ITALIAN Discovers
TUBERCULOSIS CURE
Prof. Lo Monaco Benefits MANY
by Injections of Glucose.

A dispatch to the Italian Embassy
here tells of a cure for tuberculosis
developed in Rome which the dis
patch describes as the most i'm

OF glucose substances into the dis
eased tissues. This is said to ar

permits the patient to recuperate
his constitutional strength. 1t is
the result of many experiments by
Prof. Lo Monaco, director of the
Chemico Physiological Institute or
the University of Rome. The in
Ventor communicated the results of
his discovery to the Rome Tribuna.
The dispatch says:
Experiments have demonstrated
that Lo Monaco's preparations ar

time through the healing properties
The experiments have included
those upon soldiers at the front in
advanced stages of the disease.
Acute symptoms in various cases
have disappeared after three in

glucose preparations prevent con-
tagion through the respiratory or

injection of glucose followed a
long series of experiments with q
similar use of sugar.

HUGHES BEGINS
INVESTIGATION
BY CONFERRING
Judicial Air Probe Set IN
Motion at Meeting with
Colleagues.

Charles Evans Hughes started his
probe into the charges of dishonesty
in aircraft production yesterday
with the same vigor that brought
him national fame and uncovered
the great insurance scandal some
years ago. !
He arrived at the Department of
Justice at 9:45 and with the assis-
tance of Attorney General Gregory
rand Assistant Attorney General
William Frierson worked until 5:45
D. m, without stopping for luncheon.
After a short walk and light din
ner the former court justice re-
turned TO the Department and re-
mained until shortly before his train
left for New York at midnight.
Statement Of Hughes.
During the short interim between
the afternoon and evening sessions
of the conference Mr.. Hughes made
this statement to newspaper men:
Il was called into this investiga-
tion suddenly and Unexpectedly. /
have several matters of Importance
in New York which must be closed
up before I can give my unreserved
attention to the work. / have been
with Mr.. Gregory all day and will
return for a further conference this
evening.
Il shall leave for New York to-
: night but 1 promise to return as
early as possible next week and
> make a thorough investigation of
this situation in accordance with
President Wilson's request"
During the day. 1t was learned,
Mr.. Hughes made a preliminary ex-
animation Of the charges filed by
Gutzon Borglum. and of the Snow
, den Marshall report. He also held
brief conferences with Secretary of
War Newton d. Baker: Brigadier
General Charles Mex. Saltzman, act
ing head of the Signal Corps; Ma
jor d. c. Beatty, also the Signal
Corps.
Senator Chamberlain. chairman of
the Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee. and author OF the resolution for
Investigation OF aircraft. was also
called to the conference room. II was
understood no objection had been
raised to a continuation of the investi-
CATION by the Senate committee.
Investigations Distinct.
The point was made that the At
torney General and Mr.. Hughes had
been requested only to investigate and
act upon evidence of crime. The
scope Of the Senate committee is
much broader and by investigating
mistakes and possible ineficiency
may uncover evidence of wrong doing
which would otherwise not be brought
b to the attention of Mr.. Hughes and
his associates at the Department of
Justice.
Assistant Attorney General Frier-
son was able to present a eompre-
hensive picture of the entire c4se yes
terday, 1t was said. The Assistant
Attorney General has gone into the
situation thoroughly since given the
assignment by the Attorney General
tvo weeks ago.
At the Department of Justice 1t was
said the investigation would be sim
liar to a Grand Jury investigation
even If it should be decided to con-
duct the inquiry in public.
At the conclusion of the days pro-
ceedings 1t was said that Maj. Beatty,
of the Signal Corps. had been assign
ed as an assistant to Mr.. Hughes on
technical questions

The Department of Agriculture has
varied and numerous SUBJ divisions known
as Bureaus" Among these is the Bur-
eau of Entomology, often alluded to as
the bug department. We notice in the
appropriation bill for the Agricultural
Department the following item: for the
"study of insects affecting the health of
man $50, $780," In every generation of
men for several hundred years some of
the best informed minds in the medical
fraternity have been studying insects af-
fecting the health of man and it is not at
all likely that the government Bureau of
Entomology will be able to add thirty
cents worth of knowledge to what the
world now has on this subject. While
the government is urging us to conserve
food, paper and gasolene would it not be
wise for it to conserve the peoples money
by postponing further study of house
flies, brown tail moths, mosquitoes, and
in short all other insects.

Prior to the enactment OF the Demo-
cratic tariff law in 1913, the United
States was selling to other nations more
than il was buying from them, and we
were of course prosperous people. The
Wilson Underwood law encouraged pur-
chase abroad, with consequent injury to
American p oduction. AS result we
bought more abroad and sold less. The
monthly trade balances grew less in our
favor until they turned into adverse
balances. Business men have not for
gotten the business and industrial de-
preston which existed in this country in
1914 and I'D to the time when war brought
us new and unprecedented markets and
in large measure shut off our purchases
abroad. We soon had the largest trade
balances ever recorded in the history of
any nation. 1t was not the Underwood
tariff which brought this about. 1t was
the war, and when peace returns foreign
nations will sell us as much as possible
and for while at least will be financially
able to buy but little.

