In the treatment Of chronic cases,
physicians generally administer laxa-
tives, which form insoluble com
pounds with the lead that remains in
the intestines and remove it; and
later they endeavor, by the use of 9TH
err remedies, to dissolve and remove
any of the poison that has been depos-
tied in the tissues. Special treatment
by massage, electricity and exercise is
generally required for the relief of the
paralysis.
Water that has stood overnight in
new pipes should never be used for
drink or in cooking. The mineral
matter in ordinary drinking water
forms IN insolubie coating on the in

Most cases Of chronic poisoning by
lea are those of smelters, painters,
painters, glaciers, and other artisans
of this class, who inhale the metal IN
the form Of fine dust, or swallow IT
with their food, often, indeed, as a
result of their own carelessness.
In such cases the nature of the i'll
ness is Immediately recognizable, as a
rule. for the attack is always expected.
But some persons are so sensitive to
the action OF lead that poisoning oc-
casionally originates in seemingly the
most un~accountable manner.
Sometimes it follows such obscure
accidents as the drinking of water or
other beverage that has passed
through new lead pipes, or that has
been stored in casks lined with lead:
the eating of food that has been cooked
in lead-enameled vessels, or the use
of cosmetics containing the metal. 1t
has resulted also from the wearing
Of artificial teeth in the manufacture
Of which lead has been wrongfully
used, and aver from the repeated bit
ingo OF lead-dyed silk thread. In a few
Instances, too, lead pigments have been
used to improve the color of food prep
arations, and large quantities OF flour
have been rendered poisonous by the
use Of lead to I'LL defects in the mill
stones.
The distinctive symptoms Of chronic
lead-poisoning are arrangement Of the
digestion, lassitude, aching Of the
muscles, and dull abdominal pains, or
severe collie of a peculiarly agonizing
character. In most there is a
narrow indigo-blue line in the gums
close to the margin. The sufferer loses
flesh rapidly, his skin becomes sallow,
and In the worst cases the nervous
system becomes sffected.

oning Is ~convulsions or acute mania

In 1907, the rear of the financial de-
preston, the tide of immigration from
Southern and Southeastern Europe
had attained such strength and vol.
ume that almost every editorial writer
in the country felt called upon. more
or less often, to dilate upon what this
influx of strange peoples would mean
not only to themselves but to the re-
public. From Italy and Austria-Hun-
gary the protest was especially loud.
for stern figures showed hat during
the year Austria-Hungary had lost by
immigration to the United States $685.
452 of its people, while Italy was re-
duced by more than a quarter OF a
million.
This remarkable movement from the
home soil could not pass unnoted, for
every phase of human relation was af-
fected by it. The landowner felt it
most of all, for the men who left were
his laborers. Their passing reduced
his supply of available labor, increas-
ed the wages Of those who were left
and altered their servile attitude to
n approaching independence, so he
naturally enough cried out against
emigration, declaring that America
was robbing the European nations of
their strongest, leaving the aged, the
women and the children.
Frightened by the protest, Austria
Hungary passed drastic emigration
laws under which it will henceforth
he hor5op for thu rnry1ooA fo occann
its surveillance and service. But even
before these laws had a chance to dam
the westward tide the industrial de-
preston prevailing In this country in
the winter of 1908 had turned it
eastward. With the advent of hard
times" with the closing of mills and
mines and the 1essening of railroad
construction, many of the recently ar
rived immigrants who had been per-
forming the coarser, cruder tasks re-
quired by the Industrial development
of the country returned to their native
lands.
Among those who have watched the
and who many times has made him
self a part of it so he might better
understand it's meaning, is DR.. Edward
A. Steiner, professor of applied Chris
tianity in Grinnell College, Iowa, and
author of "On the Trail of the Immi-
grant, 1.-The Mediator" and "Tolstoy.
the Man and His Message"
DR.. Steiner is in no sense OF the
word a statistician, though in his book
are a few tables showing the increase
and decrease of immigration from
European countries. He is too intense
ly interested in his fellow man. too
keenly alive to his humanity, to re-
luce him to arithmetical terms. Every
one of the millions whs have come
to this country is to him an indi-
vidual. He says of himself in this
book: 81 recognize no barriers of
race, class or religion between myself
and any other human being that needs

1T HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.
Ilenty of PlnEiarisms Quite ns Bn'
ns That of Kitchener.

