I-11-18 NEW IDEAS ON CONSUMPTION TUBERCULOSIS, AS WE }(NULL' IT, A {1) 'rs CAUSE. stud What Iles peen Learned in Paint Pew Years by European Medical Science, According to an anonymous au- thority in the Philadelphia Ledger the ideas of medical science on the subjeet of tuberculosis have been revolutionized in the past few years as a result of discoveries made by European investigators. These ideas, however, have not been sec- eepted by the majority of medical men, who are said not to have heard of them even, and apparently they are not being acted upon by- the physicians in charge of sanitaria, since they would appear to be some- what at variance with some impor- tant articles in the creed of those who are most spectacularly fighting the disease. For instance, the no- tion that consumption is an infec- tious disease, and that the utmost care must be taken to prevent the spreading of the germs, appears to be somewhat of a delusion. It is true that consumption is contagi- ous. but since all of us are already infected no extraordinary precau- tions need to be taken to prevent what has already happened. This, at any rate, is what the Philadel- phia authority says has been learn- ed in the past few years by Euro- pean medical science. A. JAPANESE YOUNGEST SON. Yoshio Markino Tells of the Days of Ills Childhood. That the family virtues can flour- ish in other than Christian coun- tries, .and that the English language can be used withquainteffectiveness by an intelligent Oriental, has been shown by Yoshio Markin in his hook, "When I was a Child." He is a Japanese artist now living in London, and has risen to success only after a long struggle against loneliness and starvation. When I was a child I was never spanked. Both my mother and fa- ther believed Confucius so faithful- ly. - Confucius said, "You can teach and lead any human being who has a soul. Only those wild beasts you may heat." They begged my nurse not to spank me. They always said to them, "Our child has a brain to understand the reason ; so if he is naughty, pray explain reason until he becomes good, but never spank birn." They always brought a look- ing -glass in front of my crying face. I hated to see my own face so ugly with - the tear -marks, and I imme- diately began to laugh. Very often, when I wanted to cry a littlelong- er, 1 used to scream, "Oh don't show me the glass fox a few mom- ents!" I was never scolded severe- ly. They always told me, "You are a very nice boy, but just at this moment- some evil is trying to dwell in you:" How pity the evil is mak- ing yen a bad boy and giving some trouble to your dear parents!" And I began to feel to sorry for them, and I used to cling to their necks And say, "The evil is gone long time .ago. I am your favorite boy." It is a general rule in Japan that youngest child is spoilt by the par- ents, and I was not an exception from this. Of course my sister and brother loved me so much. too. But as soon as I was grown up enough el -realised my position. I began to respect niy -Raster and brother, and try to be as nice as possible to them. Surely that gave some sweet euphony in my family, and we were the specimen for the children in our village, I/&COUGHS CURES G L as "You ought to be glad that you will be electrocuted instead of hanged," said a prison visitor to a convicted murderer. "Why I" asked the felon in surprise. "You suffer greatly` from rheumatism, don't yowl Yes,' ..Well, elec- tricity le the best known remedy for that." fifht•tiberculosis is to keep up the resisting power of the body, to be as much in the open air as possible, and to eat plenty of nourishing food. Because they aro obliged to take care of themselves, nurses who are constantly, handling the most malignant bacilli rarely, if ever, fall victims to the disease. If tuber- culosis infection were the deadly thing wo have been . taught we should expect the nurses and doc- tors to perish in ranch greater numbers. The fact is that we were allinfected as babies, and that as long as we can avoid other dis- eases that sap our strength and live normal, wholesome lives we need no longer dread the White Plague. A Life -Long Battle. These experts say that a new- born baby is free from any germs of consumption, and remains free un- til it begins to crawl around the floor and put things in. its mouth. The bacilli being almost everywhere are thus introns -cel to the system, and by the time the child is six years old at the latest it has tuber- cle bacilli in its system. Except in rare cases, however, these germs are introduced in relatively small numbers, As soon as they appear Nature on the inside begins a war upon them, and this soar never ceases while life lasts. The germs are always there, but the defenders are there too, and unless their pow- ers of resistance are lessened they are able to keep the invader in sub- jection. Gradually the body creates its own antitoxin, and if the gen- eral health is kept up we become immune from tuberculosis, Some- times, of course, there is a sadden invasion of particularly malignant germs that beats down opposition and then tuberculosis and perhaps death results. But the writer as- serts that such cases are so rare as to be negligible. FORTUNES ARE WAITING. &ranklal Substitutes Are Wanted For Many Things. It was announced a few weeks ago, says London Tit -Bits, that a distinguished chemist of the Imper- ial Technical School of Moscow had solved the problem of making arti- ficial rubber and that he could sell the new product at about 18. 