SERUM FOR RAT-BITE FEVER
Japanese Physicians Declare Cure 10
Obtained From Veins of Persons
Who Have Recovered.

A group Of eminent japanese doc
tors has been busy studying rat-bite
fever ever since Futakl, Ishiwara and
their associates reported two years ago
the discovery of the micrObe that
causes it. This Is q spirochete, So
called because Its form is spiral or
zg-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 inoculated.
These were identified by Futaki as In
all probability identical.
Doctors Renjiro, Kaneko and Kikuzo
Okuda Of the Imperial university In
Kyushu, Fukuoka, Japan, contribute
TO the Journal of Experimental Medi-
cine confirmation of Futaki's belief !;
Doctor Rokichi Inada contributes a
description of the disease; Doctors Yu-
TAXA lido, Rokuto Holt, Hiroshi Ito and
Hidetsune Want describe experiments
that prove the rat to be the common
carrier Of the Spirocheta icterohaemor-
rhagica. as the microbe of the disease
is called; and Doctors Yatuka lido, Hi
roshi Ito, Hidetsune Wanl and Kikuzo
Okuda discuss the possibility of pro-
ducing immunity.
The latter go into details of their
experiments and come to the conclu-
sion that the serum of persons who
have recovered from rat-b.>e 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

Enforcing Child Labor.

Enforcing Cnilo LABOR.
State factory inspectors are being
greatly aided by county superintend-
ents of schools through the state in
enforcing the child labor law and also
are receiving cooperation from the
manufacturers and other employers.
Inspector Theodore N. Hoepfner has
announced that the greatest obstacle
in enforcing the law is due to the ig-
norance of the children and their par
ents as to the proper course to pursue
in establishing the right of the child
to work and, in some cases, ignorance
on the part OF the employers.
