VICTORY OVER DISEASE.
Or. FIexner Announces New Serum fc

Or. FIexner Announces New Serum for
Cure of Cerebro-SpinaI Meningitis.
New York.-One of the foremost OF
American surgeons, who sailed for
Europe, apparently upon a somewhat
hurried call, was anxious, for i'm
portant professional reasons, that
there be no announcement of his de.
parture. He expects to return in the
mid-spring, and may, at the annual
meeting of the American Medical as
sociation, or that department Of it
which deals chiefly with surgery,
make some rather important an
nouncements. This meeting is to be
held in st. Louis in the early summer.
This surgeon was especially pleased
that he would be able to report to his
friends in Europe that the demonstra,
ton Of the success of the preventive
and curative treatment of cerebro-
spinal meningitis, discovered and per.
fected by DR.. Simon Flexner, at the
Rockefeller institute, is now COM
plete.
1t was made by DR.. Flexner himself
before a large gathering Of men OF
science and Of medicine two or three
evenings ago. Heretofore no more
has been claimed for DR.. Flexner's
discovery than that in all probability
it would be found as available for use
In meningitis as is the diphtheria
serum for the cure of that once dread
ed disease.

MAY AVERT A
TARIFF WAR
AFTER LONG CONFERENCE WITH
CANADIAN MINISTER PREsl-
DENT TAFT is HOPEFUL.
NEW LAW SOON TO BE IN EFFECT
Up to This Time Canada Has Been Re-
garded as "UnduIy Discriminatory"
Against the United States in the
Matter of Tariff Rates.

Albany, N. Y.-Although President
Taft and w. F. Fielding, the Canadian
minister of finance, failed to reach
either an agreement or disagreement
In the tariff conference, which lasted
the entire day, the president seemed
hopeful that the tariff war may be
averted.
Eleven days remain for friendly ne
gotiations" before the maximum rates
of the Paine-Aldrich tariff law auto
matically go into effect against those
countries which are regarded by the
president as "unduly Discrimination"
against the United States.
The law is arbitrary as to its appli-
cation, but the president is given ju-
dicial powers in reaching conclusion
as to what constitutes undue" dis
elimination.
Up to this time Canada has been
regarded by the presidents tariff ad-
visers as "unduly discriminatory" and
unless concessions are granted by the
Dominion government to place the
United States on an equal footing
with France and 13 other countries
which have been given preferential
rates, under the Canadian tariff, it
seems inevitable that Canada will be
the one important country in the
world against which the 20 per cent
increase of the maximum American
rates will be applied.

Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
1t is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne,
LID, FRS. of London spend the
best part of their lives in studying
the great question Of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities Of differ
ent foods, it is certain that their ad-
vice is absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur-
ance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
Sir James Crichton Browne says
eat more oatmeal, eat plenty Of it and
eat it frequently. So

Fighting Disease In Greece.

Consul General George Horton has
made a report from Athens on the
conspicuous work of Greek physicians
in combating the country's chief
courges-malaria fever and tubercu-
losis. An annual average of 1000
persons die each year from the for
mer, while in epidemic years, due to
excessive rains, the number exceeds
5000, which was the case in 1905. The
population of Greece is 2,433,S ,S06. The
people have been interested through
lectures, pamphlets, ETC., to fight the
Misunderstanding mosquito by draining
stagnant ponds and throwing petro-
leum on them. A tuberculosis con-
gress will be held at Athens next
year, to which will be invited not
only physicians, but all the mayors
and other prominent people of Greece

TAFT NOT AFRAID OF PEOPLE
President Declares He Is Against
Railroads Only When They
Violate tho Law.

Chicago.-In a speech before the
Chicago Traffic club during the St
Patrick's Days celebration in this city
Thursday, President Taft devoted
portion of his remarks to the rail-
roads and the law.
1t was in acknowledgement of his
election as an honorary member Of
the club and in the course of his ad.
dress the chief executive said:
"I am against railroads only when
they violate the law. But every man
must have his day in court. I would
be a coward If did not consider
every interest affected before passing
upon legislation. am not afraid Of
the people of the United States. They
are fair when you can get the facts
before them. But sometimes 1t is
difficult to do this.
1T seems to be in the minds of
some gentlemen in responsibility that
the people who are to be con.
suited are not those directly affected.
That If In the recommendation of leg.
islation affecting railroads, you ven-
ture to consult railroad men that it is
enough to condemn all the legislation
which you recommend.
Time was in this country when 1t
was most difficult for any railroad
man to conduct his business within
the law. l worked to bring it about
so that he may conduct his business
within the law, and so that the law
shall be fair, but so that he shall be
made to feel the penalty of the law
when he steps outside of it.
II believe there is a course, and
| believe there is legislation that we
may have that can bring that about,
and hope that may be always able,
no matter what the result to me, to do
justice between the great interests of
this countryside people, the shippers
and the railroads; that business may
go on, that we shall all be within the
law and that every man shall see that
it is to his ultimate advantage to up
hold that law and preserve it and
make it inviolate."

Insurgents Force the Fighting.
The insurgents agreed by unanimous
vote to support the Norris resolution
after amending 1t by striking out the
geographical features and reducing the
number Of the proposed rules COM
mittee from Is to 10.
In his ruling Speaker Cannon sus-
tanned the point of order against the
Norris resolution, holding the resolu-

Representative Norris appealed
from the speakers ruling. Mr. Dal-

table. The roll then was called

side of the house greeted Speaker
Cannon as he mounted the rostrum.
1t was said then Mr. Cannon was de-

Soon afterward Representative

member from Illinois, declared he was
for the deposing Of Cannon as speaker
of the house.

A number of the most radical mem

concerned about what might happen
to the speaker. The Democrats, of
course, were interested only in inflict-
ing as much damage to the majority
as possible.
1t was admitted on all sides, boast
fully by the insurgents, but quietly
by the regulars, that the fight on the
revision of the rules had been won,
and that the present rules committee
would be overturned and new COM
mittee selected by the house.
This was assured by the unbroken
front presented by the Democratic mi
nority and by the solid vote of the
insurgents on any question affecting
the rules, and made more certain by
the considerable detection which was
occurring within the ranks of the reg
| ular Republicans.
Numerous members who had stood
with the leaders of the majority open
ly told the latter they could not follow
