ing q way whereby cataract may b
avoided.
DR.. Erlanger has effected surprising
cures on animals with eye troubles. He
believes he has discovered q new meth
cd of curing distemper in dogs. On
this he does not wish to make definite
statement. All he cares to say is that
in treating with electricity the eyes OF
dogs AFFLICTED with distemper he has
found that not only has normal eye
sight been. restored, but that the dis
temper has been effectively and perma-
nently cured as well.
cit all goes to strengthen my belief
in the great future of electro-therapy,'
says DR.. Erlanger. And there is one
thing 1 should like to emphasize, and
that is that have proved how even
small quantities of foreign ions, when
applied electrically. are capable of re-
storing the vitality of the cells and
making them fulfill their proper func-
tions."
Thus, while on one hand science is
expecting tremendous results from the
bombardment of the atom with the So
called alpha particles, equally great
things are expected from the lombard
ment of living cells with ions. In the
former the outcome is expected to be
the rupture and disintegration OF mat
ter; in the latter the restoration and
regeneration Of living organs.
Has Fought for Recognition.
Although DR.. Erlanger is still COM
paratively young, he knows what it
means to be called upon to put up
long struggle for the recognition Of his
ideas. A turning point in his career
came when he addressed the Thirteenth
International Congress for Ophthalmol-
been receiving an increasing measure
of academic recognition. Professor Ito,
eminent Japanese ophthamologist, has
recently testified to the success Of the
Erlanger method in japanese hospitals
Professor Abramowitsch of Kiev, prob
ably the most authoritative specialist on
eye diseases in Russia, has also adopted
the Erlanger method.
A steady hand and q special "elec-
trical sense" are required of those who
handle the Erlanger apparatus.
"The oculist of the future" says DR..
Erlanger, will be sort of engineer. He
will have to have complete command
over mechanical things. Whenever I
have to perform a very delicate opera
ton take out my car and drive
through the busiest streets Of Berlin.
But the acquisition of the electrical
sense whereby one feels how much
electricity is required In each case, can
come only through long experience.
Maybe it Is not something that can be
acquired at all. Maybe it Is just gift"

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BERLIN, october 81 (N.A.N.A.).-
Coincident with the daring experiment
of two Berlin scientists, who, by util-
izing lightning, are seeking to apply
some millions Of volts to break UP the
atom, another Berlin scientist is at
tempting to show that by passing an
exceedingly weak current OF electricity
through the eye, the most sensitive of
the human organs, 1t is possible to build
up again the little living cells and
tissues whose injury or degeneration
can result in total blindness.
DR.. Gustav Erlanger, one Of the
pioneers in Germany of the electro
therapeutic treatment Of eye diseases,
is firmly convinced that the great
miracle of electricity will not be the
final revelation of It's tremendous dis
ruptive power, but the manifestation
of its power to restore LIE to cells
that have ceased to function. Once
science has found way Of establish
ing the frequency of living cells, the
hope of a diseaseless human race will
be brought much nearer realization, he
maintains.
Method Is Simple for Patient.
DR.. changers method, called the
ionization of the eye, is really very
simple. At least, it is for the patient.
The negative electrode Is placed in his
hand. The positive electrode, preferably
zinc rod, is wrapped in cotton wool
and dipped into a salt solution and
then placed upon the naked eye. The
electric current, varying from one-half
to two milliamperes, according to the
nature of the trouble, Is passed through
the eye for q period lasting from 80
seconds to minutes.
Catarrhal ulcers that form on the
cornea can be cured after q few treat
ments," DR.. Granger says, while the
healing of the Inflammation Of the iris
can be effected without being followed
by painful trritations."
If DR.. changers contentious are sub
stantiated, medical science viii have q
most effective weapon In its fight

Milk Cooling

NttA 1nobnN
 Dairy farmers have heard 9 great deal about the necessity for eooiia of milk to have good quality when it reaches the market. To have this quality when it reaches the consumer is to the farmers advantage because the quality influences the amount com sumed. Many farmers think this is ust a fad of the milk companies but they must have good quality to stay in business. The companies cannot take poor milk and make good milk of it by pasturization or any other process.
 To be properly cooled milk should be placed in ice water immediately ter milking and brought to below fifty degrees and held at that temper ature until shipped At this temper ature it should reach the milk plant at a temperature below sixty degrees. The reason for these temperatures is that bacteria grow rapidly in temper atures above fifty degrees while at lower temperatures their growth IS retarded.
 The problem to the farmer is how Co do this at the lowest possible cost. Many experiment stations are work ng on the new types of electrical equipment for cooling milk and find them practical and reliable. However many farmers have ice houses and no electricity. To use ice economically is their problem. An insulated tank with cover is one of the largest factors in the economical use of ice. .f- !. Hfa allow an amount of ice and water equal to the volume of milk to be cooled.
 A tank recommended by N. Y. ! State Agricultural Experiment Sta i ton is made of four inches of con crete. lined with three inch cork board and then the inner lining of i fourteen gauge galvanized iron. The ! lid is made of two inches of cork and matched. one half inch boards. This tank has an overflow the height of the cans used As air cooling is very poor milk should be cooled in water at all seasons of Che year and the temperature of that water should be below forty-6ve degrees Go cool milk Go fifty degrees. In order to do this it is neecssrv Go use some ice during many months of the year practically at this season and in the summer and fall
 To use ice most economically there should be some ice in the tank at all times lt does not take as much ice to cool milk if the water is kept con- stantiy cold as it does when the water is allowed to get warm and then cool cd at milking time. If your tank has ice in 1t all the time your water is bound to be cold. your milk will be properly cooled is nlaced in the tank immediately after milking and there will be no trouble with having milk shipped back for improper cooling.
 Recently some truck loads of milk were shipped back because of high temperatures. This means a large loss to farmers and they must over come it by properly cooling their milk.
 Keep ice in your tank at all times and have properly cooled milk with the smallest amount of ice.
 We will gladly help In the planning of milk tank if you will get in touch with us at Putnam.
