Deaf to the Call for Thrift

1t might at least be expected that the demo-
cratic administration would be willing to dimin-
i,h appropriations for the incoming repub-
Leans. but it appears that all idea OF economy
is lost to them. While the people have recovered
from their fit OF lavish spending this thrift has
not reached to the federal government.

This is not as it should be- and a rigorous
program OF governmental economy is expected
by the people who voted so clearly against
democratic extravaganza. Loud talk from some
OF drastic cuts in the number OF clerks emploved
in official work does not forecast any large
saving. although there is no doubt that the
government ought to get along with fewer
employees. Shifting from direct to indirect tax

MONOPOLIES AND THE LEAGUE.

Another nasty little bump has cropped up in
rhe pathway of the League of Nations, having

sources A resolution dealing with the point
is before the assembly, its aim being to give all
the world the benefit of whatever raw material
may exist anywhere III the world Nations
such as Italy, Switzerland Belgium, Germany,
whose resources are limited, and whose pros
perity depends on manufacturing, are concerned
IN having access to steady supply OF such
basic materials as they require. Newer and
undcveioped lands have interest in the other
direction. This conflict is certain to awaken
something OF controversy, and its disposition

Canada sets up the principal opposition to
the proposal. Our great and lusty young neigh

Importance as source OF supply. Those "few
hundred acres OF snow" to which Louis so
airily referred when told that Wolfe had de-
tcated Montcalm and the prAince was lost,
have turned out to be a wonderful storehouse
OF materials the world needs and will continue
to need. Canadians are bent on not dissipating
their natural wealth through prodgal use or
by alternating title, Some of the methods
adopted are not such as may easily be excused
or arc generally practiced in polite society,"
Stand and deliver" very nearly describes the
policy adopted with reference to wood pulp and
paper, but Canada controls the supply just now
and the paper user pays the Canadian price or
does without. Other resources are being care

the land is fairly we'll assured
While the ethics OF the proposition are de-

"3. VIII an operation cure it?"
REPLY.
/. In necrosis, pieces Of bone die
and in time come away. The cause
in most cases is infection with some
form of bacterium. Among the
causes are tubercle bacilli lumpy
jaw and pus cocci. In olden times
there was good deal OF "phossy
jaw" among makers of matches.
Phosphorus poisoning causes necrosis
of the jawbone. Poisoning with
mercury and other poisons is much
less apt to cause necrosis of the jaw.
2. 1t Is not often fatal. 1t is not
related to cancer, but cancer involv-
ing the jawbone may cause necrosis.
3. Yes. Operation is done to re-
move the dead bone and to provide

CAT GIVES WOMAN DIPH.
THFRrA

There is recent record of case
of human diphtheria in which the
disease was contracted from cat.
t This is not an instance OF wild
ruInor, but one in which all the
cases, human and feline, We're
| checked by accurate laboratory ex-
! animation.
Maj. j. S. simmons of the Walter
! Reid hospital saw a Mrs. Pan, an
| elderly woman, who was very i'll
! with severe tonsilitis from which
she had suffered for four days. On
| examination her throat was found
to be lined by what appeared to be
a diphtheretic membrane. Cultures
made from the throat showed typi-
cal diphtheria bacilli. When these
cultures We're injected into guinea
pigs death ensued In six days. The
same cultures injected into guinea
pigs protected by antitoxin pro-
duced no effects. So there was no
doubt about the diagnosis. The
woman died the day following DR..
Simmons first visit.
Now for the source of the disease
Mrs. Pan had a pet cat which often
slept with her and which she fon-
died every day. This cat got sick
one week before Mrs. Pan did. 1t
had a croupy cough and could not
swallow. Both Of these symptoms
We're explained by the theory that
it had bone stuck in its throat.
On he day Maj. Simmons saw Mrs.
Pan the cat seemed to be improv-
ing. He took culture from the
cats throat and found diphtheria
bacilli which were virulent enough
to kill guinea pigs.
The day after Mrs. Pan died the
cat was killed and autopsied. A
diphtheretic patch was found in the
cats left nose and from this patch |
diphtheria bacilli We're cultured.
Five days after Mrs. Pan was
first seen second cat, which often |
played with the first cat, was ex-
amined for diphtheria bacilli. They
were found. Eight days later this
cat died, autopsy showed diph-
thereto membranes on the vocal
cords. Cultures showed this men,
brane to be due to diphtheria ba-
cilli. These bacilli killed unpro-
tected guinea pigs in four days
Guinea pigs protected by antitoXin
did not become sick when infected
with. this bacillus.
For a long time there has been
as to whether cats
spread contagion and especially
The claim that they did

were carelessly made and
