MS way to meet pneumonias swift thrust Is
tne discovery of DR.. August Francis Schafer a
country practitioner of Bakersfield California II
Dr- Schafer had been in Paris. instead of an oil
town In the depths of California, we would have
oeen electrified by his discovery two years ago.
AS 1t is, he waited until he could bring it forth
with its record of two thousand cases before he
even took into his confidence the nearest medical
society. Without those two thousand cases doc
tors would have, been free to doubt With them
ne has met the professional requirement of an in
fallible remedy
How has he done it? How could a country doc
tor discover what all the laboratories of Europe
have failed to reveal? These are natural ques-
lions But 1t was not fluke. The discovery was
not made by accident Dr. Schafer studied dis
ease germs diligently for ten years and developed
laboratory not matched in the hospitals of San
Francisco before he injected his anti-toxin into
human being, Then he tried it on himself to
make sure that was harmless. He is scientific
student with a thorough knowledge of medicine
and surgery, He would have worked out his theo-
ries anywhere. The accident lay in the fact that
he lived in Bakersfield.
The Pneumonia Test.
No more severe test could have been given the
anti-toxin than Bakersfield has afforded in the
past two years. In that district pneumonia accom-
panies most diseases, often In the duplex form.
In ten per cent of the cases assesses develop in
the lung, pus accumulates in the pleural cavity
Moreover, it comes swiftly and strikes suddenly
The oil PUSHES have built towns in a night. Rapid
change, exposure and bad water have been fol-
lowed by typhoid and pneumonia. Men have gone
to bed feeling badly and never seen the end of
the next day They have fallen in the streets as If
stricken with plague. But for two years now
most OF the physicians in that part Of the country
have been inoculating their patients with serum
provided by DR.. Schafer. and contrary TO the ex-
perience Of all previous rush settlements there
has been no epidemic of pneumonia
Extreme cases have been the rule in Dr.
Schafer's practice. Even after all hope has been
given up. he has pulled patients through. Among
the pneumonia cases cured by him. before he
took the world into his confidence were:
Two infants.
Twenty children from two to eleven years old
Eight chronic alcoholics. three Of whom had had
de.irum tremens
Sixteen cases with measles as well as pneu-
monia
Three with blood poisoning in their hands and
legs in addition to pneumonia.
Three with peritonitis complications; and
Twenty-Five patients over sixty years old.
Among eighteen cases OF duplex lobar pneu-
monia was man of nnety-two. an almost un-
precedented recovery. There were besides. two
cases following operations at childbirth one three
and the other six days after. The second woman
was in desperate straits when DR.. Schafer saw
her. She had pulse Of $780, when 1t could be pal

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most ail
ments. There are % feet of humaN
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear

had my way would prohibit the sale
of nine-t enths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impover1sk

no time to waste. so in his Bakersfield prac-
tice DR.. Schafer worked out a rough for
mula which was found to be effective in local
cases. He prepared what he termed mixed in
fection" which is worth knowing about for the
lives it has already saved AS far as experiments
nave gone 1t might be called the pneumonia anti
toxin. 1t is composed of equal portions Of the
counterirritants to the three germs predominant

remedy for pneumonia in Bakersfield
It is made by stimulating the artificial growth

resulting vaccines requires great skill.
This stock anti-toxin will probably prove to be
valuable anywhere. In the first few days follow

OF this year, when San Francisco physicians could
only believe it the work of quack Dr. Henry
Spiro took chance with it in desperate situa-
ton. with astonishing results.
"A pneumonia patient was apparently dying"
he explained afterwards. "and, in what seemed his

do nothing for him. except try the new Schafer

In practice the stock anti-toxin has been used
but, unless the patient has shown immediate bene-

knew that If he had real enduring light it would
shine out from under the bushel.
First 1t became known in the surrounding coun-

cured. Then the news gradually spread and cure

GAS FIELDS GOOD
FOR MANY YEARS
PROF. OHERN STATE GEolOGlST
SAYS KANSAS MAN HAD BUT
FEW FACTS.

Norman, Okla, Dec. ll.-Prof. ID.
NJ. Ohern. director of the Oklahoma
geological survey, is being deluged
with kilograms and other messages re
,arding his estimate Of the Oklahoma

aist of Kansas, says will be exhausted
in three years at the present rate OF
consumption. For four years Ohern
has had direct charge of the investi-
cations in the Oklahoma oil and gas
field. These investigations are beins
carried on by the United States and
state geological surveys and therefore
uhern should be competent to speak
authortatyely on the subject. He
said:
Prof Hawor,h is a good man and
ought to know what he is talking
about. have seen his report only as
given in Kansas City newspaper He
may be right in his conclusion that
Kansas City will probably be without
gas three years hence. This amounts
10 saying that the gas field of north
east Oklahoma will be exhausted in
that time. But IL is difficult to har-
monize his judgment with some gold
facts.
The estimation Is seemingly based
on rock pressure and present daily
production in the Copan, Bartlesville,
Tulsa, Sapulpa and Okmulgee fields.
Some of these are old. The Oldest
are weak. From now on the yield
will not be large. But Haworth
seemed to have omitted three consid-
erations which are prime factors in
the matter.

Developments in old fields. A relative
ly high percentage of the wells drilled
are gassers. New wells are being
brought in at the rate of between 200

and in old fields. This means that
new wells are being constantly added
in the old territory. Moreover, there

RICE IN CHINESE FASHION
One Method of Yellow Race That May
Well Be Copied by tho
American Cook.

The Chinese method of cooking rice
differs from that of the ordinary
housewife, and the rice when done,
instead of being mushy, sticky
paste, is spotlessly white, perfectly
dry, with each grain standing by it.
self. To attain these results pick the
rice over carefully to remove all re-
fuse; then wash it through several
waters, rubbing 1t between the hands
to remove the coating of starchy
powder. When the water is perfectly
clear you will know that the rice Is
in fit condition to be cooked. Have
some water boiling in a saucepan, the
proper proportions being about two
quarts of unsalted water to each half
pint of rice. Sprinkle the rice in so
so slowly that the water will scarcely
stop boiling and cook it at a gallop
in order that the grains may be kept
in motion while boiling. Do not stir
or touch the rice in any way after
the grains have commenced to soften.
When they are done drain off all the
water and set the pan in the oven,
that the rice may swell. Do not let
it cook or brown. and serve 1t as soon
as it has become thoroughly dry,
which will probably be in less than
ten minutes. Let each person salt
the rice to suit his own taste after it
has been brought to the table.

Sense of Humor,

That lively perception of the ludi-
crous, which we all possess in greater
or smaller measure, has been very
rightly called the saving sense of hui
NOR. 1t saves our souls alive. 1t
saves our hearts from breaking. 1t
saves us from all manner of folly and
wickedness and sorrow and despair.
In effect, it saves us from our worst
enemy, who is oftenest ourself. But
one mans humor is something an
other mans boredom and woman's
exasperation Which is to imply that
the humor sense manifests itself in
vastly dissimilar ways. There are
many kinds and degrees of the sense.
It varies in different climes and in
different ages. 1t wakes and wanes
with our growth and decline, and as
sumes as many colors and forms in
the course of a life as the procession
of the seasons assume in the course
of a year. 1t is raw and crude in our
infancy, fully-blooded and flamboyant
and boisterous in the hot summer of
our lusty youth, ripe and mellow and
kindly in our autumnal tine, and cold
and bleak and comfortless in the win
try cynicism of old age.-EdwiR Pugh,
