CHICAGO WOMAN HAS UNQlUE
FIELD HOSPITAL IN BELGIUM

Busbrugge, Belgium, oct. %
While rushing through Belgium three
cars full of officers and correspond
ents stopped at the unique field hos
pital conducted by Mrs. Mary Borden
Turner OF Chicago.
1t is constructed of portable sec
tions, electrically lighted from a plant
in a motorlorry, nine long wooden
buildings in all, with operating room
and N-ray plant, its own laundry,
and most of the features of a perma-
nent hospital.
When the party arrived American
ambulance drivers were removing
ten men who had recovered sufficient
ly to be taken to hospitals further
away from the firing line. After a

laws for the prevention and control of
disease.
The state board of health is being
called upon by individuals and com
munities in all parts of Oklahoma to
help fight diphtheria. All possible as
sistance is being given. Whether or
not a person is able to pay for diph-
liberia antitoxin is of no importance.
To such persons as may lie unable to
bear the expense of buying diphtheria
antitoXin, there is no charge. Nor does
this free service impose upon the indi-
vidual the embarrassment of making a
pauper affidavit. Any person who hon
estly informs the Board of Health that
his financial condition is such that the
cost of the diphtheria antitoXin treat
ment would be a burden upon his
family, will be given this treatment
without charge. Oklahoma taxpayers
could well afford to pay for this SER
vice, even if it were far greater than
its present cost. AS matter of fact,
however, the department of the state
board of health is rapidly becoming

self-supporting, from revenues derived
from licenses, etc, and the actual cost
to taxpayers is practically nothing,
The diphtheria antitoXin is one of the
greatest discoveries of science. If Civ
en- promptly to persons exposed to diph-
iberia, it will prevent the disease; if
given early in the course of the dis
ease, antitoXin will cure almost any
case of diphtheria; the longer treatment
do, but at any stage of the disease
it will greatly increase the patients
chance of recovery. In Richmond, Va
from 1875 to 1895, when the antitoXin
for diphtheria was unknown, the aver
age death rate from dphtheria was 52.6
for each 100000 population. In recent
years this mortality in Richmond has
dropped as low as three in 100000. In
1914 there were only four deaths from
diphtheria in Richmond.
In all cases where the possibility of
diphtheria is suspected, a competent
physician should be called at the ear
liest moment. A meteorological eX-
animation, which the state board of
health makes free of cost, should be
made at once. To obviate possible de-
lay, the physician should as quickly as
possible administer the antitoXin.
If antitoxin be injected on the first
day, the odds in favor of the patients
recovery are far better than 100 to
/. But if the antitoxin is not admin
istered until the fourth or fifth day af-
ter the disease has developed, even
incases of simple diphtheria, the odds
against recovery are estimated to be
higher than l to 6.
Diphtheria antitoXin is one of the SAT-
est and most harmless remedies known
to science. Following its use, rash
sometimes appears, but this is only a
temporary inconvenience. Heart fail ,
ure" is sometimes reported after the
use of the antitoxin, but this is not
because of the antitoXin but in spite of
it, and is substantial evidence that the
poison of the diphtheria germs had
done its work before the antitoXin had |
been given a chance to prevent the |
progress of the disease.

HOUSE OF CHINA
AND ITS BOY EMPEROR

Peking, Oct. Correspondence of
The Associated Press)-Shih Tao, the
guardian of the throneless imperial
house of China. recently held a con-
ference with Princes Chen and Ching
the near relatives of Hsuan Tung, the
boy emperor, after which announce
tions will the dethroned royal family
take advantage of the present monar-
chial movement in the hope of restor-
ing the deposed family to power.
Wholly apart from the monarcbial
movement promoted by the society for
the preservation of peace, there is a
movement in China to put the Using
dynasty back into power. 1t has few
adherents and has made little head
way for many years. However, the
imperial movement inaugurated in the
interest of President Yuan Shi-kai i'm
mediately prompted enemies of the
present administration to suggest that
if the empire be restored, the Tsings
should have their old throne.
This agitation created some uneasi-
ness among the members of the socie-
ty for the preservation of peace. AS
the little emperor is a prisoner in the
forbidden city, pensioned by the re-
public, there was no chance that his
family could conduct a plot and get
him away. Still talk of putting the old
dynasty on the throne was disconcert- |
ing, and the enemies of the govern

Healthy Old Age
Brings Happiness
Simple Remedy Promotes
Health by Overcoming Ten
dency to Constipation.

Advancing years impair the action
of the vital organs. Old age should be
the period of greatest happiness, but
good health is necessary. Constipation
Should not be tolerated-it is often the
direct cause of i'll health.
Headache, belching, biliousness,
bloat, drowsiness after eating and 9TH
er symptoms of constipation can be
readily relieved by the use of simple
laxative compound sold in drug stores
under the name of DR.. Caldwells Syr-
up Pepsin. Mr.. j. H. Bristol, 1412
Geddes Ave, Ann Arbor, Mich, who
is SO years old, say "Dr. Caldwelps
Syrup Pepsin is the best remedy |
ever used for constipation and | al

when : feel the need of it; it never

mild laxative preparation, positive in
its effect, acting easily and naturally

comfort. For over quarter of a cen
fury it has been the standard house

ment charge that the boy emperor's
relatives were practically coerced into
making the statement that the imperial
family would not avail itself of any
crisis which might grow out of the
mOnarchial agitation.
The boy emperor is now only nine
years old. He was less than five when
Empress Lung Yu abdicated the throne
in his name and placed it at the dispo-
sal of President Yuan Shi-kai On be-
half of the child, the empress, who is
now dead, made a pledge that no eff
fort would be made to restore him to
the throne. This statement of the
deceased empress has been reproduced
several times recently in newspapers
which are supporting the society for
the preservation of peace.
y Until the present monarchial move
ment was instituted, the boy prisoner
IN the Forbidden City was practically
forgotten, even in China. Under the
republic the imperial family has been
lost sight of as completely as the Ko-
rean emperor has disappeared in his
palace at Seoul where he is held a
prisoner by the Japanese.
The Empress Lung Yu stipulated,
upon abdicating the throne on behalf
of the baby ruler, that he was always
to retain the title of emperor. The title
has been his according to the pledge, !

"HoMING INSTINCT" IN BIRDS
Attachment to First Home Is Much
the Same as is Evidenced
in Humanity.

The habit of birds in migrating
South when winter comes on is in
fluenced by the need of finding suf-
ficient supply of food. AS food grows
scarce when winter approaches in the
farthest northern places where birds
live they naturally turn to the South.
where, their instinct tells them, food
viii be plentiful. The return of the
birds in the spring to their accustomed
haunts in the North is one of the evil
dences of their possession of an in
stinct which is also strong in man.
The environment in which bird or
human being is brought up generally
becomes a permanent part OF its ma
ture. Ornithologists have not yet
made il clear Just what enables the
bird to find its way back and forth TO
the same spot every year, and our
knowledge is confined to the fact OF
what the "homing instinct" does.
After they mate and build their
first nest and bring up their first fam
lily. birds cherish fondness for that
spot much the same as the attach
ment that man feels for his early
home. The spring migration of birds
is their joyful return home after a
temporary sojourn abroad to secure
