Your Health
by DR.. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

WHENEVER your body is invaded by poisons of
w germs, it begins to develop substances which
oppose the effects of these poisons These sub
stances, which circulate in the serum of the blood
are known antitoxins.
If your body does not develop sufficient amounts
of strong antitoxns to oppose the poison you are
likely to develop serious complications and perhaps
die from the effects of the poisons.
Modern science. however takes advantage of this
now knowledge and helps the body by giving it
antitoxins developed in the body of animal like
the horse. Thus horses may be injected with the
poSonS from the scarlet fever streptococcus and
after time the serum of the horse contains the
antitoXinS. The serum then be withdrawn and
injected into the patient who has scarlet fever.
Use of this substance in many thousands of cases
indicates that it has real virtues in shortening the
attack of scarlet fever and in lessenng the number
of complications.
IF you once have had scarlet fever you are not
Il likely 10 catch it again. because the antisub-
stances that you have developed remain in your
body and prevent you having the disease again
The person who has not had scarlet fever how
ever, may not develop these antbodies Therefore
modern medicine helps the body to form antisub-
stances without having attack of scarlet fever.
What 1t really does is to give the patient very
mild dose OF scarlet fever toxin developed from the
germs that cause the disease. In the modern sys-
tenn, five very small doses are injected underneath
the skin week apart
These stimulate the body to produce antisub-
stances against the poison. The antisubStanceS may
while they are in the body, the patient does not
develop scarlet fever.
A SKIN test has been developed by doctors to
N find which persons are likely to get scarlet
fever when exposed to it and which are not likely
TO get il. The condition of being likely to con-
tract disease called immunity
The skin test is simple. A very small amount Of
the toxic substances is injected underneath the skin
If the person tested has enough antisubStance
in his blood to protect him against the disease the
skin does not appear to be changed If however
he does not have enough antibodieS pink spot will
develop at the point where the injection made
People who thus develop pink spot need to have
the five injections OF the scarlet fever toxin, to
stimulate them into development of the necessary
antisubstances.

Foreigners complain that their

to reach their destination in Yum

loss from breakage.
On the other hand, they observe,
French shipments somehow enjoy
much better luck, arriving in a
few days in good condition.
Freight rates, too, they say,
seem subject to sudden change on
the French railway. True or not,
it is remarked that when some

ID UT in all my days I never came quite so close to
ID gross violation of professional ethics as at the
second session of the Writ hearing. 1t began when
McGugin of Kansas began to heckle Mary Taylor

toned only in the testimony of the good

list by the simple statement. She nodded her head.
It seemed to monstrous that slight
gesture should involve a diffident young in
the ordeal of facing Kleg lights. cameramen and
congressman from Kansas equipped with lot of
silly questions.
McGugin sat only two feet away from the press
table and when he began roaring at the witness
and distorting her straightforward answers 1 was
under a great temptation. Only by the supreme
exercise of what 1 facetiously call my will power
could I refrain from touching him the elbow
and saying, Remember you are the gentleman from
Kansas"
Of course, don't like Dr. Writ which is hardly
a distinction likely to win anybody a silver cup.

raises the best opium in China,
which is always in great demand.
The drug is by far her principal
export. On the other hand, she
imports rice. Her best land is
turned over to the poppy.
YwangSi, the province east of
Yunnan, has not yet felt Frances
influence to any great extent.
France has no railway there. She
does have line from Hanoi, how
ever, as far as the KWangSi bor-
der, and a concession for railroad
connecting the head of the Gulf
of Tonkin with Yunnan-fu.
So, beginning with Korea and
Manchuria, and continuing in a
StupendouS semi-circle through
Mongolia, Sinkiang, Tibet, Yum
nan and Kwangsi, the great pow
ers are pressing in on China,
closer and closer.
Paralyzed by her own impo-
tence, and without much hope of
help from the tottering peace
machinery, her horizon is dark in

DEIPING, April 23.-France,
L with the worlds greatest col
onial empire next to Great Bri-
tain's, has her eyes on a slice of
China as big as the thirteen
original American colonies.
Imperturbably, the French are
watching every move made on
the Asiatic chessboard by Japan,
Britain, Russia, and even China,
in Central Asia and elsewhere, so
that no possible turn of the deli
cately-p poised balance Will catch
her mapping.
If China blows up, or is torn
asunder by the ever INCREASING
pressure from without, France
will be on hand for ner share of
the spoils.
Her sphere of influence or zone
of special interest is the territory
of Yunnan and KWangsi on
French Indo-China's northern
frontier, the Luichow peninsula
and the Island of Hainan at the
peninsula's point.
Given the island and the PENN
sula, the Gulf of TonKin, which
she already dominates, would be
as French as Long Island Sound
is American.
And France strategically would
occupy position in the Far East
second to none save Japan.
NUNNAN is the second largest
i of the eighteen provinces of
China proper. In area it is almost
10000 square miles. Kwangsi is
nearly as large.
With Hainan and the neighbour
ing peninSula-on which France
controls the leased territory
Kwangchau-wan-the total area
amounts to approximately $4,000
square miles.
Roughly, it corresponds to all
New England, New York, New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina and Georgia.
The Occidental as yet but family
grasps the enormous size of Asia.
France is not at all excited over
Japans encroachments in the
north. She appears but mildly
interested in what the British are
doing in the God Land" of Tibet,
or the maneuvers of the other
powers down in the hell-hole of
Chinese TurkeStan.
If there is to be new scramble
for concessions" at the expense
of China. France has her bit
already Staked out.
There is a tacit understanding
between the French rooster and
the British lion in southern and
western China. Burma, bordering
Yunnan on the west, was once
part of China Now it is British,
lust as Indo- China is French.
But some time ago, when the
lion proposed to extend his rail-
road-which runs across Burma,
via Mandalay, to the Yunnan
border-on into China to connect
with the head of navigation on the

way into Yunnan from Mandalay
and the Indian ocean. Econom-
ically and nilitarily, she controls
the province as matters stand.
No arms or munitions can get
in save by Frances leave, and in
all matters of ordinary trade she
has the inside track on the rest
of the world.

GONE time ago the war lord of
~ Yunnan wanted to buy some
airplanes. An enterprising Amer

barred.
