eases are common to certain animals and
to man, and that if anti-bodieS produced
by sick animals can be injected into hu-
man beings who are sick with the same
disease, the poisons produced by the at
tacking germs are counteracted. Thus
spinal meningitis, which few years ago
was generally fatal, is to-day cured by
the injection into the baby's blood of an
titoxins that are created in the blood Of
certain animals made sick with the same
disease.
USING SELECTIVE PoSONS.
Some poisons made by the cells OF the
human body may be duplicated in the
chemical laboratory. Already we seem
to have entered field that promises in
the treatment OF disease as great revo-
luton as the introduction of antiSeptcs.
This is the use OF selective poisonS,
which, although killing the invading
microbe, do not In any way iniure the
cells of the body.
The chemist makes these in thousands
of variations, and the experimenter tests
them one after the other, until the one is
found that is not injurious to the cells OF
the body, but that is destructive 10 the
parasite. QUINN, the alkaloid OF a Peru
Wan tree, the medicinal properties OF
which were discovered by chance by a
race of savages, is one Of these selectiye
poisons. Recognized to-day as the alb
solute specific for malaria, it has saved
the lives, perhaps, of millions Of human
beings.
Heretofore, although any one could
theoretically enjoy the pleasure of peer
ing into the minute details ofthings. COM
paratively few have had, in point of fact,
the time or the patience so to prepare
things that they can be thoroughly ex-
amined. Now the art OF microphoto-
graphy has been applied not only to such
things as microscopic germs, too small to
have any distinctly interesting variety OF
form, but to the merely small things that
are just beyond the clear vision OF the
naked eye.
These can now be magnified TO hun
dred times their natural size and photo
graphed. That means opening to the
public at large most fascinating world,
so far surprising the faiy-tales in variety
and wonder that il will be surprising 10
me If any active-minded person can keep
away from II.
If the leaf-hopper were the size OF the
rhinoceros, II would seem so strange In
form that the antediluvian noSe-horned
beast would seem tame In comparison.
The plant-louse, with its milking ants,
would be stranger than the goat, the
scale-insects more curious than the gi-
raffe, the myriapods more remarkable
than the giant snakes, and the nematodes
more curious than the conger-eelS. And
all the time these strange beasts are in
the lawn, or under the dried leaves, or
sticking to some twig, or crawling under
some stone perhaps within your reach as
you read.

Earning His PIE.

Eph WasSon did not believe in The
sweetness OF bread earned by the sweat
of the brow-at least, not by the sweat OF
his brow. So Mandy, his wife, like many
another industrious colored woman, not
only took in washing. but chopped her
own wood, built the fires, and waited on
Eph besides.
But there came a change when their
daughter Clarrissa came home. "CAr, 7"
who was an eXpeH cook, had gone to
school and become teacher, and had
acquired an independent spirit. She
quickly took in the domestic situation.
Now all the spring Eph watched the
cherry tree in his back yard with wat
ering mouth. II there was one thing that
Eph liked more than another, it was
cherry pie; and Clar was famous for her
cherry pies. As good luck would have
il, she had come home just as the cher
ries were ripe.
"Clar, honey" said Eph, in wheedling
tone, the morning after her arrival, won't
you cook yo' ole DADDY a cherry pie Z"

fled off happily to his usual loafing place.

Clar started to make the pie, "dar amt

Moreover, there was no sugar, and on
Iy a half-cup OF flour. However, that
did not disturb Clar She picked a pint
of cherries, put them in pan, and pour
ed over them the pint Of flour stirred in
water. This mixture she put in the oven
and lighted the only two sticks OF wood
in the house.
AT noon Eph came In with eager anti
cipaGon, and sitting down at the table,
called for his pie. Clar set il before him.
He rolled his eyes at the mess in aston
ishment. II was looking pie;
still, Clar was always learning something
new. He cut into II, and took a big
mouthful.

said Clar unconcerHediy.
"And amt had acherry pie for more'n
two years." said Eph, pushing back the
plate and shaking his head mournfully.
"When you get something TO make II

bake you cherry pie" said CIar.
"Huhp grumbled Eph, in disgust. "Ii

"All right" said Clar. "The green's
are out in the pasture; 20 eat EN-"
But the next day there were wood and
flour and sugar in the house in time FOR a
cherry pie. After missing three regular
meals, Eph had concluded that victuals
OF any sort were worth working for-ii
he could not get them in any other way.

