The story is told that a good
man recently died and of course
went to the good place. AS he
wanted to go sightseeing the
first day, an angel guide was CIV
en- him. Before long he noticed
a number of persons dragging a
ball and chain as they walked.
" How is this?" he asked the
guide, isn't this heaven, and
why are SO many bad men
here?" The angel smiled and
said: These are not bad men;
but they are from Mississippi
and we have to chain them or
they would go back. Fix

The Rise in Cotton.

The agriculture department
recently estimated the cotton
crop of 1904 at 1862, 039 bales.
When the news was announced
in the various cotton exchanges
of the large cities, it set the cot
ton men wild. The bulls tossed
their hats in the air and yelled
with delight. Cotton went up in
a few. seconds three dollars a
bale, or over half a cent a pound.
One enthusiastic man declared
that cotton would yet reach
twenty-five cents a pound. Ii
the rise should be delayed SO
that it would reach high tide
mark about next October and
November the farmers would be
greatly benefited. 1t always hap
pens that cotton goes up after il

DR.. Aronson's Experiments.

'Dr Hans AronSOn. distinguished bac-
teriologist Of Berlin. Is the man who has
brought the scarlet fever serum to its
present perfection One of the reasons
that we have been so late in getting it in
this country Is that 1T was not perfected
until recently, and that 1t is very slow In
development. Even now scientists 90 not
all agree that the real germ has been
found. but the majority are of the opinion
that the streptococcus is the bona fide scar
let fever germ.
"Coccus means a micro-organism that is
round, and streptocOccus means germs in
spiral form, like a mans watch chain
There are numerous varieties of StreptO-
cocci. Some grow in pairs and are called
diplococci. Others grow in lunches like
grapes and are called StaphlOcocci. Then
there Is the pneumocOccus. or the germ
from pneumonia. and the meningococcus,
the germ from meningitis.
DIR. AronsOn took some streptococci from
the tonsil of a severe case of scarlet fever
and produced a pure culture Of the same
He then generated the toxin therefrom. and
by laboratory experiment demonstrated to
his satisfaction that ne could neutralize the
deadly toxin by adding to 1t some Of the
serum which fle produced. DR.. Aronson in
jected several horses with fatal doses OF
the streptococcus derived from scarlet fe-
yer cases. When they were made immune
cessfully utilized 1t for healing purposes.
Then what was possible in the laboratory
was transplanted to the hospital ward.
'.But the credit of first disseminating the
value Of this serum belongs to Prof. Adolph
Baginsky. the director Of the Kaiser and
Kaiserin Frederick Childrens Hospital of
Berlin. 1t should be understood that Sc
rum, when injected into child or grown
person. does not kili the germ Of disease.
The serum simply neutralizes the toxines
generated In. the body. The toxines are
the cause of death in the human system by
producing paralysis. or degeneration of the
heart muscles: or. by preventing the proper
action of the kidneys. they cause death by
q process which we call toxaemia which
simply means blood poisoning. Thus. the
object In injecting scarlet fever serum Is
not SO much to inhibit the growth of dis
ease germs as to prevent blood poisoning

CERTAIN ROAD TO SUCCESS.

