you have been, let me tell you. First
you flew high into clean air and you

forever hold as a vision or admit that
love is a sordid and wingless thing"
Miss Van Tellier's eyes fell from
his frank gaze. Something seemed to
crumple within her; she put her arms
around Mr.. Randolph's neck, chung
to him, dropped her face against his
shoulder and sobbed, not noisily, but
as one who weeps to rest.
He held her close to him and went
on, his face set as though to a duty.

CURE FOR TUBER.
CULOSIS DISCOV-

Patients Treated With Anti.

Good Health Says French
SCIENTIST.

Paris, Feb. AFTER a lapse of a
bout seven or eight years Prof. FAR
sonval, Inember of the Institute of the
) Academy of Medicine, has presented
report to the French Academy OF
tuberculosis by new method dis
covered by the Swiss bacteriologist
Henri Spahlinger. The method was
first applied in 1913 and 1914, in hos
pitfalls in England, France and Swift
| zerland, on patients suffering both
from the minor forms of tuberculosis
.. and advanced phthisis.
Since that time those patients who
were pronounced cured have been
kept under observation. All of them
are declared to be alive and in good
health and they have shown no symp-
toms of relapse for the last six
years, although they underwent no
further anti-tubercular treatment of
any sort.
These results are vouched for, "a
mong others, by the London physi-
cion, DR.. Leonard L. B. Williams,
fellow of the Royal Society of Medi-
cine and other scientific bodies.
The treatment takes the form of in
jections of anti-toxins and ferments,
which are modified according to the
acute symptoms, then immunizing the
patients completing the cure and pre-
venting a relapse.
AS originally described before the
Academy of Medicine of Prof Letulle,
the method consists of intra-nluscular
injections of combination of omit
genie solutions and ferments 1t is
claimed that the treatment causes the
closure of lung cavities and the dis
appearance of the bacili

There have been many advocates Of
the theory that chicken lice can be
killed by painting the roosts and drop
ping boards or the whole interior Of
the poultry house with various oil mix
lures. the idea being that the vapors
or gases arising from these points
penetrate the feathers OF the roosting
fowls and kill the lice. This method
has been given very extensive trial
by specialists Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and not one
