'with Ottfra llaullnar t Destroy Disease. 1 A oluma primarily Intnidel for itu:se. but which will be of general Interest to physicians and aturlenta of medli'lne ha Just coma from the pross fmm the pen qf an Omaha author. Dr. Millard Lan- y te6, profeaor of bacteriology and clinical medicine, John A. Crnlghton Medical col lege;, and foarterioloaist of the Oman Board of llenlth. While the book (Intro duction to Infectious and Pa rani tie Dis eases, Includ'ng Their Caime and Manner of Transmission) Is primarily for "people dealing In a professional capacity with auch disease, the language and Myle are easily understood by the general public. An Introductory note by I.wellys F. Baker, professor of chemistry at Johns Hopkins' university, strongly recommends the work to the class of readers for which It Is In tended and expresses the hope that It may lead others "to undertake sufficient prac tical work In the subject of bacteriology to permit them to apply In their various occupations the principles of this science o Important In connection with medicine and with the nursing of the sick." The scope of the book Is Indicated by the chapter headings, ten In number, namely, Cause of Disease, Bacteriology, Phenomena of Infection. Animal Parasites, Avenues of Eiit . of Infectious Agents and Parasite front the Body, Port a 1 9 of Entry of In- . fectloua Agents and Parasites Into the Body, Portals of Entry and Avenues of Exit of Mlcro-oiganisms In the Various Disease. Disinfectants and Disinfection, Collection and Examination of Secretions and Excretions. Definition) of Health. Defining health as "thnt condition of the body In which all of Its -functions are normally performed, to the end that a , feeling of mental and bodily comfort Is experienced;" the author regards dlaeas sis a result of a rupture in the relation ship of bodies to their surroundings which leads to disturbed functions, and to ur usual subjective sensations and objectlM pneumonia. The causes of disease ar declared to be mechanical, physical, chen teal and animate. In differentiating li fectloua 'diseases four stages are commonly noted: An Incubation period, a period of Invasion, a stationary period, and a period of decline. The author says: "An In fectious disease must be regarded as a battle to the death between the body, 011 the one hand, and an Infectious agent on Ihe other." The statement Is made that Infectious disesaes are self-limiting, thnt Is, 'end to spontaneous recovery, due to the presence In the body of antibodies," which consist of antitoxins, and bacteri cidal substances of which the latest dis covered Is "opsonin." This "opsonin" Is mm vra Hlll IVfUIIU) II I 1117 J . iruva a I iu tan IT ' Increased at will. It srnsatlzea the In fectious agents for easier destruction by the "phagrcytes" or certain white blood cells which destroy these agenta. Modern Treatment. "The modern conception of disease takes the position that recovery from an In fection Is always brought about either through the production of an Immunizing a substance by the body or through the In troduction of the same from without,',' and Dr. Langfeld continued,. "The use of antl f toaln In disease marks the highest re. flnement of specific medication, In that an f Immunising substance is Injected Into a patient which can be depended upon to counteract or neutralise a definite pois onous (toxic) substance; the body of tha patient thus being relieved of the burden of producing antibodies, the Immunity forced upon the body of the animal from which the antibody Is taken being trane ferred to the patient." As to contagious or communicable !' aeases, the declaration Is made that they occur "when the microbe Is readily com miinlrable from person to person by medi ate or Immediate contact." Of all known forms of bacteria, of which there are hundreds according to Dr. Langfeld. only ibout forty are known to produce disise In human beings, the others are accounted beneficial, as they )ve on dead orgunic matter. The author then defines and Il lustrates different forms of bacteria and tells of factors necessary to their growth. Facet of Iloeterla. Taking up the effect of bacteria on the system under the head, "Phenomena of In fection," five Infectious agents In disease au,numern;ed: Microbes must be present In Sufficient numbers; they must reach their portal. of entry; they must to virulent; cer tain agents must be UTomrani.d hv nm or mora other mlcroorganlxms or foreign body; aom diseases must bo result of Insect bite.

