rUeERcULlN INFECTION.
New Theory Regarding Increased I'm

New York Herald: The discussion

nect in view of the recent declarations
y Professor Won Behring regarding 8
probable increased immunity against
he disease.
In bclstering his theory of prophy-
axis by a species of vaccination, he
lakes some sweeping and startling
statements bearing strongly against
resent notions regarding the mannel
II which the malady is propagated, and
lso as to the comparatively limited
lumber of adult persons who are safe
rom the disease.
AS an offset to hereditary predisposi-
ton to the disease, he maintains that
trom SO TO 50 per cent. of the commune
ity is already infected from infancy by
means of tuberculous milk, and that
With this large number a latent and
lurking enemy awaits only the oppor-
tunity to awake.
He explains this condition by as
suming that the infantile intestinal
mucous membrane is, by it's sieve like
construction, peculiarly calculated to
absorb the tubercle bacillus, and that
later in the course of the adult de-
velopment of the membrane such Il pc
culiarty does not exist. In other words.

is highly probable that it Will remain
immune for the remainder of its life

disposition to the ailment. In either
case an exciting cause is tie only thing

emit views concerning the infectious
character of the tubercle bacilli, es-
pecfally in connection With the mere in
ialation of the microbes by previously
healthy individuals.
In amy event While arguments may
wax hot ON both sides, we can be rea-
sonably contcnted to await any CON
clusion that may antagonize the pres

Retail Druggists Endorsement.


When the rank and file of tile $4,000
retail druggists of the United States en-
dorse medicine and the business meth
DDS of its maker, it certainly means it's
the best of its kind. This endorsement
is only given after the medicine has been
interested and they know by the hun
dreds Of favorable comments on the part
of their customers, that the medicine will
do all that's claimed for it. The 10000
retail druggists of the United States en-
dorse CASCARETS as the best and
greatest seller of the kind in the country
and it's very rare thing, indeed, to find
q dealer who dishonesty tries to sell an
imitation out of bottle and says that it
is lust the same" or Just as good" as
CASCARETS. He don't belong to the
honest $4,000 and when you find such

There Is certain young man in
Cairo who firmly believes that II is
possible to see through the telephone,
and under the circumstances he Is
hardly to be blamed He had arrang-

at the corner of w. f. Simon's drug
store several days ago and when he
arrived at that place the young man
was not there. He decided that he
would telephone his young friends

hurry signal The absent young man
had "seen" the telephone girl and
when his friend at the drug store ask

would, she connected with the bot

friend at the drug store and when he
was seen to go to the phone and the
bottling company's telephone bell tin

After receiving reprimand for
keeping his friend waiting so long
the young man explained that he had
been testing a new invention which
had Just been placed on his telephone
in the form of seeograph.

you can see the fellow you're talking

something up in front of the phone
and see if can tell you what it is"
Tom held up his hat and the voice
at the other end of the phone i'm
mediately told him what it was. A
handkerchief and a telephone direct
ory were the next in order and in
each case Tom was told correctly
what they were. Finally he went to
the back of the store and procured a
fan and bottle and held them up be.

Maybe you can tell me what these
are" he shouted
Certainly | can" replied the voice.
"One is a fan and one Is a bottle.