4d. per pound. - Yet, in spite of this widely dis- seminated piece of news, the price of rubber remains pretty much the •same. The reason may be found by examining the patent office records., During the past ten or twelve years nearly 300 patents fon artificial rub- ber have been taken out. Substitutes have been made from petroleum, from coal tar, turpen- tine,'' peat, from nitrated linseed oil, and by treating cereals with phyalin, The latter invention made a con- siderable sensation eo long ago as 1906;.yet, judging by theconetantly- increasing demand for the natural product, it has little effect upon the real rubber market. The chemist, working in his lab- oratory, can take, any substance and analyse it—that is, break it up into its original constituents and tell you what they are, and how much of each element the substance in question is composed of. But when it comes to building up the original substance out of its prime e.onstituents, there he is at sea. By dint of long and patient experiments, or perhaps by pure chance, he may succeed in repro- ducing some few natural products, but that is as far as he can go. Indigo dye took many years to synthesize. A German chemist se- complished it at last, but the curi- ous discovery was made that, if blended with the natural product made from the indigo plant, the color produced was both mdse durable and brighter than that made by either dye alone. So anti ficial indigo has not yet ruined the indigo planter. Artificial camphor has also been produced. It is now made from pine tree turpentine. But the chemist has not yet succeeded in synthesyzing gutfa, percha: This commodity grows yearly more rare. Enormous quantities are required for making golf -balls and for the covering of submarine cables, A fortune awaits the clever man who can marks artificial gutta-percha at a price which will allow it to compete with the natural product. Cork is another substance of everyday use which seems to defy the inventor. The only substitute for cork is paper treated withpar- affin wax. But such a cork could not be used for a bottle of wine. So far nothing has been artificially made to compete with the bark of the cork oak, At Delhi, the new capital of In- dia, stands an ancient iron monu- ment which, though exposed to all weather, never rusts or decays. Yet it has no protective covering. Here is a secret which would be amnply invaluable to the world, which has been cliscovered by some Indian artificer of old time and most un- fortunately been lost. At a recent meeting of the iron and steel institute, Mr. Cushman said that we could face the future with complacency if we could re- disoover the secret. To shipowners alone it would mean a yearly saving of millions.

What then causes what we know as tuberculosis 1 What explains the fact that one out of six or one out of eight of us dies from tuberculo- sis 1 The answer is typhoid fever. Another answer is pneumonia, or scarlet fever, or measles, or in fact any other disease that strikes us down and weakens the resisting power of the body. The advanced physician, therefore, when called upon to treat a disease which he diagnoses as tuberculosis does not begin to look for the source of in- fection as ho did formerly. He looks to find what broke down the resisting power of the body. We have long known that infectious die- eases are frequently followed by tuberculosis, and the theory was that they increased one's receptiv- ity. Now it is asserted that they merely attack the soldiers of the blood that have been an duty against the ever present enemy, the tubercle bacilli, and give the old enemy a chanes to multiply, and at length to make a successful attack upon the citadel of life itself. 011 Mysteries Explained. If the new theory is accepted it disease ease explains some things about that have not been easily under- stood. For instance, according to Ha:zen's Law, a community that has suffered from typhoid fever, caused by a contaminated water sunnly, the typhoid fever epidemic is swiftly followed by an epidemic of tuberculosis, and various other diseases, Moreover, Dr. Spooner, of Boston, recently showed that the very minute amounts of typhoid poison used in the modern methods of prophylaxis will make active any, chronic or latent disease, and ho warns particularly against perform ing the operation on 'those who show signs of an. active tuberculosis.

