PHYSICIANS EXPERIMENT
 VALUABLE TO SCIENCE

Berlin, Aug. -Dr. Max Moszkow- ski, of Berlin, who has won distinc- ton by his scientific researches in New Guinea, succeeded in giving him self an unmistakable case of beri- beri by living for 13s days upon diet consisting almost exclusively of hulIed rice He believes his experiments sup port the theory formerly held by him. that beri-beri is a disease induced by certain foods and not due to in lection of any kind from without, as has been maintained by many investi- gators
 Nr. Moszkowsld. who in 1911 advanc- eG his theory Tn address beTore the Berlin Medical Society, reported at the society's last meeting the re- suits of the experiment which he has just finished. After few weeks of hu1led rice diet the nervous disturb ances accompanying beri-beri appear ed, and the case was then diagnosed as beri-beri by pr. Schuffner, the not ed authority in this line. The typical dropsical affection of the skin follow ed. with soreness of certain groups of muscles, stomachic disturbances. ana eventually the typical and daH- gerous irregularities of the heart ac- ton.
 Dr. Moszkowski then treated himself with injections of an extract prepared

took part in the siege 2,0oO others had been posted along the road by Tecura- sch to prevent endorsements reach ing the fort.
 Proctor demanded the surrender of the fort. Croghan's answer. was de- liant The howitzers which had been landed on the shore and the gunboats immediately commenced a lombard ment. All night long the cannonade continued. The defenders had only one s1x-pounder cannon, and during the night this was taken from one block-hotlse to another, to give the impression that the fort was well arm ed.
 On the afternoon of the second of August Gen. Proctor ordered an as- sault While the British marched in two columns to assau the fort, a com pany of grenadiers attacked the de- lenders from another side, and the guns kept up an incessant lombard ment A thunder storm was coming up, and the darkness also helped to obscure the movements of the British. The two columns were almost upon the pickets before they were discov- ered.N
 The Kentucky sharp-shooters opened deadly fire on the attacking force, and the "thin red 1ine'' wavered, but soon rallied. The gallant Lieut.-Col. Short leaped into the ditch, followed by a number of troops, and victory was in the grasp of the British when the solitary cannon of the Americans was brought into position and moved down the British. Short and Lieut.. Gordon, who led the second column, were both killed, as were most of their followers The Indians fled at the first volley, and the white troops had to retreat The British lost 121 men, while only one American was killed. Croghan became the hero of the hour, and Congress voted him the thanks of the nation.

 Dr. Moszzowski believes the huIled rice contains a poisonous substance which is neutraIized when the huIls also are eaten. Fsurthermore, the fact that the phosphorus content of rice lies entirely in the hull probably is of importance. He believes that beri- beri has distinct relationship to scurvy and rickets.

SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

Perry's naval victory on Lake Erie in 1873 is being celebrated this year in cities all along the southern shores of the Great Lakes.
 The war between England and the United States developed many other heroes, on both sides, and not the least of these was Major George Croghan, the gallant son of a fighting race
 It was just century ago today, on the second of August, 1913, that Croghan Ieaped into fame by disobey- ing the orders of his superiors and successfully defending Fort Stephen son, with 16O men, against an attack ing party of a thousand Ac more.
 Fort Stephenson occupied site in the center of what is now the city of Fremont, O., but was then called Low CT Sandusky. It consisted of earth works, with 8 ditch, cfrcumvallating pickets, bastfons and bIock-houses.
 Late in July, 1913, Gen. Henry A. Proctor the British commander, with some 500 regulars, embarked for San dusky Bay, with the intention of talk ing Fort Stephenson. A large force of Tecumseh's Indians marched across the heavily wooded country to assist in the attack.
 Croghan, although he had only 160 men, mostly Kentucky sharp-shooters, heard of the impending assault, de- termined to stand pat'' and fight it out He had plenty or time 70 With draw his little force, and in so doing he would only have acted on the or ders of his superiors, who had told him to evacuate the fort when it was known that a greatly superior force of the enemy was approaching. Croghan's Irish blood was up, however, and he decided to stay, orders or no orders.
 When the British arrived before the fort on the first of August, the sur rounding forest was zswarming with Indians. Besides the redskins who

It is useless, dangerous and unneees-
