GEORGIA COMMISSION WILL
HELP RAILROADS


The Railroad Commission of the
state of Georgia, realizing the serious
financial predicament in which the
railroads are at present, has decided
to come to the rescue of the trans
portation interests to tide them over
their dilemma. The chairman of the
commission in letter to the general
counsel of the Southern Railway
states that owing to the material de-
crease in the revenues of carriers the
Georgia Railroad Commission will
not now nor until the present financial
situation is relieved impose upon any
of the roads subject to its jurisdiction
any expenditures for new stations,
warehouses, terminal facilities, setc.,
except such as are absolutely neces-
sary. If the Railroad Commissions OF
other states follow the example OF
the Georgia commission it will aid
greatly in saving the roads from the
financial ruin which is now staring
them in the face. Matters look par
'ticularly blue for the various south
western lines which have been great
ly hampered by expensive and unreas-
opable legislation and rulings of var
ious kinds.

HORSES GIVING BLOOD
TO SAVE WAR VICTIMS
(By United Press)

DEIhJlI, MICH, NOV. o-etuartereu
on some of the finest pasture land in
Michigan, at Rochester, near Detroit,
and maintained in a life of luxury
and ease, drove of magnificent
horses are daily giving their blood to
save the lives of soldiers fighting on
the battlefelds of Europe. These ami
mails have no other purpose in life
they merely give their blood that the
soldiers may live.
The horses are the property of
Parke, Davis & Co., of Detroit, the
largest drug manufacturing concern in
the world. They are used to produce
anti-tesetanic serum, which is admin
istered to prevent and cure the dread
disease tetanus. The entire output of
the anti-tesetanic serum manufactur-
from the blood of their horses is now
shipped to Europe for injection into
the soldiers suffering or threatened
with tentanus.
During the month of October, the
Parke- Davis company shipped to the
batlefelds of Europe more than ten
times as much of the serum as is nor
mally exported.
The method of manufacturing the
serum is complicated and the process
takes more than nine months from
start to finish. Briefly, the method
is this
Tetanus germs, which are merely
vegetable plants, are propagated on
a large scale in the ParkeDavis com
pany laboratories. These germs are
then placed in large receptacle about
40 feet square. which is filed with
beef soup, or bouillon, manufactured
from beef and glucose. This mixture
then is covered with sterile oil to pre-
vent air from getting at the germs,
and permitted to stapd for three
weeks, during which period the teta-
nus germs multiply into the millions.
These germs exerete poison.
The next step in the process is the
filtration of the mixture through pa
per and unglazed porcelain. This ope-
ration eliminates the germs and
leaves poisonous soup.
This mixture of poisonous soup is
then injected into the horses at Roch-
ester. At the same time, anti-toxin is
injected to neutralize the effects of
the poison. These double injections
are repeated, at periods of about one
week, for three months, when the
horse is immunized. The bleeding
process then begins. Each animal is
hled from the iugular vein about once
every month, an average of two gal
lens of blood being taken each time.
| About 25 per cent of this blood con
| sists of straw-colored fluid or
serum, which is separated from the
rest and placed in ice chests, where
il must remain for from six to eight
months. With the addition of a pre-
servative, and second liberation
through unglazed porcelain, the pro
cess is complete and the output is
called anti-tesetanie serum.
Whenever possible, this serum in
injected into each wounded soldier, to
eliminate all possibility of loekiaw

German Offensive Weakening.

PARIS, Nov. 3.-The Germans are
hard pressed in many places and ex-
perts declare their offensive has lost
its force. The allies are advancing
everywhere. The German attempt to
advance seaward is called the war s
costilest defeat, their losses being
enormous. The final crusher was Civ
en- when the Belgians cut the dykes
and flooded the country. The British
and French artillery then shelled the
enemy struggling in the water. Hun
dreds were slaughtered and many
drowned. The result was the army IS
morale was broken and Immediately
the allies assumed the offensive and
repelled the enemy, notably near
Gheluvelt, probably a distance of five
miles.

Just how near "organized base
ball." the American and National
Leagues, came to utter wreck and
ruin and how the overthrow of the
autocratic power of the national COM
mission was averted, few know.
The man who prevented this cata-
clasm was big, quiet John Henry, de-.
scendant of Patrick Henry, and
catcher for the Washington baseball
club. But for him the national COM
mission would have played into the
hands of the Federals, and driven
hundreds of their best players to the
outlaw league.
This is the story:
The Federal League had been quiz
city planning its comprehensive cam
paign. 1t was striving to secure the
sympathy and active aid of the play
ers' organization. The National and
American League owners and the ma
tional commission pooh-poohed the
idea of rival league. The ball play
ers, through their president, Dave
Fultz, had made certain demands of
the national commission which, after
scornfully rejecting Fultz, grudgingly
agreed to permit him to appear, be-
fore it's august body. Fultz and Ban
Johnson are bitter foes. Johnson at
first refused to have anything to do
with anyone represented by Fultz,
but finally consented to hear a COM
mittee of players, and to let Fultz

CRITICISM OF DAY BOOK

Editor The Day Book:-Permit me

journalism, together with a criticism.
One Mans Opinion-I believe The
Day Book plan is destined to revolu-
tionize the newspaper business. 1t
will develop into larger proposition,
giving more news and fuller details,
and will sell easily for cents. Why
not? 1t is plain common sense.

tiresome bedsheets: always thought
them a nuisance. A person who
reads one should pay two fares on

for the extra days vacation. Now,
what l want to know is, Why don't
he add to his prices now? Why wait
for vacation days?
Constant Reader" seems to think
that the storekeeper fix the price.
This is not true. 1t takes two to
make a bargain, and the customer
can refuse to buy. In every case,
where there is no monopoly, the law
of supply and demand rules. Where
there is monopoly, as in the case of

ing other people.
A Criticism-IF The Day Book
plan is right, why, then, we who read
it believe all papers should adopt the
same convenient style.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you are giving US
no Sunday or holiday papers. If, as
you say, you and your help need a
holiday the same as your readers, so
likewise do all the newsgathering
agencies, reporters, etc., all over the
world. Supposing we had attained
our ideal and all papers were like
yours, and by your arrangement, all
news people rested Sundays and holi-
days (as much their right as yours),
then, in that case, all the worlds
news would go unrecorded, and those
days would represent just so many
blanks in the worlds progress. No
matter how important the event it
would be forever lost to the world.
Every time you miss an issue it sets
you back just so far, and 1 firmly be-
ieve it weakens your hold on and
good intentions with the people.
1t never can be what it should be
until you give us a paper every day.
Perhaps the sun needs rest, too, but
nevertheless it must shine on every
day. 1t is a necessity.

Editor Day Book:-I am a reader
of your Day Book and see what boys
have been writing to you about the
cops. 1t is the same way around our
house. When we are waiting around
the corner for the rest of the kids old
Mclaughlin and Beer Belly come
along and say, Move along now,
move along; it's time you kids ought
to be in bed" when it's only o'clock.
Then we go over in the vacant lot
on VanBuren and Laf1in and start to
play ball. Then they come along and
say, Don't make no noise, kids, or
we'll chase you out of here" There
is no other place we have to play in
and they won't even let US play in
here. They're afraid we might break
some windows. There are no swim
ming pools or Fairgrounds around
anywhere. So when we want to go
swimming we have to go away out
to Desplaines river. If you do not
know how to swim you're liable to
drown, so you see you're not safe.
