Many Smart Styles Are Imported

smart one by Premet is Of gray, brick

not so. The brick and gray are mere

fashion tendencies without regard to
the individual shape of their fingers, Is
far from beautiful. Very often when

there Is anything but what might be
expected. Patients observe all public
holidays, their Fourth of July cele-
brations are jubilant and they have
orchestras and bands, movies and am
ateur theatricals.
SIxty-five per cent of the patients
at the Kalaupapa leper settlement Will
be discharged on parole within two
years, In the opinion of DR.. w. J..
GOodhue, for nineteen years resident
physician there. This estimate Is
based on results already obtained with
the chaulmOogra5 oil, prepared In the
laboratories Of the University Of
Hawaii.
From recent joint report by DR..
J. T. Mcdonald Of the leprosy inves-
tightion station In Hawaii and DIR.
A. L. Dean, president of the Universl-
ty Of Hawaii, the following concise
conclusions may be drawn as to what
the experimentation by the United
States public health service In the
treatment of leprosy has shown:
The intramuscular injection of the
ethyl esters OF the fatty acids of
chaulmoogra oil usually leads to rap
Id Improvement in the clinical symp-
toms Of leprosy. In many cases the
leslons disappear, except for scars and
permanent injuries, and the leprosy
bacillus can no longer be demon
strated.
1t. has been sufficiently established
more agents which exert a marked
therapeutic action in many cases of
leprosy. 1t cannot be said yet that
the disease Is cured. since there is
no test adequate to establish such a
verdict. Whether or not the apparent
cures are real and permanent, 1t is
evident that there is valuable agent
for the control Of the disease.
The chaulmOogra oil treatment has
been for the last fifteen years the
subject OF experimentation by the Uni
ted States public health service. What
has thus far been accomplished has
justified the high expectation Of Sur
geon General Hugh S. Cumming Of the
public health service and his corps
OF assistants. Prominent among those
having an active hand In the expert
ments are Or. J. w. Schereschewslky,
the assistant surgeon generalI DR..
George w. Mccoy, the director Of the
hygiene laboratory; DIR. ]. I. McDon-
aid OF the leprosy Investigation sta
tion in Hawaii, and DIR. A. L. Dean,
president of the University Of Hawaii
In Honolulu.

In the Hawaiian islands, which has
conducted Intensive studies in the dis
ease," said DIR. Schereschewsky. "In
the course of this work the action of
chaulmoogra oil In the treatment of
leprosy has been very closely studied.
Chaulmoogra oil, which Is an oil from
the seeds of an oriental tree (Tarak-
togenos kurzii) has been reputed for
a good many years to have beneficial
action in leprOsy.
"The difficulty in its use, however,
lay in lie fact that when given by
mouth 1t was nauseating and offensive
to the stomach and when injected In
tramuscularly was extremely painful
and very slowly absorbed. Various
notifications of chaumoogra oil were
studied by the public health service,
among them n mixture suggested by
DR.. Helser of the service containing
chaulmoogra oil. camphorated oil and
resorcln later olive oil was added and
gualacol was substituted for the re-
sorcln. Results obtained by the latter
mixture were so favorable. that Pro
fessor Dean, president and professor
of chemistry In the University Of
Hawaii, was led to the belief that
chaulmoogra oil might contain GER
tain active principles which could be
isolated and might be administered
with more favorable results
"The work Of DR. Power Of the
Welcome research laboratory on the
constitution of chaulmoogra oil and
its caageners gave some hope Of this,
for thGy showed that in this oil there
was a new series of fatty acids (chaul-
moogric acid and hydnocarpic acid)
which differed from other known fatty
acids by having the property Of rotat-
Ing beam of polarlzed light.
"These acids, however, are solids
and hence unsuited to hypodermic adj
ministration. AS result Of series
of experiments, Professor Dean deter
mined that the ethyl esters Of these
acids are thin fluid oils which lend
themselves readily to intramuscular
injection and are readily absorbed.

"The effect Of this treatment has

This an offer no reader Of this
paper who keeps chickens can afford
to ignore. We will tell you why.
Henry Trafford, Famous Poultry
Expert and Breeder. for nearly
eighteen years Editor of Poultry
Success" has developed a new and
remarkable system of rearing, breed
ing and feeding chickens for heavy
egg production that seems certain to
revoiutionize the poultry industry
and give five eggs or more for every
egg produced today. This plan or
system is explained in Mr.. Trafford's
1000, Egg Hen" a free copy of
which will be sent to any person
who keeps six hens or more.
Poultry keepers. following Mr..
Trafford's directions, learn how to
start young pullets laying early;
make old hens moult quickly and
resume heavy laying during entire
winter season. Most any hen will lay
in spring when eggs are cheap. Mr..
Trafford tells how hens lay four to
seven eggs a week during coolest
winter days when eggs sell at a dol
lar a dozen or more His system
shows how any breeder with ordin-
airy care, may get 1000 eggs or more
from nearly every hen in four to six
years time at a net profit of $500.

will satisfy the most fastidious.
The simplicity, the ease and the alb
