HE TELLS OF CURE.
DIR. Heath Says He Will Give
Discovery to Doctors.
Began Research Seeking Cure
for Hay Fever.

st. Louis, Feb. 21.-For the first
time since the announcement of its
discovery DR.. George NJ. Heath has
explained for publication his treatment
of tuberculosis, soon to be tested in
competition with the Friedman
''cure" for the million dollar prize Of
fered by Charles e. Finlay, New York
banker and real estate operator.
DR.. Heath explained that he intends
giving the process to the medical pro-
fession as soon as he is absolutely
convinced that he has developed his
the meantime he will furnish the SER
um to physicians who desire to test
it as fast as he can manufacture it in
his laboratory.
The treatment consists of a sub
cutaneous injection of bactericidal,
nontoxic serum in which has been in
corporated nontoXic tubercular bacilli
and other metabOlic substances.
Given in conjunction with this in
lection is preparation which sup
plies the deficient mineral salts taken
from the system by the tuberculosis
germ. This preparation also acts as an
oxygen carrier, br ging to the blood
oxygen the diseased lungs are unable
to supply.
DR.. Heath's serum is the result of
research work on hay fever started
in 1908. From this work he became
interested in the biological part of the
tuberculosis research and carried his

BALKAN W ARN news
That Three Days Battle Was
Undecisive.
Turkish Troops Massacre 100
Christians.

London, Feb. 21.-The story of a
three days battle at Bulair, in which
$500 men on each side were reported
killed or wounded, contained in dis
patch received here, is now believed to
be a revival of an old report of fight
ing in that district.
The situation at Adrianople remains
unchanged. The porte having refused
to permit foreigners to leave Adrian
ople, the governor of the fortress has
offered to set apart the karagatch
quarter on the right bank of the
Martha river as a sanctuary for the
1,400 foreign residents. It is doubt
full, however, if Bulgaria will consent
to this.
The Servians have brought up heavy
artillery to assist the Montenegrins in
a renewed attack on Scutari. M Popo-
witch, the Montenegrin delegate in
London, visited the foreign office to-
day and informed the British govern
ment that under no circumstances
could Montenegro acquiesce in any
transaction under which she would be
required to abandon her claim to
Scutari.
Massacre of Christians by Turks.
Sofia, Feb. 21.-One hundred Chris
tians were massacred by Turkish
troops yesterday in the village of
kenaminio, according to a dispatch
received by the Bulgarian government
today. Similar massacres and other
atrocities are reported throughout the
Tchatalja district, a large portion of
which has been left unprotected by
the partial withdrawal of the Bulgar-
ian troops.

Making His Speech.
"TRIPLETS OF TRIBULATION. y
Bryan, Roosevelt and La Fol-
Iette Thus Characterized.
Speaker Cheered by Those Who
Want "Fair Play"

New York, Feb. 21.-The widest kind
of demonstration was witnessed
Thursday night at the annual dinner
of the American Paper and Pulp Asso-
citation at the Waldorf-Astoria when
Levi H. Bancroft, former attorney gen.
eral of Wisconsin scathingly denounced
former President Roosevelt.
During the first part of Mr.. Ban
croft's forceful speech the diners held
loud conversation among themselves
and apparently did everything to di-
vert the attention of the speaker. Their
attitude became such that former Judge
Charles F. Moore, the toastmaster,
suddenly interrupted the speaker and
made this announcement:
IF there are any gentlemen present
who do not wish to hear our guest, 1
wish they would leave the ROOM
Several men got up and went out.
But the climax came when Bancroft
fairly shouted:
Bryan, Roosevelt and LaFollette,
troublesome triplets of tribulation-

Mullahs of Progress.
LA Toilette, slanderer and socialist
advocate of the initiative, referendum
and recall as a substitute for consti-
tutional government.
"Roosevelt-Bull Moose and bully"
here several Hle1 JuLupeu up anu
waving their napkins aloft shouted:
Three cheers for the Bully!'
Great numbers of the other diners
let out a wild howl for Roosevelt, and
over the :1in Bancroft continued:
Roosevelt the betrayer of his party
the apostle of new nativity and mob
rule, by which he would become die
tator."
This was too much for the diners and
they let out a cry for Roosevelt that
fairly shook the hotel.
Three cheers for mob rulei Hurrah
for mob ruIei Give US mob ruler
Judge Moore finally made himself
heard and angrily announced that any
one who did not wish to hear what the
guest of the evening had to say to
them should leave the place. Thereup-
on many more men got up and went
out and Mr.. Bancroft continued his
speech.
At the conclusion of his address
which lasted for almost an hour the
speaker was given generous applause
from those in the audience who wished
