VETS FIGURES
BRANDED LIES
BY DRY CHIEF
Anti Saloon Leader Says
JaiIS Not Crowded
in Statement.

Claiming that the number of
prisoners in Indiana jails May 81,
1890, had increased only twenty
three over the number on the same
date in 1920, Ethan A. Miles, Indi-
ana Anti-Saloon League attorney,
today declared in a statement that
arguments Of ''wets" are fragrant
lies
The statement reads:
Those who publicly have been adj
vocating repeal Of the prohibition
Jaws and particularly the politicians
who have been crying for more
liquor and for more privileges of
buying liquor, have had a great deal
to say recently about the great in
crease in crime under prohibition
and one of their stock arguments IS
that the jails are oyercrowded.
THE writer took pains recently to
write to all the sheriffs of Indiana
for the number of prisoners in jails
on May 81, 1890 Replies received
from fifty-seven sheriffs show that
there never was a more fragrant lie
put out than these statements about
overcrowded 1ails."
Miles figures shows an increase Of
100000 in population and Of but
twenty-three in Jail population on
the date. The figure does not in
clue state prison populations.

Boyd from Montreal to Croydon,

been the teacher and inspiration of our great

Of how many great discoveries looms the portly
figure of the dean of American medicine?
DR.. WEIGH Is rotund. He possesses the ami
ability for which portly men are famous, but
none of the Softness Though immense in
body and mind, he is fiabby in neither. Well
read on all subjects and liking to talk with
authority, he knows where his knowledge ends.
But what has endeared him to generations OF
doctors is the warm personal interest and the
childlike JOY he takes in all the world offers.
The passing of 80 years has made him walk
little slower, but even now he thrills to
everything that is new.
There is hardly an honor which the Amer
lean world has to offer that it has not laid at
Dr. WEIGHS feet. He has been president of
the Congress of American Physicians ana
Surgeons, the Association of American Physi-
clans, the American Association for the Adj

years after Koch'S discovery the germ theory
was not universally believed.
"Koch's experiment was received with a great
deal of skepticiSm in the United States" DR..
WEIGH explained. when left New York L
doubt if any doctors except Austin Flint, who
was regarded as an old fogey, accepted it. Then
came discovery after discovery based on it, but
American doctors were not willing to see the
truth for a long time. Germany and France
both accepted it rapidly, but England was as
slow as We"
THE inability of even the leading American
doctors to recognize verify when they saw
it was one of many indications that when DR..
WEIGH went to Johns Hopkins, the American
medical world needed education above every
thing. The stage had to be set before there
could be productive research.

experimental work, stands out in the forefront

Harvard Medical School, the school at Ann
Arbor and few other medical schools had al
ready taken steps to improve the standard
There was consequently an eagerness on the
part of the medical profession to see the es-
tablishment of a school of higher order than
any which existed at that time We felt that to
add one more similar medical school to the
list Of those already existing would be of little
service to the community or to the country or to
the cause of medicine"
When DR.. WEIGH went to Johns Hopkins
pathology the study of the diseased conditions
of the body in all their aspects, was not being
taught as a unified science. Every university
had one department of bacteriology, the study
of germs; another of histology, the study of
tissues or microscopic anatomy" and third
OF pathological anatomy, but the professors did
not correlate their teachings, or In many cases
even agree.

all diseased conditions began to develop SYSTEM

cities were stricken, they established the doc
trine of Giving contagion," which corresponds
roughly with the theory of scientific bacteri-
ology.
But, as always. the doctors scorned philo-
sophical medicine. They believed that diseases
were caused by filth or by such contamination
of the air as produces bad smells. In those
days public health and the fighting of epidemcs
were thought of in terms of street cleaning and
sewage, which goes to prove that although
theories are bad, their applications may be bet
ter.
DR.. WEIGH had already been out of medical
school for one whole year when Robert Koch,
an obscure German scientist, isolated the bacil-
lus which causes anthrax, malady of cattle
The germ origin of contagious diseases had been
scientifically established
But American doctors went on playing with
bad smells as If nothing had happened. DR..

cepted and rejected academic positions built

eat and the air they breathe
was regarded, only SIS years ago. as the
stypid theorizing of philosophers ana
laughed at by all respectable scientists.
When medicine was at this low ebb, Dr.
William H. WEIGH, known to doctors as
"the dean of American medicine" was
graduated from the College OF PhySl-
clans and Surgeons at Columbia Uni
.versity.
He was forced to study abroad be-
cause an adequate medical training
could not be secured in the United
states. But since then, largely through
the influence of the Johns Hopkins
Medical School, with DR.. WEIGH as oean'
and the power of innumerable founoa-
lions on which DR.. WEIGH has served,
American education has risen to equality
with that of all other countries, except,
perhaps, Germany. And so American
doctors were enabled to play their part
in the international battle with germs
that was soon to come.
And now, when DR.. WEIGH is celebrat-
ing his eightieth birthday anniversary,
with the President of the United States
heading the committee to do him honor,
the war on germs has been so complete
-ly won that the young minds OF Amerl-
can medicine are turning to other
battlefields where the armies of man
still flee before unfathomed diseases
that appear like specters out OF the
night of mans ignorance and against
whom there is no appeal. Aiming no
longer to destroy exterior plaques, the
medical generals of today are modifying
against ills caused by the treachery of
the body itself.
His birthday anniversary, week from
this Tuesday, will be the occasion OF an
international celebration. Most OF
Americas distinguished scientists will

that all will be tied together by an IN
ternational radio hook-up.
DR. WEIGH does not feel the span
of threescore years and ten a
man may expect through biblical pre-
cept has been increased by the remark
able advance of science. The length of
a mans life, he believes, is regulated
by heredity But in the past few men
have lived long enough to let old age
kill them-now many do. This is the
triumph of modern medicine.
Laughing at prohibitionistS who claim
they have aided doctors in frightening
mems actual lives, DR.. WEIGH says that
during his years of research he has
found no evidence that moderate drink
ing shortens life.
The SIS years during which DR.. WEIGH
has been shaping medical destiny cover
practically the whole meteorological era.
He was graduated from medical school
a short time before medicine was trans
formed by the scientific demonstration
of the germ origin of disease. Although
Pasteur had been working for quarter
of a century, he had not, in 1872, at
tackled the problem of human infectious
diseases. Koch was still unknown.
