DR.. r. l.. Patton. of New Orleans. La.
who was seen at the Arlington. and who
has made appendicitis A special study,
said Yesterday that when enc studies the
appendicitis statistics one may well be
excused for a feeling Of alarm at the
manner in which the trouble seems to
be growing. "One gratifying thing about
the trouble is" sad he, that while it
may be increasing. the deaths it causes
appear to he growing fewer.
appendicitis has been called the rich
mans scourge, but it is not among
the well-to-do merely that the disease
is increasing-among the middle classes
ani even among the poor it is also be-
coming more prevalent.
And this is not II ereIy because it is
more easily recognized now than it used
to he. 1t is difficult. however. to assign
any special reason for the increase.
There is always some new theory about
it. At one time cases were attributed
to the use of cnameled SaUcepanS. Then
the use of pTcscrvativcs. like bOriC acid.
in food was given As a cause. No doubt
bad teeth, a in many other diseases.
are CCntribUtOry cause. Tn" pip theory
is all nonsense. There are some persons
who would have appendicitis if they
lived on only milk diet.
The reason, in my opinion. why many
young men get it is that in their rush
for business. instead of taking time to
get good meal they cat lot Of pre-
served and frozen stuff. which finds in
the intcstines an ideal medium for con-
veyinS harmful germs. though why it
should wait until it reaches the appCn-
dix before going wrong is still
mystery"

From the Atlantic Magazine.
An ambassador to Russia, formerly a

covered certain secret processes regard
ing a special kind of leather manufac-

on with. suspicion had it been suspected

run over the western or even eastern

be made Is near the Sussex gravel

the free use of the gravel from the
county pit for the construction of the

that the route will be selected nearby
in order that the transit will not be

DOVER. Del, May SO.-The month
of June. providing It is ushered in by
a rain, will .come at a time when the
Delaware peninsula is giving the ag-
gressive, versatile farmers much to
be thankful for.
Marion Dawson. grange organizer.
finds I'm a recent ride through the
central part Of Delaware, that where
some crops are falling off others
seem to be making a showing and
with frequent showers this week, the
railoads and steamboats, will be kept
loaded I'm carrying away the Delaware
grains. fruits and vegetables.
At FELTON,, John Heyd will have a
peach crop. for which he not only
feels righteously proud but very
thankful. Mr.. Heyd is one Of the
studious, cooperating fruit growers
Of the peninsula, always willing to
aid in the cause OF horticulture and
his fellow growers seem delighted
that he has been able to, so far rs
he is concerned. vindicate Delaware
on the peach question.
r. NJ. Richardson reports that he
has good prospects for a crop OF ap-
pies, with the possible exception Of
one variety.
George Herring, a we'll known Kent
countian. had developed into a sue
cessful grower. Mr.. Herring has a
large showing Of apples and, although
his trees are not heavily loaded, he
is certain of a big lot OF apples to
ship. He is arranging for a large
crop of sweet potatoes and cante-
| loupes.
At Robert Fredel's. Mr.. Dawson saw
the largest flocks Of young chickens
Of the White Leghorn breed that he
has viewed in all his travels and he
believes that this farm and that Of
Mrs. Charles Marvil contain the
largest flocks Of these spring birds
in the country.

than most growers of that fine vege-
table.
The hay outlook Is very discourag-
ing The spring crop is almost a
failure because of the dry weather
and seed sown for next years crop
will not come up.
Wheat is giving promise Of much
vigor and hardness I'm the face Of
the drouth. Prospects are that the
crop will be fully a fair Delaware
crop.
Corn is looking, generally, as we'll
as ever at this season Of the year.
Even II the small fruits and the
fruit crop In general should fall off
a little" said Mr.. Dawson yesterday
