prominent physicians Office the other

The doctor stepped to his medicine

preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
shake well and follow directions and
resumed his seat.
"Such cases are frequent" replied the
doctor in answer to a question. "The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever. pneumonia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi-

will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fire.

No Increase in Beverage Use
In most of the European countries the statistics Of
the relative consumption of denatured spirits and bever
ages not closely kept Where they have been kept
for considerable period, they clearly show that the
increased consumption of denatured industrial alcohol
has not been accompanied by similar increase in
beverage spirits. In England where there has been
boom in the of industrial alcohol there has been
accompanying radical decrease in the consumption OF
beverage spirits This tendency has been continuous for
half dozen years. In Norway, where the statistics
closely and critically kept, the tendency appears.
Under date Of March 49, Anders TIL Kaer Secretary
of the Norwegian Bureau Of Statistics, writes:
''The consumption of denatured spirits for industrial
scientific purposes has increased from $4,000 ltres

1t is well known that pure quartz
glass possesses the property Of trans
hitting very abundantly the 80 called
chemical rays OF light, by means Of
which Photographic effects are pro
duced, and it has often been attempted
to make Photographic lenses Of quartz
alone. Unfortunately quartz also pos
sesses the property of double refrac-
ton. 30 that unless the opening Of the
lenses is very narrow good images are
not produced. Recently French opti-
clan. e. NORM, has succeeded in MAX
Ing small Photographic lenses of quartz
glass, in which some of the difficulties
have been avoided, and the lenses show
great rapidlty Of action. Still, the prob.
lem confessedly has not been entirely
solved, and the new lenses are recon-
mended- by their inventor only for spe-
cial purposes. Astronomers are, particu-
