Belgium has been trying to discover
the perfect woman. According to a

this class of fires.

PRIZE FOOD.
Palatable, Economical, Nourishing.
A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food in a few words, and that
from personal experience. She
writes:
“After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough in
Its favor. We have used this food al
most continually for seven years.
“We sometimes tried other adver,
paamtised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most
palatable, economical and nourishing
of all.
“When I quit tea and coffee and
began to use Postum and Grape-Nuts,
I was almost a nervous wreck. I was
so irritable I could not sleep nights,
had no interest in life.
“After using Grape-Nuts a short
time I began to Improve and all these
ailments have disappeared and now I
am a well woman. My two children
have been almost raised on Grape
Nuts, which they eat three times a
day.
“They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom of
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed.
“Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills, and has been, therefore, a most
economical food for us.”

CUTTING DOWN DISEASES
BY DR. W. A. EVANS.
Diphtheria is not tne scourge it was
20 y«ars ago. But the price of every ad
vance is discontent. We are discontent
ed. We are discontended with the pres
ent diphtheria rate, and out of this dis
content will come as great an advance
in the next 20 years as the last 20 years
witnessed.
During the Jast year we have heard
of the Von Brnring method of vaccin
ating children against diphtheria. The
New York health department has been
giving the method a pretty thorough
tryout. It injects a mixture of toxin
and antitoxin under the skin. In the
mixture the toxin is slightly stronger
than the antitoxin, though they are
nearly in balance. The amount inject
ed is small, about seven drops, and the
amount of antitoxin injected is far be
low the 1,000 units injected under the
old plan. The injection is repeated In
seven days, and a third injection may
be given.
The advantage of this method over
the older one is that it produces an ac
tive immunity instead of a passive im
munity. In an active immunity the
patient fights back against the germs
and their toxin. In passive immunity
the antitoxins injected neutralizes the
toxin present. Therefore an active im
munity is both more effective and long
er lived.
The Von Behring method is also
much cheaper. The antitoxin bills of
a city health department are heavy,
even when it pays only 20 cents per
1,000 for antitoxin, as against the drug
store price of $1.60 per 1.000 units.
This is the first report from Ameri
ca on the Von Behring method of vac
cinating against diphtheria, but it sus
tains the many favorable reports of
Europe.
The New York health department
made another report that probablv was
of greater value still. In 1913 Schick
described a method by which lie could
tell whether a person was susceptible
to diphtheria. When a family of chil
dren is exposed to diphtheria some have
it and some escape. When diphtheria
breaks out in the dormitory of a chil
dren’s home it affects a certain per
centage of the children; the others es
is rigui or not. iwo years lime is noi
long enough for a trial. But the fig
ures ure highly promising, and many
capable men have had the tame con
ception. though they have worked out
a somewhat different plan.
McCormack, of Kentucky, advises the
following method of giving medicine
for hookworm. Let us say the treat
ment is to begin on Friday.
Friday night—A dose of salts.
Saturday—Bat no food except milk
and soups.
Saturday night—A dose of salts.
Sunday—Stay in bed. At 6 a. m.
take half the thymol capsules; at 8 a.
m. the remainder; at 10 a. m. another
dose of salts; eat no food until mid
afternoon; then get up. dress, and eat
an ordinary meal. Take no fat, oil,
grease, or alcohol while taking the
treatment.
Drs. Siler. Garrison and MacNell re
port that a study of 6,000 cases showed
no relation between the food and pel
lagra. This pretty well knocks out the
theory that cornmeal causes pellagra.
They found the disease somewhat liable
to spread among the people in the same
house, not by contact, as with measles
and smallpox, but through some inter
mediary agent.
What that agent is they have not
found out. They are studying flies,
lice and bedbugs as the agents, but
they have no results to report.
Of this much they are certain; yard
privies spread the disease. They And
almost no pellagara where there are no
yard privies. They strongly advise
towns to put in a sew’erago system and
to force everybody to connect up.
As to treatment, they report that the
arsenic preparations, including 606, are
not of much value, and probably they
are of no value.
Pellagra appears to be getting milder.
Good food, life in good hygienic sur
roundings, rest, and particularly
spending the hot season in a cold
climate, help a great deal. These
measures may cure the milder cases.
We got our ideas of the severity of
pellagra from the first years of our
experience with the disease, a time
when the cases were suffering from
neglect about as much as from the
disease. Now that it is being found
outside of asylums, at home, and bet
ter care is given, it is discovered to be
a milder disease and often amenable to
i-apc,
The custom In recent years has been
to inject every person in contcat with
the case of diphtheria with 1,000 units
of antitoxin. This gave a short lived
immunity. It was highly expensive.
By the Schick method the health of
ficers can tell who are subject to diph
theria, inject those, and leave the
others alone, and no diphtheria de
