New Blow at the White Plaque

Since Koch of Germany discovered the tubercle bacillus, or germ, it is extremely doubtful whether there has been a successful research of greater moment to the fighting sci enlist and the public at large than that just announced in Philadelphia
 This discovery is the proving in many cases--not four or six, but fifty or sixty-the presence of the tubercu- losis germ in the blood of a human being and in establishing beyond all doubt that human blood acts as a conveyor of the consumption germ from one organism of the body to another.
 All of the tests and the final dem onstration of what had been largely a theory are the work of Dr. Randle C. Rosenberger, bacteriologist of the Philadelphia General Hospital, and also bacteriologist of the Jefferson Medical College, either of which po- sitions is mark of distinction in Philadelphia.
 The problem that has long been puzzling scientists in this particular

field has been the moc.e of transmits
 sion of the organism, say, fron the lungs to the intestines, from the lungs to other internal organs. or vice yer sa. Naturally, the blood has been considered the possible carrier, but no one to the present time has been able to demonstrate the organisms in the blood by simple methods. It
 has been taught and believed for years, that tuberculosis was not her editary, but that the person so af-
 fected was first so lowered in body resistance, fr9m various causes, that he was fit subject for the disease, and in this condition acquired it from
 some outside source, suc:l as the

 KANSAS CITY VSlTORS-E. O. Moffatt and his son, Donald Moffatt, are recent arrivals in the city. Their home is in Kansas City, where MT Moffatt is recognized as one of the largest grain buyers in the Kansas and Missouri grain growing sections. They were planning a California tour when they were induced by Profes- sor Colder, formerly of the Tempe normal to take in the Salt River val ley in the course of their trip. They went to California first and are now on the way home, though it is quite likely Donald Moffatt will remain here for time, perhaps permanently. His father intended to leave for home last night but became so interested in sight seeing that he will remain a few days longer He is not only pleased but astonished at the fine appearance of this section and its promises of continuing prosperity. Prof Colder, by the way, is now pro lessor of history in the University of Missouri.
 BOARD OF TRADE INVITED The board of trade has received q printed invitation from the Yuma Commercial club. to be present at the festivities in that city on March 30 and 3l for the celebration of the completion of the Laguna dam. It should be remembered, however. that while the dam is to be completed by the first of April, it does not mean the completion of the Colorado pro- ject There is yet considerable canal to .e G.:S above Yuma which really .'an not te definitely planned until after 'he dam has stood a test of high water to see what the structure will do to the currents of the river and determine where the ditches should be and where levees will have to be built Also the Yuma valley, below the city. cannot have the benefit of the irrigation until after the building of the siphon under the river below the city. The water will be brought down on the California side, then brought through the cement siphon to this side of the river, emerging on the rich acres below Yuma. This work alone is a big feature of the project and will require many months yet.

sputum of another person, through milk or food, and even other means of contact with germ infected articles or persons.
 The finding of the germ in the blood of these cases, and many more probably to be found in the future, has, strengthened out many perpleXing problems. It is the missing link, as it were, in the chain cycle of the disease and the one thing which will, without doubt, give scientists a defi- nite basis or groundwork upon which they can base their future efforts to stamp out a disease which, in some form, attacks about 50 per cent of the population of the United States.

There is reason to believe that John

that Johnson stood very small chance
