NO MORE BALD HEAP" A CONSTANTINOPLE PNYSIOIAN DIS COVERS A REMARKABLE REMEDY. Ploughs the Head With a SrarUUr, Cat tl>| the Scalp, aid TMfca Flaata the Hair Like a Farmer Would Plant a Willow Wand. Or. Menahem Hodara, of Constanti nople, announces that ne can take a fragment of hair, and, by Implanting it on the scalp of a bald patient, make the meagre clipping take root and grow into a long, heavy hair, with a root of its own. He says that he has tried It upon sev eral patients and has afterward demon strated its success by microscopical ex amination. Every one knows that a bit of willow twig, when stuck into the earth and let alone, will probably throw out roots and in time grow into a tree. JBven dried-up looking sticks have been known to accomplish this. Dr. Hodara virtually says that a hair will do the same thing. He does not transplant it in any sense of the word, lie does not take a hair that la attached to skin, or that has its root and follicle entire. His discovery is not the result of any mere grafting experiment. Dr. Hodara says, in effect, that he can take the clippings of hair as they fali be neath the barber's shears and from each of these bits of hair can cause a new hair to grow. It has long been known that the hu man hair was a composite organism and that it closely resembled skin in its .structure, but It has never been thought that It contained within Itself the pow er to Initiate growth. It has always been believed that It depended fer its life and existence on the nutrient ves sels which supplied its follicle, or sheath. Dr. Hodara's discovery means that each hair, or fragment of hair, must contain within itself the same power that resides in a willow twig—the eell produclng capability. His discovery was the result of & pure experiment. It happened that twe of his patients were suffering from a scalp disease known as "favus." which is prevalent in the Eastern countries. Its cause is a minute fungus; Its usual re sult is absolute baldness of the patch of scalp attacked by disease. Careful examination of the scalp on the bald area showed that the hair was ■urn-existent. Microscopical examina tion of a section of the scalp showed also that the follicles of the hair were empty, shrivelled and dead. Uefore beginning operation. Dr. Ho dara carefully washed a selected part of the patient's head on which hair was luxuriant, with as antiseptic so lution. This was repeated until tht hair was thoroughly sterilized. Then about fifty hairs were clipped eff with a pair of scissors and were laid in soak in a neutral solution of sodium chlor ide. The next thing done was to render the bald spot on the scalp thoroughly aseptic. This was done by almost the same measures as those used to steril ize the hair. After applying an anaesthetic spray to the surface to be operated upon Dr. Hodara picked up an instrument known as a scarifier and drew it horizontally across the bald patch. The result was six little cuts through the surface of the scalp. Changing the direction of the instrument. Dr. Hodara then made another set of incisions at right angles, until the surface ef the scalp appeared to be cross-hatched with little cuta. The slight hemorrhage which result ed wug easily controlled, and Dr. He da r a then took up a pair ef small far ceps and began to select a hair. Pick ing up one by the middle, he held it in the forceps while he clipped it with scissors at each end until the resulting bristle was about an inch and a half long and was blunt at each end. A quick look through a powerful lens showed the doctor that he was holding the hair right end up, for a hair has a skin to it that lies In scales like the bark of a palm tree. Then he selected a place where two cuts crossed and into the Incision inserted the hair. Wherever the cuts'crossed each other on the bald spot Dr. Hodara Inserted a clipped hair, and then Inserted some of those that remained la the inter mediate spaces. When he had finished the bald spot was sparsely covered with little bristles of hair. Then a dressing was applied, and the patient waß instructed under no cir cumstances to remove or even disturb it. PLANTING HAIR ON BALD HEAD. " A week later Dr. Hodara exanlned the scalp. The cuts were practically healed, and he was pleased to notice that every Implanted hair was still In position. Three weeks later another examina tion was made. The hairs were still in position. Dr. Houara picked up a pair of for ceps and tweaked one of the hairs. It came out easily, and was obviously in the same condition as when it wae trat placed in the scalp. Dr. Hodara thought his experiment had failed, but pulled out another. That sample astonished him, for with the hair came a follicle. Dr. Hodara looked at It in real astonishment, aid then laid it by the side »112 the flrst hair. It wae perceptibly longer, al though when he performed the opera tion Dr. Hodara had been careful to see that all the hairs he used were of the same length. Another and another hair was quietly tweaked out, and it was found that many had grown bulbs, and In every way had acted as mere tree twigs might have acted If planted In good ground. Examination under the microscope showed that the hairs had undoubtedly taken root and appeared to be likely te grow Into good, long hairs. ("THE GRANGE! Conducted by J. W. DARROW. Chatham. N. V.. Preei CorreaiMindent New York State Orange GRANGE CO-OPERATION. Some Fcatcrea of the Work Defined hy .