In lengthy report to physicians,
the Rockefeller institute announces
the discovery of n germ in the brain
and spinal cord of monkeys inoculated
with infantile paralysis. The organ
ism is said to be very minute, the
difficulties attending its artificial cul-
tivation and Identification being so
great that the discovery is as yet of
little value for the purpose of early
diagnosis of suspected cases. Mon
keys inoculated with the micro-organ-
ism, developed Il disease correspond
ing to infantlle paralysis in human be-
ings. From these experiments 1t was
determined that the mucous mem
branes of the nose and throat of per-
sons not sick with the disease may
become contaminated with the virus
and that without falling i'll themselves
they may become carriers of the dis
ease. 1t was found, In monkeys, that
the virus could be discovered six
months after incubation, and that dry
ing and mixing with dust did not de
stroy 1t.

DROPPING OF MIDDLE NAMES
A Two.Ply Title Found to Be More
Convenient Socially, Morally and
Financially.

This is the day of the two-cylinder
name, which fact has been proved by
cognomen connoisseurs who have
looked over every name at Harvard
and Inspected the persons to whom the
names belong. They learned that
some extremely nice persons have no
middle names at all, and seem to get
on rather well without them.
II Is assumed that the ever-grow-
ing trend toward efficiency is to be
blamed for the dropping of diversified
names, for IL has long been understood
that person with Il two-ply title need
not be especially embarrassed about u.
In the course of wealthy mans life
Il means the writing of about 10000,
900 useless words II he uses his mid
die name on checks and Endorsements,
and these things have got To be con
sidered.
The Porcelain club at Harvard, the
most exclusive organization Of it's kind
in the country. proves this year the
falling value of middle names. There
are fifteen members this year. and but
| five OF them are buriened with exces
| sive nomenclature.
OF course, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln had no middle names
but this evidence is considered as moth
ing mt Harvard compared with the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt hasn't Thai
one fact Is almost enough to wreck tn,
complicated title system at the uni
versity.

why WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkharn Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine7" "Are they truthful 2"
"Why do women write such letters1"
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote IL.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts Of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. Is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of
the worst forms Of female ills, from dis
placements. Inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.

GUARDING HEALTH OF MIuTIAMEN
SURGEON-GENERAL'S GREAT TASK
COL Henry p Birmingham Who Made the Health Record With
10000 Men Of the ManeWer Division at San Antonio
Tells How 1t is Done-First Obligation OF Sanitary
Corps Is to Keep Men Fit for Duty

New York.-The surgeon general Of

cal officers have suddenly had placed
upon them the additional responsible
ity for the health and physical well
fare of approximately 100000 men,
nearly oil green and unseasoned, com

forming this new task Is n matter OF
deep concern to the relatives and
friends of the Guardsmen.

camp of the maneuver division of
10000 men at San Antonio In 1914 and
later the military expedition at Vera
Cruz free from contagion and the men

men In such physical condition that
they will be at all times fit for duty,
and since In the natural course of