Parasites which cause many diseases require two hosts, that Is. prepehce In mere thun one body before fully developed; thus the para site causing malaria and yellow fever come to man from a mosquito; that of the African sleeping sickness from a stinging fly; thst of the tapeworm from a Tea. "The aoitrce of every Infectious disease Is always another Infectious d'sease," say tie author; "that 1. the inf"ctlou sgert has come directly or Indirectly from some other person, and In this connection. In the matter of the exit of micro-organism from the body In disease we have the key to the happiness of families, the prrsrerwy of nations and to victory In wars;" and Inter contlnurs: "In the dlr. ml of s-a-e we are still barbarians. If not criminals, and the Indifference with which the public views the pollution of the watr supply by alvlne discharges Is ft shame to ourmuch vaunted civilization." , Ttilnsra to lie ATolded. Dr. Langfeld disclaims against the use of human excrement a fertilizer of soil, saying that the practice Is common to Chinese truck farmers and should be mad Illegal. No diseased person should handle vegetables or fruit which nr.- to be eaten raw. The places In which the pickers live should be made sanitary. The possibility l carrying disease from distant points by neans of rapid transit of perishable food is touched upon and a suggestion made for further Investigation. One chapter gives an epitome of all In fectious diseases, giving cause, location of germ in body, Its manner of entry and exit; how contracted and the disinfection. .Another chapter Is perhaps the most Im portant one In the book sine It deals with disinfection and disinfectants, and another tells physician, nurse and laymen the best method of collecting and examining secre tions and execretlons for submission to ex perts for examination. The peculiar value of Dr. Langfelds book lie not alone In the fact that It treats a subject and elsewhere satisfactorily covered, but that It treats It In a manner free from the confusing scientific mystery thst too often bars medical writing from the comprehension of ordinary people.

ART COLUCTION VISITS MANY STATtS Educational Featnre of Clnn Work in Ureal Demand Memorlnl to Chairman of Edocatlonnl Committee. That the General Federation bureau of Information la no .onger an cxperitt.nt Is demonstrsted by the lm.rcai.eU dimand made aaily upon It und th uumours 01 letters of appreciation received from those who have found the bureau a help In time of need, says Mrs. Mary 1. Wood, in charge of the bureau. In the' May bulletin. Kach day's mall preseuts new problem! for the bureau and new features o 1U usefulness. Today a club l:i the Indian Territory desires an outline and reference bboka on the Victorian era of English literature; a Virginia club woman hteJs facts concerning cnlld labor In the fnlted Stiites and the work of the Oener.il Fed eration Industrial and chi d labor commit tee; a commute In r..e southweft Is :ir ranglng the next year's work and asks for an outline on municipal art; the hus band of a club woman In a western town desires proof of the usefulness of the Woman's club; a New England rural club must have help on home economics. Re quests touching the Panama canul, antique furniture, relation of tha home to the school, and the Japanese In California are In demand by as many applicants, while reference books are requested on colonial home life, moral education, the Immigrant, home decoration, etc. Tomorrow will bring an equal number of requests of a widely different nature, but of equal Importance. The applications for study outlines probably outnumber any other, although the need of magazine refer? ences and bibliography form a very close second. Loan Library. At St. Paul a much-discussed question by those who were Interested was the ad visability of establishing a loan library for the bureau. Many of the best library workers felt that there was a doubt as to the feasibility of such a course, while others considered that no equipment of the bureau would be In greater demand. The decision was In favor of the loan collection; and very soon after the biennial a library of more than 100 hooks were con tributed by sanguine persons, club and federations. The experiment la sccceiaful. The ex pense of sending a book Is not great. The recipient bears part, and often the whole of the expense of postage; and the club In a remote town, where a public library Is wanting and public llbrarlea are few, gets Just the help needed, and grows accord ingly. More books are needed, and more will be received. It would seem that there would be no question of the support of the bureau and the supply of Its needs. Once demonstrate that a thing is needed and useful and the public rallies to Its support. The General Federation intends that the bureau shall be of so much value to the club women of the country that that they can never afford to dispense with It. Memorial to Miss Abbott. The following memorial to Miss Mary Merrlam Abbott, chairman of the educa tional committee of the General Federation who died March 23, appears In the May Bulletin: The executive committee of the board of directors can express only In silent sor row the loss every member of the General Federation must feel In the death of the warm friend and co-worker, the chairman of the educational committee. Through those who knew her dally personal life, surrounded with kindred reoulrlng loving .care, we shall learn of the In opy, buoyant spirit, tho broad view of life, and tho broader tolerance of pettiness that could not touch her upward search. The last Intercourse of the executive committee with Miss Abbott was held In Chicago recently, where she gathered, at her bidding, the officers of the National Education association In conference, with representatives of six organizations of women, concerning educational Interests of the nation. Every word she said In' explanation of her far-reaching plans was listened to with absorbing interest. In her memory, nothing would, have seemed to her so happy as the successful result of this first meeting. Let us work with her thought, her enthusiasm, before us, until we make It a part of ourselves and carry her love of this beautiful world Into action. Hevort on Art Collections. The art committee of the 'General Federa tion of Women's Clubs makes a gratifying report of the traveling ah collections sent out over the country under Its ausploea. One of these collections of American paint- j lngs has visited two town In Utah, ten In Montana, fourteen In Minnesota; '-twenty-one In' Wisconsin and seven In Bouth Dakota. Another' gallery has visited many towna In Nebraska, Kentucky, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, North and Bouth Carolina, Georgia and Florida, while still another has traveled through New ! England. These collections Include work loaned by the foremost American artists and the cost to the club or town exhibiting Is merely the transportation from the j previous stopping place. Another gallery la to be sent out soon to comply with twenty-one requests from Texas towns and omers rrom Oklahoma and Missouri. One gallery Is now In Illinois going next to Kansas, every day until June having been, engaged. The committee requests that clubs de siring the collection next year send In their requests before the close of the club vear as the route can be more advantageously arranged If the list Is complete. IThe ex hibits have been of great educational value in the smaller towns especially. Woman's ( lab Notes.