velops.
W hen a case of diphtheria develops in
a public school, especially in a town to
which diphtheria comes only occasion
ally, what is easier than for the health
department to do a Schick test on
every, pupil and then immunize the
susceptible children? In this way the
first case could be made the only case.
in the New York Scarlet Fever hos
pital, as In every other, there has been
an occasional outbreak of diphtheria.
A certain proportion of people always
have diphtheria bacilli in tholr throats.
These children g°t scarlet fever and
W'hen they are herded together with
others in a scarlet fever hospital they
Infect some scarlet fever convalescents
with diphtheria.
Under the old plan this could not be
avoided. The Now York health depart
ment now tries a Schick test on every
child coming into the scarlet fever
ward. Those that do not react are not
liable to contract diphtheria. They are
not vaccinated. Those that do react
are subject to diphtheria. They are
vaccinated according to the modified
Von Behring methods.
Now when a case of diphtheria comes
into this hospital the authorities leave
it in the ward with scores of children
recovering from scarlet fever, and none
of them gets diphtheria. They have
tried It on over 700 children now, and it
works.
The method is as follows: A mix
ture of equal parts of diphtheria toxin
and salt solution Is injected into the
skin. The dose injected is three drops.
The toxin solution is mildly toxic to
guinea pigs. A strength capable of
killing a guinea pig is diluted five
times. The solution ready to use is
Most transmissible diseases are on
the decline. Pneumonia is an ex
ception; leprosy is another. When we
get afraid of a disease we begin to
control it. Wo are the potential mas
ters of any disease, but we never mas
ter until we try. When we get afraid
we begin to try, and that is the reason
why disease fades as fear comes.
Leprosy, however, is an exception. It
is on the increase because fear is too
great. When a case of leprosy is re
ported we go into a funk and thought
is paralyzed. Why nobody knows. If
leprosy was ever highly contagious it
has not been so for the last 200 years.
Belonging in a small area in Europe
and another in Asia, it has never
spread to many people nor to many
other regions of the world. We have
a little scattered widely throughout the
country—a few cases in Chicago, a few
in St. Paul, a few in Los Angeles. As
people are so afraid of it, the disease
is generally hidden. In spite of this
it spreads but slowly.
Has any one heard of leprosy
pestilence similar to yellow fever in
1878, or cholera in 1856, or smallpox in
1895? But, being covered up, lerrosy
is slowly increasing. Dyer, of New
Orleans says so, and he knows more
about the subject than any one else in
America.
A leper named Early has been a
thorn In the flesh for six years or more.
He developed leprosy years ago in
Washington. The authorities put him
on a small farm, from which he
escaped to New York city. He returned
to Washington, got away, and unloaded
himself on the state of Washington,
whence he went to British Columbia,
and finally he is back on the hands of
the health department of Washington,
D. C.
un tns one hand, the health author
ities know that leprosy Is but slightly
contagious and therefore close control
of Early Is not necessary, and that, as
Early will live many years, he will
prove costly. Knowing all this, health
departments do not try hard to keep
Early from escaping. On the other
hand, the people are so afraid of lep
rosy that they will never allow Early
to stay long In one place.
Drs. Dyer and Lumsden advocate as
a middle ground solution of the vex
ing problem of leprosy a national lep
rosy sanatorium In which will be gath
ered all the lepers In the United States,
there to be humanely cared for so long
as they live or until they have been
cured.
The different states might provide
care. Louisiana for one has done so,
but it is expensive, and since leprosy
subjects are prone to wander from one
state to another, it is unsatisfactory
The suggestion of Dyer and Lumsden
is not altogether new. Norway inaug
urated the plan years ago. It built
four leprosy sanatoria. It then took a
leprosy census and got all the cases
into the Institutions.
Under tills policy leprosy is disap
pearing so rapidly from Norway that
three of the four sanatoria have now
been converted Into tuberculosis san
atoria.
In a discussion of the new feeding of
patients with typhoid fever the views
expressed were all in favor of freer
feeding than under the old milk diet
plan. Dr. Edsall thought that when
ever the digestion was disturbed the
proper plan was dietetic rest. No food
at all should be given for a while and
then nothing but milk for a few days.
The digestion having been restored, the
diet should be increased.
A patient with typhoid fever burns
up 35 per cent more fuel than a well
person. If he cannot burn food he
burns his own tissues. Some of the fat
thrown in the fire does not count for
Instance, the excess of fat. But un
fortunately the fires consume some
highly necessary tissues, such as heart
muscle and brain cells.
By feeding more food as fuel some of
these important cells are saved or to
put it in the words of the doctors,
there is less emaciation, less delirium
and less heart weakness, and convales^
cence is more rapid
Experiments show that more food
does not mean more fever. Drs Colo
man and Barker thought the patients
should have more sugars and starches
and less fat. Dr. Edsall agreed that
uphold patients with good digestion^
should be more freely fed and that the
Increase should be in cereals breads
and sweets. * ’

