GUINEA PIGS ARE
DISCOVERED to- Be
CHOLERA CARRIERS

Manila, Sept. 24.-what is considered
by insular health officials as most i'm
portant discovery, has ben disclosed by
DR.. School Of the government bureau Of
science, who has been experimenting
with guinea pigs. His experiments have
shown that guinea pigs are intermittent
cholera carriers in that they can be in
oculated with the cholera germ and later
will throw of the germ. Then without
further incubation. a feeding Of bile
brings back the cholera germ.
These experiments, say local health
officials, explain remarkable conditions
which have been found to prevail at
Bilibid prison, the big insular prison in
Manila. During the slight epidemic Of
cholera which has been affecting several
provinces Of the Islands, inspections at
Bilibid have discovered cholera carriers
among prisoners who. on previous exam
ination, were found to be negative
Cholera infection appeared afterwards
when there had been no possibility Of
their exposure to the disease.
Cholera carriers are a big problem in
the Philippines, and through DR.. Schools
discovery, local health officials hope to
be able to solve the problem Of effec-
tually killing the propensity Of certain
individuals to harbor the deadly germs

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
When Saving Buffers
BY Frances Marshall

Copyright, 1916. by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
There are many Of US, who must be
economical. who yet dislike the various
butter substitutes: who. in fact. insist
on butter of the best quality.
And as winter comes on butter of the
best quality advances most alarmingly
In price. Obviously something must be
done to save butter.
The wisest method is to continue to
buy the best butter. and to serve it gen.
erously. But don't use it when some-
thing else can be made to take it's
place.
If dinner is an elaborate meal, butter
is not needed. Sauces on vegetables,
gravies on meats, oil in salad dressing,
all supply fat and at the same time
satisfy the taste so that butter on
bread is unnecessary. It is an easy
habit to form. that of not eating butter
with dinner. But If dinner is not elabo-
rate. butter has needed place in it's
menu.
For luncheon, sandwiches made Of
cheese or meat with gravy do not need
butter. and those made with jam thick
ly spread on are also quite satisfying
without the addition Of butter.
In cooking, various sorts of fat be-
sides butter can be successfully used.
Bacon fat is always good, for it's taste
is delicious. French toast Drowned in
bacon fat needs no butter, and tastes
even better than when Drowned in but
ter. E
Ham grease. too, can be used for
cooking. When fresh it is a very good
cooking grease. Various sorts of vege-
tables can be seasoned with it.
1t Is necessary always. in using fats
for cooking, to have them either fresh
or else carefully clarified. Ham fat or
bacon grease used within a day or two
need not be clarified and the. slight
meaty taste they retain is an added
flavor that is delicious.

German Toy Trade
Suffers Most from ;.
the European War

Berne, Switzerland. Sept. 24.-(Corre-
spondence Of The Associated Press).-
Perhaps no single industry in Germany
has suffered so much from the war as
that Of toy making. In the last peace year
Germanys toy-trade aggregated A.
!000, 900 marks or $35.000,000, of which
moro than twenty-five millions was ex-
port, and the larger part to America.
Since the war this figure has dropped
nearly two-thirds. What is worse still
for the German manufacturers, is the
fact that other countries have taken up
this industry. and the Germans will find
It very hard to recover their lost mar
kets
More than any other branch Of indus
try the German toy-trade sent its pro-
ducts throughout the world. It's first
development was after the Franco-Prus-
sian war but 1t was not until twenty-fiv
years ago that it's exports first assumed
very large dimensions. Before the war
not less than 100000 persons were en-
ployed in toy-making, mostly in Sax
ony around Nuremberg. 1t was largely
q homo industry and furnished work for
thousands Of women and children.
In 1918 the toy-exports to the United
States amounted to nearly $4,000. 900,
but since then, owing to the British
blockade. the volume of trade has sunk
to perhaps less than one-fourth Of this
sum. The neutral states, Holland. Dem
mark. Sweden ana Norway have bought
more toys but their increased trade has
failed to make up the losses Of the
transatlantic business. Austria-Hun-
home trade has been much better. But.
in spite Of all this, the total shrinkage
in the annual turnover is estimated at
between sixty and seventy per cent.
Tho shortage Of raw materials too has
caused the toy manufacturers enormous
Inconvenience and the enormous rise in
prices has injured their trade still more.
Tho war has caused the loss Of business

EFFECTS TO
REACH FUTURE
IN GENERATIONS

London. Sept. 24.-(Correspondence OF
The Associated Press).-What will be
the effect upon future generations Of the
premature aging Of millions Of mon now
at the battle fronts? Army physicians
and men Of science generally are begin
ming to discuss the problem. It is said
that soldiers ten months in the trenches,
exposed to the nerve-shattering shock Of
shell fire. often como out with the ap-
pearance Of ten years having been added
to their life. A shorter period than this
often suffices to turn gray the hair Of a
boy Of Is.
This premature aging is peculiar to
no ono nationality. 1t Is noticeably alike
along the English and French lines and
among the prisoners from Germany,
Austria and Russia. It Is said to be
perhaps . little more pronounced along
the eastern fronts where tho vast
amount Of territory involved frequently
