OVERPOLISHED RICE is
CAUSE OF BERIBERI
Experiments With Fowls Show
Diseases Origin

few months ago Consul General
James T. du Bois of Singapore reported
briefly about Investigations that were
being made in the Malay states con-
cerning the cause of beriberi and that
the experts, especially Doctor Fraser,
director of the Institute. of Medical
Research, had decided that it came from
white rice, that is, overpolished rice.
1t has been proved that the proper
tion of cases is one to 80 where the
rice is eaten in an overpolished condi-
ton, and one to 10. 900 where it is eaten
with its pericarp. In some cases the dis
ease disappeared where unshelled rice
was substituted for shelled rice. For
a long time it has been the consensus
of opinion that rice caused bertbert,
but how the result was produced re-
mained a mystery. Some believed that
it was caused by diseased rice; others
claimed that 1t came from certain
poison in the grain. Early this year
Doctors Fraser and Stanton COM
menced experimenting on white rice
fed to fowls. When fed on shelled
or white rice they were stricken
with a form of polyneuritis, something g
akin to beriberi Twelve fowls fed on
unshelled- rice remained healthy. but
of the IL fed on white rice. suffered
from polyneuritis; on IL fed on the
polishings of white rice. all remained
nealtny, ana OF IL leu on tile peuuS
husked in the primitive Malay method
by a native woman, all remained
healthy. Parboiled rice did not pro-
duce the disease, but when extracted
with alcohol and dried in the sun IL
produced polyneuritis.
BY a careful analysis it was found
that phosphorus pentoxide was great
ly deficient in white rice. After a
series of Investigations Doctor Fraser
announced that beriberi may be pre-
vented by substituting for white. or
overpolished rice, rice that has been
polished lightly or by using the polish
ings from white rice with the polished
product. This discovery has created
profound interest throughout Malaysia
and many experiments are being tried
in all parts of the far East where beri-
beri. has grievously afflicted the na-
tiyes for many wears.

Oscar Vi cack third bosenan the San Francisco BAL team
Seals Kid Third Sacker Most Promising
Youngster Developed Lately

Tis many year since the Pacific
coast league has developed a more
promising young ball player than Os-
car Wit, third baseman of the San
Francisco club. He has helped make
diamond history although he has been
in fast company only seven months.
He's so very good that they won't even
leave him here, for the Cincinnati club
of the National league has drafted the
youngster for next season.
Witt is not old enough to vote as
yet He has only just turned his
twentieth birthday, yet he has had a
whole lot of experience on the dia-
mond. All the fans will agree that
this youngster has forgotten more
baseball than many of his elders ever
learned. 1t came natural to him. It
was born and bred in him. No man
ager or captain or associate on the
team ever had to tell Witt what to do.
His natural knowledge of the game
has been apparent ever since he started
out.
Witt gained his first good baseball
experience on the Wilmerding high
school nine four years ago. Like many
another player who has made good in
other positions on the diamond, Witt
started out as pitcher. And he was
some pitcher, too, the classiest high
school slabster ever turned out in San
Francisco, say all his classmates They
can not figure why he did not stick to
pitching instead of trying an infield
berth.
While still high school player Witt
began pushing" or playing with semi
professional clubs throughout the state
His first real try with one of these
clubs was in Napa three years ago.

BREECH LOADING GUNS
VERY OLD IN ORIGIN
One Found in Armada Wreck
Bearing 1868 Date

Breech loading guns are usually sup
posed to be nineteenth century inven-
ton. There is. however, on exhibition
in the shop of Dublin gunsmith a
breech loading rife which was offered
to the British war Office at the close
of the eighteenth century. 1t was re-
jected on the ground that it took too
much ammunition.
That the breech loader is older still.
and that there is little new under the
sun, was proved some years ago at To-
bermcry bay, Null. during search for
relics of the Admiral of Florence, one
of the vessels of the Spanish armada
known to have been blown up in 1888
in that far away water.
With the aid of an old chart a diver
went down into IL fathoms, and came
across a bronze breech loading cannon,
four ard a half feet long. eight inches
In diameter at the breech, and bearing
the date of 1868. The diver also discov-
cred a pistol, heavily incrusted with
lime, a sword blade and kedge.

pected to bitch for the Cubs tomorrow
and Cole Friday The possibility Of a
straight three days schedule for Chi

ayers 10 change their plans.
There was no tendency on the part
OF the Chicago players TO excuse their
two defeats. The men accepted them.
and now, without seeking to accouRt
for the past are devising means of
turning defeat into victory by two
straight victories here
Somewhere between Philadelphia and
their hotel in this city the Americans
bats were lost. They failed to reach
the hotel with the other luggage of the
men and report spread that the sticks
had been left in Philadelphia
force Of searchers was sent out, but
an hour later il was whispered that the
bats had been delivered to the ball
park They We're locked UP in the
park and confidence returned to the
Philadelphians.
Reulbach declared tonight he was
ready for the game tomorrow. He said
that, having seen the Philadelphia team
m action, he is confident of breaking
up their winning streak. Reulbach had
not pitched for a number of days and
now is said to be Chances choice. As
sertions that many seats for the games
here had been disposed of to scalpers
were made at the hotels tonight, seats
bringing as high ASSES and $50.
