cally charging that the Pasteur Insti-

sponsible for an increase i'm rabies
Wherever the Pasteur method is followed
in treating rabies the malady is on the
increase, he said.
incidentally he brought out some inter
esting facts to show that hydrophobia
was purely mental, and that he had seen
many cases where the patients had been
bitten by dogs not afflicted with rabies.
1t was a practical admission that rabies
was mental disease and not originating
from a germ as is the theory of the
Pasteur advocates. DR.. Dulles fiayed the
doctors who perpetrate the belief in
rabies. saying that these beliefs were

He had met Mrs. Perkins half dozen

for weeks, but now that she had
dreamed of him he began to do some
thinking.
On the next Friday Mrs. Fletcher
called in to see Mrs. Perkins.
I'm just in hopes that you have
dreamed again, so that l can tell Mr.
Jackson" she said.
1--WE had one little dream. and it IS
foolish to relate il"

The widow didn't say.

There were two things Mrs. Fletcher
wanted right bad. She wanted to help

She knew it was an old COW, and that
her milking days were over. and that the
best thing about her was her fly -switcher,

No Danger of Beriberi
Spreading From Raider

Beriberi is neither contagious nor in
fectious, and there Is no danger Of a
spread of the disease through landing
of all of the stricken men aboard the
German sea raider Kronprinz Wilhelm,
according to Assistant Surgeon General
Rucker. of the Public Health Service.
Marine hospitals at Hampton will be
thrown open to receive all victims of
the disease II they are landed. he said.
There are sixty-siX persons aboard the
Wilhelm suffering from the disease. The
disease Is caused entirely by lack of
general diet. and plenty of good food
with rest and quiet usually brings
cure. The mortality Is not high.
The disease Is we'll known in the
Orient where 1t comes from a continu-
Gus rice diet. and the lack of nitrogen
Gus clements of food. The disease is
known In Mexico and occurs sometimes
in Newfoundland. Seafaring men the
world over are familiar with it.
There are two forms--wet and dry.
The wet form is marked by dropsy in
the logs and arms, and the dry causes s
them to wither. Both forms are mark
ed by extreme pain. The fingers can
not be moved apart and there is re-
striction of free action of joints in the
foot.
Berberi was brought aboard the
kronprinZ when provisions ran short,
and all on board were compelled to
SC5sist on rice.

Internment of Raider
Expected by Federal
Officials in Capital

lnterrTment of the kronprinz Wilhelm.
following her brilliant career as sea
raider and her clever entrance into
Hampton Roads, despite tho watching
English and French cruisers, is ex-
pected by officials here.
They believe that when the kron-
Irinz Wilhelm made for the American
harbor it was with tho intention of
following in the way of the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich.
Furthermore, officials are now con-
vinced that it was with no indefinite
object that the German liner Oden
wald tried to dash out of the harbor
of San Juan, Porto Rico. recently and
had to be halted with guns of Moro
Castle before her commander saw
American neutrality would be enforced
1t is believed that the Kronprinz Will
helm was some where in the West In
dian or Caribbean waters, waiting for
the coal and provisions the Odenwald
sought to carry to her.
This was strongly suspected a. the
time, since it was deemed incredible
that the commander of the Odenwald
would defy the orders of the Anne 40 IN
authorities unless there was serious
need for him to do so.
Would alive Had Food.
Had the Odenwald got out. the Ilron-
prinz Wilhelm would have got coal
and provisions, and would doubtless
have continued at sea for an indefinite
period. The fact that in her 25J da IS
at sea she destroyed fourteen enemy
merchant ships Is sufficient commen-
tary on the fact that it was worth
while for the German government 10
strain a point in order to try to keen
her on the ocean.
Whether Captain Thierichcns. of the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich. cherished some
hope that he also might slip out to sea
and aid the Kr0nprinZ Wilhelm is q
matter of opinion. II is considered
doubtful, since his ship was in no shape
! TO make good speed. though It Is not
| incredible that after tho OdenwalG
failed to get away the Germans may
: have considered the plan of having the
lGitel try to relieve the krOnprinz Will
helm with Coai and provisions.
That the uneaSiness felt here for some
weeks over German vessels slipping out
of New York or Boston with coal Ol
provisions and laden with supplies foI
the kronprinZ Wilhelm was justified
and that there Vas "A substantial rea
son for increasing the naval patrols of
New York and Boston are further
phases of the situation which fnd wide
credence in Washington, though Off
Cials do not say definitely that they
have had the krOnprinz Wilhelm II
