Remedy for Bubonic Plague.

Section I. on hygienic microbiolosy and
| parasitology. meeting at the Pan-Ameri-
can bureau, heard the announcement by
DR.. Frederick G. Novy of the University
of Michigan of the discovery of a micro
organism which, it is believed, will re-
suit in the wiping out of bubonic plague.
This minute organism, the speaker said
| is peculiarly fatal TO rats, the bearers
and disseminatOrS of the plague
The meeting was presided over by DIR.
Theobald Smith, formerly of the bureau
of animal industry and now connected
with the Harvard University Medical
School.
DR.. Novy stated that the newly dis
covered micro-organism has not yet been
given a name. 1t is. however, so patho-
genie to rats that d dose Of one one
hundred millionth part of a cubic cent?
meter is instantly fatal and the virus. he
said, must be still further divided before
the rat can stand it. 1t must be admin
istered in the food eaten by the rats, as
| the disease it sets up is not readily COM
municated from animal to animal.
DR.. Borrel, chief of the laboratory of
the Pasteur Institute of Paris, was on
the program, but failed to appear. A
highly technical paper on Some Ex-
rus of Rabies" was read by DR.. Daniel
Warren Poor of the department of

Avoidance of Mine Explosions.

| At last nights plenary session, held in
| the assembly room of the New Nationa
| Museum. Sir Thomas Oliver, University
| Durham College of Medicine, Newcastle
upon-Tyne, England, announced the dis
covery of a chemical compound, in fluid
form, that will reduce the absorptive
qualities of coal dust to the minimum
and which will act as practically GER
| tain preventive of coal-dust explosions In
mines, and consequently reduce or almost
| do away with the loss of life from such
explosions. Catastrophes of this kind
| he said, have in the past cost thousands
| of lives annually, both in European col
lieries and the mines of America.
The speaker opened his address with an
his paper being on Dust and Fumes
the Foes of Industrial Life Since the
advent of the automobile, he said, the
dust raised from macadam roads by the
wheels of the machines has Killed the
trees bordering such roads, has driven
off or killed the birds that once lived In
the trees, and has even caused the fish
to forsake the streams near such ROADS.
Passing to the mining industry he out
lined the efforts of mine owners to do
away with the dust danger by sprinkling
the galleries.
Sir George then told Of experiments
made by him in his laboratory of the
University of Durham, College of Medl-
him that the explosions in the mines are
largely due to the absorption of oxygen
by the coal dust.
From my observations I find that the
explosions generally occur in the summer
months, when a barometric change is
likely to ignite the dust.
II have experimental with coal dust
and found that the dust absorbs more
oxygen in the dark, and also that dust
sprinkled with water absorbs little less
oxygen than the dry dust.
"Some of the dust, howev'r, we treat
ed with a chemical fluid. and found that
it was practically non-absorbent. COM
pared with coal dust in other FORMS
In speaking Of the evil effect of
fumes, IS cause of industrial disease,
Sir George congratulated Congress and
the President upon the passage OF the
act prohibiting the use of white phos-
phorus in the manufacture of matches,
which led to a general phosphorus ne
crosis of the jaw bones of employees in
match factories.
All sections with the exception of sec
tons V and TX met yesterday afternoon
and opened their weeks programs.

DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS TIRED
MT. Jlnks' Mean Inslnuatlon When Young Lady Dlspossessed Him
 of Ills Scat.

That was adding insult to injury, said Representative Mann, the minor ity leader of the house, apropos of a political squabble. Tt reminds me of young Jinks.
 Late one night young links sat in a crowded trolley car, and, when a girl he knew got aboard and stood di- rectly in front of him, he made no sign. His face hidden by his newspa- per, he pretended that he didn't know the girl would like to have his seat"
 After awhile she spoke.
 "'Good evening, MT. Jinks.'
 Why, good evening"
 "T've been to the Primrose social dance
 Indeed
 Then, after pause, she added:
 "It wonder, MT. links, you wouldn't offer me your seat'
 "Jinks then got up. He was very angry. He said, as he hooked himself to strap:
 "T thought you wouldn't want it; for, as you said you'd been to dance, I knew you must have been sitting all the evening""