One day after the Injection a red area
the size of a quarter appears around
the point of injection. This area gets
increasingly red for three days. It
stays red for a week, and then a scaly
brown patch persists for six weeks.
This is what happens in a person sus
ceptible to diphtheria.
If nothing happens the person can
mix up with diphtheria subjects with
out running any risk.
Let us see where something is to be
gained from this test. Contagious dis
ease hospitals can care for more cases
than at present, since the danger of
cross infection is decreased. Cases of
diphtheria that have had scarlet fever
may be put in scarlet fever wards.
Cases that have had measles may be
put in measles wards. In time we may
be able to do away with diphtheria
wards entirely.
The method can be and in time will
be extended to homes. When a case of
diphtheria develops in a home the test
can be made on the members of the
family and the susceptible members
can be immunized.
The saving in antitoxin bills will be
great. It will tell who among the chil
dren should be injected and who can
be safely left without Injecting.
Our information as to diphtheria is
nearly complete. A strong armed gov
ernment is now in a position to banish
it wholly. We can safely predict that
in 20 years diphtheria in Germany will
be as rare as smallpox there is now.
There were almost ho deaths from
diphthferia in the Panama canal zone.
In the doing of the next great piece
of army controlled work we shall have
no deaths from diphtheria. Then some
years later, the people of the country
will have the same blessing.
The next step toward it will be free
antitoxin—free for everybody, rich and
poor. The manufacturers themselves
have made that the natural next step
by charging the citizens $7.50 for the
same dose that they sell to the city for
$1.
Richmond, Va.. has had an excellent
milk supply for several years. It has
had visiting nurses for several years.
In spite of this the baby death rate
from diarrhea did not drop in a way
satisfactory to Health Commissioner
Levy.
In 1912 he began a policy based upon
the theory that diarrhea is due to bac
teria and that these bacteria find their
way from the diapers of the sick to the
food supply of ths to-be-sick.
He began teaching the mothers of
Richmond througli the public press and
by visits from the nurses that the dia
pers must be pu« at once In antiseptic
solutions and that within a day they
must be further sterilized by heat.
This plan has been in operation two
years, and the death rate per 100,000
population from diarrheal diseases in
children under 2 years of age has fallen
from a maximum of 150 to S5.
A number of years ago Heubner, of l
Germany, was so certain that the soiled
diapers infected the baby’s food that in
his only hospital he had the nurses di
vided into two groups—one to care for
the babies from the waist up and the
other to care for the babies from the
waist down. The hands which cared
for the diaper* were not to touch the
food.

