DOCTORS ARE SHY
They Refuse to Attend Small
pOx Case for City.
State Board of Health Comes to
the Rescue.

The condition of Frank Kiddo,
smallpox patient at the city detention
hospitAl was improved this morning
following the treatment by DR.. j. J.
Sippy last night.
The Kiddo case and the fact that
DR.. II. B. Wood, city physician, could
not legally look after the case, hav-
ing no physicians license, made APP
parent danger in the present meth
cd of handling the city health depart
ment and Commissioner w. l.. Porter
is working out plan to cover it.
When the information reached town
last night that Mr.. Kiddo was in bad
condition DR.. Wood could not answer
the call. 1t had been brought out full
ly during yesterdays proceeding, be-
fore the city commission, that until he
took out a license he could not prac-
tice medicine. DR.. Wood called up
half a dozen physicians and each in
turn declined to go to the detention
hospital.
They declined on the ground that
it might injure their practice said
Dr. Wood.
The matter was finally put up to:
Commissioner Porter and at a late
hour he secured permission from DR..
S. ]. Crumbine, secretary of the state
board of health, to send DR.. j. J.
Sippy, state epidemiologist. e
Not a Malignant Type.
DR.. Wood said today that Mr.. Kiddo
had reached the secondary stage of
the disease and should expect to suf-
! fer to some extent. He stated also
that the case was not of the malig-
nant type.
The state board Of health has been
consulted frequently by the city health
department with reference to the
method of handling the department
and in the present case probably will
not hesitate to continue to lend any
necessary assistance at the detention
hospital. DR.. Crumbine's attitude is
indicated by the following statement
regarding the city health department:
Now that the city of Topeka has a
real health officer for the first time
in its history, it would be a shame to
allow a political squabble among the
members of the commission to stop
his work. Commissioner w. L. Por-
ter's action in creating the position of
an all-time health officer is d long
step in the right direction and is in
line with his health work as commits
| sioner. Potter himself has done ex-
Cellent work for Topeka along the line
of protecting the public health. l
| don't believe half a dozen physicians
in the city are kicking on him.

honor Upon This Nation.
Banquet Children's Home So.
ciety This Evening.

With the decline of the New England
family there has been an increase in
the number of illegitimate and defec-
tive children in the United States, ac-
cording to Superintendent S. w. Dick
inson of Minnesota, in his speech be
fore the National Children's Home So
city this afternoon.
THE average child rates between
IS and IS on a basis of 100. In a
public school of 500 pupils not more
than 1 in 80 would stand a normal
test. Conditions are much worse in
London.
"One of the most beneficial things
to childhood" said Mr. Dickinson, sis
the maternity clinic. A multitude of
children would be saved from
adenoids. imperfect hearing, bad eye
sight decayed teeth and poor diges-
ton if their parents exercised common
sense. Public nurses are needed to
look after children and watch their
health. 1t has been proposed in Mime
sofa to establish system of visiting
nurses for rural districts.
Endorses DIR. Haiselden.
Notwithstanding the value of
human life, 1 believe that the Boil
linger baby doctor did right in elm
mating deformity and imbecility.''
In speaking the vanishing Yankee,
Mr.. Dickinson said: 'Ilegitimacy was
almost unknown and the mentally de-
ficient child very rare among the New
Englanders. From the time of the in

began the increase in the number of
illegitimate and deficient children.
The fact is noticeable in the south be-
cause it has not to such an extent been
affected by immigration. OF course
the idea of illegitimacy held by other
nations is very different from ours and
this may account for it.
While the women of the Anglo
Saxon races are refusing to bear fam
lies of more than one or two, the lower
classes among us are the productive
ones and it is largely in this social
and racial zone that we find the APP
palling amount OF sub normal chill

Sulphuric Acid

Arizona produces no sulphuric acid from its reduction of sulphide ores and great quantities of the material to make il. is sent into the atmosphere daily. The Calumet x Arizona at Douglas are now installing a plant for the manufacture of the acid for the treatment of its carbonate ore at the New Cornelia.
 The United States Geological Sur vey report on sulphuric acid production IS by-prOduct from zinc and copper smelting ir 1915 shows that zinc smell ters produced ASA, ,942 tons of 6O-de- gree acid, worth si.292 ,493. or $S.S5 per ton; copper smelters produced 360,552 tons of 50-degree acid, worth s2,749.- 633, or $763 per ton. Copper smelters also produced 59. 1S9 tons of concern trated acid worth s579,115. or s9.7S per ton. The total tonnage, reduced to 50-degree strength. equalled 1,O56,s3O ard was worth $7,621,241. The total srlphuric acid production from all sources in the United States in 1915 was 3,S6S,152 short tons of 50 degree strength, worth $29,S69,OS and 1S9,152 tons of concentrated acid worth s2,7S7,- 971, total Of sS2,657,05l. Zinc and copper smelters produced more than 25 per cen: total tonnage and nearly 70 per cent total values. Values are reckoned at prices actually contracted for and not open market prices which were much higher during the latter part of the year.

Jerome Verde

The nature of the work now being done at the Jerome Verde is pointed out by l.. L. Winkleman X Co of New York in their latest market letter as follows.
 Al the moment, particular attention centers on the development work or it's property now being prosecuted by inc United Verde Extension under an agreement said to be mutually advan- ta gcCus to both companies. The work tl be undertaken on the Jerome Verde property by the United Verde EXten- sion includes the running of a drift s0lth on the 1400-foot level until the boundary of the Jerome Verde is reached. It is stated they have but roo feet vet to go before this point is reached, and from the line of contin- uity between the two mines the direc- ton will he north.
 Judging from the general trend of the recent strike in the United Verde Extension. it looks as if the ore body wCulo pass through portion of Je- rome Nerde's ground. The company also contCmplates sinking a second shaft at about the center of it's prop crty. Engineers have been on the ground several weeks. determining the most advantageous point for the sink ing of this shaft.

The Iron Age of recent date con- tains an expose of the so-called Ger man secret substitute for manganese, the gist of which is as follows
 In smelting manganese ore into ferro manganese, there has always been considerable loss t20 per cent to , pc" cenD which runs off in the slag; and which loss is dependent up on the analysis of the ores and the ingredients necessary in their reduc- tion.
 It seems that the Germans are now working over all these old slag piles and are recovering considerable amount of manganese at an eXpens that would not be warranted under normal conditions. but with the price of manganese products several times normal it is TOW found to be prof itaHle operation. to which steel makers here may be obliged to resort. if the war should continue for further con- | siderable period.

Reserves are estimated at 235.000 tons, averaging 3.a per cent copper and $l.50 gold and silver Prospects for a large increa SC in tonnage are good. A new hoist of 2O00 1t capacity was erected The output was S2,1T1 tons, assaying 2.97 per cent copper and $1.40 in precious metals. This was an increase of 26,171 tons over that of 1914. The current year will also be greater. All mining charges were $2.629 per ton. The De- Soto mine was re-opened and fully equipped. producing S360 tons of ore, containing 3.5 per cent copper and Sl.j0 gold and silver The present out put is at the rate of 10000 tons per year. Reserves are 65,000 tons. Eight ore-shoots, none very large. are being mined, The future of this mine is also good
 The mill treated S1 544 tons of orc and tailing, averaging 2.S3 per cent copperf, with SS.6 per cent recovery Of this metal 62.5 per cent of the gold, and 70.5 per cent of the silver. There was produced 1?,S77 tons of 1922 per cent copper concentrate.
