SCIENTIST SAYS HE HAS
ISOLATED RABIES GERM.
Announcement by Bacterioiogist Of
Rockefeller Medical Institute.

Considerable interest has been arous-
ed among scientists everywhere by the
announcement from New York that
DR.. Nagouchi. one of the bacteriolo-
gists of the Rockefeller Medical insti-
tute there, has succeeded in isolating
the germ of rabies. This is a step
that has been vainly attempted for
years and is considered important if
true" though it has no immediate Sc
quel in the discovery of cure for the
disease.
AS the case has stood for long time
it was possible to tell when a dog was
actually mad by the presence of what
was known as ''negri bodies in the
brain. These We're not the germs of
rabies, but they were always one Of
the accompaniments of the disease.
The anti-rabic treatment. long known
as the Pasteur treatment, was develop
ed by inoculating rabbit with the
virus Of rabies and using the spinal
cord Of the rabbit for injection into
human beings. This was not cure for
the disease, but if it was applied with
in ten days after the person had been
bitten by known rabid dog it was
practically a sure preventive. In the
hundreds Of cases that have been
treated since the Pasteur system has
been known there have been less than
per cent of failures.
Now that it is announced the germ
Of rabies has been isolated, there is a
possibility that something in the way
Of a direct cure can be developed, as
the isolation of a disease germ is usu-
ally the preliminary step to making a
curative serum.

Working the Dignity Act,

Francis Wilson, the actor, always

saw in the show window cameo with

He went in to dicker for 1t.
The deal was about closed when the

offended tone.

"You see. thought you looked some

PREHISTORIC MAMMAL DUG UP
Scientists to View Bones Which May
Revolutionize Theories.

Scientists from Harvard and Bow
doin are on their way to Great island,
In Quohog bay. to examine the pet
r1fied skeleton Of mammoth prehis-
toric mammal. which was discovered
a few days ago on the farm of Theo-
dore Bullard. nephew of President
Emeritus Charles W. Eliot of Harvard
college, while Mr. Bullard was digging
a well. 1t was found almost intact in
what seemed to be cave about fifteen
feet under ground
Local scientists and Mr.. Bullard be-
Heve 1t to be mammoth Triceratope
and say if this is true it will revolu-
tionize scientists views of the periods
which different species of animals oc-
cupied and will be of worldwide inter
est. Two horses were used to pull
what is believed to be a mammals
skull from the well. This alone weighs
500 pounds and measures six feet long
and three feet high.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Water With Meals.

A difference Of opinion has ex-
listed as to whether water should
be drunk with food. Recent ex-
periments have seemed to indi-
cate that water may be drunk
with benefit at mealtime. This
is not finally settled, but 1t Is
certain that the practice Of fol-
lowing bit OF food Immediately
with a mouthful of water or 9TH
er liquid. washing 1t down with
out proper mastication and mix
ture with the saliva, Is injurious.
Children should especially be
trained to avoid lAis habit.
There is no doubt that In case
In which food is imperfectly
masticated the drinking of .
moderate amount OF water slow
~ after eating would facilitate
digestion, but the bit and sup
habit is obviously bad.

Of course any road has to have a
streak of fair weather to harden and
pack down, but if there is too much
clay in its makeup even after it forms
a settled crust or coating. that coat
ing is liable to break through every
rainy spell under anything like a
load and bring on the same old chew
ing-gum troubles. Neither sand or
clay alone make good road finish.
but mixed, they make almost an ideal
road, where the proper quantities
are put in.
