All Cleared Up

A GAIN. in the use Of vaccincS the opsonlc
index is OF vast value. Long experience
showed that a vaccine. when II was injected
into a patients veins, produced at the start
not immunity. but greater liability to dis
ease. Thus DR.. Wright noted that when
efforts were made to cure boilS by inoculat-
ing patients with attenuated Staphylococci,
the first result was to increase the number
Of boilS. This puzzling manifestation he
called the negative phase, and as rule It
was followed by a positive phase. during
which the boils began to disappear. But
there was nothing certain about it, and
physicians were much puzzled.
The opSonic theory clears 1t all up. When,
in an effort to stimulate his opSonlnS to ac-
tivitv, a horde OF half dead bacilli are intro
duced into mans veins they give his op-
soninS and leucocyteS hard tuSSle even
though they have no hope of winning. and
50 his opSonic index drops to far below
normal. Then, as his white corpuSclcS are
stimulated and begin to work in earnest, it
rises to normal, and in the end goes higher
than normal. 1t is then that the vaccine is
beginning TO do its work of immuniZation.
Now it is obvious that by studying a man ;
opSonic indices it is possible 50 to arrange
the dose OF vaccine that the negative phase
is very short. and 50 to gage and time sub
ScQuent doses that the opSonc index. after
il has once got above normal. will never fall
lower again. This possibility Is OF enor-
nous Importance, because it makes the use
of VaCcineS exact and scientific, instead OF
haphazard and inaccurate, as in the past.
When Koch perfected his tuberculin. as
we have seen, experience showed that il often
made patients worse instead of better, and
SO it was denounced as fraud In the
light of DR.. WrightS researches this is now
known to have been due to the fact that
Koch and his disciples used excessive doses.
which produced such violent negative phases
that the secondary positive phase never APP
pcarcd. Soon believe. it will be possible
to conduct the whole operation with exact
ness: to employ just the right amount OF
tubcrculin, and TO observe its effects from
hour to hour. Indeed. Dr. Trudcau and
others are even now engaged IN pcriecting
the process.

How Diseases Are Combated

WHAr is true Of tuberculosis is true Of
all other diseases caused by specific
organisms. Today We combat them in one
OF three ways: we try to Kill the germs We
try To ncutrallzc their poiSonS; or We try to
steel the body against the effects Of one or
both. In the past We have had to depend
upon general appearances - determine the
measure OF success. Thus. if man had a
certain disease and we made IN effort to kill
lis germs, and he got well, we concluded that
the means we employed were successful. As
a matter OF fact, our germ killing device
may have been failure. and the man NAV
have got well through his own efforts. and
without It's and, or even in spite of its pos
Sblc damage.
The opSonlc method will clear away this
hazlncSS. II will enable us To determine with
some accuracy whether given remedy has
any effects upon given germ. and 20 deter
mine the precise nature of this effect II
Will enable us To discover exactly what ac.
ton this remedy has upon normal and dis.
cascd white blood corpuSclcS. Il will enable
us To determine how large a dose is Indicated
under given conditions. II will enable us 10
avoid treatment that while seeming 10 bcne-
TIT, really causes damage. II will enable us
OF immunity, and 10 find out whether this
immunity is increasing or decreasing. And
SO 1t will show us when 10 aid his leurocv,,s
III their Tight. and when To avoid the risk of
handicapping them. In a word. il will give
us a method of approaching an infectious
disease with some approach 10 the certainty
we now exhibit IN approaching a surgical
operation.
In the preparation of antigerm serum and
poiSoi'-heutralizing antltoXln, the opSonic
method VIII be extremely valuable. Al
present when We seek 10 prepare a serum 10

chance to rectify matters. Next time his op-
sonic index is above normal again. Next
time, perhaps, it is up to LAP. And If 1t
stays there for couple Of months the pa
tent is safely on the road 70 recovery. His
body has immunized itself against tuber-
culosis, and if he is careful to keep in good
condition the disease will never more bother
him.

