G'ANNlE'S
LOCKERS
BY FANNIE FILM

"They are darlings!' They're
dears," and Don't YOU wish that
you could take all of the cunning
things home" were some of the
remarks that passed among the
audience who saw the Winnipeg
Riddles last night.
And they were. Not for weeks
or months, has there been a clean
er, cleverer and more pleasing
show at the Tacoma theater than
the offering of these 10 petites.
The girls are little beauties,
natural, graceful and full of the
life and vitality of youth. The
boys are sturdy little chaps, just
the kind that every mother in the
audience wanted her little Johnny
to be like, bright, loyable, bril-
liant and we'll bred.
Little Jackie Finesilver, the boss
of the show, threatened at the
Opening to walk away with all the
honors, winning an immediate
spot in every warm and cold heart
by his lOvableness.
The Winnipeg Riddles will be
here until Thursday night with
daily matinee. The show Is so
good that the only thing left for
every one to do is go and see them
and give these tots the welcome
to Tacoma that they deserve.
Altho only six years old, Baby
Marie Osborne, Pathe star, earns
an average of $500 a week.
Bessie Love has designed a serv-
ice bar pin for women relatives of
American soldiers to wear.
Maciste is still at the Liberty
theater, strong arming his way
thru several reels of film.
Maciste is undoubtedly a giant
land a veritable mountain of
strength, but the play is Italian
and the Italian sense of the chro-
biological and of the congruous is
so different from that of the
American, that at the conclusion
of the film the audience sits and
wonders what it has all been
about.
The Pan bill is very good this
week.
There wasn't exactly commo-
|tion, nor was there excitement
Tuesday evening outside the
Liberty theater, but we might
suggest without fear of violent
there was a little
|"curiosity" expressed on the faces
of quite a number of passersby.
And, of course, there was a rea-
son, too.
Ralph Madsen, 81, wasn't tall

DEADLY GERMS
They Are Not for Enemies,
But to Protect Soldiers
From Disease.
By FREDERIC ]. HAsKTy.

Washington, D. c.. May 9.-The
breeding, raising and. packing for
shipment OF high grade disease germs
is wartime industry which has not
attracted much public attention. but
is nevertheless Of the first import
ance- 1t is carried on here in Wash
ington at the laboratory Of the army
medical school. which is now produc-
ing millions Of typhoid germs every
day.
No; these. germs are not for the
Germans; there is no frightfuluess
involved. They are all used for max
ing the vaccines with which every
american lighting man must be in
oculated against typhoid and two sub
species Of that disease.
The typhoid bacilli which are bred
for the use Of the American army, are
the very best in existence They be-
long TO an old English family. having
been Isolated by the British army
from case OF typhoid at Netley. Eng.
II years ago. These bacilli are known
as the Rawlings strain" Rawlings
being the name OF the man from whom
the germs were taken. and who
achieved fame and possibly immor-
tally in this unique manner.
The Rawlings bacIIH make bet
ter vaccine than any other typhoid
germs IN the world. and a thor
Oughbred Rawlings bacillus is
an aristOcraf among germs and
highly prized.
The laboratory OF the army medical I
school manufactures all the typhoid I
vaccine used by the United States I
army. navy and marine corps. It also I
manufactures two kinds Of para-ty- I
phoid vaccines. which are now com
bined with the typhoid injection given |
to every American soldier and sailor.
Para-TyphOid and Typhoid.
During the American occupation Of ]
the Mexican border there was an cpl
demic OF para-typhoid, and in 1915 an
epidemic Of the same disease occurred I
among the British troops in Flanders.
Il was discovered that two distinct
germs were responsible for para
convenience designated
Para a" and Para B"-and that the
familiar typhoid germ had nothing
to do with it
Consequently, an incubation against
the typhoid germ does not prevent a
man from contracting para-typhoid.
Separate vaccines, therefore. must be
prepared
As might be supposed. the manufac-
-ure Of such a vaccine fluid is a COM
1licated process, and. even to the un-
scientific an extremely interesting
