SMALLPOX scAREs

Corning has q few cases of smallpox
that are of very mild form and none

Ia the actual condition of affairs. yet
the facts do not prevent the circulation
of stories that might be Injurious to
the business interests Of the city. The
kind of so-called smallpox that has
been going about the country the past
year or two has not been seriously re-
ceived by large number Of physicians
and the public fear has been consider
ably lessened by the fact that the dis
ease has not been attended by but few
fatalities. It is always proper and
wise to use caution where there Is
danger and the authorities always im-
pose the law requirements, which In
most cases prevent the spread OF the
disease. Years ago smallpox epiden1-
les were feared in the north like yellow
fever is In the south. but the enective-
ness of medical science and the means
OF caring for the victims has relieved
the terror and also decreased the prob
ability of fatalities. But few people

freeze the cells by means Of liquid

step has proved a great success. The

THIS is essentially the age Of an
titONiIs, extreme cases of the
hair of the dog" curing the
bite. New discoveries are constantly
being made, both of the specific
germs causing certain diseases and
methods Of utilizing them for their
own destruction. 1t is well known
that if person were shut up in a
room for an extended length Of time
where no fresh air was allowed
TO enter death would ensue be-
cause the air in the roOm breathed
over and over, would become charged
with poisons given out by the body,
and there would soon be no fresh air
TO feed upon. In the case Of dis
ease germ much the same condition
prevails. 1t must have fresh material
to feed upon, as the juices II throws
off are a certain poison to itself.
Hence, if to the blood of person
containing germs of a disease, a sutii-
. cient quantity of the etfete material
furnished by the germ itself be
added, the small pest dies because it
has no fresh food, free from its own
specific poison, upon which to feed.
In the case Of many Of our most com
mon and yirulent diseases the bacil-
lus has been isolated and for their
treatment an antitoNin has been Sc
cured. There is, however, an almost
endless number which have thus far
baffied all scientists.
Nearly everyone is aware that the
antitoXins in general use are sob
tanned from horses, and the methods
of securing them are being constant
ly improved upon. OF course the first
thing TO be considered is the isola-
tion of the offending microbe from
the thousands of different variety
which surround it. This presupposes
the fact that the wicked one is so
well known as to be recognizable; ;
that his portrait hangs in the germ

WAS CHARMING HOSTESS.
wr Harriet Lime Johnston who Was
White House Mistress Under
President Buchanan.

The recent serious illness OF Mrs.
Harriet Lane Johnston, and the an
nouncement that she will this sum
mer visit various American resorts
in an effort to regain her health, has
again brought into the public eye
one of the most interesting feminine
figures in American history. SO qul-
etly has the famous niece of Presl-
dent James Buchanan lived in Wash
ington during recent years that the
general reading public has had oppor'
tunity to realize that a place is yet
occupied in the social life al the
capital by a woman who was the
most noted of antibellum days, and
the greatest of all the bellies OF the
white house.
Mrs. Johnston has since the ascen-
sion of President Roosevelt to the ma
tion's highest position, been several
times prevailed upon to assist in the
dispensation of hospitality at the
white house, and there is a particu-
