Missouri Kansas Telephone Company
Sending in Money

Money is being poured into Kansas
by the Missouri and Kansas Telephone
company. in an evident attempt to buy
up a large number of small local ex-
changes, and secure a monopoly on
the telephone business of the state by
freezing OUT the Independent long
distance lines.
Today the annual report of prop
erty for taxation was made by the
Missouri and Kansas people to the
state auditor. 1t shows that the com
pany has bought up 90 small tele-
phone exchanges during the year end
ing March i. 1906, thus practically
doubling their local exchanges. Since
March j, the company has acquired
the exchanges at Erie. St. Paul and a
number of other points.
The earnings of the company in
Kansas have increased about $4,000
during the year, but it is estimated
that over 100000 was paid out for
the exchanges purchased. The com
pany itself admits that the exchanges
are worth $4,000, and this is prob
ably about one-fourth Of their real
value.
The following is list of the ex-
changes acquired during the year:

WORSE THAN LEPRosY.
Gangrosa Has Become Prevalent on
the Island of Guam.

Washington. March 29.-Gangrosa. a
tropical disease more repuIsive than
Ieprosy has become so prevalent upon
the island of Guam that Lieutenant Nc
Nance, U. S. N. the acting governor
of the land, has recommended the
establishment of a hospital for the $50
lation Of the disease, which is believed
to be highly contag ious Admiral Rixey.
the surgeon general of the navy. has
approved the recommendation and II is
likely a $4,000 hospital for cases Of the
new disease will be erected Immediately
near the ieper hospital on the island
Lieutenant McNamee says the disease
destroys the upper part of the face by
SLOW liberation and is more horrible
both to the victim and his companions
than leprosy. As 400 cases have already
developed Lieutenant McNamee says
its isolation is imperative
Naval surgeons have investigated the
disease in parts of South America and
the West Indies and their reports indi-
cate that there can be little doubt that
It is a distinct malady and one which
does not yield to the reatment given
tuberculosis, leprosy and other diseases
common in tropical countries. Cases Of
gangerosa have been treated in New
York, which are believed to have come
from Brazil and Panama.

CHINESE DOCTORS OFFICE.
Methods Of Examination and Adj
ministering Medicines In
Vogue There.

The method Of treating sick persons
adopted by Chinese doctors In some
cities is similar TO that Of the other
physicians of the United States and
those OF Great Britain. They depend
much. however. on the examination Of
the pulse, says Chambers Journal.
Their sense Of touch ID % wonderfully
developed that 1t Is said they can de-
termine the condition Of the heart as
well as some of the other organs mere
ly by the feebleness or strength of the
beats; but they say there are no less
than II different movements Of the
arteries in the human body, all OF
which can be detected by feeling the
fingers, wrist and arm.
When a patient calls on him for ex-
animation the doctor first presses the
arm, wrist and fingers, touching nearly
every part. Sometimes 10 or is min
utes is occupied with this examination.
Then he may ask If the patient is mar
ried or single, and also mis- age; but
this Is about the limit of the examina-
ton. Apparently he can tell the ma
ture of the disease without questioning
further, and If the caller wishes a pre-
scription he writes one in the ordinary
Chinese characters on a generous sized
square Of paper.
Ringing a bell, he hands the pre-
scription to the Chinese attendant who
enters, for each physician has his own
shop, filled with the ingredients which
ne uses In treatment. If he has a large
practice he may employ native chem
list, who M. ies up the prescription.
One of the curious features OF Chi
nese medical treatment is the way in
which the physicians administer their
remedies. Nearly all the Offices oil the
principal doctors have what may be
called tea room attachment. This is a
spacious apartment, well lighted, fire.
quently ornamented with oriental pot
terry and pictures and containing small
tables, each with two or three chairs.
| If the invalid does not wish to take his
medicine at home he is ushered into
this room, and while seated at one OF
| the tables drinks his prescription as
he would cup of tea or a glass OF
wine With but few exceptions the
medicine is in liquid form and served
hot in dainty Chinese bowls, for most
of 1t is composed Of a decoction of
herbs.
Each table contains a bowl Of rails
ms, and when the attendant brings in
the medicine he also brings in glass
of tepid water. II the drink Is bitter
as 1t usually is, the patient can eat
some of the raisins to remove the taste
while with the water he rinses his
mouth and throat. Then he Is ready to
go home, returning the next day fol
another examination and dose.