In Kansas City a few (lays ago Frank P. Walsh, a great citizen of
that metropolis, speaking for commission government, said some strong
and sensible things. He called attention to the fact that Kansas City Is
entitled to government that Is as business like as the management of any
of tho great business Institutions of that great city.
It seems odd that about the only answer the Kansas City opponents
of the commission form are making to the demand for modern govern
ment In Kansas City Is that Colonel Nelson and the Kansas City Star
favor It.
It Is singular that you can press thus upon the prejudices of people
sometimes to such an extent that they will "cut off their own noses to spite
their own faces.”
No man has so little cause to worry over Kansas City’s form of gov
ernment as Colonel Nelson—so far as he personally Is affected.
He governs himself: he hns everything he needs. Including plenty of
money to pay December's taxes. When he gets tired of the racket In town
he has a big, fine place in the country on tho Kansas side, and another down
In Florida.
Why, then, should he worry about government?
Why should he throw the Star into every fight for bettor things In Kan
sas city, when so far as he Is concerned personally he cun drink or he can
let It alone?
The answer Is dend easy. He wants the Star to be useful according to
Its size and opportunity.
The men who hate the Star the most are those who wish It wouldn't
stick Its nose Into local government, because It Isn't easy to make a politi
cal snap out of local government when Colonel Nelson's able staff of trained
newspaper men is mussing things up for the fixers.

I expected Alpheus to enthuse and beam

the university, and that after all my
years of research, and, I may perhaps
say without undue lack of modesty, my
not inconsiderable fame.
“Moseley's a great fellow," said Al
pheus.
“Isn’t he?” said I. “I knew he’d do
something for you.’’
“He did more, } think, than either of
us thought," said Alpheus.
“Now, ’ said I, “before we go any fur
ther, let me read you this little mono
graph I have Just written concerning the
raise and the true tsetse fly."
Thereupon I caufht up the manuscript
I had just finished and began to read.
Alpheus used to beg me to read my mon
ographs to him and used to take it as a
huge treat and concession on my part
when I did so. But tonight he wriggled
uneasily in his chair, lie did not seem
vastly interested in my paper. I think he
was glad when it was done.
He said something nice about it, but he
said it perfunctorily.
“I cjime back,” said he at length, “to
thank you for sending me out there—or
inducing me to go," said he.
“You had to forget that girl," said I.
He merely nodded, looking at me queer
ly. Then, to my surprise he stepped into
the hall and ran down the stairs. I heard
him coming back presently, and some
one else with him.
“1 want to thank you,” he repeated,
“and the madam wants to thank you.
too. Thitj is Mrs. Alpheus Mudgett, pro
fessor. &he was Mary Carlin down at
the museum until about half-past seven
tonight. You see." he hurried on. "I gave
Moseley that note of yours and told him
the whole story."

Absurd Comment.
Theodore Dreiser, the realist, said,
of an Idealist at the Players' club In
New York:
“The man's comments on life are
ludicrous and absurd. They remind me,
of the old lady’s comment on the work
of the militant Buffragcttes.
“After the suffragettes in Dondon
had slashed a Valesquez, a Bellini and
a Gentile, the old lady said, with a
kind of saintly expression:
“ ‘But, thank goodness, they’re all
old pictures that are being slashed.'
Hard to Stand.

stand prosperity.
