JUVENILE ANEMIA

Forty years ago chlorosis, "the green sickness" was a fairly com- mon condition. This is the name given to a type of anemia which occurred most frequently among young girls, girls in their teens, whether they were of the domestic servant class, industrial workers, members of poor families living un- der privation or daughters of the well-to-do. Chlorosis is now rarely or never seen by doctors in general practice. It was called "the green sickness" because the victims pal Tor was not merely the blanched look of ordinary secondary anemia nor the muddy pallor of severe anemia from various poisons or fre- quent slight hemorrhages, but curious greenish yellow tinge, which was perhaps the more striking be- cause the eyes generally had a pecu- liar brilliancy and the whites (sclerotics) looked bluish.
 Whatever the essential cause of chloritis was, now remains a ques- tion for speculation. But a similar if not identical type of anemia, formerly unknown or unrecognized, is now as common as chlorosis was in bygone days. This is called nu- tritional anemia or hypochromic anemia. Hypochromic is just an- other awful medical term, meaning under color, that is, the hemoglobin or coloring matter of the blood Is reduced out of proportion with the reduction in number of red cor puscles in the blood. This hy- pochromic or nutritional anemia occurs chiefly in women from 35 to 50 years of age. As the name, nu- tritional anemia, implies, the cause is deficiency in the intake or as- similation of the elements essential for making blood and for rebuilding the hemoglobin, and iron is only one of the elements essential for that purpose.
 It is not the lack of iron in the food, as was formerly assumed by physicians and is still assumed by most laymen. It requires only about A of grain of iron 8 day to keep the blood full strength. The factor that is lacking in most cases of simple achromic or nutritional ane- mia is rather a daily vitamin ration to maintain good assimilation or utilization of iron and other essential elements. The vitamin lacking is vitamin B complex-one or more factors that naturally grow in the B-complex.
 These individuals who have mod- crate, sometimes severe hypochromic or nutritional anemia, may get marked temporary improvement by taking relatively large doses of soluble iron, but for lasting effect and general restoration, rejuvena- ton, as 1t seems in many instances, 1t is necessary to keep the daily in- take of vitamin B complex we'll up above what might be sufficient to maintain good nutrition and good health in normal person. One or more factors of the vitamin B com- pyiex are indispensable for the as- similation and retention of iron and other mineral elements required by the blood. Tn practice vitamin B complex seems to be nearly as bene- ficial in correcting simple secondary anemia as it is in the cure of hy- pochromic nutritionai anemia.

YEAR 1888 ENDS IN
BUSINESS UPSWING

The following business review
is given by the Maryland Trust
Company of Baltimore, in it's jan
uary letter, Trade Trends:
The year 1898 has ended with d
business upsWing which, in ex-
tent, has not been paralleled in
recent years. In six months,
more than 60 per cent of the pre-
yiOus unprecedented decline was
made up. The closest comparison
was in 1888, but the rise then
continued for only four months
and was followed by severe
slump. This recent gain exceeded
even the most optimistic outlook
of early fall, and in some lines it
has been sufficient to bring the
years average up to 1887. Indus
try as a whole probably averaged
in 1887, SO far as output was con-
cerned, but profit data will not be
available for some time.
The gain starting in midsummer
was a result both of natural
causes, such as deferred need for
goods and replenishment of in
ventories, and the anticipation
Of increased Government eXpendi-
lures. While business sentiment
has improved along with the ac-
tual gains, the enthusiasm which
such raise might be expected to
develop is lacking in many direc-
tiOns, and there is serious doubt
in some minds regarding current
movements. With the present
phase of pump priming at or near
its peak, many feel we have ex-
perienced about all that can be
expected at the present time. The
consumers goods industries and
automobiles have recovered a
good share Of their previous loss
es recently, but Improvement in
the most depressed industries de-
pends on more basic factors than
increased consumer spending.
Excess reserves in mid-Decem-
ber touched an all-time high rec
ord of $3,4SO,OOO,OOO Bank de-
posits also rose to new high lev
els. They are being used less ef-
fectively, however, than at any
other time on record. Deposit
turnover was less than half as

SEEK Low COST FEED
FOR STATE CATTLEMEN
Maryland DistiIlers Supply
Free Grain For Maryland
University EXperimen
With New Fodder For Stock
and Dairy Herds.

Experiments which may revolu-
tionize the fattening of beef cattle
and the feeding of dairy stock have
been made possible by the Assocla-
ton of Maryland Distillers and
Allied Industries, in cooperation
with the Maryland Experiment
Station, and are under way now IN
the Animal and Dairy Husbandry
Department Of the University of
Maryland Professor Kenneth G.
Ikeler, head Of this department,
made announcement Of the expert
ments today. He said they would
be continued until next May 1, at
which time, it is hoped, conclusive
results may be available for the in
formation of the cattle feeders and
dairy farmers of the State.
The experiments are to deter
mine the extent, if any, to which
other grains may be replaced with
wet and dried rye grains, ny
products of the distilling industry,
in the feeding of cattle and dairy
COWS. These by-products have
been supplied for experimental pur
poses by members of the distillers'
association without charge and are
always available in large quantities
at various distilleries, at nominal
price or free to those who will haul
them away.
Distillers' rye dried grains are
high in fibre content as compared
with homegrown grains but lower
in digestible nutrients, having ap-
proximately rs per cent those of
No. corn, 80 per cent those of
barley, and 50 per cent those of
oats. Yet this same feed is much
higher in it's content of protein and
fat than any of these feeds.
Professor Fred H. Leinbach is in
charge of the test feeding of four
lots of 10 cattle each.
The feeding trials will continue
for $50 days, when the cattle will
be slaughtered and data obtained
to determine the fattening qualities
of each of several combinations Of
concentrates fed.
The experiment to determine the
feeding value of distillers' rye siop
in the ration for dairy cows is
under the supervision of Professors
M. H. Beery and K. L. Turk. The
primary object is to determine
whether the dry matter in the dis
tillers' slop will replace an equal
amount of dry matter in a good
grain mixture. Complete records
will be kept of milk and butterfat
production and live weight on all
cows. In addition, observation
will be made to determine the phys
ical effects upon the animals of
the rye slop with special reference
to it's laxative effects and effects
upon the condition of the udders Of
the cows. Careful studies of the
effects of the distillers' rye slop
