Institute Head
Holds New Theory
Anaemia Treatment

Pittsburgh, Nov. - (AP) - DIR.
Frederick NJ, Allen, director of the
Physiatric Institute of Morristown,
N. j., in an address before the Alleg-
heny County Medical society, today
reported encouraging results of a
new treatment for pernicious
anaemia, generally considered vir-
tually hopeless disease.
DR.. Aliens theory is that pernicious
anaemia belongs to the group of dis
eases having to do with the assimila-
ton by the body of nutriment, like
diabetes and kidney diseases. The
cause is conceived to be some infec-
ton which has damaged the blood
forming organs, chief of which is the
bone marrow, and upset the norma
equilibrium between blood formation
and blood destruction. The principal
organism causing trouble is supposed
to be blood destroying pus germ.
The first step in treatment consists
in locating and removing surgically
the focus of infection, believed in
many cases to be in the teeth. The
gall bladder is thought also to be a
seat of infection in some cases.
A second phase of the treatment Is
a diet planned to favor survival of
the red blood corpuscles.
Another departure is the elimina-
ton of blood transfusions and all
the drugs and other forms of treat
ment formely employed, with rare
exceptions in emergencies.

Second Meeting Current Events Club

Current Events Club held list Sec
ond meeting of the season with
Mrs. Georgianna Lilly, Academy
street. There was very little bust
ness to be taken up. The matter of
tn Hallowell folders occupied a
little time, then the question of the
character of the current events to
be given this year in response to the
roll call was taken up, and it was
decided to make a specia, effort to
have them of real Importance.
The paper OF the afternoon was
given by Mrs. James D. Nutting. Her
subject was John Singer Sargent.
Mrs. Nuttings treatment was clear,
direct, forceful, and extremely. in
teresting. Her paper was illustrat-
ed with photographs an dengravings
of the work of this great American
artist.
Mrs. Nutting began her account of
Sargent by a sketch of his life and
the influences that had made him
what he was, then went on to dis
cuss more in detail the better known
of his paintings. Sargent, she said,
was born in Italy, in 1856, of Ameri-
can parents, and always referred to
himself as an American. His early
education was received in Italy. He
had the benefit of all that money
and travel could do for him, and was
already on his way to distinction of
some sort when he met the artist

opportunity to lift up the standards
of women in business and teach vo-
cational guidance to young women

late them to public affairs. In clubs

considerable change in the attitude
of many.
Tonight some of the best speakers
in the city, who have never failed to
come forward and help upon any oc-
casion that Gardiner High called
upon them for will be heard. J. H.

upon some of the members of the
team and Manager Marley to give
their opinion on the coming clash.
The cheer leaders will be Miss Mana
Marson and George Standish. and
they are both good ones, ones that
can produce plenty of noise iw they
have proper backing.
Alumni, students and friends of
the school should be present at this
rally tonight and at the game Sat-
urday to lend all the support pos
sible to help the team. The student
body will undoubtedly be there 100

invasion of New England by the pro-
ducers of West Virginia emi-bitum-
nous coal were discussed today by a
special committee which met here
preparatory to the monthly meeting
tomorrow of the Smokeless Coal OPP
orators Association of West Virginia.
Committee members said the plan
included establishment of a service
department to teach New Englanders
the use of the fuel.
The work of the committee, it was
said, was the preparation of a set
of resolutions to be presented to the
membership of the association to-
morrow. Spokesman for the opera :
tors said they were now in, a posi-
ton to offer to New England a suf-
ficient supply of smokeless coal to
supplant the anthracite coal upon
which this section of this country
has been depending for years as a
domestic fuel. One handicap has
just been removed, they said, by the
action of the interstate commerce
commission in ordering the estab-
lishment of competitive all-rail rates
from the West Virginia coal fields to

Frederick Leighton, fell under his
spell and determined upon the career
as an artist. He studied in Paris
under Coro1us Duran and his first
work of note was a portrait Of that
master. Others of his paintings are
"Carmencita'' and the "Three
Graces." He painted the portraits OF
nearly all the celebrities of England
and of Roosevelt, Wilson, Rockefel-
Ter, Leonard Wood, and others In
America. His frieze of the prophets
in the Boston Public Library are
one of his finest works. The outline
of Sargent's life and work thus given
by Mrs. Nutting was of great value
and real interest.
