The army medical corps has again
rendered signal service to human
ity. One of the diseases that be-
falls those that live in the tropics
is the dengue fever. The sufferer
experiences pains all over the body
together with severe headaches.
The death rate is practically nil,
but the sufferer Is incapacitated
for many days.
According to reports, an epidemic
in Manila, Philippines, last year in
capacitated more than half of the
population for an average of six
days. The medical officers of the
army took the matter in hand, and
conducted an intensive investiga-
ton along the lines followed by
Major Walter Reed and his brother
officers in Cuba, which resulted in
the discovery of the cause and pre-
vention. of yellow fever. Some
twenty-odd soldiers-natives and
Americans-voluntee their serv-
ices for the tests and the expert
ments that followed.
Results are set forth by a report
of the board that conducted the
which have just reached
officials Of the War Department.
The board found that dengue fever
is caused by the bite of the
mosquito. This is the same insect
that carries the yellow fever germ.
Now that the exact cause has been

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Sept. 2.
Physicians at Butterworth Hospital
today were doubtful whether they
could save the life of Miss Nellie
Carder. twenty-six. of Dayton, Ohio,
who accepted a dare" last night
and ate poison tablets in a chop
suey parlor while a score of guests
looked on. The girl said she did
not want to recover.
Fay Wilson. thirty-two, recently
discharged from the State prison at
jackson, where he had served a
year for killing a Detroit man dur
ing a quarrel, dared the girl to
,eat the poison, according to police.
He was not held.
Just before relapsing into I'M
consciousness at the hospital the
girl told how she hae aided wilson
in his court fight in Detroit and
how she had later been cast aside
after he gained his freedom.
Miss Carder had just buried her
mother at Dayton when she receiV-
ed a telegram from Wilson asking
her to meet him here, she said.
All of the money she had, except
seventeen cents went to pay for
her ticket, and she arrived here
weak from want or food. Wilson
met her at the station and took
her to an inn where she ate. Will
son suddenly suggested that they
call .'quits," she said.
"I'm all alone in the world, and
when he said that, l thought at
first he was joking. because we
had planned on getting married,
Miss Carder said. But when |
saw he meant it 1 was just over
whelmed."
