CURE

MUCH VALUE ATTACHED TO
RosENBEReER's SENSATION
AL DISCOVERY.
WORK OF SCIENTIST OF JEFFER
SON MEDICAL COLLEGE MAY
SOLVE PROBLEM.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Dr w A. Evans.
commissioner of health, is inclined to
place much value on the report COM
ing from the Jefferson Medical col
lege, Philadelphia, to the effect that
the tuberculosis bacillus has been dis
covered in the blood, where it can be
treated with an antitoxin so as to
render the human body immune TO
the disease.
The basis of the belief which DR..
Evans, who is himself an authority on
tuberculosis, is ready to give the
statement is the high standing of the
institution from which the report ema-
mates and the confidence he reposes
in the judgment of DR.. Randle C.
Rosenberger, the bacteriologist who
is credited with this important dis
covery.
when the report is fully made pub
lie" said DR.. Evans, Il think it can
be greatly depended upon as being
true. There is no question in my
mind that the discovery of a serum
with which effectively to vaccinate
against tuberculosis must come be-
fore long. And it seems likely that
these investigators have taken a great
step forward. At all events they
have been working along the right
lines. The object of the latest scien-
tific investigation has been to dis
cover the bacillus early. so as to vac.
cinate against it and prevent its fur
Their development. If, as the report
states, the bacillus has been found at
its very birth, in the blood, success
seems to have been attained.
Treatment along the same lines as
those indicated in the report has been
carried on here in Chicago for some
time, and DR. Trudeau, the pioneer
specialist in that field, has been using
a tuberculosis vaccine with consider.
able success at Saranac, N Y, for
twenty years. 1t is inevitable that
these methods should be improved
upon. and it seems probable that this
has been done by the investigators at

Il prefer 70 wait until can read an
exposition of the new discoveries in a

The present conception of tuberculo-

the military stage of the disease.
Therefore, these discoveries, if based

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY

Washington. Jan S.--After having
made him target all day for criti-
cism with here and there words of
commentator the house re buked the
president by tabling so much of his
message as reflected on the members
of congress in connection with his
recommendation regarding secret
service detectives, and also declaring
1t to be the sense of the house that 1t
shall decline to consider any commu-
nication from any source which is
not In its own Judgment respectful.
With feelings of outraged dignity and
pride on the part of many of its mem
bers, the house gave itself up entirely
to the discussion of one of the most
momentous questions that ever come
before Tits functions as a legisla-
tive body-in contradiction to those
of the executive branch of the GOV
eminent The report of the special
committee appointed to deal with the
language in the presidents annual
message and in his special message
of last Monday bearing on the secret
service affecting members of congress
was submitted and it was used as the
basis for some OF the most earnest
and vigorous speeches ever heard in
the historic chamber. The house was
in no mood to treat the subject other
wise than seriously. although in the
remarks made. reference to the presi.
dent, almost invariably, we're couched
in parliamentary language. Nor was
the president without his supporters.
No member of the presidents family
was present Neither was his son-in-
law, Representative Longworth of
Ohio in his seat during any part OF
of the day. So great was the inter
est ia the proceedings that many
senators came over to the house and
sat for several hours. The resolu.
lions adopted are to this effect:
Resolved. that the house in the ex-
ercise Of its constitutional perogatives
declines TO consider any communica-
tion from any source which Is not
in its own judgment respectful: and,
be It further, resolved. that the spe-
cial committee and the COMMITTEES of
the whole house on the state of the
union he discha, ged from any consid.
GRAFTON of so much OF the presidents
annual message as relates TO the Sc
cret serrsce and is above set forth.
and That the said portion Of the mes
sage be laid on the table: and, be It'll

The captain was working himself up

can be turned into the city mains
from the reservoirs above Kenley's
gardens. 1t was planned to turn the
water in on the twentieth of this
month, but the disastrous wash-in
near Gorge station of couple of
weeks ago delayed matters beyond
the time originally set for the inaug-
uration of the new system. Mr.. Cor
don found that five sections of the
steel pipe near the intake had been
washed out by the floods, but says
that others can be put in to take their
places without much trouble as soon
as the water in the river falls to its
normal stage. The greatest difficulty
experienced by the contractors in I'm
ishing their work, according to Mr..
Gordon, will be in procuring the ma
terial to do the job. In view Of the
fact that something like ten thousand
loads of sand has yet to be hauled up
to the settling basins it is not prob
able that clear water will be had
from the new water system much. If
any, before Christmas.

AN INTERESTING At
TRACTION At The Com.
ING COUNTY FAIR

Aviators and all others interested
in the knotty problems of flying thru
air may gain some valuable pointers
which will help in the solution of this
as yet practically unknown art by an
attendance at the county fair unless
we miss our one best guess.
Among the list of attractions is that
ever-new and interesting pastime
which is one of the connecting links
between the old and new West
bronco busting. The committee on
sports has secured the country in its
endeavor to secure broncos that are
likely to furnish most amusement to
the spectators. A few Of those already
entered are Straight Edge, Air Ship.
Cry Baby, Cactus Lou and many 9TH
ers guaranteed to break all existing
records of air travelling. The riders
who will participate in this fun are
among the most daring in the West
today. To add interest to this attrac-
ton the committee write that they
have secured hve Of the widest out
law horses in the state. who will be
saddled and bridled for the first time
when they are entered in the Wild
horse race at the fair. 90.
