HAS FAITH IN HIS "cURE"
Only Patient Who Tried Snake Diet for Leprosy Died, but Doctor
 Holds to Hts Theory.

In practicing medicine for the bene- fit of the natives I worked out One theory in regard to leprOsy, which is a fairly common ailment in the Arch ipelago. asked myself why, since a snake sheds it's skin,. a man who is. afflicted with disease should not be able to do the same thing.
 In Singapore there was 8 rich Chi. nese leper, known as Ong Si Chew, who asked me repeatedly why I did not bring him some new remedy for his disease. Since he had large household of servants who took care of him, and his own carriages and richshas when he travelled, he was allowed to live untroubled by the au- thorities; but he was very unhappy. because he had tried all the remedies of the native doctors and was stead fly growing worse.
 At last I told him that had some thing that might help. He asked me what 1t wass but would not tell him. When he insisted, answered, 'Bnakes."
 "Ul-la !" he exclaimed, waving his arms in the air.
 Then explained my theory. The ability of snake to shed his skin might be transferred to a human be- Ing if he ate snakes; and if so, the person would be able to shed his lep- rosy. Ong Si Chew did not care for the idea at all, but I told him it was worth trying and argued that snake is much cleaner than an eel.
 At last he consented, and furnished him with a number of small pythOns, with the instructions that they were to be killed and cleaned immediately before they were eaten. He was to eat them raw with his rice.
 I left Singapore soon after that, and when I returned found that Ong Si Chew had died. People thought 1t was a great joke on me because my patient had not survived the treatment but am far from being convinced that the cure will not wOrk-Or, at least, help to throw off leprosy. Ong Si Chew was in the last stages of the disease, and his case was not fair test- Charles Mayer, in Asia Magazine.

To weIuh and Measure Children.

To establish a standard table of the heights and weights of children a con- ference of representatives of the United States children's bureau, the United States bureau of education, the United States public health service and various educational and private organizations working for the bet torment of children has just been held in New York city. At the pres ent time various tables of measure ment are. in use by the different or ganizatiOns engaged in weighing and measuring children. The results of the tests arc not comparable; also considerable confusion has arisen be- cause of apparent differences In the standards of normal development as given out by the various OrganizN- tiOns.
 A complete standard table will be prepared by a committee, and all fu- ture weighing and measuring of chil- dren can then be in accordance with their uniform table. / The findings of the tests will be comparable and much greater use can be made of the facts revealed.

The Swamp >

50
Sessue Hayakawa comes again 10
the New Cambridge Theatre tonight
and Tuesday in his new re produc-
ton, "The Swamp" in which the
noted Japanese-Amer1can star is sup
ported by Miss Bessie Love, also
star in her own right, and a cast OF
high talent. THE Swamp" besides
having Mr.. Hayakawa in the leading
role was also written by Mr.. Haya-
kawa for his own personal use. AS
a result the production is a ninety
horse power treat. Besides unfold
ing a strong dramatic story, it gives
the star some delightful moments OF
light comedy and the early scenes
provide many a laugh. This marks
Hayakawa's first effort in this diree-
ton and the result was highly graf
flying. The story has to do with the
experiences of a simple Chinese boy
who peddles vegetables in the slums
of New York and stumbies upon
romance that forms the basis OF
most engrossing narrative.
The fun feature will be "Snub"
Pollard in What A Whooper' and
with Pollard as a star is always as
surance of a good laff-feast. ADV

THEIR BISCUIT REBELLION

e iHGlh 6iSSOlI he6eILION
II hate these biscuits" declared
Gladys.
They're either soggy or else as hard
as rocks" chimed in Gertrude.
And we have them every morning"
Eleanor sighed. But what can you
expect in an orphan asylum"
The girls ate breakfast without
further comment. When the meal was
finished the three hurried aside.
"rll tell you what" Gladys whls-
pered. Let's have biscuit strike.
We can gather all the biscuits together
tomorrow morning and bury them in the
yard"
They met no opposition when they
put the plan to the other girls. All
disliked the biscuits.
Next morning came breakfast and
biscuits. As soon as the matron had
retired TO the officers dining room.
Gladys brought out an old -four sack
and all the biscuits were dumped in.
While two friends acted as scouts
Gladys slid out into the garden and
buried the sack and contents In the
soft earth. Everyone was sure the
officials would never know what be-
came of the biscuits.
But they didn't consider Duke, the
asylum collie, and his inquisitive nose.
They never guessed 1t was he who led
the janitor TO the grave"
At noon that day. when the girls
filed TO lunch. at each plate there was
the familiar biscuit. But biscuits at
noon were unusual. The girls felt un-
easy.
The matron was about to leave the
dining hall. She turned and smiled
sweetly. "Since you girls seem so fond
OF biscuits as to have eaten them all
this morning she began, well have
them every day this week instead of
bread | want TO give you what you
want" |
