QUICK CURE FOR PNEUMONIA
Chicago Doctor Exploits New Theory
About the Disease.

CHICAGO, April 3O.-The announce
ment of a new theory as to the cause OF
pneumonia and the discovery Of a rem
edy was made for the disease last night
at q meeting of the Chicago Medical So
ciety.
DR.. H. Manning Fish. who made the an
nouncement, backed up his assertions
with detailed description of a case OF
acute pneumonia which, he d. Jared, had
been cured In twenty-four hours by means
of the simple method which ile described.
DR.. Fish first declared that the seat OF
trouble in pneumonia cases was not. as is
generally supposed. in the lungs. but in
the small cells in the bony framework at
the top of the nose. The pneumoncus, or
disease germ, he said, was not harmful
except when pent up In q cell of this sort.
Then, he explained, 1t acted like an ex-
piosive. began to expand and was abb
sorbed by the blood and became one of
the most dangerous of disease germs.
From these cells the disease works
rapidly down to the lungs and to all APP
pearances these organs Immediately be-
come the seat of trouble" said the ply
stefan. However, the fuel which is feed
furnished from the cells at the top Of
the nose.
The simple 'remedy consequent is to
draw this dangerous pus from these
cells. That Is what was done in the case
which l have described and in twenty
four hours the disease had disappeared.
The lungs. of course, were still affected
and 1t took days before the patient final
ly was able to leave his bed.

killed. The death list as given out was
five men killed. The explosion occurred
behind the gun shield and the conclusion
did great damage to the ship.

was caused by the explosion of the maya

farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes a bid for his land.
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named II the owner

vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
ton is not contained in contract

In few days he receives a copy of

for money. 1t is said that twenty

LARGE FORESTRY EXPENSES.
Congressman George Cook Probes Blu
reau Fees and Outlay.

Washington.-Chief Forester Clifford
Pinchot, who has been in attendance
before house committee on agricul-
ture for the past two days explaining
estimates made by his bureau for re-
quired appropriations for the coming
fiscal year, Tuesday furnished the fol-
lowing statement of receipts and ex-
penditures Of the forest service for the
current year in response to an inquiry
made by Representative Cook Of Colo
RADIO, who is member Of the commit
tee:
Receipts from grazing fees, 1864, 900;
from timber sales, 100000; total, ST.
ACT, 900. The total expenditures of the
forest service for 1907 were $1,000.
Expenditures over receipts, $4,000.
Mr.. Pinchot has asked the commit
tee for an appropriation Of 100000
for the coming year. promising that
the receipts from grazing and sales OF
timber probably will Offset this
amount.
Representative Cook entered a pro-
test against allowing any additional
appropriation to be used for employ
ing more foresters and rangers in
Colorado, the present force, he says,
being entirely adequate for the SER
vice.
He called the attention Of Mr..
Pinchot to the conduct of some of
these rangers, stating that they are
dictatorial and at times exceed their
authority toward farmers and stock
men, and often put them to unneces-
sary trouble and expense.
Mr.. Pinchot asked Mr.. Cook to make
specific charges, naming the rangers
in question, and promised If the
charges were substantiated, that
proper punishment would be melted
out to the offenders.
Representative Cook states that he
has received 200 letters from members
If Congress and 1,400 from other
sources, lots of them approving his re-
cent letter criticizing departmental at
