SUBSTITUTE FOR sALvARsAN.

american mas developed TWO SuDStl-
tutes for salvarsan. A group of Phila-
delphia scientists have brought out
one, which they call arsenobenzol. The
proceeds from the manufacture and
sale of this drug go toward the main
nance of an experimental labora-
tory and clinic. No one makes any
money out of the product.
1t may not be generally known that
the prevailing customs in Germany
permit the patenting of drugs. In this
country it Is the custom for the medi-
cal profession to give the methods of
manufacture, formulas, etc, t. the
cause of humanity. In a~ccordancc with
the German custom, DR.. Enrich pat
ented salvarsan in every land, includ-
ing the United States. When the Euro
pean war stopped the importation Of
salvarsan n neo-salvarsan, DR..
Schamberg, of Philadelphia, and his
associates began q series of expert
ments, searching to linda chemical
having the merits Of salvarsan, but
sufficiently unlike it not to infringe oE
the Ehrlich patents.
The outbreak of h var found u
large stool of salvarsan in this ccun-
try. The manufacturers agents han
died the situation with the best of faith
and with great skill. They declined to
advance the price. They exerted them
selves to see that INSCRIPTIONS parties
S1'SNiN I'M In 11lCJ
made the supply last as long as posi-
BILE. About the time it was exhausted
arsenobenzol came on the market.
Under the Canadian .atent law pat
ented articles must be manufactured in
Canada within two years else the pat
ent is forfeited to the government.
There is a provision of the law permit
ting an extension of the two year per-
NIT in cases where the patentee shows
the justice Of his claim. Acting under
the Canadian law diarsenoI has been
put on the market.
DR.. Ormsby says Of the American
preparation, ~arsenobenzol: "Arseno-
benZol, together with mercury, offers
as good a method of treatment of
syphilis as any heretofore used. In it's
uniform and nontoXic action arseno-
benZol commends itself as a remedial
agent Of great value in the treatment
of syphilis and it's successful prepara-
ton marks an achievement in Ameri-
can chemotherapy."
The effort to control syphilis as q
public health measure was getting I'M
der Roadway when the European war
broke out. It had been established that
when a dose of salvarsan was given
upon the very first sign Of the disease
appearing. a cure was effected within
a few days. By working for prompt
diagnosis and prompt treatment cases
could be made permanently oncon
tagious.
Even when treatment was delayed,
injection Of ~sa1varsan caused all signs
OF the disease to disappear at once. A
highly contagious disease became non
contagious for the time being. Repeat
ed often enough and combined with
mercury. the disease could be perma-
nently cured. Following out these pol
icies, the ravages OF the disease were
being lessened. The greatest Roadway
was being made with soldiers and sail
ors. but among civil populations there
was some gain. Just at this point the
supply Of salvarsan was exhausted.
/ Now we have arsenobenzol at our ser
vice.

WOULD ABOLISH
The CROP MORTGAGE
Is Greatest Obstacle to Profit
able Farming Says w.
B. Mann.

The next legislature should pass
law making it illegal to give a mort
gage on growing or prospective
crop, is the belief Of W. B. Mann of
Mariana, president of the Mariana
Cotton Oil Mill Company, president
of the Arkansas Cotton Seed Crush
ers' Association, member of the Ark
ansas Profitable Farming Bureau,
and himself a practical farmer.
Mr.. Mann says that the crop
mortgage is the greatest business
and social evil that confronts Ark.
ansas. He says:
Il believe that law which gives
man the right to mortgage a thing
that does not exist should be annull-
ed. There was some excuse for
such a law just after the Civil war
before our business and social re-
lations we're re-established. When
we had created citizens out Of slaves
in one day, yoke to guide 50 ieno-
rant and new a citizen who had ac-
quired no code of morals or honor,
mortgage and the right to make
him labor was necessary. This ex-
ieency does not exist today and
the mortgage is a hindrance in the
advancement of good citizenship.
The soil upon which the morteaged
crop is grown cannot be conserved.
is NEEDED NO LONGER
I'VE do not need the crop mort
gage because the science of aerl-
culture has so progressed, the in
formation pertaining to it so access
ible that one can produce a liveli-
hood from the soil more easily than
| it can be had from the store. Civ
ing a crop mortgage means making
arrangements to remain year be-
hind. The man who gives such a
mortgage has nothing to look for
ward to; he has no promise for his
family to stimulate their help and
cooperation. They cannot feel an
interest in the growth of a calf that
is sold on the auction block.
Riding along the road you can
tell the crop or stock that is mort
gagged. Neither the government,
great corporations nor philanthro-
pists can help the man whose crop
is mortgased. A few fortunes have
been made at a great cost to the
country under the mortgage system,
but the condition for the mortgage
has changed, and he must make a
change in the method of conduct
ing his business for the good Of
himself and of his country.
BOIL wEEvIL CREATES NEW SITUATION
The boil weevil is closing in on
us and the history of this pest in
dicates that il will soon infest the
entire cotton growine country
Would it not be better to quit TAX

rather than to keep up the old sys-
TEN until the day of calamity strikes
US with full forceY
There Is only one way to provide
against any pestilence, and that Il
to provide for the maintenance OF

crop and promise to advance him

S25 and 1t becomes known that the
weevi's have infested his cotton,
you will refuse to let him have the
