CURE FOR MENINGITIS.
Injection Of Fresh Air Said to Have
Beneficial Effect.

SALT LAKE CITY, February 2s.-That
ordinary air is an effective remedy for cere-
bro-spinal meningitis is the substance of a
statement made before the Salt Lake Conn
tv Medical Society at a meeting called to
discuss the epidemic which has ragged here
since the beginning of the year.
The treatment indicated has been success
fully employed by DR.. Harry N Mayo in
several cases. 1t is based on the fact that
oxygen is fatal to the bacteria which causes
meningitis The activity of the bacteria is
confined to the spinal column.
DR.. Mayo as soon as possible after dag
nosis. inserts hypodermic needle into the
lumbar region of the spinal cavity at the
top of the ilium and extracts ten cubic CEN
timeters of the cerebral fluid. He then in
Jects an anesthetic to relieve the pain. The
injection Of three cubic centimeters of air
completes the treatment.
Where the conditions have been at all ia
vorabie this treatment has been followed
by rapid improvement, although long Pc
Rod Of rest Is necessary to complete the
cure.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, February 2S.-Ac-
cording to a statement made today, an eff
fort has been made to settle the divorce
suit OF Kenneth Norton, the Yale fresh
man, who Is suing his wife in the superior

young Norton, who is the son of a New
York millionaire, and was in substance that
younk Norton's father was willing to pay
his sons wife $40 a week during her life
or plank down $4,000 in cash. II this prop
osition had been accepted by young Mrs.
Norton, the divorce suit would not have
been contested by the students wife. It

ment. although 1t was understood that the

NEW OCEAN FLYER.
Monster Ship Planned for Trans
atlantic Service.

NEW YORK, February 28.-Plans for the
speediest racer ever constructed for the
Compagnie Generate Trans-Atlantique are
now in course of preparation.
First hints that such a vessel had been
projected came at a banquet on board the
Provence of the French line on Tuesday
evening, when Mr.. Faguet the company's
general American manager, made brief ref
erence to the new craft.
When seen in his Office yesterday Mr..
Faguet went into greater detail. He said
the new vessel Is to be about ninety feet
longer than the Provence-the newest and
fastest steamship which the company now
owns. This implies a length of 720 feet,
which will exceed that Of the Deutsch-
| land, the present speed champion of the
transatlantic liners, the length of which
is 686 feet. The Lusitania and the Maura-
tania, which are now building for the
Cunard line, have length of 100 feet.
These new Cunarders are Of the turbine
type, and it has been said for them that
they will maintain a speed Of more than
twenty-four knots an hour. Mr.. Faguet
could not say whether the new French
liner Is to be of the turbine pattern, but
his information Is that she is to be very
speedy and with horse power sufficient to
drive her at a record-breaking pace. The
vessel is to have all modern appliances and
will go af1oat one of the most superbly
equipped Of ocean craft.

Morgan overbid Kaiser at Art Sale.

The news Of the sale OF several paintings
by Van Dyck to J. Pierpont Morgan by the
family of the Marquis of Cattaneo Is arous-
ing considerable interest at Rome, and has
been followed by accusations and counter
accusations in an effort to place the respon-
sibility for not preventing the removal of
the pictures from Italy. The Giornale
d'Itaiia says it Il evident that the author
tiles have neglected their duty. It now ap-
pears that the first negotiations were to
effect the sale of the paintings in question
to Emperor william. when suddenly Mr..
Morgan stepped In and offered higher

ATHENA. ORE. AUGUST 10. 1907

John Fl. Bank head the new senator
from Alabama says that he is demo-
crat, and gives his reasons for it, and
very good reasons they are. In his
speech before the legislature he said he
was democrat because he believed in
the greatest personal liberty consistant
with the rights and privileges of others;
because he believed in home rule and
the rights and privileges of others;
because he believed in home rule and
the rights of the state to regulate it's
own affairs without interference or
diotation from the national govern
ment; because he believed in equal and
exact justice to all persons and inter-
ests; because he was opposed to high
protective tariff which enriched the
few at the expense of the masses and
was the parent of trusts and monopolies.
He alGo expressed himself in no uncer-
tain terms as opposed to government
ownership of railroads, which he de-
nounced as menace to the life of the
nation.

