he believed it would be received with
the greatest interest in the cotton

The information was obtained upon
special schedule, and was collected
partly by the enumerators and part
ly through correspondence. 1t has
enabled the census office to compute
the crop of 1899 as 9.644,s52 CONNER
cial bales, amounting to 4,672 ,695, 500
pounds. equivalent to 9,345.39l bales
of an average weight of 500 pounds.
In addition, the census office has been
able to locate the crop. both uplands

After ringing the drill gong the
principal sent out the alarm, and
the engines came dashing up to the
school building. The approach of

500 damage. After the excitement
had subsided the children marched

are commenting on the remarkable
chest expansion of Sam Cohen, a
youth who was examined and tested

his lungs empty, and when he filed

Lying ON his back with r'ank across
his chest, he lifted students Weighing
947 pounds standing on the plank by
filing his lungs.

FOLLOWS THE GRIP.
Medical Opinion That Appendicitis
Results from the Disease.
DIR. Lucas Chnmpionniere. OF Paris,
Makes sensational Statement
That is Agreed 10 by Amer
lean Physicians.

In a remarkable paper presented
before the Academy of Medicine al
Paris the other day DIR. Lucas Cham
pionniere demonstrated that one of
the common causes of appendicitis is
the grip or influenza. Although this
theory had been advanced by the late
DR.. Simon, of the Hotel Dieu, one OF
the chief Paris hospitals, DIR. Lucas
Championniere' statements have pro-
duced a profound sensa ton.
The Savant called attention to the
fact that an epidemic of appendicitis
has ever followed grip epidemic or
that the two often coeXisted. He then
demonstrated that appendicitis is but
localization of the grip affecting the
intestines, and often the appendix it,
self.
Appendicitis resulted most fre-
quently when an improper diet had
been pursued by the patient before
grip set in. This was especially true,
DR.. Lucas Championniere said, when
the patient had heen an excessive eat
er of freshly slaughtered meat. In
such case it was pointed out the grip
almost invariably localized in the in
testines. near the appendix, or in the
appendix itself, producing acute or
chronic appendicitis.
with relation to an incidental case
of excessive meat eating, it was point.
ed out that hundreds of recent gril
cases in Philadelphia were attended
or followed by more or less serious a I.
tacks of appendicitis. According to
observations reported by DR.. Keen
fully one-third of the inhabitants OF
that city have been affected by some
form of appendicitis. This, it was
said, was owing solely to the prevail
ence of grip and an oversupply oi
meat.
