SERUM FOOR RAT-BITE FEVER
Japanese Physicians Declare Cure Is
Obtained From Veins of Persons
Who Have Recovered.

\ group of eminent Japanese doc
tors has been busy studying rat-bite
fever ever since Futaki, IshiWara and
their associates reported two years ago
the discovery of the microbe that
causes 1t. This is spirochete. so
called because It's form is spiral or
ztg-zag. Several types of this spiro-
chete were found In men who had been
bitten by rats. and in guinea pigs that
had been experimentally inoeulated.
These were identified by Futaki as in
all probability identical.
Doctors Renjiro, Kaneko and Kikuzo
ol1uda of the Imperial university In
kyushu, Fukuoka, Japan, contribute
TO the Journal of Experimental Medi-
cine a confirmation of Futakfs belief:
Doctor Ryokiehi Inada contributes u
description of the disease Doctors Yu-
TAXA lido. Rokuto Holt, Hiroshi Ito and
Hidetsune Wani describe experiments
that prove the rat TO be the common
carrier Of the Spiroeheta ieterohaemor-
rhagiea, as the mierobe of the disease
Is called and Doctors Yutaka lido, Hi
roshi Ito Hldetsune Wani and Kikuzo
0kuda discuss the possibility Of pro-
dueing immunity.
The latter go into details of their
experiments and come to the eonelu-
sion that the "serum of persons who
have recovered from rat-bite fever CON
tains an immune body which destroys
the spirochetes of that disease"
The Importance of these articles lies
in the final proof that this spirochete
is the cause of the fever, that rats are
the carriers, and that the disease can
be cured.

home small parcels for themselves
Repulation shopping bags, smaller than
knitting bags, are made of ribbons and
handsome fabrics ard are destined to

The Regimental Dog.

The regimental dog has always been
a favored animal in the United States
armies, whether regular or volunteer.
Champ Clark, it will be recalled, by re-
viving southwestern folk song, re-
lating to the unwisdom and bad taste
of "kicking my houn' dog aroun',"
aroused new interest in that particu-
lar animal, and the Second regiment
of Missouri adopted one as its mas
cot" Since then the organization has
been known as the "Houn' Dog Regi-
ment." Recently wealthy lady pre-
scented the men with fine specimen OF
the species. Great Dane, Maltese
blue in color and weighing 210 pounds.
1t is unnecessary to say that few lib
critics will be taken with this "houn'."

Pillow Sham Holder.
at Christmas I

The feature of the pillow sham
holder, which is the invention of
New York woman, is that it makes
use of the familiar push pins as a
means of holding the shams in place.
A rectangular frame is provided, but
the upper portion has a piece of cork
for the reception of the steel points.
When these are once in place, it is not
necessary to disturb them until 1t is
time to take the linen off the frame to
conSign Ii to the waShtub.

Our infantry made rushes across the open the ground being very exposed. heed ing neither the enfilade fire of the guns nor the spasmodic machine-gun fire.