will not earn money enough to enatle
it to live; and to punish comprehen-
sive newspaper takes a great deal Of
money. Again, the spirit of the time,
unfortunately and often, is crooked,
perverse, awry, causing immense loss,
or total destruction, to the newspaper
that tries to combat it. Many news
paper has found it necessary to "con-
FORM" in order to live-sacrificing
ideals, for the time, to the necessities
of existence. It will be said, of course,
that this is cowardly; but the bravest
man in battle, if he have also sense
and judgment, will not try to carry an
impregnable position by direct assault.
He will wait on events and bide his
time.
A newspaper may ignore or combat
petty interests; it may stand mistaken
amid the ordinary or common fuctua-
tions of opinion, conteD ding for what
it holds to be right. But in the his
tory of every newspaper times come
when it must yield something, or even
yield all, to storms of popular passion
or folly, or suffer immense loss, even
to the jeopardy of it's own existence.
Many newspapers have taken such
risks, and perished. Others have man
aged to ride out the storm-though
broken and shattered-the work of a
lifetime lost, and power of recupera-
tion lost with it.-Oregonian.

PUSH OREGON TO THE FRONT
Easy Way to Advertise the State to
Our Eastern Friends.

On April goth last the Oregoniar
published a special industrial edition
devoted exclusively to the exploitation
of Oregon. 1t probably contained
more special and miscellaneous infor-
nation about Oregon than any one
publication that has ever been issued.
It is peculiarly useful and valuable tc
the homeseeker, because it gives the
latest and most reliable information
about so many different subjects that
the homeseeker is naturally interested
in. Almost every department of in
dustry is specialized, and both descrip-
tive and statistical information of a
highly valuatle character is given ex-
tensively and in entertaining form.
Residents of Oregon who know its
advantages as compared with the con-
gested and depleted East, and who still
have friends back there whom they
would like to see here enjoying the
good things of this favored state. can
aid in a splendid work now without
cost and very little effort. If you think
your friend would be interested in
knowing more about Oregon and might
eventually become valuable citizen,
send his name and address to the gene
raj passenger agent of the Oregon Rail
way IL Navigation Company, and a
copy of this special edition, with a
complete summary of the several sub
jects treated, carefully indexed, will
be mailed to him promptly. In this
manner you may be the means not only
of doing your friend good turn, but
of helping to stimulate the growth and
prosperity of Oregon.
Don't forget that commencing Sep
tember 1st and continuing daily for
two months, tickets will be on sale at
almost every railroad station in the
East to all points in Oregon and the
Northwest at what has come to be pop
ularly known as "colonist rates."
These rates are the cheapest general
long distance rates ever established,
and enables one to reach Oregon from
any part of the United States at but a
trifie more than one cent mile. They
are the greatest incentive to COLOMBIA
tion and progressive home building of
any known agency. and if the restless,
dissatisfied resident of the East is made
to know before hand the advantages
he can enjoy here, the problem is solv-
ed, and the star of empire will con-
tinue to move steadily westward.
Now is the time to spread the gospel
of Oregon SO that it may be heard and
needed by the time the rates go into
effect. Send one name or two, or doz-
en-. and you will be exerting worthy
influence toward the upbuilding of our
state. Send them to your nearest
Oregon Railway & Navigation Co.
agent, or to VIM. MoMurray, General
Passenger Agent, Portland, Oregon.

A PUNDIT ON JOURNALISM.

The theory of Mr.. George Roberts.
formerly director of the mint, that "if
the man who conducts a newspaper
has the true spirit of his profession the
money making feature will be subor-
dinate and incidental, his heart will
be in the concerns to which he devotes
his pen," is principle that all news
paper men worth the name are ambi-
tious to realize. Hearing Mr.. Roberts
talk so airily about it, the uninitiated
might think il the easiest, as we'll as
the most holy, task in the world. Ex-
perienoe, however, proves that it is
beset with some difficulties. For even
money making, base as money making
is, is necessary, also in this lofty call
ing.
The newspaper must catch the spirit
and reflect the spirit of the time, or it

In one locality in a central western
state the cause of good roads has re-
ceived setback because the farmers
hold that when they put the highway
in extra good condition the automobil-
lists for miles around use it as speed
way, with the result that it makes it
unsafe as a thoroughfare for their
teams. They have figured out that
the mud and chuck holes cause them
no more Inconvenience and nowhere
