Another Every Rare" Disease.

A notion apparently prevails that an
thraX is one of the most uncommon and
obscure Of all diseases, for once justifying
that well worn headline, Doctors Puz-
lied" The second case reported from
Bellevue Hospital in four days has caused
many EXPLANATIONS of unreasonable as
tonishment-unreasona though it is
true enough that two were hardly to be
expected in so brief a period. Anthrax is de-
scribed, fairly enough, by one reporter as
IAN uncommon and generally fatal dis
ease: more questionably by another as
Extremely rare among human beings;
incorrectly by a third as "a rare and in
durable cattle disease of the South, y
and quite absurdly by a fourth as zone of
the most unusual diseases known to
science"
To speak Of it as extremely rare in
man is AN eXaggeration. 1t is common
enough to have won the popular title of
"wool sorters' disease 1t is certainly not
rare among animals, nor is it peculiarly
disease of the South. On tne contrary,
it is the most widespread of all animal
plaques; it is known as well in the Polar
regions as in the tropics; nor are TEN
perate climates by any means exempt. AT
one time in France the mortality among
sheep from this cause alone amounted to
about 10 per cent, and the loss was esti-
mated at from 20,O00,000 to 10000 zoe
francs a year. 1t is therefore sufficiently
/ plain that it is not one OF the most IN.
usual diseases known TO science. Nor is il
one of the most OBSCURE for it happens
to be one of the first of its kind to be
really understood.
One of PaSteur's greatest triumphs is
associated with the prophylaxis of an
thrax. The farmers for the most part
had no faith in his vaccine. He contrived
however, to secure fifty sheep for demon.
stration OF these twenty-five were inocu.
lated; the other twenty-five served as con-
trolls 4 few days later all Of the sheep
were infected with a virulent strain OF
anthrax and results were awaited. The
outcome was sufficient TO convince the most
skeptical. Every one of the twenty-five
/ that were protected recovered; the rest
were all dead within fifty hours. From
that day the difficulty was TO turn out
enough vaccine from the laboratory TO sup
/ ply the demand from all parts of the
country. This is one of those famous tri-

itor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Some time ago the Italian government
let the women of the nation know that it's
soldiers who are sighting 5000 and 10000 feet
up in the mountains needed $4,000 900 pairs
of woollen socks, as well as several millions
of woollen mttens and woollen sweaters.
Italy has made no appeal of any kind for aid
to others than her citizens | am quite sure,
however, that there are thousands of Amer-
can women who feel themselves in debt TO
her. and II any one Of them would like to
send one pair, dozen pairs or a hundred
pairs of woollen socks for the Italian soldiers
use shall be happy to forward them to my
friend. Nine. Daballa. wife of the Italian gen.
eral IN Turin. who will see that they are put
to good use. They should be of large size.

Not Whether, bat When.

70 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter signed IF. b. W. in this
morning. Tribune kindly Classics the ele-
ments organized for suffrage. Where do
President Wilson, Secretary of War Garri-
son and President Hibben f Princeton Uni
versity come in? In the last ten days |
have been present at three gatherings OF ac-
countants, men conservative by nature, train
ing and work. Three straw votes taken We're
AZ, 81 and 2O-6 in favor of suffrage Those
opposed were regarded as lacking" Perhaps
"F. b. W" can take comfort in the New Jersey
opposition led by Mr.. Nugent and his
stalwarts.
A letter signed American Woman" asks;
"Since when is it a precedent in American
politics TO besege and mportune the officials
OF our Federal government for promise OF
their support in state issues"
The answer is: Since July 4, l776
Mr. Austin K Wardwell writes down from
Willamstown, Mass, lovely college town
with factory district at one edge, that
woman suffrage will merely double the
majorities by which the ignorant men con-
troll the cities and make a bad matter worse
Why Is it. then. that the men who have
bettered city government in New York,
Toledo. Chicago. Cleveland. Denver. etc, etc.
are generally in favor of woman suffrage
Are Whitman and McAneny Mr.. WardwelPs
notion Of the ignorant men who control
cities?
To one born and raised in the West. where
women now vote, there is something pitiful
in these self-deluding sham arguments by
which the "antis" try TO escape from the
pressure and the responsibilities of the
world that now is. Women are in our modern
community life in il 70 stay, and the ques-
ton il not whether they are 10 vote, but
when. II is time to stop chopping this stale
straw and 20 get busy in the work of estab-
fishing better community life.

one of the gentlemen told me he could have

pistol, but had he done so the law would

these authorities than for the personal but

Cabinet member. The former are unin-

sides. are able and willing to advance sound
reasons for their views

Where the Interest Lies.