SHARPELOOKSFOR
INCREASED SCORING
UNDER NEW RULES

ITHACA, N. Y. Sept. 19.-That the
changes in the footbau rules will not
only make the game more interesting
but give to the big teams fairer
chance TO show their superiority is the
opinion OF DIR. Albert H. Sharpe, the
new football coach at Cornell. Sharpe
has been a football official for a num-
ber OF years and has had opportunity
TO study the developments of the game
under the various changes in rules.
He regards Il as unlikely that the
smaller teams this year will give the
bigger teams so much trouble to the
extent Of tying or beating them, at
any rate. He things that the game
under last years rules was not fair
in that It gave the smaller teams,
teams relatively much weaker, an op-
portunity OF preventing, bigger teams
from scoring on them The changes
this year, he thinks. will put the small
Ter college teams back in the class in
which they belong and will help the
bigger teams score more than they
did last'year
In fact, Sharpe looks for much
scoring on both sides In the big
games this year, believing that the
rule changes increasing the number
OF downs from three to four and max
ing possible forward passes over the
goal line will have that effect. This
year. he thinks, the secondary de-
fense will not dare come close TO the
line Of scrimmage and therefore the
attacking backs within the 20yard
zone will not have two lines TO pierce
and, moreover. they will have one
more down in which to make the dis
lance. For that reason Sharpe expects
TO see no little scoring In the big
games and plenty of excitement all
the way through. He is convinced
however. the new rules will AFFORD a
much better test of the real strength
of the teams than was possible last
year.

KID FOSTER
BEST YOUNCSTER
OF The YEAR

Eddie Foster third baseman OF the
Washington club is the best young
player TO come into the American
League this year, in the opinion Of
President Ban Johnson.
The head of the American League
voiced this opinion when asked to
name the best all-around young ball
player of this years vintage. This
is what Johnson says Of Foster
Foster Is but one Of several very
fast players who have made great
records in their first seasons efforts.
When every view Of Fosters work Is
considered, however. ] believe he is
entitled to the honor OF leading the
list.
Foster is a fast fielder. covers a
lot of ground, hits we'll and plays a
magnificent inside game He is a
wise player in every way and is
improving all of the time.
This is his second adventure In
the American League. and he learned
much by his first experience Like
many a young player. he was not
ready for fast company the first time
up, and he did not know how to take
care of himself.
1T is different now. however. for
he has learned his lesson we'll and
realizes It is up to him TO keep him
self in condition TO deliver the best
baseball that is In him.
Foster is a Chicago boy. He was
discovered by Robert Mccoy when
Robert was manager Of a semi-pro
team several years ago. He went east
for Connie Mack and played several
seasons in the Tri-State League. He
was with the New York team i'm 1910,
but was not of much use, so was sold
to Rochester Of the International Lea
que He played great ball for Ro-
chester and last fall Jim McAleer
spent two weeks watching him be-
fore he made up his mind to take
him 10 Washington. McAleer told me
at that time that Foster was the best
young player he had seen anywhere
that season.
''The only possible objection 20
Foster might be that he is small
though this does not appear 10 handi-
cap him, for he covers as much
ground as any third baseman, and his
speed in getting after the ball is
enough to make up for any lack Of
inches. He throws 10 first accurately
and fast and from almost any posi-
ton.
"It is a delicate thing for me to
pick a player as the best youngster in
the American League, but feel that
Foster deserves the distinction and II
IS no discredit at all for any Of the
other young stars that he should be
chosen. On the othe rhand. It should
be an incentive for young players to
work hard to make as good a record
as Foster has made for himself"
