swered: Was the character of the
proposed visit such that, if the mis-
sion were successful, it would be
inimicsl to any one, and to whom?
Replies. too, to these questions
would be sought. What we're the
threats which Mrs Robins says he
received from Florida bootleggers?
Who sent them and why? Where
are the writer's of the threats now?
Where were they on the day he
disappeared from point in the CEN
trail part of New York City?'
of course his last movements in
New York would be investigated in
detail Why did he come to New
York? Did he carry out his plans
here as he expected? Whom did he
talk with at the City Club, where
he is reported last to have been
seen? These queries would be made.
These also would follow: How
did he leave? If in a taXicab. what
taxicab and where is the driver?
If in taXicab, where did the
driver take him?
With whom he talked at the
City Club, and. what about, how he
acted and what he carried-this
would be aScertained.
Was he afraid? Was he nervous?
Was he intensely interested in his
reported mission at the capital?
Did this reported mission seem to
be one of tremendous account in
his mind? All this would be
learned in preliminary investiga-
ton"

HEALTH FARLEY
Sole Survivor of Yellow
Fever Tests Lives
in State.

Indianapolis likely will be chosen
for the 1888 session Of the American
Public Health Conference, it was
announced today by DR.. William F.
King. state health director.
Or. King will attend the confer
ence at Washington, D. c.. Oct. "a
to %, AND present the invitation to
come to this city next year, he said.
Two items of particule~ interest
to the conference will be cited by
DR.. King in issuing the invitation.
One is the fact that first public
announcement of the Havana ex-
pertinent Of yellow fever transmits
sion was made here by the late
DR. Walter Reed at a meeting Of
the American Public Health Asso-
citation at the old German House
in 1900.
The other is that the sole sur
vivor among the soldiers used in
making the mosquito tests is John
r. Kissinger, Huntington, Ind.
DR.. King plans on having Kis-
singer as guest of honor at din
ner when the association meets here
next year.
AS a private in the medical corps
in Cuba Kissinger volunteered his
services to Reed. and permitted
himself to be bitten by mosquitoes
until infected by yellow fever.
From the Reed experimentation
came the development of the tech
nique which practically has wiped
out the dread disease and permit
ted the white man to live in the
tropics.

Four Conclusions Cited

The facts now available" he said,
point to four possible conclusions:
Colonel Robins vanished of his
own voition; he was murdered and
The body disposed of; he is suffering
from amnesia, or he has been kid

TO establish which or these theo-
ries is most plausible. certain inten-
sive inquiries, which. If the case
we're handled, say, by Scotland
Yard, automatically would be put
IN motion at the outset, would be
undertaken.
First, I believe. investigators
would determine whether there was
any reason why Colonel Robins
should want to disappear.
Would Examine Correspondence
They would examine his recent
correspondence. They would learn
wheter he left any notes and what
his most recent letters to others
said.
His medical history would be
examined. His recent physical and
mental condition would be learned.
His acquaintances would be asked

Doctor Costs
New York World-Telegram)

New York World Telegram
Doctors without patients; sick peo-
pie without doctors-how get them
together, making the doctors happy
and prosperous and the sick people
we'll, without imposing an unbearable
financial burden upon them?
DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary
OF the interior, discussed this gen.
eral problem at the annual dinner OF
the Milbank Funds advisory council
at the Academy of Medicine Saturday
night.
The problem seems comparable
with the economic phenomenon of
granaries overlooking with wheat
while breadlines overflow with hun
CRY people.
Secretary Wilbur proposed organ
lied, coordinated" effort as one solu-
ton of the medical problem. He cited
successful instances of ttis:-A Los
Angeles clinic contracted with several
employe groups to provide them al
| most complete medical service for 81
person per month; Baylor Univer-
slty hospital in Dallas, Tex, sells hos
pltal insurance to school teachers
and others for so cents a month.
BY way of contrast to these few
attempts at organization, DR.. Wilbur
cited the present chaos which leaves
large percentage Of the people with
out proper medical attention and i'm
poses a grossly inequable burden upon
those who do 60 to doctors.
One OF the most astonishing things
stated by DR.. Wilbur was that from
30 to 80 per cent of school children
on examination by dentists are found
to have some decaying teeth. Add
TO this all OF the adenoids and bad
tonsils that are not removed, all OF
the eyes that are suffering from
strain or injury, and all of the wide
spread effects Of malnutrition, and II
can be seen that organized medical
care on q tolerable financial basis il
the field Of pediatrics alone would be
OF Unreasonable benefit to the ma.
Ition.

country. He says:
AT various times during the last

effects Of prohibition upon the farm

Bismarck, North Dakota,
March ~. 1892.

Editor, Tribune:
Those who have an idea that the
repeal Of prohibition would benefit
agriculture have probably made no
study Of the subject. Statistics show
that. before prohibition, brewers and
distillers used less than one per cent
of all grains raised in this country,
so to repeal prohibition would supply
q new market for only one per cent
Of all grains.
But how did prohibition make up
for the one per cent loss Of demand?
The answer Is that, since prohibition,
there has been an increase Of 28 per
cent in milk consumption. Even the
most cock-sure opponent Of prohibi-
ton should. concede that far more
than one per cent Of the grain crop
was required to produce the increased

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal Of the American
Medical Association

Among the most common growths
on the human skin are warts Of Ill
types. Almost everybody has q cure
for warts and some rather foolish
idea Of how they originate.
Warts sometimes disappear spon-
taneously, but the disappearance Is
usually credited to the fact that some
one has murmured potent charm
at midnight in q cemetery or buried
a string containing as many knots as
there are warts.
A wart causes little trouble but 1t
can grow awfully large in the sight OF
the person who owns It. The only
time warts cause trouble is when they
are situated in places where pres
sure makes them painful.
There seems to be some evidence
that the wart is an infectious condi-
ton caused by a filtrable virus, or an
organism so small that it cannot be
seen under the microscope. However
1t cannot be easily infectious since
there are many people who are In
contact with warts but never have
them.
The ordinary wart can be removed
by many methods: sometimes merely
through softening by the application
Of corrosive chemicals; sometimes by
cutting or sandpapering, and some
