BATTLE OF PALO ALTO

May 3
IN May 8, 1896. zoe battle of
~ Palo Alto, Tex, was fought
between 1000 American troops and
5000 Mexicans.
The battle, resulting in an Ameri-
can victory, was looked upon in
Washington as a, Mexicon invasion
of United Stataes territory, since
the Polk administration had set up
a claim to all southwest lands north
of the Rio Grande river, after
settling the northwest boundary
dispute with England by treaty.
The battle was the immediate
cause of the Mexican war, declared
less than a week later. It was
a feeble effort on the part OF Mexico
to prevent General Taylor, United
States commander in the southwest,
from pushing on TO the Rio Grande.
General Taylor's political star be-
gan to rise at Palo Alto. He be-
came the first military hero the
country had had in a long time and
this finally brought him to the
presidency.
Taylor led American troops to
victory in four of the ten chief
battles Of the Mexican war, includ-
ing Monterey and Buena Vista.
General Winfield Scott won the
other six The MeXicans won no
major victory during the entire con-
f1iCt.

PeriIs of Modern Life

TINE statistical department OF the
1 Metropolitan Life Insurance
COMPANY reports that diabetes, can
Ger. cerebral hemorrhage and chronic
nephritis continue to show an in
crease during the first three months
of this year.
Many medical men believe that
the flu epidemic is responsible to
some extent, but very few are will
ing to deny the presence of more
insidious and far-reaching causes.
There obviously is something
about modern life which promotes
certain maladies, especially those of
the heart, brain and kidneys.
At all events. We are not making
the progress in their treatment or
repression that we have made with
regard to such diseases as typhoid
fever, smallpox, diphtheria and yell
low fever.
Most of the diseases reported as
increasing are treated with drugs
Though physicians administer drugs,
they do not make them. neither does
the pldrnaClSV WHO sells Ulleln.
Drugs are made by large manu-
featuring establishments. These eS-
adjustments are allied closely to
the chemical industry.
All of which brings us back to
the re-entry of the German chemi-
cal trust into America, the state
ment of Francis P. Garvan that this
threatens TO destroy our chemical
independence, the question Of
whether the drug industry has be-
come a monopoly through interlock-
ing directorates and holding COM
panies and the further question Of
whether the food and drug act is
being as rigidly enforced as the
situation calls for.

Another story is that OF a man
who placed his entire savings of
81, 100 on one turn of the cards. The
story does not tell whether he was
trying to make two pair stand up
or to fill a bob-tail flush, but it
does say that twenty-four hours
later his hair was white. Apparent
ly the cards failed him.
Most specialists in diseases of the
skin express doubt about these in
stances, but at least one authority
admits that the thing has occurred
in rare cases.
The great trouble is that our
present knowledge of the way in
which the hair grows and Of its
anatomic structure is difficult to
correlate with any possible sudden
grayneSS.
The color of the hair is due to
pigment in the sfafe. The blood
supply of the hair is at the root