\atluual Lecturer, In a recent bulletin issued by tlie na tional grange lecturer, Governor Bach .flder, there are some suggestions reln live to the co-operative features of grunge work. This Is a highly impor tant matter, and probably three-fourths of the farmers in the grange are miss ing the privileges and opportunities of fered lu co-operative buying and sell ing. Co-operation Is the keynote of success In the Order. Ith as reference not only to the buying a«d selling of farm products, but numerous other things. In its social and educational work associated efforts are an abso lute necessity. Mid ki Its legislative work the united expression of Its vast membership uu a given question is what makes the grange a convincing power lu the halls of legislation. In its business features it is the concentra tion of individual orders into larger shipments that Makes It possible for the members to secure goods at the wholesale rates or at manufacturers' prices. In this matter of business co operation it has boon said that we do not seek to overturn business princi ples or cripple business Industry, but we do claim the right to buy or sell in the best market. Our merchants and dealers will not pay the home grower a cent more for potatoes or corn than they can Import them for from a distant state. Co-operative bnylng la but the application of their principle*) to our business. One at the latest movements In the gmnge along the line of business co operation Is the exchange of farm products between the members of the Order In different sections of the coun try by means of a business arruage ment in which Information Is given In regard to what Is for sale by members of the grange la one locality and what is needed by theiu in another. This is, of course, most advantageously car ried out within state limits, some states having information bureaus es tablished for this purpose. This la a line of ce-operation that can be great ly developed. Conditions are such at the present time that farmers must avail tliemselves of every such oppor tunity to secure the best prices for their crops and to buy their fnrm sup plies to the best advantage, and this surely can be done by the co-operative plan better than in any etker way. THE GRANGE AND POLITICS. What It Mar >■< Mar Net Conalat eatlr De. The grange cannot jso Into politics fer the places that are te be had, aatd R. E. Cennel In an address before a grange audience In New York state. There are about 0,000,000 too many at this slready. The grange oaa go Into politics, however, to see te it that those whe have public place shall not forget that they are publit servants and must render an aeoount of their werk. It is true that the grange covid net prevout the vetlug ef millions of dollars against the beet judgment of the majority of Its members, but it can see to It that the money shall be honestly spent and that what was pro jected as great public Improvements shall not be tnnied Into a saturnalia of public plunder. It Is true that no or ganlKation into whose membership ceme men ef every shade of political and party feeling can resolve itself Into a political movement for any par ty purpose and lire, but It In true that the agriculturists of the eeuntry are in a position te impress upon the parti sans of the land the great fact that they have la their hands the making and the unmaking ef political parties. With such an organization, always on the heights of patriotism, overlooking the field who doubts that whatever party might be in power the people would receive the best service possible at Its hands? Make the Orange Practieal. The lecturer should endeavor to make part of the literary work of the grange of the most practical nature. Town and village topics should be dls cuseed, topics In which members have a strictly local interest. This makee the grange a helpful organisation. Methods of town Improvement, secur ing new Industries, developing old onea. Increasing the efficiency of the public schools, improving the roads, establishing rural telephone service, local library privileges—these and many others are fit subjects fer dis cussion In the grange. The Order should take a leading and active part In such matters. Grooffe Fiilrn In Maine.
