$50 YEARS AGO TODAY
BY JONATHAN A. RAWSON, JR.
Story of the u. S. A.

France whom Congress appointed ex-
actly one month ago. DR.. Franklin
alone makes the journey across the
Atlantic. Silas Deane, one of the
three. Is already in Europe, and
Thomas Jefferson. the other commits
sioner, has been obliged to decline
the appointment. and his place will
he taken by Arthur Lee. who Is also
in Europe. DIR. Franklin Is the dean
of the delegation, the accomplished
diplomat whose long training in
statecraft and international affairs
both at home and in England has
prepared him for this great task as
no other man Is prepared.
His departure today therefore.
though attended by no public cere-
mony, Is quite as momentouS ar
event for this new nation as though
the three commissioners were sailing
together. The omission Of formal
public farewell is part of a careful
plan to safeguard DR.. Franklin's
safety on his voyage. Details regard
ing his departure have been withheld
from publication. lest the enemy
learn the time and place of his going
and attempt TO capture HIS ship and
make him prisoner.
DIR. FrankhnS credentials consist
of letter from members of the com
mittee of secret correspondence, ad-
dressed to c. w. +. Dumas. an
American representative now in
France. who. it is understood. will
meet DIR. Franklin upon his arrival
and conduct him to Paris, where he
will join Mr.. Deane and Mr.. Lee.
After the Declaration of Independ
ence was adopted on July 4. hope
was strong among the patriot leaders
that France would soon ally herself
with the United States against her
ancient enemy, England. But since
July there has been the defeat Of
Washington's army on Long Island.
and the British have gained New
York. DR.. Franklin's first effort I'm
France will be to satisfy the French
ministry that Americas prospects for
a final victory have not been ruined
by these reverses, for IT is we'll known
that France will have no alliance
with America if she thinks that
Americas cause is doomed to fail.

Mrs. T. M. c. writes: "Will you

me what information you can about

Answer-Cod liver oil is rich in
essential vitamins. 1t also helps the
body to make use of the calcium and
phosphorus in the diet. I think you
are making a mistake to use cod liver
oil in place of other foods. Rather it
should be used in addition to them.
Two eggs a day could not be so pro-
hibitive in price that you could not
afford them. I feel sure, If you can
afford cod liver oil. AS the children
are and 10 years old and are prob
ably in good health tat least you did
not state that they were not l should
give the eggs rather than the oil,
unless you can afford both. If you
do give the oil, one teaspoonful before
or after each meal would be an or

II is expected that the micro-tech-

ing the effect Of different drugs tried
out on the tuberculosis cell and the
body cells which it attacks. Since any

OF such character that It will act
on the cauSatiVe germ and yet not
harm the body tissues, accurate in
formation as to the precise reaction
OF any suggested remedy Is extremely
important.
The apparatus has likewise proved
valuable in isolating individual bac-
terra with which to start pure cultures
for experimental work. This has been
done recently by DR.. Morton G.. Kahn
at the same institution. Considerable
information about the physiology OF

means Of this new microscopic tech
