among many people and some physi-

an unnecessary annoyance than as a
wise precautionary measure. =
But while there have been no deaths
there is one little baby boy six
months old, in North Topeka. who
will probably 90 through life totally

Young American Doctors Braved Death
to Investigate Causes of Dread

In the fourteenth century an cpl
deInic known to students as the black
death swept over the larger part of
the civilized world. 1t started in
northern China, worked it's way west
ward, and ultimately destroyed 25,000,-
600 people in Europe, one-fourth of
the total population. Two years ago
this same disease, now scientifically
rechristened the pneumonia plague.
started again in its old medieval birth
place-and in less than three months
destroyed $4,000 people.
This recent outbreak in Manchuria
is the first time the disease in extern
sive epidemic form has visited the
civilized world in 500 years. 1t was
the first opportunity that modern med
ical science has ever had to study the
disease at first hand
Two young Americans, DR.. Richard
P. Strong and Dr. Oscar league, in
discouragements forced their way into
the heart of the plague infested re-
gi0n, established rough and ready sci
entific laboratories at Mukden, made
large number of autopsies upon the
stricken Chinamen-the first which
had ever been performed in this an
cient capital the religious scruples Of
the Chinese having prevented expert
ments of the kind-and, in bulky
volume recently issued at Manila,
have presented to the scientific world
a detailed and comprehensive study of
this disease probably the most ia

certainly the most terrible in the rap

ators and l will keep far apart. The

That's strange" remarked the drug
gist to another customer who was wait
ing for a prescription. would you be-
lieve it if told you he was the fourth
person who came in here today buy
ing medicine for a hold in the head
The peculiar part of the matter is that
all of them complained that steam
heat was the cause of their colds.
"On reflection, however, that
shouldn't strike me as strange, for we
have the same thing happen every
year. Our busy season for cold medi-
cines begins at the time when the
steam heat is turned on.
Persons susceptible to colds-a
great many are-are affected by the
heat and before they realize it they
are sneezing and coughing. The steam
heated atmosphere is too much for
them. They sit in rooms altogether
too warm, although sometimes per-
sons are unaware of this condition be-
cause the radiators do the heating
slowly, and when they come out in
he open the sudden change causes
them to take cold
