EDUCATING FOREIGN STU
DENTS

Convinced that one of the results
OF the present European war will be
to interest foreign students in oppor-
tunities for education in the United
States, DR.. p. =. Claxton, United States
commissioner of education, has author
lied the Immediate preparation and
publication of a special bulletin de-
scriDing, for the use of foreign stu
dents, the facilities for professional
and collegiate study in higher insti-
tutions Of learning in this country
The bulletin will be printed in sew
eral languages.
This is Americas opportunity" de-
cares Commissioner Claxton. Thou
sands OF students who have been at
tending universities in Europe will be
obliged TO look elsewhere for higher
education, not only this year, but per
haps for years to come. Many foreign
students are already coming to US.
many more will come as the result.
direct and indirect, of present events.
We have now a supreme opportu-
nifty to demonstrate our capacity for
intellectual leadership. Whether the
war continues three months or three
years, our opportunities and obliga-
tons 10 take the lead in education
and civilization will be the same, and
America should respond by Offering
the best opportunity in the world Cor
her own students and for those who
may come from other countries.
In the case of South America this
student migration will be facilitated
by the opportune opening of the Pan
anna canal. Students from the west
ern coast of South America will find
IL alluringly convenient TO go via the
canal to educational centers in the
United States.
within the last two decades the
increase in opportunity for graduate
study and research, aJsd for profess
sionaI and technical education has
been very remarkable, much greater
than most people even in America
realize. The recent raising of stand
ards and the better equipment OF med
icaI schools. the large endowments and
appropriations for 'all forms of engi-
neering, the marvellous growth of our
colleges OF agriculture, the develop
ment of colleges and schools of edlsca-
ton. and the rapid increase in income
Of all the better colleges make IL pos
sible for this country TO take the lead
In education in a way that would have
been impossible even at the beginning
Of the century"

Cause of Anemia-LaGk of Blood
Brady,M.D.

In health the blood contains about
100000 red corpuscles per cubic mil
limeter. And these red cells are rich
in hemoglobin, the demonstrating
Cxygen-carrying substance which
gives color and life 10 the blood.
.Anemia may be primary or second
airy. That is, the blood may be def
cient by reason of disease of the blood
making glands-as in chlorosis
C"green sickness"), leukemia, and per-
niCious anemia. Or the anemia may
be secondary to hemorrhage, living in
bad air. lack of sunlight, faulty food, or
some systemic disease which impov-
erishes the blood.
Common Factors of Weak Blood.
Hemcrrhage is one of the most fire.
quent factors OF ordinary anemia. The
hemorrhage may be slight, but repeat
ed. as in internal piles, unrecognized
ulcer in stomach or duodenum, excess
i've periodic bleeding in women. or 9TH
or concealed hemorrhaSes from inter
nal organs.
Toxic states, as in chronic kidney
diseases, infections of various kinds,
the growth of a tumor. and even sim
pie toxemia from constipation may
produce anemia.
The hCokworm is a widespread fac
tor of anemia OF progressive, severe
degree in the south. Other parasites,
particularly tape-worms, are often
found to cause anemia otherwise not
10 be explained.
4 diet which does not include suffi-
cient fruits and vegetables is an every
day factor of weak blood.
Causes of Primary Anemia.
Chlorosis. the green sickness" is
met with in young girls of - 10 20
years. 1t is due TO some inherent de-
feet Of development, especially a de-
feet OF the blood-making glands. There
is some peculiar inability to assimi-
late iron from the food. There is also
hereditary influence in many cases.
But the underlying factor is believed
10 be a functional insuficiency of the
bone marrow, where red blood corpus
cles are produced. Chlorosis is cura-
BILE in every instance.
Pernicious anemia occurs in per
sons OF any age, but mostly toward
middle age. Many physicians be-
lieve il Is really caused by some pro
longed toxemia Tor blood poisoning)

mouth. the stomach or some other
point along the alimentary canal.
While the disease has periods of
marked improvement at times, it is
almost always incurable by present
treatment. Progressive pernicious an
emia is as rapidly fatal as cancer to-
day.
Ieukemia is a rare form of primary
anemia accompanied with enlarge
ment of the spleen and the lymph
glands throughout the body. 1t oc-
ours usually in persons of forty or
more years. Malaria, syphilis and in
testinal toXemia have been suggested
as causes in certain cases, but of this
we have no positive knowledge. Some
times recovery is possible, but most
cases are incurable.
In another issue we shall discuss the
symptoms of the anemias.
Questions and Answers.
Mrs. l.. S. w. asks: What is rick
cts and what causes it?
Reply: 4 disease of infants from
six months to two or three years of
age. caused by improper diet The
child is irritable, disinclined to use

Later on bony deformities appear. The
heed looks square-broad forehead
The wrists are thickened. The ribs
slow a beaded prominence at either
side of the breast bone. and chicken

a common cause of ricketts,.

THE MAN WHO DESERVES TO
WIN.

The Warsaw Bulletin. n leading re
publican paper of Hancock county
after stating that It will oppose tn,
return to congress of Congressman
Clyde H. Tavenner for purely politica
reasons, says:
However. the Bulletin has not
a word TO say against Mr.. Taven-
ner personally, and If it was a be-
lever in democratic principles and
a supporter of the present ma
tional administration, IL would be
heartily for him, in the primaries
and at the polls, for ii believes in
fair play and a just recognition of
loyal party service. Mr.. Taven-
ner has stood faithfully by VIII
sons administration. II democrats
generally approve the presidents
course, to be consistent they must
approve that of Mr.. Tavenner,
and to do that they must nominate
him next Wednesday. What the
people will do to Mr.. Tavenner, or
TO any other democratic congress
sional nominee, in the district in
November viii be quite aplenty,
but the sting of defeat will be
largely neutralized If the party
goes down under a leader who
stands primarily for its principles
rather than one whose strongest
buttress is phalanx of disappoint-
ed seekers after post Offices"
The Bulletin is correct in its esti
mate as to what the democracy of the
district owes to Tavenner, but is sadly
of in its ideas of what the people will
DO. The people are for Tavenner. Re.
publicans and plenty of them do not
hesitate to say that all they ask OF
the democrats is to renominate him
and they will do their part in electing
him, not only because he is a man of
the people. but because he is in accord
with the national administration and
nasmuch as the present administra-
lion has practically three years more
to run under its tenure OF office. a
man in political accord will naturally
accomplish more than one outside.
The democrats owe il TO Tayenner
to renominate him and the people owe
IL to him to reflect him.
And the obligation will be fulfilled in
both instances.
