The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-01-11

Washington, Jan. 11--That insects
cause an annual loss to the United
States of S257 900, 000-the figure based
on the economic value of human life
is the statement of DR.. L. o. Howard,
formerly chief entomologist of the ag-
ricultural department. DR.. Howard
further enlarges the loss by saying that
splenetic fever, transmitted to cattle
by insects, known as cattle tick, brings
the total loss to 1857 .000, 900.
This loss, the learned scientist as
serts, is preventable both as to human
life and cattle.
Using figures, obtained after ex-
haustive research by w. D. Hunter
of the bureau of entomology here, DR..
Howard states that the house fly alone
causes a loss to human life as car
rier of tuberculosis amounting to $780,
600, 900; typhoid $40. 000, 600; enteritis and
diarrhea S35. 900. 600.
The mosquito is charged with loss
to human life of 500, 100000, as a car
rier of malaria.
DR.. Howard says he is unprepared
to state just what amount the gov
eminent would have to spend to pre-
vent this loss, but he is emphatic in
his assertion that the loss is pre-
ventable.

Military Camp Scene.
The comedy is given in three acts. The
first scene is a gymnasium. The second
military camp scene and the third full

uniforms, guns and other national guard
equipment.
Helen Harmon, a pretty high school
lassie with dark hair and brown eyes
takes the leading part. The favored few
who have peeked in on the rehearSals say
she will be the hit of the evening. There

DIR. Coutant. an able specialist has
evolved q newly perfected method for

perfect or where the sufferer is ha-
raised by ringing, roaring, buzzing OF
other disagreeable noises in the head.
1t appears that about % out of every
hundred cases are from causes amen
able to proper treatment
Or. Coutant does not advocate the
use OF drugs OF electricity. He relies
chiefly upon cooperating with nature
in bringing a bout a speedy and effect
ual cure of morbid aural conditions
remarkable cures are reported. Many
OF them being in the cases of deafness
that have existed for 20 or 40years
With the description given in his
newly published book, the learned doc
tor provides long series of letters
written by persons who had been
given up as hopeless. and who were
speedily cured at home without loss
of time and without Inconvenience by
Dr. Coutant's natural Home Method.
Anyone who is interested can write
to dozen or a hundred of the persons,

who are now delighted to proclaim
themselves as narvelously benefited or
completely cured.
DR. Coutant is not one of the ire
sponsible qracks of which there is such
a large number, but is a reputable, re-
sponsible. licentiate practicing physi-
clan with third of a century's active
experience.
The doctor believes there are many
readers of the Topeka State Journal
