 IN FIGHT AGAINST LfpROSLN

With the progress of the United States Public Health Service in the treatment of the age-old Scourge. lep- rosy. by the use of chaulmoogra oil, peculiar interest attaches to pack age of seeds recently received ty the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture.
 I he seeds are those of tree knp ,:l as Hydnocapus anthelimintica. and were sent to the department from Ban. gkok. Siam, by Dr. J. r, Rock. of the University of Hawaii, who was >eut 10 Siam by body of sugar planters and ls now in the plant exploration. service of the Department of Agricul- tTre.
 True chaumoOgra oil, whose proper ties have been more or less recognized in leprosy treatment from early Asiatic history, is obtained from the seed of tree known as Taraktogenos kurzii, which grows in Burma. However, in the latter part of the last century the attention of scientists was attracted to three other trees whose seeds yield ed a similar oil They were Hydno- carpuS anthelmintica. II. Wightiana and H, Heterophylla. In 19Oi Dr Fred erick F. Power, now chemist in the department. and then director of the Welcome Chemical Research Labora- tories in London. succeeded in Separat- ing the physiologically active acids in the oil from the seeds of the first two of these trees. These acids. designat- ed as chaulmoogric and hydnocarpiC acid. respectively, were identified with the corresponding acids of true ehaul- moogra oil He also prepared iii the years 1904-5 the ethyl esters of the acids, which is the form in which the , remedy is used in injections by the Public Health Service specialists.
 While work done by the medical spe- cialists so far has been with true chaul- moogra oil. the receipt of Dr Rock : seeds of the Hydnocarpus tree has caus ed Department of Agriculture authori- ties to set in motion efforts to propa gate the plants for possible future usefulness.

Myers Acts Quickly.

One of the bandits had Mir. Myers covered with his pistol at this time, but when another man entered the front door of the bank, the man turned his gun on him, and NIT. Myers took advan- tage of the opportunity to step back into the vault. He picked up the rifle and came to the door and fired one shot at Starr. The bullet entered the ban dit's body on the right side just above the hip. At the shot the other men turned and ran, and Mir. Myers emerged from the vault with the rifle trained on Starr. Starr begged the banker not to shoot him while he was down, and added that he was "done for". He asked MT. Myers to take off his (Starr's) glasses, as he could not see, and the former complied with this re quest.
 Mir Myers then ran to the front of the bank and as the touring car, con- taining the three men, moved away, fired several shots at 1t. One of the men was seen to vince and 1t was be- lieved that he was struck in the shoul- der.-Gazette.

 The above quotation casually caught our eye. in a very prominent paper, one time, We hope we will soon forget when and where Right thinking. loyal and pnblic spirited people, have long since realized that in road build ing and road improvements, criticism is one thing, and cooperation, quite another. Cooperation establishes con fidence. creates enthusiasm, and brings about good results in road construction and Improvement. and nj other lines of business The Chamber of Com merce of Prescott. take this view of the matter. or they wouldn't be solicit ing and urging the business men and citizens of Prescott and vicinity, To become members The critic when not sincere in his convictions, only furnishes food for the bnockeT, amt creates and nourishes q spirit of re volt. It certainly was this class of people that the Chamber of Commerce reminded that several trains leave out of Prescott daily"
 far as cooperation l. concerned it's virtue has been proven over and often Particularly so. was II proven in road improvement last fall. ill Albany township. With the donations if labor by the people along the road, and money by the business men and citizens of Prescott, shere was eX- about as much as would be realized from the 3-millS tax for the entire township of Albany, for ten years (and Albany Township has nearly cue hun dred miles of road.) The people of that part of the county have never realized so fully, before, the made quacy of the 3-mills tax, to build and maintain our roads. When the 3-mills tax is expended (which we intend to spend to the very best advantage pos sibie,) and the free labor is worked, if any more is done, the people will have to come to our rescue with donat- ed labor and Toney, or content them selves with the conditions as they -yist We klow the patr' otit people Jf Nevada O nty are ready to give their cooperation, instead of criticism.
