SUGAR TO AID TUBERCULOUS Results of Experiments Made by Ital ian Physician Said to Be of the Highest Importance. The tuberculosis cure upon which Professor Monaco of Rome has been working depends upon the novel plan of creating an impossible en vironment for the tubercle bacillus, instead of destroying the organism directly. The studies began more than a decade ago, when small hypo dermic injections of sugar solution increased the secretion of milk in goats, but large injections dimin ished the secretion, the composition of the milk being unaffected. Since then it has been 6hown that sugar has a like influence on such secre tions as saliva, bile, gastric juice and pancreatic juice. An explana tion being sought, a marked expan sion or contraction of the blood ves sels has been found to correspond with small or large amounts of sugar injected, and action in stopping hemorrhages and on the gland sys tem has been shown. The experi ments suggested that sugar might affect the bronchial secretions of tu berculosis. In the early tests on tuberculous soldiers, marked im provement has followed, and cough, night sweats and fever have ceased. It is assumed that stopping the bronchial secretion by the sugar in jections has taken away the medium essential to the life of the bacillus, thus eliminating the cause of disease. BEST OP FRIENDS.

DELVE INTO FIREFLY'S LIGHT Scientists In a Fair Way to Solve My. . 'tery Attaching to the "Fairy I Lamplighter." I Just what the secret of the fire fly's light is the scientists have not as yet discovered. Three necessary factors have been found water, oxygen and a photogenic or light producing substance; but a fourth is probably involved which has thus far defied all research. The chil dren say it is the fairy lamplighter iwhose wand lights the little lamps .that add so much to the beauty of a Hummer's night. However, a method thai been evolved of extracting and drying the light-producing organs cf the firefly without impairing the power of the substance to phosphoresce. The dried material may be ex tracted with water-free solvents. It as ground up into a powder, and wa ter containing oxygen is added, which gives the golden glow without the assistance of either the firefly's will oi the fairy s wand. WAR THOUGHTS.

Common Colds Highly Catching lm. portanceof Suitable Clothing Could 8ave 100,000 Lives. Wellington, D. C With the subsid ence of the epidemic of lnfluenaa the attention of health officers Is directed to pneumonia, bronchitis and other diseases of the respiratory system which regularly cause a large number of deaths, especially during the winter season. According to Itupert Iilue, Surgeon General of the United States I'ubllc Health Service, these diseases will he especially prevalent this win ter unless the peoplo are particularly careful to obey health Instructions. "The present epidemic," suld Sur geon General Iilue, "has taught by bit ter experience how readily a conc'.ltlon beginning apparently as a slight cold tnny go on to pneumonia and death. Al though the worst of the epidemic la over, there will continue to be a lurge number of scattered cases, many of them mild and unrecognized, which will be danger spots to be gunrded agulnst" The Surgeon General likened the present situation to that after a greet Are, saying, "No Are chief who understands his business stops plnylng the hose on the charred debris as soon as the flames and visible fire have dis appeared. On the contrary, be con tinues the water for hours and even days, for he knows thut there Is dan ger of the fire .rekindling from smol dering embers." "Then you fear another outbreak of Influenza?" be was asked. "Not neees- surlly another lurge epidemic," said the Surgeon General, "but unless the people learn to realize the seriousness of the dunger they will be compelled to pay a heavy death toll from pneumo nia and other respiratory diseases. Common Colda Highly Catching. "It Is encouraging to observe that people ore beginning to learn thnt or dinary coughs and colds are highly catching and are spread from person to person by means of droplets of germ lnden mucus. Such droplets are sprayed Into the air when careless or Ignorant people cough or sneeze with out covering their mouth and nose. It Is also good to know that people have learned something about the value of fresh air. In summer, when people are largely out of doors, the respira tory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumo nia, etc.) are infrequent; In the full, as people begin to remain Indoors, the resplrutory diseases Increase; In the winter, when people are prone to stay In badly ventilated, overheated rooms, the respiratory diseases become very prevalent Suitable Clothing Important "Still another fnctor In the produc tion of colds, pneumonia and other re spiratory diseases Is carelessness or Ig norance of the people regarding suit able clothing during the seasons when the weather suddenly changes, sitting In warm rooms too heavily dressed or, what Is even more common, especially among women, dressing so lightly that windows are kept closed In order to be comfortubly warm. This Is a very in jurious practice. Could Save 100,000 Lives. "I believe we could easily save one hundred thousand lives annually in the United States If all the people would adopt the system of fresh air living followed, for example, In tuber culosis sanatoria. There Is nothing mysterious about It no specific medi cine, no vaccine. The Important thing is right living, good food uud plenty of fresh air. Droplet Infection Explained In Pictures. "The Bureau of Public Health, Treasury Department, bus Just Issued a striking poster drawn by Berrynmn, the well-known Washington cartoonist. The poster exemplifies the modern method of health education. A few years ago, under similar circumstances, the health authorities would have Is sued an official dry but scientifically accurate bulletin teaching the role of droplet Infection In the spread of re spiratory diseases. The only ones who would have understood the bulletin would have been those who already knew all about the subject The man In the street, the plain citizen and the many millions who toll for their living would have had no time and no desire to wade through the technical phrase ology." .

