ESPECIAL Dispatch 10 The Call


PHILADELPHIA, JAN 2S.-Although
long suspected that the human blood
conveys the tuberculosis germ from
one organism of the body to another, it
was never definitely proved until DR..
r. C. Rosenberger, bacteriologist at the
Jefferson medical college, and at the
Philadelphia hospital. demonstrated it
in a series of Investigations.
Prevented by the ethics of scientific
caliings from announcing the details of
his Investigations, this barrier is now
removed with the publication today of
the American Journal of Medical Sci
ences, which carries DR.. Rosenberger's
own description of his work.
Microscope Shows Germs
An unusual feature is the freedom
of the technical terms which tend to
confuse the lay mind. Any physician.
1t would seem. possessing micro
scope. and the requisite chemical
stains required in locating the tuber-
culosis germ, can arrive at the same,
conclusions as DR.. Rosenberger him
self.
A patient suspected of having tuber-
cuIosis germs in his blood had tour
niquet bound about his arm to bring
the veins into prominence. From any
vein of sufficient size at the elbow
blood is drawn with hypodernic
syringe. after the skin at the spot se-
lected is first sterilized TO insure the
removal of every possible means ef in.
feetion or contamination from the skim
itself.
No Suffering Involved
About two teaspoonfuls of blood are
drawn and the needle prick dressed
and bandaged, there being no resultant
pain or trouble beyond a slight itching
for few moments.
The blood withdrawn is Immediately
mixed with salt solution to prevent
clotting and the tube containing it
placed on ice There also is introduced
2 per cent of citrate of soda.
Germs Show on Glass
After "a hours the blood has settled
in the vial and is withdrawn Being
spread on glass slides, this blood is
dried on small strip of metal held in
place above a small, even gas flame.
Thoroughly dry, it is almost inde-
structible. The slides next are i'm
mersed in distilled water, the red cor
puscles being removed by this means
Tho Slide is again dried ana naxt
stained
Immersed in carbol fuchsine, red
stain, for five minutes. the entire slide
is stained red; immersed again five
minutes in what is known as Pachen-
helms solution the entire slide is
stained blue with the exception of the
tuberculosis germ itself. which re-
mains red on blue field, as easily
shown by the microscope.

A New One ON Corners.
From Harper's Weekly.

FROM Harper weekly.
Fingy Corners is an irrepressible
soul. Tact and he have nothing in
common. A few evenings ago he met
Charles Bissell in a crowded hotel and
bounced upon him with reckless ~jovial-
ity.
"Hello-o-o, Charley" he cried. "How
the deuce are you, Ell? How's Herb?
How's--'
Mr.. Bissell was worried. He pinned
for decorum. At his side was Justice
Brewer. of the United States supreme
court at Washington, reserved, silent,
dignified. Mr.. Bissell was inspired to
use his majestic personality as "A
quench of Ffngy's exuberance.
Mr.. Conners," he said, "let me in
troduce you to Justice Brewer"
"How's the health?" asked Fingy,
giving the hand OF the judge a per-
f%unctory shake. Then, stepping back
so as to afford more range to his glance
OF disapproval, he looked at Justice
Brewer very coldly, and turning to Mr..
Bissell said:
Say, Charley, / thought / was onto
all the sNeSple o put on the bench, but
/ gueSs In in wrong somewhere. What
d~ you make him judge Off"

Read the Label.

Under the Pure Food Laws baking
powder labels now show the ingredients
of which the powder is made.
Those who appreciate the Importance
to health and good baking OF using a
pure cream OF tartar powder will read
the back of the label carefully and
make sure hat the ingredients men
toned include cream OF tartar.
The food law does not force con-
sumers, II merely helps them 10 protect
themselves. All good housekeepers
want cream OF tartar baking powders,
and Will not use alum substitutes in
h food, If they know IT. AS the in
gradients are printed on the back OF
the label, all may know the facts.
Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things in the kitchen; it
is easily obtained at any store; the
better IL is, the more economical it is
in cooking materials, and the more il
conServes the health of the family.

Warted--A Vision.

From ar Interview with Israel Zangwill
in the New York Times.
You have" said Mr.. Zangwill, "the
most interesting country in the world.
Its present situation and its future OPP
portunities are absolutely fascinating.
Never before was a territory so vast,
q virgin territory, committed into the
hands Of the people, democracy. You
have a a n to do in America any
thing in the world that has ever been
imagined or that remains TO be mag
ined. You have a chance TO amaze
history and to dumbfound the future
itself.
What you need is a national as
piration. Do you think you have one?
If you have, l cannot discern il. You
are engaged with the idea of material
grandeur. You think Of riches. You pile
wealth, you increase possessions, you
multiply luxury. 1t is not worth while.
All true glory, and all continued, as
sured national existence even, depends
upon the existence of a spiritual am
bition. No people can hold together,
certainly NJ people can hold a great
place in the world, unless it be by some
ideal. Where there is 10 vision, the
people perish
THE vision will come TO you. The
ambition will possess you, | do not
doubt. What it will be, l cannot
guess-but something very splendid,
am sure, perhaps even now ~conceiving
in the passion of events. If / allow
myself TO think OF IL at all, ii comes
to me that perhaps II you but allow
your zeal for material expansion to be-
come more interpretive; If you would
cease to take pride in extending
abroad the fame Of your riches and
come to lake pride in the fact that
every man and woman and child at
home not OnlY knows OF. but D~artici-
pates in, your wealth and comfort and
good living, then you would have
achieved an ideal worthy Of your ex-
~istence."

London as a fishing village was pic
tured by Sir William Ramsay at the
annual meeting of the British Science
guild. He was dealing with the ques-
ton OF the national coal supply, which
he said it was estimated would be eX-
hausted in from 500 to 500 years. Are
we going to pay attention TO afforesta-
ton, so hat when coal is gone we
shall have wood?" he said. 1T is hor-
rible to look forward to a fishing viii
lage OF London built on top of some
magnificent ruins. and with a popula-
ton of 5000 or 5000 supported by the
pursuit of agriculture"

When Charles Dudley Warner was
