CITY PHYSICIAN WELL PLEASED
Experiment mt lumerirenojr Hospital
Indicate Dantrrrona Disease Mny
Be Conquered by Uxternal
Application of Itemed;-.
A compound serum for the treatment ot
erysipelas, admittedly on of the most
dangerous disease known to medical scl
race, U being used at the city emergency
hospital by Health Commissioner R. W.
Connell and Dr. Millard Langfeld with
astonishing success.
The serum Is used extemslly Instead ot
Internally by hypodermic Injection and
has proved the means of saving at least
one life.
A man was brought Into the hospital
In a" semicoma, his face swollen fright
fully, so that hU eyes were shut and
pus 'exuding from between the lids. In
sttip) of Injecting the erysipelas serum.
It as rubbed on carefully. The swelling
dlsifppeared and the fever left the man.
DF. Connell first learned ot this manner
of using the erysipelas serum from a
Kansas City physician. The external use
of ft Is not widely practiced by physi
cians, "The experiments we have made hav
beet; wonderfully successful," said Dr.
Connell, "and we expect to achieve eotr.s
worjh-whlle results. Our only trouble Is In
securing the erysipelas serum at a rea
sonable price. It Is very oxpenslve and
Is sold with the hypodermlo syringes. We
wilt try to DUy ,l ,n Dullc nm without
thai-apparatus for Injecting It."
Graff Tiroes Use of
More Simplioity in
Our Amusements
A Basis 6t simplicity In amusement and
othef activities of llfs was urged by
6upJnUndent E. U. draff Friday even
ing t Kdward Roeewater school follow
ing 'a. May festival program ot songs,
drills and folk dancing presented by the
students, with their parents and other
relatives as guests.
lamenting the fact that In the rush ot
strenuous present day activity people are
rettng away from their former ideas ot
si mpie amusement, superintendent draff
declared that the avenlng's simple, whole-some-amusement,
participated In by many
children and enjoyed by the large crowd
ot gVown-ups was proof that exaggerated,
commercialized amusement was not
necepsary for a good time. lie said that
wholtsotna dlvertlsement like lost 'even
ing'' entertainment was an important part
ot Um sqhool curriculum, aa It waa the
duty of the school sysMnrtcrontribut to
the physical, moral and a esthetto develop-,
rntnt; aa well aa to the ordinary educa
tion 5f the pupils.
President C. T, Walker ot the Board of
Education paid a tribute to tho teachers,
andSHrs. Anderson, the principal, received
iranr other compliments from those at
tending, for tho success ot the festival
.and "the excellent ot the work' done by
thn teaching staff '.isdatv.wU. yer,Boyr.
drawing to a close." ' '"
Whether or not the summer session of
the public schools, at which pupils may
make up back work, will be discontinued,
Is to be settled probably at a meeting of
the Board of Education Monday night
The committee on teachers and instruc
tion will hold a special meeting at 7
o'clock Monday evening and a report may
bo made asking the board to decide now
to abandon the school, as the oommltteo
has heretofore put luelf on record as
against the school.
President C. T. Walker of the school
board said ho would stand by any report
of the teschors' committee, of which Dr.
J. J. Foster Is chairman.
A strong move Is on to maintain the
school this summer and there is also ap
parently strong opposition on the ground
ot expense and the "lack of a demand
for it."
Dr. E. Holovtchlner, who favors tho
school, believes one vote will doclde what
will be done. President Walker Is also of
the opinion that the vote will be close.
Just who .will swing the balance for or
against the school cannot be foretold, as
several members of the bpard have not
expressed themselves on the question.
Dr. Connell Would
Put the Quarantine
Patients on Honor
Quarantine methods as used In Chicago
will bo studied by Dr. It, W. Connell,
city health commissioner, who will leave
ftunday night a spend a week In the east
studying sanitation and particularly the
quarantine methods.
"Quarantine has not been very satis
factory here," sold Dr. Connell. "At
least not aa we are compelled to roo
tles it. Chicago, I understand, has a kind
ot honor system' that does not work so
great hardships on patients."
When Dr. Connell returns he will ask
the city commission to pass an ordinance
giving htm authority to deal with con
tagious diseases In any manner he may
see fit, providing he has found a better
method ot handling such diseases.
This winter has seen a succession pt
contagions at once unusual' and ot
greater extent than for many previous
winters. The weathor has been partly
blamed, but tho health commissioner be
lieves quarantine methods may havt been
responsible ,to somo extent
Dr. Connell and his assistant. Dr. Mil
lard Langfeld, say the number ot cases
of contagious diseases is being held to a
minimum. Dlptherla and smallpox, as well
as scarlet fever have, however, claimed
many victims this winter, and tho con
tagions have not, by any means, beeri
wiped out completely.

Modern Cold Storage Plant
Is Completed
The largest cold storago plant in the west, according to Manager P, 0. Hyson, is
. that of the Omaha Cold Storage company just completed, t.!EJighth andFarnam streets
in Omaha. This is a seven story plant. It has a front of 154 feet on Farnam street
and 132 feet on Eighth street. It is built of' reinforced concrete faced with briok.
Every floor and every ceiling is inlaid with cork insulation seven inches thick be
tween the .layers of concrete. This is an in sulation system that is perfect as the cork
does riot conduct the heat readily. - . . , .
Vast store Tdoms are even now being filled with perishable -food stuffs or other
wise cold storage products, as this is the mid-harvest season for such produots.. ,'A.
perfect system of piling tho goodsTs employed.' Little "strips of lath are laid on top of '
each package for each succeeding case to rest upon, which gives' a sufficient vontila
tion space between tho packages. This is a system, devised to keep tho products
"sweet" as it allows all the heat of tho goods to pass off readily so that they will
quickly assumo tho temperature of the storage room.
The foodstuff is stored in a room cooled to the point required for that particular
goods. This- is 35 above zero for some of tho goods and 10 below zero for others.
In the "frozen products" room where butter and other produce that will stand
freezing are kept, tho temperaturo is driven down to from 8 to 10 degrees below zero.
Hero freezing products are stored and kept in perfect' condition until the demand calls
for them on the markets of the world.
The creamory department alone of this plant would make a large creamery if it
stood alone as a creamery plant. Here is all the equipment of tho modern sanitary
creamery, the many cooling pipes, the up-to-date pasteuriser, tho 'ripening vats, tho
bacterial test room and the four magnificent churns that pound out 800 pounds of
butter apiece every thirty minutes.'. ,
Back at the south end of the plant,' a full, block away:from tho creamery depart
ment, and with no connecting air passage to carry the faintest odor, is tho poultry de
partment, where in the fall when the killing season is on this plant will kill, dross and
store a carload of -poultry a day.
Down in tho ongino room the great engines play constantly to supply the cooling
circulation for the storage rooms. As the great engines throb they force the cooling
fluid through the network of p"ipes in tho various rooms xmd the pipes are constantly
covered with from an inch to an inch and a half of frost. Duplicate engines have been
installed so that if for any reason it should -become necessary to shut one down the
other can bo started nt once to keep the process going. Twt engines are operated by
steam and tho others by electricity. Tho Baker Ice Machine company installed the
extensive system of piping throughout the building.
Now that tho plant has gone into full operation 155 persons are employed, and
according to Manager P. 0. Hyson, this number will vary from 150 to-175, according to
the time of year. - ' '