MILLER TALKING IN EAST Well Known Omaha Democrat Gets lata Kcw York Paper. While Visiting; Metropolis. Omaha's pioneer citizen. Dr. Gor. t. Miller, who constantly proclaims his democracy to be different from that of Bryan, has been making hlmtelf heard through the metropolitan newspapers while visiting In New York and vicinity. Dr. Miner had nearly a column In tha New Tork Times to exploit his own political views and pay his compliments to Bryan. incidentally putting In a few words In championship of the railroads and throw ing a small bouquet at Harrlman. Among other things, he said: Bryan Is lecturing on everything on the face of tha earth. H tpends three weeks In China and writes a book telling exactly how to abolish the .vll. which fifty cen turies of learninr and elvlllt.il, . ... .. c are. He s a thrifty fel ow.

OMAHA, May '.-Editor of The Hee: It Is doubtless of small Importance, yet 1 always like to keep a straight record. Yeur reporter makes me to approve the muzzling feature of the new ordinance on dogs. I did not. I do not. The new or- j dlnar.ee Is Just the same In principle as j the old one. It is simply curative to rnt-et I Ihe decision of Judge Kedick, who held me oia orainance void, because It con ferred legislative powers on the mayor. I waa opposed to the old ordinance. I am opposed to the new. But only because of tha muzzling feature Implied or expressed In each. That dogs and other animals should not be allowed to run at large, In a , large city, to annoy or Imperil the public la clear as the day. That the owners of dogs should be held to the strictest ac countability for their animals Is equally clear. But I do not see either the neces sity or trre humanity of ordering the In fliction of the cruelty of muzzling dogs as an alternative to their being securely kept ' on owner's premises. The council might Just as well order the hobbling of horses, or the dehorning of cattle, as an alter native to their being kept on the streets. The muzzle Is a cruel restraint upon the dog, especially In the hot months of sum mer. It does not, it cannot prevent the annoyance of which more people complain than complain of danger from rabies; the annoyance of dogs running at large at tho cost of gardens and plants and email shrubbery. t But now, sir, .the law Is passed, and so It Is no use to waste time In complaints. As It does not compel 'people to muzzle their dogs, may I not ask the humane peo ple of the city who own dogs to eschew the muzzle and keep their dogs securely confined at borne, at all events for the next four months, where they can be regularly fed and watered, and have full power to defend themselves from their tormenting Insect enemies. It will be no use at all to ask Irre sponsible persons to refrain from muzzling their dogs. It Is the easiest way to buy a 2S-cent or a 60-cent muzle for their dogs, and let them run at large to annoy their neighbors and exposed to attacks of stray unlicensed, unmuzzled dogs, rabid or not which will have Tree Oiurse through the city, where neither policeman nor dog catcher are to be found.' I may add here, that If the dcg-catchlng' force Is to be In creased, as some of the councllmen sug gested on Monday, the capacity of the dog pound will have to be- Iwereased two. three or four fold, or else thfilme during which dogs are to ba held Wfore they are killed will have to be correspondingly shortened. The dog-catchers are tiow taking up 260 or 300 dogs a month. That Is very near the limit of the pound's capacity, under our present rules. JOHN WILLIAMS. ELKS ARE DOING BIG THINGS Take In New Members and Lay Wires for Tvent y-Flfth Anniversary Celebration. The club rooms of the local lodge of Elks were taxed Friday night, the occa sion being the Initiation of new members. Ten were given the trip across the burn ing sands on tVie back of the goat, the new ritual being used In Omaha for the first time, and wus pronounced by the members as being beautiful. After the business meeting and the Initiation ceremonies a delightful banquet was served and the flow of wit was Interesting. The celebration of the twenty-first an niversary of Omaha lodge No. 19. Bene volent Protective Order Elka, which was to have been celebrated Febru arys 7, was necessarily postponed on account of the death of two members of tha lodge. The season of lent followed, and It waa decided not to take the matter up during that period. At the meeting on Friday evening last the matter was fully taken up and discussed.' With the Intention of making It one of the most pretentious social affairs ever given b ythe local lodge It has been de termlned to hold a stag social May 14 at the Auditorium, to which, as Is customary, each Elk will have the privilege of bring ing an Invited guest, and In addition it Is expected that one thousand business men of Omaha and South Omaha will be In vited. The use ef the Auditorium for the func tlon Is made necessary because of the Urn- j Hed quarters available In tha Elks' bulld- Ing, and the lodge baa made a liberal ap- yivtiiBuvii iiiuiic- u ! n ill. Weill HL success. Competent