washington, d. c., Jan. 19.-An
axnerirnent which makes the trans
misaion OF influenza a more banning
mvsterv than ever, and which at the
same time places on record an act OF
meIf-sacrifcing heroism by about one
hunderd naval volunteers, has aust
been completed by officers OF the
United States public health service
cooperating with medical ofhcers OF
the United States navy at Boston ana
San Francisco.
As nearly everyone knows, scien-
fists ali over the world, in combating
the spread OF influenza, which Is still
roiug ON. have proceeded on the as
sumptlon that 1t is transmitted chteny
BY coughing and splitting. The the
ory has been that the diseased mucus
thrown out by these acts is filled with
the germs OF influenza, which thus
finds Iodgment in healthy tissue. All
the experiments Heretofore made seem
to indicate strongly that influenza IS
transmitted in this way. and 1t is wel
accepted that most other respiratory
diseases are carried.
This latest experiment consisted in
submitting the hundred men who
volunteered for the purpose to every
possible method Of infection with In
fluenza germs through the nose and
throat. These men risked their lives
for the general good, and for the ad-
vancement OF science. They went
through singularly trying and re-
pulsive ordeal. They, and everyone
else, believed that they were being in
oculated with the dread disease which
Is destroying millions of lives all over
the world. Their heroism is fully
equal to that displayed some years
ago by the men of the army medical
, corps who exposed themselves In Gu
ba to the bites Of mosquitoes In order
70 determine finally whether yellow
fever was transmitted by that insect.
The only difference in the two ex-
pertments was In. the result. Some of
the officers who exposed themselves
to the bite Of the mosquito contract
ed yellow fever, and one OF them died,
thereby establishing the soundness OF
their theory. The volunteers who
submitted themselves to incubation
with the germs OF influenza we're full
LIS expected to take the disease, and
were prepared to die. But not one OF
them developed any symptoms of in
huenZa.
IMcOrJ - OPsets
This astonishing negative result
which is the sensation of the day IN
scientific circles, should not tempt
anyone to be careless in the matter OF
coughing and splitting or In exposing
himself to infection by those acts
As officials of the public health ser
vice point out, It may be that tbs
germs of the disease disappear al
soon as, or Immediately after, tbs
symptoms appear. Something iks
this is true OF other diseases. II
measles, for example. 1t has beer
found that the germs which caus'
the disease are ali gone within five ol
six days after the appearance Of thi
rash. and the case is no longer conta
gious. The discovery of this fact
which was made by Anderson AMI
Goldberger OF the public health ser
vice only few years ago, has led Il
shortening the quarantine period 70

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

Those who have green crops such
as wheat, oats, rye and barley Tor
their fowls are fortunate. There will
be times during the winter when these
crops will do the fowls much good.
But where for any reason no green
crops are available oats may be
sprouted to provide green feed for the
fowls.
A good way to do this is to get a
few boxes that may be easily handled.
Fill the boxes with garden loan soil
and put in the barn. cellar or outhouse
where there is ventilation. MoisteD
the soil and sow oats In these boxes
The seed may be planted very thick,
as It will be best to set the box out
and let the chickens have access to
them as soon as the plants are an
inch or more above the ground. An.
other sowing may then be made In the
box. -
In this way the fowls may have
enough green food to give them Q
good appetite and keep them in fine
health and vIgor. 1t Is a very difficult
matter to keep hens in good laying
condition during the winter without
green food. The best way is to SOW
green crops. II this has not been done,
then oats may be sprouted as has been
suggested.

Ingredients Required for
Homemade Apple Butter

Apple butter is generally made with
cider. but this can be left out if de-
sired. Four quarts of sterillzed sweet
cider should be boiled down to two
quarts. To this add four quarts of
apples peeled and cut into small
pieces. If the texture of the ap-
pies is coarse they should be boiled
and put through strainer before be-
Ing added to the cider. Boil this mix
ture until the cider does not separate
from the pulp. When two-thirds done

spoonful Of cinnamon, allspice and
cloves may be added. Pour into steril-I

DEATH LAID TO EVIL SPIRITS
Banoalas Tribe In Africa Refusss u
Believe That Mortal Disse-
tutIon 10 Certain.

Strange rites and ceremonies still
abound In Africa. Most Of these have
their origin In superstitions instigated
by the medicine men or magicians Of
q tribe for their own betterment, while
many are adopted as customs Of q
tribe.
Foremost Of the funeral "celebra-
tons" In Africa is that of Z tribe
called Bangalas, near the Quangc river.
Here the deceased is asked to state
the cause Of his death. and is often
prosecuted before being buried.
The death Of an African in these
sections Il never announced, and. only
on inquiry Is anyone told Of the death
Of a tribe member. When the death
u generally known the relatives come
and fall Into state Of excitement and
wailings. with frequent interruptions
Of hilarious nature. Drums and mus
ical instruments are assembled and
the revelry is continued until after
sunrise. This ceremony occupies two
days. The body is brought out during
these ceremonieA and, fastened in
sitting posture In chair and placed
at the door Of his hut. The idea of the
natives is that the deceased shall share
in the festivities.
Only the mother and wife of the de-
ceased show signs Of grief. After the
Celebrations" the deceased is put un-
der rigid examination as to what or
who caused his death. Naturally, he
Is unable to answer. and the crowd
abuses him, demanding an answer.
At last 1t is agreed that he was killed
through the aid of evil spirits. The
body Is then taken to the cemetery.
The inhabitants do not believe that
everyone must die. that evil spirits
alone interfere with lives.

ISLAND OF MANY MEMORIES

st. Helena, the island where Napo-

Of exile and where he died in 1921. has
one of the most peculiar landscapes
in the world. and by reason Of the
great variety of trees and plants that
grow there.
For many years the island was
sort Of ocean crossroads where all
ships plying between Europe and the
East stopped for supplies. 1t was un-
inhabited when discovered and most
Of its population is made up Of the de-
scendants of persons who deserted
from passing vessels. European. Afri-
can and Asiatic peoples are all repre-
sented.
Nearly all of these settlers Of many
races and nationalities tried to intro
duce into the island plants and trees
from their home countries, as people
are wont to do the world over. Some
Of these failed to survive, but a sur
prising variety Of crops and trees
throve In the semi-tropicai climate and
rich soil Of the little Island. As re-
suit the English oak tree today grows
beside bananas and palms. Raising
dates is an industry of the valleys,
while Scotch pines grow on the up
lands, and some Of the level land II
covered with English gorse. Lemon
and orange trees are to be found not