MAY DISSOLVE
 THE STEEL TRUST
BIG CORPORATION MAKING EFF FORT TO MEET DEMANDS
 OF COVE RNMENT.
Probable Work of Reorganizlng the Greatest Combination in the
 World Is Gigantic.

New York. Sept. 21-It was re- ported today on excellent authority that the matter of dlssoving and re- organizing the United States Steel Icorporation is receiving the earnest Iattention of the department of jus tice and legal representatives of so called billion dollar trust"
 There is ground also for the as sertion that the steel corporation IS making strenuouh effort to meet the demands of the government, but by reason of the complexity of the sit uation little headway has as yet been made.
 [ Informal conferences of prominent steel officials were held during the day but no news of a definite char acter was obtainable from these sources. Chairman E. H. Gary de- lclined to discuss the status of the affairs and Francis Lynde Stetson, the Icdrporation's general coureel. would neither affirm nor deny the report that negotiations looking to a voluntary dissolution are I'll con- templation.
 To those who have followed the Operations of the corporation since it's inception decade ago the work of disintegrating and reorganizing the largest industrial combination ever organzed represents task of gigan tic proportions.
 Many of the subsidiaries whien lhelped to make up the corporation have lost practically all sembance lof their original selves and in the Iopinion of dispassionate observers T would be we'll night imposslose vc restore original equities.
 I The common and preferred shares of the United States Steel corpora tion were subjected to a severe at tack in today's stock market by req son of the various rumors affectinf the corporation. On sales approxi mating 575.000 shares, or almost fiji ty per cent of the days total trans factions, the common stock register led net loss of more than flv
 poirtsy while the preferred shares with sales exceeding 50,000 decline, Ialmost as much. In both instance new low records for the year ant
 even a longer period were estab Ilisked.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS
Many Cities Want the 1913 Meeting
 of Waterway Men.

VI NVdNSiWay "CUs Chicago, Ill., Sept. 2e.-What city and state will entertain the 1912 meeting of the National Irrigation Congress? Although it is some weeks until the Congress holds it's nineteenth annual meetingin Chicago, December to next, this question
 is already bobbing up. Several cities have extended invitations for the twentieth congress or annaunced their intention to do so.
 Prominently mentioned at the pre- sent time are New Orleans, La, Los Angeles and San Francisco, Calf Portland. oregon; Phoenix, Ariz, Rochester, N. Y, and Atlantic City, |N J. It is probable other eastern and southern cities will extend inyi- tations. Charles ton, s. C., has wanted the congress, and other cities in the Mississippi Valley besides New Orleans would be glad to have this meeting.
 The interest in drainage will bring large delegations from the south this year and as the west is planning strong representation their promises promises to be a lively contest at the coming Chicago meeting for the privilege of entertaining the fo low ing Irrigation Congress.

ITCHING IRRITATION. =
Worst Form 0. Skin Trouble Quickly Cured by inexpensive Treatment.

Cured by inexpensive Treatment.
 When you suffer with any skin trou. bl even though the itching seems un' bearable, do not think that it is ne. cessary to use some disgusting greasy ointment. Try Hokara, . pure and simple skin food that is guars nteed to contain no grease or acids and which Is so cleanIy, it does not soil the iinen.
 Its power to instantly relieve any irritation of the skin and make 1t soft, white and beautiful is almost miraculousl.
 Not only are minor skin troublcs like pImples, blackheads, acne. bar ber's itch, etc., quickly cured but the worst ulcers or cases of salt rneum or eczema are ciednsea and healed by this wonderful skin food.
 Tn order that any one may try Hokara at small expense Sorrell'i Drug Company are selling a iibera size jar at 25c and in addition guer- antee to refund the money if the treatment does not do all that k claimed for 1t. Larger :ize 50 cents.

