Blindness u no less prevalent In the

Trachoma Is responsible for most OF

organizations which are endeavoring
to nurse war-torn Turkey back to
normal health.
In an effort to check the :ravages

Norton, ri American relief doctor
who has just recovered from trachom6

Greek orphans in Antolia.
The new hospital will accommodate
about 1000 patients.
In addition American relief workers
are working out a campaign against

The Co%nstantinople eye hospital is

The war on film

Dental science, the world over, is
fighting a war on film. Film is that

most tooth troubles are now traced to
it. .E
Those troubles have been. constantly
increasing. The ordinary tooth paste
does not end Aim, so the tooth brush
has proved inadequate. Millions know

Reisenweber''s to Shrink
Into broom Restaurant
President Fischer Ascribes Move
TO Loss of Business Occa-
stoned by Prohibition

Reisenwebcr's, at Eighth Avenue and
Fifty-eighth Street, established in 1856,
and the largest restaurant in the city,
is to shrink shortly to two rooms-the
new "crystal room" and the "paradise
room"-as a result of prohibition. The
announcement was made last night by
Louis Fischer, president os Resen-
weber's. The United Cigar Stores
Company has obtained seventeen-year
lease on the rest of the building, which
will be remodeled at once.
"The new four-story structure that
was built four years ago at a cost of
100000, in order that we could keep
pace with active competition and give
our patrons the equal of any similar
establishment in the country, will, in
part, continue as the future home of
Reisenweber's," said Mr. Fischer. "All
the other buildings and floors, former
ly housing the cafeteria, banquet halls,
hotel, ETC., have been leased and will
be equipped for Offices, stores and other
purposes.
"Fhe dry amendment has limited the
sphere of our activity and We can
give our patrons better value by con-
hning our business to two floors than
by attempting to operate all of the
buildings as in the past"

Frenchn,ars Says Serum,
viii Cure Appendicitis
Prot. DeIbet Asserts Tests With
Anti-Cangrenous Fluid May
Do A,pay With Operations

PARIS, Oct. 10.-Treatment of appen-
dicitis by an anti-gangrenous serum in
stead of by operation has been tested
with such satisfactory results that it is
likely operations soon will be aban-
doned for the disease, Professor Pierre
Delbet said in a paper to-day before
the Congress of Surgeons. According
to Professor Delbet the tests have eX-
tended over a period of thirteen years.
DR. John Erdmann, of the Academy of
Medicine, an authority on appendicitis,
declared last night that any serum
treatment such as Professor Delbet
advocated would not be ''feasible."
''In case of appendicitis there is
already an inflammation of the cavity
where the -gangrenous serum that
is mentioned would have to be ap-
Piled" he said. "Therefore, such a
serum would be OF no avail. ! do not
know of any experiments Of this nature
and I put no falsh in them
DR.. Erdmann did not know of any
DR.. C. G. Burdick said he knew of
Professor Delbet and believed that he
was considered reliable, but thought
that he might have been misquoted.
Surgeons in hospitals said they were
ignorant of Professor Delbet's work on
appendicitis and had no faith in a
serum cure.
Another surgeon, saying that he had
performed many operations for appen-
dicitis, called the dispatch "humbug."

Mills Says Republicans
Saved Nation Billions
Declares Transportation Act
Merifed Admiration of the
American Peonle

ogoen l.. Mills, former State Senator
ana Republican nominee for Congress-
from the 18th District, told members of
'he community Forum last night that
the Republican Congress had reduced
the estimates of various departments
ehcel the Democratic Admin strxtion
more than $2,750, 100000 in the last two
terms. WV
Hc spoke in the rooms of the Forum
at 155 West Sixty-hfth Street. He said
in part:
."One of the greatest accomplishments
OF he Republican party was the trans
po1tstion act Of 1920. which turned the
iSllrcads back to their owners The
government operation of the roads had
proved costly and the morale of the
employee was impaired.
If that Republican Congress had ac-
complished nothing else it would have
merited the respect and admiration of
the American people.
We are not going to get economy
and efficiency in the administration of
the government until we secure in
creased cooperation between the execu-
tive and legislative departments, until
we establish an executive budget and
the reorganization Of Federal depart
ments and bureaus.
Mr.. Mills said that the present Ad-
mlnistiation had led the country un-
p,epal cd into the greatest war of all
times. He declared the Democratic
Acm nistration had not won the war.
The American people won the War;"
re SAID "and they did not win it be-
cause of the Administration, but in
spite of it."
