Printers Absolved of
Charge of Irreverence

An average layman, fairly familiar
with his Bible, hastily opened the
Good Book to verify the statement of
the Literary Digest's photographer
that In the Scriptures the personal
prOnoun representing our Lord did moi
begin with capital letter. TO his
surprise, the learned doctor was right.
And IL the reader turned back to the
Old Testament, he discovered also
that the prOnOuns referring to God
were In the same style. The reason
for this, the photographer explains.
is that early day prlntshops had mad
equate upper cases (capltals) and that
the rule was invoked. not because OF
a lack Of reverence, hut Of necessity.
SO far as we know, Bible publishers
are the only printers who have re-
manned true to this tradition. Ger.
tainly there are few, II any, newspa.
pers that do not use the upper case
first letter In a pronOun referring to
Christ or GOd.-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

His Life Dedicated to
Fight on tuberculosis

DR.. Edward Livingston Trudeau, the
pioneer In the modern treatment of
tuberculosis In America, was himself
a sufferer from the disease. In spite
of his illness. however. he did much
experimental work as well as dag
nosis and treatment DIR. J. A. Myers.
In a sketch Of Doctor Trudeau's life
In Hygeia Magazine, observes that
perhaps nothing In the whole field Of
medicine In the last fifty years has
done so much directly and indirectly
to relieve suffering and extend the
years Of usefulness Of so many peo-
pie as the principles that this physi-
clan laid down at the sanitorlum at
Saranac Lake.
It was Trudeau who opened the
first laboratory for the study of tuber-
culosis In America. It was he who
first grasped the principle of tuber-
culosis immunity. It was he who did
the first experimental work In tuber
culosis in this country. II was he who
first stained and visuallzed the tuber-
Gle bacillus In this country. It was he
who built that pioneer sanitarium at
Saranac Lake which has treated more
than $500 patients and today stands
In the front rank Of such institutions.

Death bv Sunshine

Sunshine, the great cure-all and
life-giver, is a paradox In one case at
least. Through the medium Of the
geranium it spells death to insects.
Insects which are attracted by the
leaves of this beautiful plant feast
upon them and then drop paralyzed
and usually die. Where the sun comes
in is indicated by the fact that the
deadliness Of the poison depends upon
the amount Of exposure to the sun of
the plant, those of longest exposure
being the deadliest.
This discovery has opened up a new
field in the study of insecticides and
experiments are being pushed to de-
termine what the death-dealing agent
may be.