BIC TAX SUIT
Right of Oklahoma to Tax Indian

Right of Oklahoma to Tax Indian Lands Is Involved. Guthrie, Okla. Sept. 21-A suit |attaclxing the right of the state of Oklahoma to tax the lands of the Osage Indians has been filed by United States District Attorney Isaac ID. Taylor, and P A. Shinn of Paw huska, attorney of the Osage tribe Three fourtlhs of all the land in Os- age county is involved. The suit is based on the allotment act as pass ed by congress in June, 1906.
 The case is of great importance to the whole state as its disposition may set precedent governing the taxing of lands of not onty the Osages but also of that of other Indians. The questions on which the case before the court will hinge are:
 First: Whether the surplus lands of incompetent Indians can be taxec after three years from date of the act.
 Second Whether the homesteads of deceased Indians can be taxed.
 Third. Whether any land. belong ing to deceased incompetent h. dian can be taxed.

Lewis West EIectrocuted.

Raleigh. N. c.. May 5.-Completely
overcome so that he had to be sup
ported to the death chair, Lewis West,
the notorious Wilson outlaw, was cleo
trocuted at 10:30 o'clock this morn
ing in the presence of the limited
number of spectators that the law al
lows. Quite a number of them were
officers and citizens of Wilson here to
see the passing of this noted criminal
who had given them so much trouble.
West wept copiously and, in the
last words that he was permitted to
say declared that he held nothing
against anyone and hoped to meet
all in heaven.
In a written statement made to his
spiritual advisors, Rev. ]. e. King and
Rev. III. D. Delaney, colored Episco-
pal ministers, West made it clear that
the negro, Stetson. who was given 80
years in the penitentiary~ as an ac-
complice. was really innocent of any
part in the row that ledSup to the
killing Of Deputy Sheriff Mumford
for which West was paying the death
penalty. He stated that Stetson did

STILL BIGGER BATTLE SHIPS.

Authority Says Limit Has Not Been
Reached in Vessels of $4,000 Tons.
From New York Sun
The British Society of Naval Ar
chitects has been discussing the size
of battle ships and inclines to the
opinion that the limit has by no means
been reached. The discussion brought
out the ratio of growth in England.
Battleships have increased in the last
ten years so per cent in displacement,
80 per cent in length, II per cent in
br9adthJ In speed more than two
knots an hour has been gained, and
the weight of metal discharged in
broadside has made the amazing
growth from 1000 to 1880 pounds.
Considering the mater of cost, it
was said that two of the newest ves-
sells could be built for about the price.
Of three OF the earlier and smaller
pre-Dreadnought type. The two
into action main armament one
third greater than that of the three
small vessels combined, and their
working cost and expensiVeness in.
modern vessels would, however, take
maintenance and repairs would be
less. From these considerations Prof.
j. j. Welch thought the policy of
building big ships was justified The
unsettled question; one which naval
officers could best answer he said,
was whether, ships of still greater
size would not prove an advantage.
Prof G. H. Biles said the classic
dictum used to be that "only num-
bers could annihilate," but it was now
antiquated One Dreadnought could
have annihilated. Nelson's entire feet
at Trafalgar, and for the matter of
that the French and Spanish ships

that the battle ship limit had been
reached in vessels of $4,000 or 3d.

Near Beer Saloons and crime.

The part which the near beer sa-
looms have played in the violation of
the prohibition law, as brought out in
the Durham recorders court during
the past few days, demonstrates again
the wisdom of the act of the last leg
iSlature abolishing these places. Prac-
ucally all the sixty or more illegal
sales of whiskey for which the de-
fendants are being tried this week
were made in connection with the
near-beer saloons.
Not only has it been proved conclu-
siVely that these places. are the cen
ter of the illegal WhisKey traffic, but
that they are also the centers of every
conceivable kind of vice and immor-
ality. The vice that centered about
the old open saloons was mild as COM
pared with the immortality entering
IN the near beer saloons, if the evi-
dence of those who frequent these
places is to believed.
Whether this vice will find some
other rendezvous when the near beef
saloons are abolished remains to be
seen, but it is certin that the present
headquarters of the vicious and inn
moral element of Durham will be re-
moved after July 1st, when the nefar-
GUS beer dispensaries go out of busi-