Xing inherits some of the qualities of his famous grand• father. iia has, for example, undoubted ambition for public eorylco. He has !pont all his life in public positions. First no was in academie work, where he made a special study of industrial llfl ations for h the Departmente ofi Labor, which was at that time being establish- ed at Ottawa by Sir William Mulook. To titin field he was therefore transferred, later resigning the position of Deputy Mtuiitor of Labor to outer the burly burly of active politics and to become a member, as it turned out, of Air Wilfrid Laurfor's Cabinet. The defeat of the Gov- ernment in 1911 and his Oren personal de- feat loft Mr, King without employment. WIII Stay In Polities, For the present ho has dcoided to stay in the political lire, IIe ]tar a reputation as a public speaker and as a. writer and as he has no family it is oompnratively easy for him to follow his inclinations. In the graces of public speakingMac- kenzie Xing has few equals in the coun- try. Ho has a splendid voice and excel- lent delivery, which cannot help but be impressive. Ile is perhaps lathing iu the lighter elements of humor on whish many Political loaders have based great sue. classes. While he bee great ability, there are those who maintain that he has the faults that often go with ability of this type, They tell a story of his campatge in 1911 in North Waterloo, which is pro- bably not true, but which indicates the nature of the eriticisno that is made of him.. He was speaking at one of hie own. meetings before a friendly audience and was denouncing in round terms some act of one of his political opponents. His audience was being carried away with him and one enthusiast burst out, "who done that?" It is related that Mr. Xing paused 'to say, I presume my friend meant to say who did that." As inti- mated, the story is probably untrue. • In North York, H• (bout, he suddenly became awere cif a faint drumming noise. Turning ill the direction from which the sound Nana, he perceived a colony of termites beneath some -dry leaves that had Fallon from a bread -tree. The noise, which lasted for a few seconds, sounded like the vary dis- tant roll of a drum, On closer in- vestigation, Professor Bugnion dis- covered that it was caused by a lit- tle band of termites beating a lively tattoo with their mandibles against the bottom of the loaves. Thy, had evidently been disturbed by has ap- proach, . and were warning. - the working battalion of tho army. Another instance of the effective- ne,ss of the drum corps was observ- ed in the interior of a bungalow. Noticing that termites had invaded •the wall of one of the rooms, the owner had placedin one corner an iron pot filled with bits of wood; he hoped to attract them into the pot, and then burn them. Professor Bugnion want into the room and closed a closet door somewhat sharply. Immediately he noticed a drumming noise coming iro:m the kettle. As soon as the sound died away, he repeated the experiment, with the same result. Each time that, a sharp or unusual noise was made, or that some oma talked loudly, the termites' signal of alarm was drummed in the kettle. LORD LITTON. Tho other day the Canadian Club had Mr. Xing address it on the Navy ques- tion. As evidence of the interest in the seb,leat and in the speaker, one of the largest crowds in the history of the Club turned out to the mooting. Tho speech was frankly partisan and was enloyed or criticized according to the convictions of the individual listener. The speech illu- trated Mr. King's strength and his weak - flees. In other words, lie was in spots ef- fective and in other spots uneonvinoing, North York in which Mr. King has now raised his standard bane been a historic fighting ground between political parties for generations. It has been often repre- sented by a man prominent in the coun- cils of his party. This and the fact that Mr. Xing's grandfather need to represent the constituency almost a century ago may help his oandidature, though it must be pointed out that generally North York ie one of those cenatltuencies that shows a partiality for a member who supports the party in power.

