May Be Valuable Discovery.

1t has been ascertained that remov-
ing the spleen from mice makes them
much less susceptible to tuberculosis.
Though the explanation is not yet
clear, theory has been put forward
that this is due to substance called
acknowledgements, which possibly
has some affinity for the tuberculosis
germ. Such is the substance of a pa
per in the Journal of Experimental
Medicine, issued by the Rockefeller
institute for medical research, and the
implication in the findings Of DR.. Paul
A. Lewis and DIR. Arthur Georges
Margot OF the Henry Phipps institute
of the University of Pennsylvania.
The two investigators suggest the
name acknowledgements for the new
substance as suggesting merely its
origin and it's apparent relationship
to tuberculosis" Hardly anything Is
yet known of the properties Of tu-
berculo-splenatin.

tress at Leon and The Reporter is ex-
ceedingly wrathy over it, as we'll as
the other democrats of Leon and De-
catur county. She is the daughter OF
Lew Young and was born and reared
in Decatur county, but for the past
several years has resided in Des
Moines where she was candidate
on the republican ticket before the
primaries last June for the Office OF
county recorder, but she evidently
had a pull with the democrats OF
the Iowa delegation in congress and
secured the plum. There were two
candidates for the appointment at
Leon, either of whom would have
been acceptable to the democrats OF
that city and there was no fight or
bitterness over the contest either by
the candidates or their friends. What
is going to be done about it by the
sore and disappointed democrats of
Leon and Decatur county cannot
now be foretold but the political sky
in that vicinity looks lurid and omin-
GUS presaging a storm accompanied
