said one physician THE discovery Of
the anti-meningitis serum gives definite
promise Of cutting down the mortality Of
the disease from about 80 to Is per cent.
"Cerebro-spinal meningitis is due to the
activities Of a little organism called the
dipococcus intracellularis, which attacks
the nerve roots and membranes OF the
spinal cord and brain. The epidemic form
OF the disease was first recognized only
about 100 years ago in Geneva, Switzerland
The first outbreak in this country took
place in Massachusetts, in 1902. The dis
ease visited ireland twice in the middle Of
the last century very fatally indeed A
pitiable aspect of the disease is that It
attacks those who are respondent and those
who don't have food enough. Squalid tene-
ment jewellers and soldiers in crowded and
ill-kept barracks are especially a prey

When the mlcrobe once takes hold, the
substances OF the spinal cord and brain

hours. Before the discovery OF the serum,
about all that could be done TO fight the
disease was to employ purging and leech-

A NEW LIFESAVING AGENT
Anti-MeninEitIs serum Cuts Down
Mortality More Than One
Third.

The experiments which the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research, New York
city has been making with anti-meningitis
serum have been so successful that the
management Of the institute issued a state
ment to the effect that the curative eff
cheney OF the serum might now be re-
garGed as scientifically established and
that the serum might now take It's place
with vaccine and diphtheria anti-toxin as
az approved agency for the protection Of
public health"
The institute has been manufacturing
and distributing the serum free for more
than a year TO hospitals and physicians
all over the country. The institute merely
stipulated that the hospital or physician
taking the serum should report as to its
effectiveness.
According TO the reports sent in the
serum has cut down the mortality from
cerebro-spinaI meningitis TO less than one
third OF what It was before the serum came
TO be known and used.
Having thus established the scientific
reliability of the serum. the institute Is
now going to cease manufacturing and
distributing il, and will apply the funds
which have been used IN this way in the
last few years along other experimental
lines. The anti-meningitis serum, like vac
cine or diphtheria antitoXin, in future will
be manufactured by the city board OF
health. Physicians and hospitals desiring

board. as they do now for diphtheria anti

NEW BLOOD IN CONGRESS
DiminishinR Ranks of the Old Guard
in Service Twenty Years
or More.

II is the opinion Of a prominent member
Of congress from New England long in
service at Washington that the country has
seen the last OF men in congress Of a serv-
ice OF thirty years and more and probably
also, at least for some time, Of men who
have served in congress twenty years. The
trend. in his judgment, is against long serv-
ice. Elections are now considerably at
fected by means of direct primaries, and
people seem tickle, and the best Of men in
congress are consequently apt TO be toppled
over by some newcomer who chances to
charm the majority OF the voters.
As it is men In congress who have a
record Of twenty years or more are few in
number And not a few OF these are re-
firing, in some cases driven out Of public
life by popular camor.
Senator Hale OF Maine is completing his
thirtieth year In the senate. Previously he
served six years in the house Of representa-
lives. In the public life OF Washington he
will, on March 4, have been thirty six years.
Senator Frye Of Maine will also this year
complete thirty years Of service in the
senate.
Senator Aldrlch will retire from the sen
ate In his thirtieth year. He was addition
ally two years IN the house or representa-
uves. Senator Cullom is completing his
twenty eighth year in the senate, but he
can point 20 a service In congress farther
back than any other member, having been
a member OF the house in 1861.

this year complete twenty years OF service
in the senate but he had already, wher
chosen senator In 1891, served four years

Hayward.-John f. Dietz was pro-
nounced guilty of the murder of Dep
uty Oscar Harp during the siege of
Cameron dam on Oct. 8, 1910, by
the jury, after that body had been
out sixteen hours. Mrs. Dietz and
Leslie, charged jointly, were ac-
quilted
The old smile with which the old
man had always faced the things
that have happened to him, did not
desert him. He smiled as the Judge
read the verdict handed up by the
foreman of the jury. He made no
demonstration.
His name was the first read. AS
the words came out, a frown came
over the face of Mrs. Dietz, and she
glared at the jury.
Leslie took the staggering news
with sickly grin, and waves of color
swept across his face.
Judge Reid interrupted Dietz in
the midst of his argument and the
latter took his seat.
Mrs. Dietz had dropped on her
husbands shoulder and her right
arm slipped about his neck. Tears
streamed down her cheeks.
When the verdict was announced.
John Dietz arose calmly and asked
for a new trial on the ground that
much of the material evidence had
been ruled out and also on the
ground of errors of law. Judge Reid
denied the motion.
Judge Reid called upon Die, to
rise and said:
ut is the judgment of the court
and your sentence is that you, John
Dietz, be punished by Imprisonment
for life at the state penitentiary at
Waupun and that one day each year,
namely, Oct. s, you shall be kept in
solitary confinement"
John Dietz' teeth were closed like
a vice and his jaws were set, but a
sinister grin slowly crept over his
iron mask, but quickly disappeared
when he reiterated:

The jury spent almost the entire
night in argument with no apparent
intention of reporting for some time.
Many times the heated arguments
all but penetrated through the walls
of the jury rooms in the back of the
Giblin hotel and gave evidence Of
the conflict which was raging within
the dingy back room in favor of and
against the conviction of the Wis
consin backwoodsman and that of
his wife and son.
Twice the jury called for Judge
Reid for further instructions and
for exhibits which had not been taken
TO the jury room.
