the same opposition |
as her predecessors. However, Presi:
dent Garfield. when he camc into of
ice, recognized the merits of the
movement, and when death by assassi
nation removed him, his successor,
President Arthur, sought approval by
the U. 8. Senate of the treaty. Thus |
was consummated a seventeen-year
tight in this nation for a humanitarian |
ideal. Clara Barton was recognized as
the society's founder and was its presi |
dent for twenty-three years. She died |
ip 1912 at the age of 90 years.
it is not generally thought of, bu
he flag so familiar in every civilized
pation as the emblem of the Red Cross, |
nad & simple derivation. Because the
originator of the movement, Henri
Dunant, was a Swiss, and the first |
treaty to protect wounded in battle |
was drafted and signed in Switzerland. |
the flag of that Republic—a white cross |
apon a red background—was reversed,
| and the Red Cross came into being. |

Hit With Lord Balfour
In music Lord Balfour took a great
delight and was an enthusiastic lover |
of the old masters, especially of Han. |
del. Modern music had little charm |
‘f any, for him.
“I remember how patiently he would
sit through dinner at his favorite res
taurant in Paris until most of the
clients had left and the noise of jazz
and jingle had ceased,” recalls Sir Tan
Malcolm in his personal memoir of
Balfour, “and would then ask the chef
d’orchestre (a very gifted young Pol
ish violinist) to play him some Eigh’
eenth-century French music.”
Then during the nine months Lord |
Balfour remained In Paris for the
| peace conference his house was the
scene of many brilliant musical eve |
uings.
“I remember one evening,” says Sir
fan, “when Charles Hendl was going
to sing, he inquired delicately whether
anybody present objected to German
songs. The chief (Balfour) promptl:
veplied:
“7 don't. 1 will take them as part
of the reparations that they owe us.’
—Kansas City Times.
' Ingenious Methods of
Making Use of Suction
Some of our readers probably ure |
old enough to remember the first
vacuum cleaners and the Interest |
aroused when It was found that a car- |
pet could be cleared of dust without a |
broom being used. Coal is now un-
loaded by suction. The pipe used is i
made of steel and is 12 inches In |
diameter, the nozzle is a box three feet
long and something more than a foot !
wide, and the most Ingenious part of |
the invention Is an arrangement to
prevent the whole thing getting choked
by coal dust. The latest invention in
this direction is a marvelous fish trap.
In this case, a pipe of great size is |
lowered from the fishing vessel does
Into the sen, the air is exhausted. and |
the water rushes up, carrying with it |
the fish. The fish are kept. the water |
goes back. One more use for this
kind of device Is In the war against
locusts. [n Palestine, where there wis
a plague of these ravenous creatures,
gigantic vacuum cleaners fixed on |
motor vehicles were used and the |
locusts drawn up by the million.
Royal Friend of Dogs
Queen Victoria's love of animals (a
characteristic inherited by all her de-
scendants) is shown in several pas
sages of her recently published let-
ters. In August, 1886, when everybody
in London was infected with an un-
reasonable fear of mad dogs, she
wrote a long memorandum on cruelty
to animals which might almost be de
scribed as the Magna Charta of man's
four-footed pensioners. “As regards
her poor dear friends,” runs the firs!
clause, “she would repeat that no dogs
should ever be killed by police unless
the veterinary surgeon declared they
were mad. That dogs, who were close
to their masters or mistresses or their
house door, poor quiet dogs should
be left alone and not molested.”
Gallant
Mrs. Mabel Williams contributes a
charming little episode In the life of |g
three-year-old Patty who was visiting
her grandparents near Riverside. She
watched her grandmother plucking »
*urkey and finally asked:
“Granny, what are you pulling those
hen leaves off the turkey for?”
A little later in the day. Patty was
shown the big flock of turkeys and In
passing among them, accidentally
tle Patty looked the big gobbler in the
eye and said contritely:
“Pardon me.”"—I.08 Angeles Times.
Roughness on Oceans
The zone of greatest storm frequen-
cy lles between latitudes 45 degrees
and 55 degrees. The most severe
storms are the hurricanes that begin
in the tropical portion of the Atlan-
tie. The North Atlantic lies in the
path of the great procession of cy-
clones and anti-cyclones of the middle
latitudes, and also in the path of the
West Indian hurricane over its lower
| latitudes, and counterparts of these
atmospheric disturbances in the South
Atlantic. The Pacific is subject to
sudden and violent storms, especially
typhoons, but the frequency of storms
is not so great as in the Atlantic.
Log of the Great Western
The original log of the Great West- |
ern steamship, which crossed the At-
lantic in 1838, and only missed by a
few hours being the first steamer to
do so, came to light in Bristol. The
log was found by an old sallor em-
| ployed in the Bristol Corporation's of-
fices among a lot of rubbish. An ex- |
pert recognized the name of Lieut. |
J. Hoskin as that of the captain of
| the Great Western, and other experts
have pronounced the log as genuine. |
The first steamship to cross was the
Sirius.
