Averting Appendicitis.

What produces appendicitis is still
much of a mystery, in spite of all
the supposed causes that have been
discovered and announced in recent
years. The idea which persisted long
est was that fruit seeds. or some other
foreign materials eaten with food,
made all the trouble. Though it is
still believed that such foreign matter
does induce a few cases, the proper
ton from this cause is not now be-
lieved to be large, and the hunt for
others is still energetic.
The latest discovery is that there is
often an apparent connection between
a sore throat and appendicitis. There
is some reason to believe that occa-
sionally the germs which make the
trouble in a case of sore throat later
become ambitious and seek to find
other opportunities to stir up trouble
and land in the appendix.
DR.. Z. c. Rosenow, Of Chicago. a
leader in the study OF a number of
diseases. has definitely discovered
in many cases of appendicitis a GER
tain family Of germs associated with
various diseases-especially with
throat infections He has also found
that common germ, B. coli, which
turks in the intestines, in every case
of appendicitis.
Experiments by Doctor Rosenow
brought out the surprising fact that
these germs, which may be called
sore-throat germs, seem to have in
some instances a noticeable affinity
for the appendix: so that many would
hurry to the appendix instead of re-
manning in the infected region of the
throat The inference is that appen-
dicitis often may be the second stage
of throat infection. 1t has long been
known that an unusual number OF
cases of appendicitis may be reported
at the same time when sore throats
are common in community.
II the inferences from Doctor Rose
now's discoveries are backed up by
further experiments and experience.
immense benefit will follow. Most
people are quite willing to take simple
precautions to preserve health. as was
proved by the national distrust of
grape seeds that followed the theory
of seeds as a cause of appendicitis.
Therefore. If it is established that an
infectious sore throat may start appen-
dititis. more prompt attention will be
given to the first trouble; and so the
number of cases of appendicitis will
surely be reduced.-Saturday Evening

Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
June 30.-Receipts of cattle were
moderate yesterday, about $500 head
arriving. There was a good, healthy
undertone to the fat cattle trade and
prices were mostly 10c higher than
Monday. Both yearlings and heavy
cattle sold up to 1895, the high point
OF the season. Trade in COWS and
heiiers was in very fair shape and
anything good enough to attract com
petition sold to better advantage than
on Monday. Veal calves continue in
moderate supply and active demand at
fully steady figures, and there was
broad outlet and firm market for bulls,
stays, etc. Trade in stock cattle and
feeding steers presented no particu-
larly new features yesterday. There
was a good inquiry for good to choice
stock and for anything attractive
prices were well sustained. On the or
dinary run of light and medium weight
stuff. however. it was dull trade and
the trend of values downward.

 T started producing battle films tke day after the war broke out. for I
 realized that actual views of the struggle would be almost impossible to obtain. as cinema men at the front are objects of suspicion and are ar rested on sight. England declared war against Germany on August 4.
 and on the following day 1 journeyed to the village of Irthlingborough, in
 Northants, where l produce most of
 my war pictures. The country there. with it's rolling plains. hills and val lleys, is ideal for depicting battle scenes Also number of iron fac tories are in the vicinity, from which I can obtain all the supers l require 1 for my temporary armies. They act | in their spare time and all day Sundays. I employed thousand supers from the iron factories when
 producing the film picture of the | Battle of Waterloo That film cost
 over e2,OOO to produce, but it was
 worth it. for the English rights
 alone sold for e5,000. It was the
 first big battle picture to be filmed
 and for that reason I think I car | claim to be the pioneer of this type of cinema picture.
 1 Last August the war fever had got the villagers in Northants in it's ! grip. and they flocked to take part
 in my films. With some difficulty
 I obtained a motley collection of uni

Making Battle Films.

Here is story giving a lot of interesting information regarding the making of moving pictures of the great battles now taking place in Europe. It is taken from an inter view given to London ''TitBits" by Charles Weston, and is well worth the reading:
 No. I've not been to the front" said Nr Charles Weston, as. with the aid of a stick. he raised himself with difficulty from d chair to greet the ''TitBits'' representative. 'l have only been playing at war for the last six months. but l can claim to have had as strenuous time as many 'Tommies' in the trenches. Producing war films is hardly a drawing room occupation. as you will realize when l tell you about few of the injuries I have had with trying to put realistic thrills irto battle scenes. My hearing has been ruined and l have to wear ar tificial eardrums: my nose has been broken: the hair on my face has been completely scorched off by the flame of exploding gunpowder; the bone of my right leg has two silver
