Germany Aims to Dominate Scandinavia

in obtaining patents in the United
States.
One of the most important tri'
umphs has been in the final discov.
cry of the wholesale process of max.
ing Salvarsan, or, as it is now called
in this country, Arsphenamine. This
is the synthetic drug discovered by
German chemists for the cure Of a
malignant blood disease. When the
war came the foreign supply was en-
tirely cut off. The price Of the dose,
which in normal times was $3.50,
went up for time to $40 and be-
came practically prohibitive.
Major General Gorgas, the Sur
econ General of the army. testified
before a committee of Congress that
10000 doses of the drug were re-
quired annually for the United
States Army alone. Purely as mill
tary need. it was necessary to OBJ
tain a supply for this country at al
most any hazard.
Under American treaties with
Germany patents of such staples had
nine months in which they could go
on with their business before any
steps could be taken by this govern
ment to take over such patents for
the welfare Of the people of this
country The trading with the enc
my act dealt with the matter COM
prehensively, and the federal trade
commission proceeded to work out
the complete conquest of the secret
of making Salvarsan. The problem
was so cunningly disguised in the
descriptions set forth in the patents
taken out in the United States that
it took months to decipher them.
In the drug named the mother
substance yellow powder was it.
self patented. This powder must be
mixed with a liquid which was also
separately patented. Then there was
a patent on the resulting product
and on the process by which the
powder and the liquid were mixed.
The yellow powder must not be
exposed to oxygen or it will volatil-
ize with the rapidity of an explosion.
1t is necessary, therefore, to contain
it in a glass ampule with one at
mosphere of hydrogen. This con-
tainer is patented.
The remedy is introduced intra-
venously in the arm when it is con-
verified to liquid. Even this method
is patented
Besides all these interlocking pat
ents issued TO one or more persons,
the practice has been to use a trade
mark and this has been taken out in
the name of still another person not
named in the patents.
Add to this intrcacy of protection
the further fact that purposely the
Germans have withheld some one
substance or process in producing
the drug and an idea may be had to
the problems with which the
'sleuths' of the American chemical
laboratories have been confronted.

Good Kidney Medicine

For the past fourteen years we have
been selling Dr. kilmer's swamp Root,
and we can not recall single instance
where it has failed to accomplish bene-
fetal results in the diseases for which
it is so highly recommended. 1t is a
remedy that always brings satisfactory
relief to those who use it and they al
ways speak in the highest terms re-
garding the results obtained.
Very truly yours.

Dreadful Couch Cured.

A severe cold Is often followed by
rough cough, for which Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has proved es-
pecially valuable. Mrs. F. W. Olsen,

years ago my little boy Jean caught
severe cold and coughed dreadfully
for days. I tried a number of cough
medicines. but nothing did him any
good until I gave him Chamberlain's

right away and before he had finished

Erof. Qudde left the house weeping.
The next week Prof. Heron was be-
sleged by new offers by telephone
one OF the speakers saying he was
Dr. W. 8. Solf, German colonial min
lister. Prof. Heron talked straight to
all of them, telling them among other
things that:
The United States no longer wants
peace. 1t wants to sweep out the
Augean stables at Potsdam."
Prof. Heron told the story of the
correspondent and laughed triumph
antly. He said he believed the Ger
mans were at last convinced that the
United States intends to stay in the
war until its righteous objects are
achieved.
The Professor Quidde referred to is
probably Prof. Ludwig Quidde, his
torian of the University of Munich,
in Munich, the Bavarian capital. Ger.
man Chancellor Won Hertling is a Ba-
varjan and was formerly Bavarian
prime minister.
Prof. Ludwig Qusdde was a delegate
to the 10Th universal peace conference
in The Hague in the fall of 1918. In
moving before that conference a pro-
posal for gradual disarmament, Prof.
Qufdde severely blamed Germany for
the increase in armament in Europe.
He said there would have been no in
crease in France but for the action OF
Germany.
| The Prof. Heron referred to in the
dispatch is probably Prof. George D.
Heron, formerly of Grinnell college
Iowa. Nearly 20 years ago Prof. Her
ron came into considerable promi-
nence on account of his views regard

wife, he followed out his ideas in con

"a great factor in favor of work

glad if you will show this letter to as
many of our mutual friends as you can
tell them i think of them often and
if the war game permitted / would
write to all of them. However, since

is very scarce. / will be mighty glad
to hear from you or any of the Ken

write. We do not get the newspapers
very often here, particularly those
with news of the homefolks, SO that

letters each week to my dear mother
and that has been about the limit CT
my correspondence. have kept with
me your letter advising me that you
were sending some tobacco for the
boys from Kennewick, donated by the
ones who are left to occasionally drop
into Dad Trips and the Club. / re-
ceived this letter and also the tobac-
co a short time before leaving the
good old u. S. A, and cannot re-
member whether / acknowledged re-
ceipt. If did not then / want to ask
your pardon and also that of the dom
ors for such delay, and i also want
to assure you that the boys from
Kennewick received the tobacco
and enjoyed it. Now, that pack
ages can no longer be sent to
the men over here, we have to
depend upon getting it thru the
Y. M. C. A. This organization is do
ing grand work with the soldiers
and ! cannot praise them too highly.
The Y. M. C. A. deserves the support
of every good and patriotic citizen.
1t does my heart good to see the men
in some building, sometimes a very
crude one, writing letters home on Y.
M. c. A. stationery, and perhaps play
ing a piano rented by the organiza-
ton from some French people who
have had to vacate their homes, and as
the strains from some good old Ameri-
can song come drifting to my ears
cannot help but realize that the ones
at home are doing their bit and are
thinking of the boys aover here"
I am glad to say that most of the
Kennewick boys are still in Battery
'E," which is certainly making
name for itself as one of the best bat
teries in one of the best regiments in
France. Don't think we are conceited
but we almost have license to be in
view of the fact that a regular army
major stated to one of General Per-
shing's staff that the 146th Field Ar
tillery was the best regiment, barring
none, that he had ever come in contact
with, and the major who said this be-
longs to one of the regiments of the
regular army. In any event I be-
lieve that, the Germans realize there
is some organization across the line
from them which can come pretty near
to hitting the mark. We have had no
casualties, am glad to say, and ev-
aryone is in very good health. We
get plenty to eat, altho we are running
terribly shy on sleep, the officers in
