First, the wage rate In Battle Creek

it. No manufactures will be welcome

Many former union men have abandoned

quarters in the Pioneer Building, took

high with letters and kilograms.
Haywood's progress from his hotel to

bid him welcome home. One, a con-
ductor. to Haywood's inquiry as to the
progress Of the strike replied: "Oh. we
conductors are not involved
NO, you fellows strike one al a time, +"
said Haywood. They can lick you easier
that way. The idea of signing contracts
for a period of years is not good policy"
continued Haywood. we know that in
the last few years prices of commodities
have risen from 20 to 30 per cen A craft

reduction in wages to hat amount, for
wages are only what the little .pittance

Announcement OT Its success Expected
-ReNnlts at Gaatalih.

DR.. Simon F1exner. director of the Rookie
teller Institute for Medical Research, who
has been experimenting for Two years to
find n serum which would cure or at least
check oe~rebrospinal meningitis. IL ex-
pected to a some announcement OF
the success of his efforts when he returns
at the end Of this, month from Europe,
where he has spent most Of the summer
While on the Continent DR.. F1exner visited
a number OF laboratories where patholo-
gists have been working along the same
line as himself and under the auspices Of
the Rockefeller Institute.
Before DR.. Flexner went 10 Europe il
was known that he had almost perfected
a serum which had been proved by ex-
periments on monkeys to be successful in
checking cerebrospinsl meningitis. This
serum was obtained from guinea pigs.
and in the case OF the monkeys was in
jected directly into the spinal canal. Mon
keys were chosen for experimental pur-
poses because they had a posture most
like a human being while standing erect.
DR.. Fiexner went to work on his cerebrc~
spinal meningitis experiments in the spring
OF 1905. after the epidemic Of the previous
winter, when there were over 1000 cases of
the disease in Greater New York and over

of these men who had been carrying on
experiments On the same line as DR.. Flexner
was DR.. George T.. ~ of Cleveland, who
is connected with the Lakeside Hospital and
the Western Reserve Medical College.
When al epidemic appeared in Casta liza.
Ohio, late in the spring DIR. Ladd used "A
great quantity OF the serum under instruc-
tons from DR.. Flexner TO treat victims Of
the disease. The epidemic was checked
with remarkable results, local physicians
said, and their knowledge of the effect of
the serum on humans was at once secured
by DIR. FleSner, who put il TO good Use in
perfecting the antitoxin.
Nineteen persons were stricken when the
disease first appeared in Castalia. When
the SERUM was secured from DR.. Flexner
IL was applied in three cases. that of a man
% years old, a girl of 10 and "A boy of 3.
girls case was the worst of all. The
three victims are still sick. but will recover.
1T was a most remarkable recovery"
said DIR. =. Gorsuch of Castalia yesterday.
Not one of the patients could have possibly
got well. The girl was one OF the first at
tackled, and vas nearly lead when the
serum was applied. We doctors here lave
said nothing about the matter because
the cases were Of an experimental nature
We kept DR.. Flexner in close touch with
the progress Of the patients and feel that
the experiments have demonstrated alb
solutely that the serum will cure meningitis.
One Of the worst cases in the human calen-
dar has been CURED without doubt"
