toxins developed by the red blood
corpuscles would, in the nature of
things, be liberated into the blood
plasms. But there would doubtless
be a good many compounds formed
that could not advantageously be
thus disposed Of and possibly it is
to meet the complications thus intro
duced that the body has developed
the custom of destroying vast quanti-
ties of the red blood corpuscles con-
stantly in the liver, where the refuse
matter they contain may be promptly
eliminated In the form of bile.
The red corpuscles have an i'm

One legion of cells co-operates with

Dealing with the Germs

Since germs and microbes are
made up of albumens just as meat,
eggs and vegetables are, and also
form hormones or internal juices and
enzymes-ferment-of their own, ma
ture has endowed the blood with
these very counterparts to conquer
them just as the stomach conquers
foods. Pasteur, Metchnikoff and Put
ter all anticipated Drs. Williams and
Beveredge in these discoveries, but
their new experiments tend to re-en-
force the previous knowledge
TIL white corpuscles deal with the
unbroken proteins with which they
come in contact, whether they be Of
bacterial or dietetic origin. The red
corpuscles deal with the partially
cleaved molecules of protein. In
other words, it is the business of the
white corpuscle to break down or
cleave the protein molecules.

Wonders of the Blood Corpuscles

Just as an atom ofhydrogen gas has
billions Of space units between its
thousands Of electrons, so red-blood
or a white blood corpuscle is capable,
according to these new and startling
researches, of making different chem
icals and necessities Of life. When
you recall that one drop of blood con-
tains many hundreds of thousands of
red and white corpuscles, the feats
Of these blood units can begin to be
appreciated.
Red blood and white blood corpus
cles are made by the spleen, the
bone marrow, the blood itself and
even the liver and other tissues occa-
sionally take part in "hemopoesis" or
blood making.
The duodenum or upper part OF the
intestine receives the products of d.
gestion from the upper part of the
intestine. A substance, "secretin," is
produced by the duodenum under the
direct stimulus of the acid of the
stomach. "Secretin' is one of group
of substances called hormones. A
hormone is a substance formed in

Bulgaria's Wonderful Record
in the Cultivation of Roses

white globules-the attar-which, be-
ing lighter than the liquid, gradually
rise to the surface and are carefully
skinned off.
The planning of a rose garden is
described as being much like that of
a vineyard. The soil is prepared by
careful tilling and fert1lizing, bitches
being dug in rows a foot and a half
in depth and width, and yard and q
half apart. The shoots are planted
in the bottoms of these bitches in a
mixture of soft earth and fertilizer,
and within a year the bushes are
about foot high.
In Bulgaria but two varieties Of
roses are cultivated, the red Rosa
Damascena,' and the white, Rosa
Alba which are combined in the
process of distillation; but the red
rose, which resembles the French
Rose du Roi," is richer in perfume
and essence than the white. In the
Rose Valley, where, before the war,
there were some 10000 acres of gar
dens. the atmosphere of the entire
district was charged with perfume
when the roses were In bloom.
Several conditions are essential for
the cultivation of the rose and the
production of the altar: the soil must
be easily permeable to water; the
bushes must be protected from the
cold north winds of the winter; there
must be no excess of unreasonable
rain and no early and excessive
droughts. These conditions all ex-
listed in the Rose Valley" where, it
Is said, the rose throve before the
war as in no other spot on earth.

cules are frequent visitors to the

unweleome and their disposal is a
matter of urgent Importance. There
are many types of these protein

toxic substances are sure to be liber-
ated. The question of the disposal
of these invaders becomes compli-

for instance. when they break up or

~ULTIvATING roses from which
is distilled the costly perfume
known as "attar of roses" is
said to have been Bulgaria's most
ancient and attractive industry be-
fore the present war.
About 10000 acres, II is estimated,
have been devoted to rose culture in
Bulgaria, the annual harvest yielding
35,ooo.oo0 to 100000 pounds. or
about s,oOo,0Oo,o0o roses. A one-acre
garden under favorable conditions
produces 1000 to $500 pounds of
roses, from which 10 to Is ounces of
altar of rose may be distilled. Gen
orally $50 to 200 pounds of roses will
produce one ounce of the altar; there
are about 200 roses to the pound. The
total production of the altar varies
with the seasons, but it formerly av-
eraged $4,000 ounces.
Nearly all Of the altar Of rose pro-
duced in Bulgaria has been export
ed, the largest markets, before the
war, being Paris. London and New
York. The average price, prior to
the war, was S12 per ounce.
The roses, gathered by women and
girls, are carried to the nearby dis
tillery, spread out In cool, cemented
chambers, and distilled the same
day. The gathering continues from
daybreak until 10 or II o'clock, or, If
the day Is cloudy, for an hour or two
longer-roses gathered in hot sun
have comparatively feeble odor and
yield but little essence. In times of
rapid harvests the flowers are often
SO plentiful that they overtax the ca
pacity of the still and have to be
thrown away.
The alembic, or still, is usually OF
the simplest construction; convex,
timed copper boiler, narrowed at the
top to neck on which Is affixed a
spherical head. It Is about 31a feet
high, the diameter at the widest part
being about ~ feet. From the head

STAR SPANGLED BANNER

urgent request of long suffering pub
lie the motion picture theatres OF
Atlanta are now kindly refraining from
playing the Star Spangled Banner ev-
cry time an actor waves the flag on
the screen, thus relieving the audience
of the awkward necessity of getting to
their feet about dozen times in the
course of a single performance.
OF course it was no lack of patriotism
that prompted the protests against the
Star Spangled Banner being worked
overtime. 1t was simply case of sell
defense. The orchestra would strike
up the national anthem and the audi
ence would rise, and then the orchestra
would suddenly break off the tune and
the audience would sit down. This
rising and sitting would occur repeat
eddy in the run of every film. 1t got to
