of mine, told me what marvellous
results he had received through the
use of Ver-Wil-Ko, and advised
me to try it, which I did. I have
now taken three bottles of this
miracle medicine and I must say
the effect has been wonderful. My
appetite has returned and I can
eat anything with no fear of in
digestion or gas pains, all aches
and pains from Neuritis have van
iShed and I can do my work with
ease and go home at night with
plenty of reserve energy left in my
system. Life seems worth living
now with the new robust health
which was given me by Ver-Wil-
Ko."

Medical Advances Shown
BY WATSON DAVIS.


PORTLAND, Ore, July 9.-Medi-
cine's advances during the last year
are portrayed graphically in ex-
hlnlts before the American Medical
Associations annual meeting here.
The conquest of anemia, by feed
ing liver extracts, new ways of
feeding babies, additional hopeful
reports of hitherto hopeless paresis
being sUhdUed by malarial fever,
3 newer, speedier way Of diagnosing
cancer-these and many other
achievements are shown.
Hydrogen sulphide, familiar to
the practical joker Of school chem
istry classes as the gas with tbs
rotten egg odor is causing concern
and developing into a menace to
life, due to the greatly increased
production Of high sulphur crude
petroleum.
Deaths Are Caused
When the sulphur is taken out Of
the crude oil it sometimes is al
lowed 10 escape as hydrogen sui
phlde, which is poisonous. in addi-
ton otis bad smell. Deaths have
been caused in this way and the
United States bureau OF mines. in

OF this new danger to human life.
Babies 10 not get enough vitamin

York graduate medical school

FAINT diet supplies this lack.
When the unrulv groNtrs or dis

are DESTROYS Of knowing whether
they show generous traits likely

body. So DR.. BENJAMIN T. Terry Of
Rochester, MINI. has developed a
special microscopic examination for

which ne is teaching to physicians
at the meeting.
Eating liver has been proved to
be an effective way Of renewing the
red blood cells depleted BY anemia
and several commercial laboratories
are employing concentrated liver

forced to eat large quantities Of liver
for their healths sake.
Food Canned for BABY

Everyone in the manufacturing
cities Of Gary. Hammond and East

ditch digger. is predicting the early
arrival Of the day when the Calu-
met district will wrench the pres
tige of the greatest steel producing
center Of the world from Pittsburgh.
For the past two or three years
the Calumet district has claimed an
equal position in the steel world
with the PENNSYLVANIA center, but
this vas largely based on civic pride
statistics supplied by the chamber
Of commerce and the booster clubs.
Announcement by the United
States Steel Corporation that it
would expand production in the
Calumet mills 10 per cent has caused
the new DULL market on the district.
While the expansion brought custo-
mary cheers from the boosters at
the time. it's true significance is just
being appreciated.
The cost of the expansion will be
in the neighbornood of 100000, 900
with some steel experts estimating 1t
at closer to $3.50. 100000. Gary. how
ever. is already thinking in big
figures.

whether these estimates are a few
millions above or below the ultimate
cost, the extent of the program
readily CLASHES it as the largest

Last year the mills in the Gary
district produced 8.5o0.o00 tons OF
steel. The increase in production
facilities will bring this figure to
100000 tons or 18 per cent of the
total national production.
Omcials of the steel corporation
have not yet announced where the
proposed expansion will be put into
effect. They have expensive hold
ings both in Gary snd in South
Chicago.
Production in the district has in
creased about % per cent in the
past flve years. -Four independent
companies have recently completed
expansion Of their Calumet plants.
These include Inland Steel Com

Yacht and Open Boat viii
Compete Over Famous
River Course.
BY r. 0. BAILEY
sITnited Press Staff Correspondent

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 9.-The
greatest river race since the epic
contest between the Robert E. Lee
and the Natchez in 1870, in which
the former established the record of
90 hours and 81 minutes from New
Orleans to st. Louis, will be held
next week.
Dr.. Louis Leroy Of Memphis has
docked his now famous 'Bogie" at
the foot of Canal street, New Or
leans, and a mile down the river
Colonel George M. Cox, New Or
leans, holds his expensive yacht,
Martha Jane, in readiness for an
other race over the same course.
w. K. (Old Nam Henderson of
Radio Station KWKH fame, is put
ting the finishing touches to q spe-
cial radio broadcasting set aboard
the Martha Jane through which
he intends to tell "the little old
world about the race first hand.
Challenged to Race
Plans for the race we're COM
pleted at a meeting between Colonel
Cox and DR.. Leroy here early in
June.
II hear you are going to try again
this summer to beat the record of
the Robert E. Lee" Colonel Cox re-
marked. DR.. Leroy has tried and
failed four times.
Try is the right word Colonel, %
DR.. Leroy replied. |The Bogie and
I are going to do 1t this time"
II have a pretty good boat my
self" Colonel Cox said. What say
We race for it,"
you're on, DR.. Leroy replied.
Wager a Billion
A wager Of 5 cents in cash and a
billion dollars in honor" was made.
The two Sportsn1en put UP their
nickeIs and shook hands.
Colonel Cox returned to New Or
leans to put his boat, reputed to
have cost 100000, in condition for
the race. DR.. Leroy, a prominent
surgeon, spent what time he could
get away from his hospital putting
the final touches to the Bogie.
The Martha Jane will carry q
crew of twelve, and the Bogie
three. The former is fitted luxuri-
ously; the latter is an open speed
boat
The Bogie was considerably
battered in its four previous at
tempts to cover the treacherous
1,20O-rnile winding river course in
less than ninety hours.
Cheated Near Goal
Last year DR.. Leroy had almost
reached st. Louis several hours
ahead Of time when driftwood put
his boat out of commission less than
100 miles short of his goal
The race had created almost as
much interest as the famous Robert
E. Lee-Natchez contest did fifty
nine years ago. Then thousands Of
people gathered from far inland to
line the river banks as the two large
river steamers churned past.