His grandfather was the famous Bulwer Lytton, whose literary re- putation has somewhat faded, but whose abilities as a statesman and orator are still remembered The present Lord Lytton was born in India in 1876, whilst his father, the distinguished diplomat and poet, was Viceroy. He succeeded to the title in 1891. By marriage he is re- lated to such diverse politicians as Mr, Arthur Balfour and Mr, Wil- frid Scawen Blunt, whilst his sister, Lady Constance Lytton, is a rabid suffragette, and has gone to prison for the pause. Lord Lytton is a Conservative who is prepared to -vote for the "emancipation" of wo- men. In 1902 Lord Lytton married the "beautiful Pamela Plowden," and With characteristic enterprise the To- ronto General Hospital has delegated Dr, G. W. Itoee to spend several weeks in New York investigating the Friedmann cure for tuberculosis and making observations on the progress of the tests now being carried on there. Immediately on his re. turn Dr, Ross will make a report for the local institution.

A •srrm,acra BIBLE READERS' MISTAKES. Boaz Did Not Draw Ott Shoe, But Glove. A book coaa:piled, by Nathan Has- kell Dole recounts some of the mis- takes we make in supposed histori- cal facts, in quotations, in pronun- ciation and the like. It has many bits of out-of-the-way information, including the following: In the English rendering of Ruth, iv., 7, 8, it reads i "A man plucked off his shoe and gave it to his neigh- bor; and this was a testimony in Israel. Therefore the kinsman Said unto Boaz buy it for thee. So be drew off his shoo," The.Hebrew word vagal is said to mean' sandal only when it is followed by regil, the foot. When it stands by itself it -means glove. The German word glove ,illustrates this, for hands- chuh means "hand shoe." There- fore the token given in the passage cited was really a glove: The passago.from the New Testa - anent, "Be ye, therefore, wise as serpents and harmless as doves," should read "simple as doves" as the Greek word really means un- mixed, therefore guileless. communications corrupt good manners" probably was cited by Paul as an already familiar pro- verb, for it was written byMean- der, the Grecian comic poet. 3r . THREE REASONS FOR YAWNS SCIENTIFIC ED: 1'1,.1.NA'l'1ON Opp TKEI1I CONTAGION. Merely Resillt of Psycho Stimulus Together With Craving iu the Lungs. A really good hearfy yawn is -one of the finest aids to health, second only to the habit of laughter. If it is true that one may "laugh and grow fat," for both have the same power of bringing into play all the cells -of the lungs, which should be used for infusing oxygen into the blood, Yawning Promotes Health. If we took full breaths with every breath we drew every eell would be filled with oxygen -filled air and then emptied of air changed by the extraction of oxygen and the addi- tion of carbon dioxide, but as we usually breathe only lightly, many of the cells are filled with this used air, but they are not emptied of it, and oonsoquently until they are emptied are not in operation, and the bleed that flows around them fails to get the oxygen required. It is evident, therefore, that there are all the time in most of us a amber of cella t4iat want to bo emptied, but which we do not take the trouble to free, because we can get along all right with the culls that are working, and these are enough to keep the blood in fairly good condition. None the, less, the lower ecllts of the lungs are all the time striving to be- emptied, either by a deep breath, a sigh or a yawn. Three Causes Explained. • Yawns, arise from three causes, either because there ars so many cells out of commission that those remaining cannot keep up the bur- den of oxygenating the blood,, which is the cause:of yawning when we .are tired and sleepy before go- ing to beep, or on wakening in the , morning; or it may be due 'to a change in the nature of the atmos= phere in :the cells that are working, such as the deep breaths ond feels impelled to take when the air is unusually pure and which is due to a stimulation transmitted from the upper cells to those which are lower; or it may be .psychic in its origin, being duo to the effect of the -unconscious, mind on the air- hreathing organs. To this latter class belong emotional sighing and contagious yawning. The contagion of yawning has nothing to do with the nature of the air expired, because a mechanical device of a figure opening andi shut- ting the mouth widely will provoke yawning almost immediately, and the small boy has often spoiled a per:Lyr by' holding hia'hands together with the palms curving away from each other, Beeping the Wrists Together.
