GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE
Cure Said To BE Assured for the
Worlds Greatest Scourge, the
Plague Of Leprosy

The news from Hawaii indicates
that science mas at last found the
sure and systematic way to the cure
Of this worlds most appalling dis
ease. OF the 142 former lepers who
have been paroled from Kalibi hos
pital in the last two years none has
been sent back.
1t 10 peculiar that the plague which
has troubled the world at least sixty
centuries, and probably much longer.
should eventually be controlled by
one Of the oldest remedies ever used
for It. To modern science Is due the
discovery OF the bacillus of leprosy.
but Its cure is accomplished with re-
fined chaulmoogra oil. the essenc of
an Indian plum. which has been used
By lepers In the East for centuries.
Science has improved on native prac-
tee not only In the oil but in it's ap-
plication.
To a world which has 5000. 600
lepsrs the success of the doctors at
Kalibi is heartening. China. when
better days come, can set about the
cure Of her 100000 stricken. India
has 100000 lepers, Japan 10000.
And the United States has had a big
leper problem which the develop
msnts In Hawaii should soon solve.
While the cases of leprosy In the con-
unsutal United States are few-per-
Aaps not 300-we have thousands of
iepers In our island possessions, par
aculariy the Philippines. Now that
inc way Is clear our medical service
can 90 ahead there as 1t has proceed

ave been restored and industries In

onment in other parts Of the republic.
The chief work remaining to be
aoue in France is the restoration of

the United States.
One of the interesting develop
msuts, he reports, is the revival of
hone for Vienna, In which centered,
bsfore the war, the trade of eastern
Europe and the Balkans. Traders
who have been trying to do business
with the outlying regions are dissatis-

Summing up all he had heard and

ION that great as many other gains
have been in Europe. the greatest of
ali gains is the decline of the revolu-
