BUILDING BIG STACK

The work on the big 165 foot smoke
stack at the Consolidated paper mill is
progressing rapidly, and the structure
can now be seen from all parts of the
city. At noon to-day, Friday, the
brick work had been carried to a
height OF 73 feet, and by night it was
expected to be nearly 80 feet high.
At this rate the chimney will be fin
iShed in about two weeks, if the
weather is favorable. 1t is being
built by the AlphOnS CuStodis Chin
ney company, whose offices are in Chi
cago. Five men are at work on the
top OF the structure, and they arc
putting it up at the rate Of about
twelve feet per day. When completed
1t Is expected to be remedy for the
smoke and cinder evil that residents
OF the city whose homes are near the
mill, have been complaining of.
Moreover it will add greatly to the
power Of the furnaces to handle re-
fuse which is burned and it will also
greatly improve the appearance of the
mill as manufacturing institution.

There is no known specific for tu-
berculosis" has been the accepted atti-
tude of the medical profession from
time immemorial. The treatment has
for many years become almost entirely
supporting and hygienic. The sole
prospect of radical cure or even of
prolonging the life of one who began
to show symptoms of the disease was
to be found in increasing the patients
power of resistance. The entire scheme
of treatment In the most famous SAM
tariums has been embraced in fresh
air, rest and good nourishment. No
one has ever claimed that this system
Is of any especial avail in advanced

even years to effect permanent i'm

treatment has made 1t almost prohibit

ceived the benefit intended.
tuberculosis has been known from
the earliest times. If antiquity alone
were positive virtue this disease
would merit great distinction, for

works. 1t was not until 1882, how

ever, that Koch discovered tile bacillus
which causes it. Since that time moth
| ing of moment has been AIDED to the
worlds knowledge of the disease until
this last brilliant enlightenment of
Professor Won Behring. AT the recent
tuberculosis congress some of the the
cries advanced by Koch and the So
called German school of experimenters
have been dfscredited. One of them is
the claim that the tuberculosis of cat
tie cannot be transmitted to the hui
man species.
The widest speculation Is current as
to the exact nature of the new discov-
cry. 1t is the prevailing belief that
the successful experiments in curing
tuberculosis in cattle which have been
made by Professor Won Behring and
his assistants have been the precursors
of the cure lie believes he has discoy-
cred for human beings afflicted with
the same disorder. He has convinced
himself that Koch's theory that the
diseases are not Identical in man and
in animals is worthless, and 1t is but
| a step to the conclusion that the same
curative treatment will be efficacious
in both.
At Marburg, where the professor
has devoted himself assiduously to the
prosecution of his researches, he has a
farm of 400 acres and not less than
400 cows and several hundred horses
and other animals under constant OBJ
seryation. The Emperor of Germany
has taken the most intense interest in
the work and has contributed greatly
to the study in more ways than one.
One of the most important features
connected with the new discovery is
that it promises not only a cure, but
immunity for those who use It. This
would seem to indicate that Won Beh-
ring has found something which will
affect the blood permanently and cause
such material changes that the bacilli
of tuberculosis cannot live in 1t. That
would seem to imply that some newly
discovered feature of the bacillus was
the basis of the find. The scientist,
however, has declared that his cure is
| neither serum nor vaccine. The
next meeting of the tuberculosis con-
gress will be held at Washington in
1908. Long before that time the mys-
terry surrounding the discovery will be
dissolved.
Professor Won Behring's announce
ment of a cure for tuberculosis by
medication Is revolutionary 1t is cas-
lily the most sensational and important
claim that has been made by any repu-
table member Of the profession for
many years. 1t is almost as radical in
its pretensions as were those of
Brown-Sequard concerning his famous
elixir. If it proves to be all that is
claimed for It, it will mean the extinc-
ton of an evil which has been respon-
sible for one-seventh of all the deaths
which have occurred since the begin
ming of the Christian era.
