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.

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.

How to Guard Against Pneumonia.
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 '

"And now, Rlnce you have come out

and youthful editor, "we may as well
confess that our Idea of a strenuous
Job Is turning wild honey."

Indian Superstition.
A Rtudent of Indian customs relays
that among (he Seneca tribes was cue
remarkable for its beauty. When u
maiden died the Indians Imprisoned a
youDg bird until It first began to try
Its powers of song, and then loading
It with messages and caresses they
loosed Us bonds over her grave In the
belief Hint It would not fold Its wlng
nor close Us eyes until It had flown tu
the spirit land und delivered Us bun

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.

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.