U nder the present tariff law we cannot
prevent an influx of foreign made goods
paid for with American money, the price
being below the cost of similar goods
made here by our well paid people. Not
only will the foreign goods be made by
cheap labor but they will come from
Europe across the Atlantic, and from
Japan across the Pacific in subsidized
ships, manned by low priced crews 1t is
plain as the dome of the sky that low
tariff will scale down wages, close fac
tories and stagnate business. Just now
the war is having the effect of protec-
tive tariff, but after the war the door
will be open for the entrance of foreign
goods as long as the Underwood tariff act
is in force

A CREATIVE BELIEF.

One of the greatest things one person
may do for another is to believe in him;
yet how rarely do we realize this?
A man on tramping trip through the
mountains of West Virginia, came. one
morning upon two children all alone on a
desolate farm. away ON the top OF one OF
the highest mountains. The mother was
dead, and "Pappy was away peddlln'
fruit" the stranger was told.
why don't you stay with the neigh
bors while your father is away? the
traveller asked.
ooh, we got to stay here, cause ii we
didn't, somebody might come an steal
our Chickens" the youngest child, lit
tie girl, explained.
The stranger looked at her very small
person. "Why," he laughed, ''wha
could you do to chicken thief" t
81 couldn't do nothin', but my brother
could" she returned promptly. why,
he's most nine years oldp'
At her words, the brother, freckle-
faced, insignificant youngster, was sud-
denly transformed. Eyes, STRIP he cried,
with shining eyes. eyes, sir! l could
tend to 'em all right! Pm most nine
years old!'
Now whether he could tend to 'em"
or not, is beside the mark. The fact
which struck home to the traveller was
the change wrought in that small boy by
his little sisters loyal belief in him. In
telling the story afterwards, the man
was always wont to declare that what he
desired from his friends was a creative
belief. Criticize me-" he would laugh,
"and | am lost But believe in me, he
lleve in me as that little mountain child
believed in her brother, and can work
miraclesp'- Margaret Prescott Montague.

A Boston Letter.

Mrs L. w. Howes, widow of the late
Hon. Lewis W. Howes, Attorney, of Bos-
ton. but formerly of Belfast and Rockland,
Name, has been spending two weeks at
the home of her brother-in-law Mr.. Asa
A. Howes of Belfast. Mrs. Howes has
returned to her home in the Allston Dis
trict of Boston. Since the death Of her
husband, she has been very active in war
work. being one Of a group of about Is
women who ORGANIZED for Red Cross
activities at the beginning of last winter
and continued without let up until June,
when the supply of gauze was exhausted.
| In that time, nearly $4,000 surgical
dressings were made, covered, stamped,
and taken to the Peter Bent Brigham
Hospital for sterilization-then transpor-
tation.
Many other needed articles were in
cluded in the shipments of this branch,
which was named The Princeton Branch
of the New England Surgical Dressings
Auxiliary of the American Red Cross
The work was carried on at Hotel Prince
ton, Commonwealth avenue, Allston,
owned and managed by Mrs. Joseph W.
Merrill. Mrs Merrill gave the public
rooms of the hotel as work rooms, and
much of her own time as an efficient
worker The branch financed the under
taking entirely, raising among its MEM
bers and friends about S525, with which
to pay for nearly 5000 yards of gauze,
at from So. so to 81. so per thousand; also
for materials for surgical shirts, treasure
bags, serviettes, afghans, and all the
varied articles for which frequent calls
were made from headquarters.
Mrs. Howes was made secretary OF the
Princeton branch, and in her report, sub
mitted at the final meeting, her descrip-
ton, which follows, of the conversion of
the little 9 inch squares of gauze into
surgical compress, has attracted favorable
notice in Red Cross circles:
Fold left, fold right, even and flat,
Fold up, fold down, then pat, pat, pat.
Now fold once more and press it thin;
Lastly, fold prayer within.
In closing her report, Mrs. Howes
recommended as a fitting entrance upon
every days work while the war lasts, the
following little prayer:
CHOW get me up to work.
pray the Lord | may not shirk.
If should dia hof tho ,ioht

air craft scandal in charge of Attorney
General Gregory and Mr.. Hughes, the

appointed a sub-committee to make
separate investigation. This committee

been supposed to be progressing and thus

measure approximate to what might be
expected after an expenditure of $780,,
900 900 This committee completed its
investigation and made a report some
time ago. The report is document OF
about 5000 words and would fill seven
columns of The journal. We have taken
pains to read this report with consider
able care and write an editorial which
we hoped would give our readers clear
comprehension of its important para
graphs We finished the editorial Satur-
eiay night Information received by mail
Monday morning told US that the context
of the report as made officially to the
senate, was prohibited to newspapers cir
culating outside the borders of the United
States. The Christian Science Monitor,

publication of and comment on this re-
port The Detroit News was prevented
from circulation of its publication of this
report, and on the day this was done the

clded to put our editorial into cold stor-
age and keep it there till freedom of
speech is restored to the people at least
to an extent of allowing them to talk
and write about business which is strict
ly and entirely their own. We cannot
conceive how the publication of an official
report of we'll known facts can do any
harm at home or abroad.