committees have been placed in charge of the social features and a representative body of Elks will act as a reception committee at the Auditorium. The Auditorium committee. In apprecia tion of this Social, will furnish the full and magnificent setting of the "Streets of Paris" as a stage background for the occa sion. The entertainment oommlttee have a number of surprises under consideration for the amusement program, and the acts and "stunts" presented will eclipse former efforts along similar lines. COUNTY FAIR GOES BEGGING Not Sowsrht by Conntry Towna and - Will Go Bark to Kla'a Highway. Because of the failure of any of the country towns to make a suitable bid for the location of the county fair It will. In all probability, be held In con nection with the Ak-Rar-Ben carnival again this fall. The board of directors of the County Board of Agriculture held a meet ing at the court house yesterday afternoon for the purpose of considering the propo sition of changing the location of the fair, but In the absence of any definite propositions no action waa taken. The request that the fair be separated from the fall carnival came from soma of the outside members of the board and soma time ago It was agreed to receive bids for its location for five years. Both Florence and Benson showed some Interest In tha matter and Benaon sent a com mittee to several of the board meetings but the delegation was not prepared to make a definite offer so the board de cided to do nothjng looking toward a change In the present arrangement with tha Ak eVr-Biu authorities.

That there are weak spots t m tne play will hardly be denied and even , the superb Interprets U n of Moll O Hara by Blanche Walsh can hardly cover up some of the shortcomings of the play It self. It must also be conceded that there Is strength and virility In some of the cnaracters drawn by Mr. Fitch and the local color and atmosphere are true to life. The picture of bowery life Is drawn so true that It Is almost startling especially In the first act. ' Story of the Plar. The story told by the play concerns the redemption of Moll O'Hara. a woman of the slums, worse than many of her neigh bors because she has character and her badness Is not the result of weakness, but of perverted strength. She haa gone al moBt the limit through her cynicism when her heart Is touched by Miss Thompson, a w-ealthy slum worker, who appeals to the mother Instinct that, asserts Itself even In this drunken and abandoned creature. The result Is Moll leaves her old life and revels In the glory of her redemption and the love of Bill Hubell, a barkeeper. The crisis In her life comes when she finds the man Miss Thompson Is about to marry Is a faithless roue and unworthy In every way. She resolves to save her friend from what must be an unhappy marriage. Her de nouncement of th wretch Is not believed by Mlsa Thompson, and finding It the only way to open her eyes she makes an ap pointment with him In her room and ar ranges to have Miss Thompson break In upon them unexpectedly. The plan works, but she is 'first discovered by her own lover, who renounces her as faithless. Mies Thompson also refuses to believe her guilt less, and abandoned by nil her newly made friends she Is on the verge of returning to debauchery when she Is recalled to her good resolves by the picture of the virgin hanging on the Wall. The play ends hap pily, however. In the good old-fashioned way. It Is In the third act that the power of the play la developed. This la the act In which the revelation Is made to Miss Thompson at so great cost to the reformed girl. It Is also Just here that th weakness In the development of the plot Is seen. The element of suspense Is almost lacking In th. scene because of the rapidity with which the situation Is developed. Moll O'Hara, after being renounced bv hVr lover. ' plunges headlong Into ber resolve to go back to her old life, and then no less precipitately changes her mind when her eyes tail on the picture of the madonna. The audience Is hardly given time to get Itself Into full sympathy with either situa tion before the change comes. Besides soul crises are hardly passed even by per sons of strong character In such a precipi tate manner. Character of Coatrasta. Aside from this defect the play has much i ' merit and In the hands of Blanche ; '.'nih the character of Moll O'Hara s given an interpretation nine snore 01 marvelous. The versatility of Mlra Walsh's talents Is proven. If proof were required, by the contrast between the first and tin third acts. She approaches her situations conservatively and with a naturalness thnt marks her work as wonderful. In the first act her fidelity to truth makes hr por trayal of the character of Moll O'Hara. the unredeemed. little short of disgusting but sha la no less effective In the tender ness of her love for the crippled child. Mike Flnnerty. or for her brawny bar tender lover. - In countries where beer ? a ia the national beverage, 14- there ia practically nodrurdc r,fm enness, for beer contains a small percentage of alcohol rd is rich tn food values.