The woman who "keeps house" has enough to do when she is in good sound health, but if she is weak, tired all the time, and suffering from morn to night with an aching back, house-work becomes heavy burden.
 Many women who were afflicted in this way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have made life easier for them.
 Women are subject to kidney disease. The clothing they wear, the work they do, the worry and strain of bearing and rear ing children, the lack of proper exercise; all tend to it.
 Backache, bearing down pains, headache, dizzy spells, faintness, fits of "blues," and other troubles often thought to be peculiar to the sex, are found frequently in kidney disease. When any one of these ills ap- pears, together with a discolored condi- tion of the kidney secretions, with passages too frequent, scanty or burning, just make up your mind that your kidneys are weak, and be quick to help them.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great many weak women through the trying times when kidney disease means so much added misery. They do not disturb the stomach or bowels and contain no poison ous, dangerous nor habit forming drugs. Doan's are harmless for children too.

A Terrible Tale of Kidney Suffering.

Mrs. H. W. Heagy, l515 L St., Bakers field, Cal, says: My kidney trouble began in the fall of 1907. I used remedy after remedy prescribed by physicians but no re- lief came and l was in despair On ac- count of the numbness and grating sensa- tion I could not lie down comfortably and some nights was not in bed half an hour. 1 became so nervous and restless 1 hardly knew what to do. Hot waves came over me like fash and became so dizzy that I staggered. I had a feeling as if there was gravel in my bladder, the kidney se- cretions acting too freely at times, while again they were very scant and accom- panied by terrible pain. cannot describe the suffering I endured for over two years. Finally began using Doan's Kidney Pills and while l did not notice much relief for a week or so, I continued consistently and when I had taken eight boxes 1 was feel ing fine. The numbness and smarting fin ally left, the kidney secretions became clear and natural and my health improved one hundred percent.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize more fully that good health is not to be found in the use of cosmetics and face powders. The appearance of health may follow facial treatment, but health itself lies much deeper than the surface.
 Most important to the health of ev- cry woman is regularity of the bowels and digestive organs. The weary eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches, pimples and general air of lassitude, is in most every case due to consti- patton or indigestion, or both. There are various remedies prescribed for this condition, but the easiest, most pleasant and certainly effective, is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin known to druggists as Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. This simple remedy is far preferable to harsh salts and cathartics and violent purgative waters that disturb the whole system without affording more than temporary relief.
 Dr. CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin Is 8 tonic laxative, mild in it's action, pleasant to the taste and positive in its effect, strengthening the muscles of stomach and bowels so that after @ short time these organs regain the power to perform their natural func- tions without assistance.
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists everywhere in soc and S1.00 bottles. If you have never tried it, write for a sample to Dr. w. B. Caldwell, POI Washington St., Monti- cello, Ill.,; he will gladly send trial bottle without any expense to you whatever

THE CARELESS GROCER BIundered, and Great Good Came of It.

A careless grocer left the wrong package at a Michigan home one day and thereby brought a great blessing to the household.
 Two years ago was sufferer from stomach troubles, so acute that the effort to digest ordinary food gave me great pain, and brought on condition of such extreme nervousness that could not be left alone. I thought should certainly become insane I was go reduced in flesh that I was little bet ter than living skeleton. The doc tors failed to give me relief and de- spaired of recovery.
 "One day our groceryman left 8 package of Grape-Nuts food by mis- take, so I tried some for dinner. I was surprised to find that it satisfied my appetite and gave me no distress what ever. The next meal ate of it again, and to be brief, I have lived for the past year almost exclusively on Grape Nuts. It has proved to be a most healthful and appetizing food, per fectly adapted to the requirements of my system.
 "Grape-Nuts Is not only easily di- gested and assimilated, but I find that since I have been using it I am able to eat anything else my appetite fan cies, without trouble from indiges- tion. The stomach trouble and ner- vousness have left me, I have regain ed my plumpness and my views of life are no longer Respondent and gloomy.
 Other members of my family, espe cially my husband, (whose old enemy, the heartburn has been vanquished) have also derived great benefit from the use of Grape-Nuts food and we think no morning meal complete with out it." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.
