see Dr.. Friedman, the German scientist.
who is inclined to believe he has diScov-
cred an amti-tuberculosis serum.
There does not appear to be any hint
of quackery about the doctor. AS far
as can be judged by what we read about
him, he makes no spectacular preten-
siOns. He has not affirmed that he has
discovered a cure for consumption. His
attitude is not only modest, but seems
rather timid. He came to this country
apparently because he has been invited
to come. His seems to be the cOnscicnt-
iOus position of the true scientist. His
experiments, so, far, seem to have been
successful; yet he has not perhaps
claimed for them that they are anything
more than experiments.
The world, of course, is more han
willing to take him for granted; but it
is to his credit that he does not seem to
wish to be taken for granted. A New
York banker offered him = million dol
lars to cure the bankers s~On-in-law. 1t
is rather a good sign that he refused to
undertake to earn this fee.
= Perhaps there is no man alive in the
earth today in whom SO many hopes are
conferred as this blond young German
professor. If he has succeeded in finding
AN anti-toxin for tuberculosis germs, his
fame is assured and his fortune, so far
as money is concerned, is also assured
The discovery, if it proves to be what
DIR. Friedman claims for it. should not
be allowed to remain the private prop
erty of any man or set of men. 1t
should become the property of the GOV
ernmentS of the world. The governments
themselves could afford to reward the
discoverer munificently.

The Lexington Herald of Sunday
contained an excellent feature article
entitled Traction History IN Lexing-
ton. " which was the work of Mr.: Rob-
ert S. Porter, OF Paris. who recently
accepted a position as a member of the
reportorial staff of that paper.
The story was illustrated with a
large number of half tone cuts OF the
officials of the traction system. cars
and property and shows clearly the
rapid development of the street car
and traction systems in Lexington and
the surrounding territory.
The feature was one of the most in
teresting that has ever been printed
in that paper and the writer is to be
congratulated upon his efforts. Mr..
Porter is an old experienced newspa-
per man and having a thorough knowl-
edge of the game is proving himself
most valuable acquisition to the repor-
torial department of the Herald.

offered was sold at prices that were
far above the average. The approach

effect of stimulating the mule lmar-
