LICE CAUSE TRENCH fever
Volunteers We're Inoculated to Make
Possible Scientific Tests.

Washington, June 1s.-Thru tests
conducted upon sixty-six volunteers
from American hospital and ambu-
lance organizations IN France, med
ical authorities have been able to de-
termine that trench fever. one OF the
most battling diseases affecting troops
on the western front, is spread by
germs carried by body lice. The de-
tails of the test and the story of the
bravery Of the American volunteers,
which, officials said, equal that of the
American soldiers who risked their
lives in order that the mystery of yell
low fever might be solved, is told in
report received from General PERISH
ing and made public by the war de-
partment.
ease could be found. and 1t was neces-
sary to call for volunteers. In Janu-
airy the volunteers were sent to a hos
pital behind the British lines and were
inoculated with blood or some con-
stituent thereof taken from trench
fever cases In one group % out of
"a developed the disease, while in
another test Is out of 16 were af-
fected.
Having thus proved trench fever is
germ disease, the medical staff be-
gan an investigation to determine the
way in which it was spread. The
body louise was first considered. Large
numbers of these were collected from
fever patients and allowed to bite %
men, IL of whom developed the dis
ease. Blood incubation caused the
disease to develop in from five to
twenty days and in the case of the lice
the fever required from fifteen to
thirty-five days to develop.
The men contracting the disease
lost from twenty TO twentv-five
pounds in weight. While they were
ill. the Germans bombed the hospital
in which they were being treated,
but they were not injured. The report
of General Pershing concludes by say
ing: 'It is believed by the army med
ical corps that the sacrifice of this
group of sixty-six men will in time
lead to the protection Of thousands of
men from the ravages Of trench
fever"

CHAS. SCOTT in TOWN
Candidate for U. S. Senator Well
Pleased With His Campaign.

Former Congressman Charles F.
Scott is in Topeka today and plans to
spend the remainder of the week in
the First district in the interest of
his campaign for the senate. Since
the first of January practically all of
Mr.. Scott's time has been occupied re-
spending to invitations to speak in the
interest of the Red Cross and other
war causes. He has made more than
seventy such speeches and has been
obliged to decline many invitations be-
cause of conflicting dates.
Last week was spent in the Third
district and the newspapers of the
three counties he visited gave much
space to the friendliest report of his
visit.
The Oswego Independent said:
Everywhere a most cordial well
come was extended to Mr.. Scott and
absolute assurances were given that he
was by great odds the favorite in the
race"
The Parsons Sun said:
Mr.. Scott finds more general sup
port in this county than does any of
his opponents"

Few Baseball Misplays Have
Newness Novelty.
Memo LeibOld Tells of His
Worst Setback.
BY H. C. HAMILTON.

New York, June 1S.-Famous bone
head plays have occupied the hilari-
Gus moments of baseball from the
time the game was in its infancy.
Their recounting is a source of much
joy to the old-time fan and to the old
time ball player.
Probably there never was a world s
series with such a predominance of
idiotic maneuvers as the last one, when
the White. Sox and the Giants seemed
to vie with each other in making
them, but there have been freak plays
without number in other games.
Lcibold Has One.
For instan e, Memo Leibold tells of
play in which Ray Chapman and he
figures, while both were members of
the Cleveland club.
Chapman was on third base, with
Leibold on second. Memo was trapped
too far off second and Chapman start
ed for home. where he promptly was
headed and started back for third.

lates, the players were SO Unanswered

Triple Put-Outs at Second.
Once upon time, with the bases
loaded in a minor league game, the
man on third base started for home
on passed ball. He was trapped
and caught at third base. In the
meantime the man on first had start
ed for second, and when an effort was
made to get him, the man on second
started for third. Heswas caught. The
man on first then made another effort
to reach second, with the result that
he supplied the final put-out of a
triple play at second base. The catcher
made the final put-eut at second base.

patch, said:
"Britain's Intervention meant a
world struggle between two world
views. Either German principles of
right, freedom, honor and morality
must be upheld: or Anglo-Saxon prin-
ciples of idolatry to mammon must be
victorious.

blade in the wrong relation to the
skin, scraping instead of a shaving

shave.
But they would enjoy it much
more if they would get the knack of
using the Gillette properly.
IF this isn't perfectly clear, or you
have the slightest trouble in get
ting the ''knack," talk to one of our
Service Experts or to your Gillette
Dealer, and let him tell you what's
what.
For the Gillette wants to help every
man in America to get what's COM
ing to hi1n-and what really belongs
to him-a 1000 efficient, velvet
smooth Gillette shave. The very
best shave in the world. No Strop-
ing-No Honing.
But if you're one of those Ginger
ing chaps" that's tagging behind the
modern shaving proposition, who
never tried the Gillette and don't
believe you could shave with it, ask
yourself this-and then answer it:
no you think that millions of men
L. in every corner of the globe
successful men who know the value
of time, cleanliness and real service
would use the Gillette if it wasn't the
very best shaving tool they could get
anywhere?
Do you think that the big men of
America-men who could afford any
kind of shaving service-would nearly
all use the Gillette if they knew Of
anything better3
The real fact is that the Gillette is
the best answer ever found to the
shaving problem, and if there is a
man anywhere who does not find the
Gillette Razor the best razor for him
it is solely because he has not caught
the simple knack Of using it.