Wnslilngton, D. C. (Special.) Ac cording to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epi demic of Influenza In Spain has al ready caused an Increase In the preva lence and deaths from pulmonary tu berculosis. A similar association be tween Influenza and tuberculosis was recently made by Sir Arthur News liolme, the chief medical otllcer of the English public health service, In his analysis of the tuberculosis death rale In England. In order that the people of the Unit ed States muy profit by the experience of other countries Surgeon General Itupert Blue of lliu United States I'ub llc Health Service has Just Issued a warning emphasizing the need of npe clal precautions ut the present time. "Experience seems to Indicate," says the Surgeon General, "thut persons whose resistance bus been weakened liy an attack of Influenza aro peculiar ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With millions of Us people recently affected with Influenza this country now of fers conditions favoring the sprwud of tuberculosis." ' One Million Consumptives In the United States. "Then yon consider this a serious mennee?" was asked. "In my opinion It Is, though I hasten to add It Is dis tinctly one against which the people ran guard. So far as one can estimate there are at present about one million case of tuberculosis In the United, States. There Is unfortunately no complete census uvallablo to show ex actly the number of tuberculous per ilous In each slate despite the fuct that most of the Mutes have mude the dis ease reportable. In New York city, where reporting has been In force for many years, over 35,000 cases of tu berculosis ore registered with the De partment of Health. Those familiar with the situation believe that the ad dition of unrecognized and unreported cases would make the number nearer 50,000. The very careful health sur vey conducted during the past two years In Framlngham, Mass., revealed 200 cases of tuberculosis In a popula tion of approximately 15,000. If these proportions hold true for the United States as a whole they would Indicate that about one In every hundred per sons Is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes a source of danger to be guarded against." What to Do. In his statement to tlio public Sur geon General Blue points out how those who have had influenza should protect themselves against tuberculo sis. "All who huve recovered from In fluenza," says the Surgeon General, "should have their lungs carefully ex amined by a competent physician. -In fact It Is desirable to have several ex aminations mude a month apart Such examinations cannot be mude through the clothing nor can they be carried out In two or tlme minutes. ' If the lungs nre found to be free from tuber culosis every effort should be mude to keep them bo. This can be done by right living, good food and plenty of fresh air." Danger Signs. j The Surgeon General warned espe cially against certain danger signs,' such as "decline" and "colds which hang on." These, he explained, were often the beginning of tuberculosis. "If you do not get well promptly, It your cold seems to hang on or your health and strength decline, remember that these are often the early signs of tuberculo sis. Tluce yourself at once under tha care of a competent physician. Tuber culosis Is curable In the early stages. Patent Medicines Dangerous In Tuber, culosis. "Above all do not trust In the mis leading statements of unscrupulous patent medicine fakers. There Is no specific nrdlclne for the cure of tuber culosis. The money spent on such medicines Is thrown away; It should be spent Instead for good food and de cent living." V ' . A Sweet Job. "And now, Rlnce you have come out and asked us, Clara," said the Indolent and youthful editor, "we may as well confess that our Idea of a strenuous Job Is turning wild honey."

Accuracy Better Than Speed. . People who go In for speed record are not ns wise as they think they are, for speed without accuracy Is of no avail. True, time Is at a premium In every line these days and we should not under any circumstances waste a minute unnecessarily. But If we aren't sure about uny phase of our work we must take sufliiient time to go Into It and not rely on chance to help us where we can possibly help ourselves. Monument to Genius. Amid the ruins of the capltol at Rome, on October 15, 1701, Edward Gibbon formed the resolve to write "The Decline and Full of the Roman Empire," and on the night of June S!7, 17S7, nearly twenty-fhTee years later, In the summerhouse of his garden, the last word wns written, but In those laborious years Gibbon had built an enduring monument tu his own genius. Explanation of Snow Line. The snow line Is the estimated alti tude, In all countries, where snow would be formed. Even at the equa tor, ut un ultllude of from 11,000 to 12,000 feet above the level of the sea, snow Is found upon the mountain tops, and lies there perpetually. Proceeding north or south from the equator, the snow line, of course, lessens in altitude. Sardine Oil.

The Atlantic Refining Company Evtrywhert in Penniylvania and Delawart V t The Fanner Receives More Than five Thousand Dollars a ImlQ From Swift & fepany This amount is paid to the farmer for live stock, by Swift & Company alone, during the trading hours of every business day. All this money Is paid to the farmer through the open market in competition with large and small packers, shippers, speculators and dealers. The farmer, feeder, or shipper receives every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour, nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has just sold is weighed up. Some of the money paid to the farmer dur ing a single day comes back to the company in a month from sale of products; much does not come back for sixty or ninety days or more. But the next day Swift & Company, to meet the demands made by its customers, must pay out another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously tied up in goods on the way to market and in bills owed to the company. This gives an idea of the volume of the Swift & Company business and the requirements of financing it. Only by doing a large business can this company turn live stock into meat and by-products at the lowest possible cost, prevent waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to retailers in all parts of the country and be recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound a profit too small to have any noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.