scheme. Far from it. 1t does not bring
riches near so quickly these questionable
schemes are supposed to do. But, on the
other hand. it is more certain and lasting
in it's results. Properly done, there u no
other investment that will yield such
large income. If all the greatest successes
in recent years. in a business sense. were
enumerated it would be found that almost
Invariably they are the result of advertis-
ing. And the measure of their success 10
generally proportionate to the amount or
advertising done.
Ask your druggist to name half a dozen
of the fastest selling proprietary remedies,
and among others he will name Peruaa
and Lydia Pinkhams Compound Why!,
Because they have probably been adver-.
tised for the past two years more extern,
sively than any other remedies Ask your
grocer which of the food products are sell
ing most rapidly, and he will name Grape
Nuts and Force. Why? Because they are.
advertised more widely than any others
OF all the rolled oats on the market al.
though selling at a higher price. Scotch
Oats Is the best seller, because IL ID ao-
vertised most.
Ask any school boy to name the two best
baking powders, and without moments
hesitation he will name Royal and Dr.
Prices because for years they have been
advertised as the best. What housewife
has not heard of or used Sapolio. which. it
is safe to say is sold by every grocery
store in the United States? This wonderful
result has been attained only by constant
and persistent advertising. There is one
brand of shoes that outsells all others be-
cause 1t Ia advertised most-the Douglas
shoe. What man has not heard OF, even
il he has not worn. the Douglas $500 shoe?
Only little over a year ago Force was
never heard of, yet today, with one eX-
ception more of it is sold than of any
other food product. Just think what this
means. Think what a mighty power 1t is
that will produce such a result

diciously With such an array of facts and
figures to be obtained on every hand. each
one verifying almost any possible state
ment that may be made concerning adver-
tising one is almost bewildered by its
possibilities. 1t seems that there is scarce
" a limit to the extent that any legitimate
proposition may be built If printers Ink IS
judiciously and extensively employed.
But in all the great successes attained
by advertising in recent years there are
three great factors which stand forth
prominently:
1. Genuine merit in the thing advertised
3 Concentration-the efforts of the ad-
different propositions
3. Good neutrality-suspicious. OF copy,
selection of mediums. etc.
These three factors we believe to be all
important in any contemplated advertising
campaign. If any one of them are missing
the chances Of failure are greatly in
creased But above all things don't asso-
ciate advertising with a ''get-rich-quick"
scheme. There is no similarity.

How a Serum Works.

''In order to make the subject more in
teresting to the lay reader continued DR..
Fischer. suppose 1 give brief review Of
the serum treatment and the principle that
underlies 1t.
MANY years ago Professor Ehrlich Of
Berlin. discovered that abrin and ricin
both deadly poisons, could be injected in
small and then in increasingly large doses
into animals until they had acquired a toll
erance,' to use medical term. for these
poisons. In other words. large doses could
be injected without fatal effects. These
animals were called immune. Then he rea-
soned that If the blood Of immune animals
could neutraiize these Specif1c/s pOisOnS,
probably the serum from the blood Of AMI
mails would contain healing substances
Thus he learned that in some instances
small quantities of blood, or serum. when
injected into another animal. would prevent
it from dying after receiving an otherwise
fatal dose of poison. This same principle
has been applied in producing immunity
from toxin generated by disease germs.
1.-The tuberculine serum, or Koch'S lymph.
as it was called, created more of a sensa-
ton in the medical world. and in all parts
of It, than anything since Harvey's dis
covery OF the circulation Of the blood. 1t
was the first Of the serum discoveries as
applied to human beings. But 1t was not
a sound product, and after a brief expe-
rience in the clinics 1t was keen disap-
pointment But DR.. Koch is still working
on it, and he may yet make it as distinct
A success as the diphtheria serum has
proved and. as I firmly believe, the scar
let fever serum is destined to prove. One
never knows.

SalOnica.

Sofia, Sept. 15.-Replying to the
notes OF the Turkish representative
here. in which it was alleged that the
insurrection in Macedonia was the
work OF Bulgarian bands who had
crossed the frontier, the Bulgarian
government on Saturday last replied,
refuting the accusations, reviewing the
history of the insurrection and claim
ing that the outbreak was the direct
result of the existing form of govern
ment in Macedonia, which had forced
the youth OF the country to flee abroad
and gradually organize the insurrec-
ton. Bulgaria also declined all re-
sponsibility for the events at Adrian
ople, which. it is declared. are due to
the persecution of the Bulgarian pop
ulation.
Finally, Bulgaria stated that the
Turkish government was prolonging q
situation filled with perils to the prin-
cipality and pointed out that there was
danger of catastrophe to both coun-
tries.

morrow.