I'lenty of P~InEiarisms Quite ms Bad
nv That Of Kitchener.
They are telling a tale on Lord
Kitchener of how his speech, when he
babe farewell to India, was Dractic'
ally a repetition Of the address OF
Lord Curzon on a similar occasion, two
or three years ago., and what would
add to the embarrassment Of the cir
cumstances is the notorious fact of the
bad understanding between the two
when they divided authority as rulers
OF the most populous and possibly the
most extensive of all the British pos
sessions.
Something like it occurred in our
country the first half of the last cen
fury, the Washington Post says. John
White, a member from Kentucky, was
the speaker of the Twenty-seventh
Congress. He was from the mountain
section of the state, proud and sensi-
tive, and got to be speaker because
he was the follower and protege of
Henry Clay.
1t was a very stormy congress, ow-
ing to the quarrels between the Presi-
lent and the two houses, and the
speaker was a very busy mar the clos
ing hours of the last session. When
he returned thanks for the accus-
toned resolutions commendatory Of his
official conduct, it was a beautiful
speech he made, but it subsequently
developed that it was verbatim the
address Aaron Burr had delivered in
the Senate in 1895 Upon retiring from
the vice-presidency and the most state
ly, as well as the most beautiful ad-
dress an American presiding officer
ever delivered himself of.
White explained that a friend pre-
pared" his address and that he was
totally ignorant of it's origin. Never
theless he took his own life not long
afterward. 1t is pretty safe to con
clude that Kitchener the grim soldier,
is of more callous fiber.
When it was found out that John ].
ingalls, eulogy of Representative
Burns of Missouri was taken from the
funeral GRAFTON pronounced by Mas
sillon on that son of France who was
the T~el5machus of Fenelon's immor.
tai work, the brilliant senator from
Kansas said not a word. but only
shrugged his shoulders and twinkled
his eyes.
1t affords food for speculation If
Fenelon's pupil had survived to sue
coed Louis XIV. on the throne of
France and had reigned q score OF
years. 1t is safe to say the crown
would have reformed the administra-
ton and its wearer been the king of
his people. as well as OF his mobiles.
Had that occnrred there would have
been no revolution, no terror, no en-
pire. Mirabeau, Danton and Robe
sphere would not have been promi-
nent. Neither would Napoleon Bona
parte.
But God doesn't make such folks as
they without providing them with q
job. Hence He took the French Tele-
machus to Himself.

Doctors Flexner n Lewis of the

tile paralysis have been carrying on
extensive Investigations to ascertain
the nature of this little understood and
uEch dreaded disease, now announce
that it is an infectious disease n
hold out the hope that a serum for Its
cure will soon be forthcoming. The
experiments have been made on mon

about human beings; l know intimate.
ly many races and more nationalities,
and have discovered that when one
breaks through the strange speech
which so often separates; when one
closes ones eyes to what climate has
burned upon a mans skin, or what
social or economic conditions have
formed or deformed-one will find in
every human being a kinsman."
DIR. Steiner Is not the first wise man
to declare that nothing human is for
eign to him, but his ability to sympa-
thetically interpret the ideas of those
who are isolated by racial, religious
and social limitations makes his
studies of the various immigrants
whom he has met and known esne-
cially interesting. 1t also makes his
conclusions worthy of respectful con
sideration even by those not in entire
accord with him.
What does the returning immigrant
take back besides celluloid collars.
brass-bound trunks, gold filling in his
teeth and American shoes on his feet?
All Of these DR.. Steiner notes, but he
sees them not as evidences of mere
material prosperity, They are sym.
bols to him of life or a higher plane.
A missionary who had toiled in Africa
among a peculiarly primitive people
said that he could implant no spiritual
aspiration in the hearts of the saw
ages because they had no desire for
any material thing. 1t was not until
he had taught them to value and de.
sire a wash bowl that he could find
anything in their minds on which to
hang his teachings. The divine dis
content of the poets may have it's orr
gin in h desire for shoes, for meat.
for bread, for better clothing. for more
clothing. Possessed by these desires
men are led to exert themselves, to go
forth to new lands, to work, to learn
new ways, new manners, to enlarge
their lives and to broaden beyond
measurement that of the generations
who follow them. So the returned i'm
migrant takes back to his native land
more than the money he has earned.
He takes back the desire to work,
greater respect for himself and for his
wife, a %quickened moral sense and
some knowledge as to the need of fresh
air in his sleeping rooms.
Dr.. Steiner is confident that II
America does her part the immigrants
from southern Europe will not be a
serious menace Some of the argu-
ments advanced against their desir-
ability he W Their mobility as
compared with the immigrants from
northern Europe, their movement back
to their old home during the period
of economic distress, he interprets as
an advantage to this country. Ger
tainly distress would have been wider
spread had the unemployed thousands
remained here. Their sending saw
ings back to Italy, where the govern
.ment safeguard their none in postal
savings banks, he regards as justifi-
able inasmuch as this government
offers no similar institution.
1t is the spirit of Washington and
Lincoln, the true American spirit in
it's finest manifestation, in which DR..
Steiner believes. He has faith that
this spirit can take the crswding allen
host and breathe into it the life Of q
nobler manhood and womanhood;
that the immigrant will become in the
next generation, If not in this what
soeyer America wills that he may be-
come.

Not Literary.

THE late Frederick Burton was the
worlds foremost authority on the
American Indian" said a Yale ethnol-
ogist. Burton was almost alone in
his field. There are. you know, SO few
students of Indian lore. He said to me
once, with a vexed laugh, that he
found 1t quite as impossible to discuss
the Indian with people as a Boston
critic found 1t to discuss poetry with
the girl he took down to dinner. The
girl was very pretty. Leaning her
dimpled elbows on the table, she said
to the critic:
"'And what is your lecture to be
about, professor?

piled.
