NEW WONDER
DRUG
Mercurochrome, Developed Un-
der Or. Young, Is Credited
With Great Powers

BALTIMORE, Nd. Nov. 6.-The
medical world daily is adding testi-
monials to Johns Hopkins Hospital
for its most recent life-saving boon
to humanity, a curative discovered
In research and experimental work
conducted under direction Of Doctor
Hugh Fl. Young, head of the Brady
THEOLOGICAL clinic
Mercurochrome is the name by
which the drug developed q few
months ago Is known. To its pow
e~s already have been attributed re-
narkable cures of diseases which
had withstood the assaults Of al
known specifics.
Latest Uses.
One Of the latest uses to which
Doctor Young has put mercuro-
chrome is to treat a child of four
years suffering from scarlet fever
complicated by erysipelas of a ma
lignant type. The usual serum and
treatment failed and mercurochroIne
was resorted to after hope had been
abandoned. Doctor Birkhead sIac'
gowan, Of Sydenham, called Doctor
Young to administer the injection
and in eight days the child was dis
charged from the hospital.
The miraculous properties of the
drug cured a case of abscess near
a kidney that had defied other tire X
ment.
Not long after reports in medical
journals had broadcast the knowl
edge of rnercurochrome among ply
Sicians a. I.os Angeles nva ri iti0noI
credited Doctor Young's pioneer work
with saving the life Of patient
who was sinking rapidly, due to
pneumonia which developed after
teeth were extracted. -
The patients temperature reached
lO5. Q swelling developed In his
joints and he had other dangerous
symptoms which yielded after the
first injection.
The wonders of the drug are
worked through the germicidal eff
feet upon the blood and other body
fluids.

MAMMOTH IVORY DRUG
ON MARKET IN LONDON

LONDON, Nov. 6.-Nobody here
seems to want mammoth ivory,
although 1t has the distinction Of
being $4,000 years old. for at the
quarterly ivory sale which took
place in town this week thirty-nine
tusks from mammoths-the ivory
weighing in all j. ton--was with
drawn from the sale because the
minimum price fixed could not be
obtained.
There Is some mystery as to the
origin of these tuslxs. Seven tons
arrived, only a portion Of the total
being put up for sale in Mincing
lane. The ivory came from the
Baltic, via the Kara Sea, having
been consigned to a Russian firm
Of traders.

The squirrels had long and
silky fur, natures protection in

additional fact that they are
starting in at this early date to
lay in winter provisions was
taken to mean that winter is

 CHAPTER NXxI.'
 Not a Welcome Visitor.
 But it was the Red Grange, much more than David, that took Dora on that long journey.
 It made her angry to think of Nigel's wife queening it there, where she herself wished to reign. She took extra pains with her toilet be- fore she started. and she certainly knew how to dress well.
 4 man who travelled down to Sel- mont in the same compartment with her thought he had never seen a more beautiful woman. He wondered enriously whom she was going to see, and why she looked from the win- dow so eagerly as the train drew into the station?
 She had to take the one shabby station fly to drive the distance from the station to the Red Grange.
 She inquired casually of the driver how long the Carews had left the neighborhood before she gave him David's address. She knew as we'll and better than he did,, but it ap- peased her conscience.
 Only Miss varney was in when she reached her destination.

"I like Mrs. Bickett," she began, and her use of my little kinswomans surname measured the depth of her annoyance, but can't say my souls my own when she's around. l just know l don't need a nurse any longer. And know that colored woman isn't moving the furniture and sweeping behind it. l can just feel it in my bones. But I'll be downstairs in two or three days. and then I'll straighten her out, I'll promise you.'

 Behind her mother-in-law's back Leila flashed a tremulous amused smile at me. Little Mrs. Durkee al ways has prided herself upon getting along without maid. and she knows nothing whatever about the independ- ence Of the few general workers left in captivity. She has the attitude of forty years ago toward them. and l foresaw fireworks when the little woman should undertake the discip- lining of the somber Lucy.
 When katherine's light, quick foot steps, followed by heavier dragging ones, sounded outside the 2 door. l saw our little hostess straighten her self in her chair. and assume an air of dignity which sat oddly but be- comingly upon her doll-like face. Katherine swung open the toor. and Lucy, dour and dark, came slowly into the room.
 "You wished to see me-" she questioned. addressing Mrs. Durkee. and giving the impression of seeing no one else in the room.
 "Yes, Lucy" Mrs. Durkee re- sponded pleasantly. '1 want you to serve the incest luncheon you can for my friends here. I'll tell you now what I want"
 The woman drew herself up 10 her full height and folded her arms.
 "You kin save yore bref," she an- nounced loftily. I'm a respectable woman and I'm holiness, too. don't lower myself getting a meal for no trashy bootleggers,"