The increase in registration hgureS over
those of last year is distinctly gratifying.
In Manhattan the total is below that of
any wear since 1911. but that is to be
accounted for, doubtless, by the fact that
population in the present New York
County is giving way before lofts and
office buildings. The Bronx, Brooklyn,
Richmond and Queens all show gains over
last year, when there was state ticket
in the field; and in the case Of these grow
ing boroughs, save Brooklyn, the reglstra-
ton is higher than at any time in the
last five years.
This shows a healthy interest in the
result of the election which gives the lie
to any notion that this is an "off year
politically. Woman suffrage and the adop-
ton of the new constitution are the is
sues which are attracting public atten-
ton; though some credit must be given
TO the fact that in New York and Kings
counties there are lively fights to keep
the Tiger and its Brooklyn ally away
from the prosecutors offices. 1t Is bound
to be highly encouraging to all citizens
DESTROYS Of good government to find the
emphasis thus laid on abstract issues,
lacking the glamour Of candidates person
alities. 1t really seems as if the voters
were becoming willing to take an interest
in important questions of government, in
stead of staying away from the polls

The London Gazette.
oFrom The Dundee 4Jrcrtiscr

IRON The Dindcc 4drcrfiscrJ
That official organ, the London Gazette y
is of more than ordinary interest these days.
On September 8, 1866. a special number Of
the Gazette" was issued, the reason being.
as described in its frst paragraph. THE or
binary course of this paper having been in
terrupted by sad and lamentable accident
of fire lately happened in the City of London,
il hath been thayht ft for satisfying the
minds of so many OF His Maiestes good sub
jects, who must needs be concerned for the
issue of so great an accident. TO give this
short but true account OF IT," The first
number had been published on November II.
1865, when the court was at oxford on ac-
count OF the great plague, and the paper
was therefore called at first the oxford
Gazette" With its twenty-fourth number.
however. il became the London Gazette" by
which name il has been known ever since.
The word Gazette" is said to be derived
from the name of small Venetian coin.

was the price of the first newspaper published
in Venice during the sixteenth century.

Physicians Prescription
For Indigestion
Important for All Those Who Suffer
After Eating.


If you suffer from indigestion after
eating and find that instead of the one
little pepsin or soda pill you used to
take, il now needs two or three to
stop it, it's time you called halt and
did some hard thinking.
The plain truth is that there are
thousands of men and women in this
country whose stomachs are dead or
dying from lack of exercise while they
themselves still live. They can't go
on this way much longer. It's won
derful to think that powerful drugs
compressed into a pill will even for a
little while do the work of a human
stomach. But no pill was ever made
that could do it for long.
A dead stomach can't be brought to
life, but a slowly dying stomach can
and must or its owner must soon fol-
low. Years ago famous physician
wrote the prescription for Mi-o-na
Stomach Tablets and thousands owe
their very life to them today Most
stomach remedies work on the food
and. digest IT, Mi-o-na works on the
stomach and digests nothing Mi-o-na
Tablets strengthen the stomach walls,
stimulate the stomach muscles and
vitalize the stomach machinery into
instant and normal action. The stom-
ach starts at once to churn its food
and normal. painless digestion fol-
lows. Chas H. Scarborough and many
other leading druggists hereabouts
sell Mi-o-na Tablets, agreeing to re-
/ fund money in any case where il
does not do these two things. First

burn, gas, belching, aeidity, sour ris-
ing, etc. Second, in thirty days com

how anxious the Health Teacher was to

do he made this proposition. He said:

If the remedy cures me the money be-

him to report results at least once a

Here is a record kept of the report:
After first week-No improvement
whatever in any shape or form.
After second week-Still no improve
ment and getting discouraged.
After third week--Pains are scattered
more, but not quite so severe as for

Washington. May 29.-Attention

as the result of President Wilson'S
determination to warn the Mexican
leaders that conditions in the southern

was awaited with the keenest interest
here. Its contents are known only to
officials who decline to reveal what 1t

ton of any faction is not contem-
plated.
Possibility of intervention was
heard again as the result of the new

peals issued by the Red Cross, urg-
ing contributions to relieve destitute
people in Mexico.
After comforting with Duval West,
just back from Mexico, President Will

would be no change in his Mexican
policy. But more recent events brought
about his determination to act.
1t was said that that present action
was not intended to assist one of the

effect, that they reach a prompt So
