Scientist Claims Re-!
Cure for Common Cold

People who say that the wonders
o. nature never cease, Will find their
beliefs confirmed by the recent news
that a substance which nature in
tended for live-giving purposes is
now being used by a modern science
as q killer"
This material, known as chlOrO-
phyl, and dubbed ''life's greatest or
ganic element" is\the green color
ing matter of leaves and it derives
IFS name from two Greek words,
cnlorOn, meaning green, and phylor,
meaning leaf. Chlorophyn is univer
sally present in all growing vegeta-
Ole cells and makes plants green.
Strange as il sounds this same
ChlOrOphyll is now being used in the
fight against human infection; what
IS more, according to the recent re-
port of Is Philadelphia physicians
VINO have been working with this VII
tai substance for some time, it looks
es if this coloring matter would be
aCle, at last, to end a disease from
which practically no one in the world
IS immune-the common cold.
Dr.. Benjamin Gruskin, director of
TIE department of experimental pa
tnCiogy and oncolOgy at Temple uni
Versity in Philadelphia, discovered
the new and important formula that
uses Chlorophyll. He explained it to
a number of other physicians and
together they experimental with r.,
600 cases of infection, ranging from
common colds to pyorrhea (infec
ton OF the gums) and peritonitis
(infection of the abdomen). In every
one of these cases, after a solution
of chlorophyll in salt water had been
applied for certain specified periods
and IN certain ways, there were
encouraging results"
DR.. GruSkin proceeded on the way
10 his discovery of the good quail
ties of chlorophyll by studying close
~ the modern fight against infection
and the work of the great modern
scientists like Koch, Pasteur, Klebs
and Loeff1er. As a result of their
work, the fight against infection has
been divided into two parts: Ian
tisepsis or the use of disinfectant
TO destroy the Injurious bacteria by
chemical means; and 2-immuniZa-
ton, which means the building up of
resistance against infection by slim
ulating the antitoxins in the body or
by neutralizing the poisonous prod

Crucifixion Date Of Christ

At last we know definitely that
Christ was crucified on April 7, 30
A. D., A. T. Olmstead, professor of
oriental history, University of Chi
cago, said recently. This would
make Him only 80 years old at the
time-if our calendar begins with
His birth. But the Saviour was not
that young. He was really in His
late forties because the same new
knowledge which has accurately
dated the Crucifxion reveals that
the Christian calendar. supposed to
begin with the birth of Christ, starts
some IS to Is years too late. In
other words, we are living not in the
year Of Our Lord 1871, but some
where around 1859.

Storing Dishes

The natural way for q right-ha2d-
ed person to wash dishes is from
right to left-stacking the dishes on
the right, and putting them to drain
at the left. So the logical place to
store dishes used most often isruear
the place where they are dried, in
this case above the left drainboard.
Such dishes include cereal and
sauce dishes, cups. saucers, plates,
and platters. The logical place 10
store everyday silverware ard dish
towels is in drawers below this
drainboard.

those of human beings; and that institution full
of lunatics and Predetermined was not the best
school for him. The resentful little captive was
therefore placed in the home of a Mr.. Bruce, one
of the hospitals attendants, but sickness in the
family made the wild boy too much of a problem
so he was finally sent to the big farm owned by
George H. Smith, near Kowie, South Africa.
Readers of the article on the wolf children will
remember that the Rev. J. L. Singh, missionary,
found the two girls while on a tiger-hunting expe-
dition. His party saw three adult wolves and two
cubs emerge from den near Midnapore, India, fol-
lowed by two strange creatures, one large and one
small. The missionary prevented his huntsmen
from shooting in time to realize the creatures
human. A week later he returned to the spot and
captured the wolf-children. One was girl about
eight years old, the other girl about year and
a half old. The youngest girl died soon after
her capture, But Kamala, the survivor, lived to

and abroad. The story will soon be published in
a fascinating book by Professor Zingg To prove
us perennial interest, the story has been revived
again by scientific magazines and newspapers
Professor Zngg has made the same careful
search IN what most people have believed wholly
legendary and imaginative case-that of the
baboon-boy of Africa The truth of the matter is
now established, and it is no less remarkable than
that of the wolfgirls.
- Since the ape is mans closest animal relative
baby kidnapped and reared by these poor cousins
OF humanity, would seem to have chance for
better education than wolves could give it. But
would 1t? The question is answered in this case of
"Lukas," the wild boy rescued from the band of
South African balloons which also raised him from
babyhood.
Lukas is still alive to tell the tale, but whether
1t was strictly accurate tale depended on one
thing that he had in real fact been rescued nv tho
police from a band of apes
Through the kindly influence of DR. RAYMOND
A Dart. Professor of Anatomy at the University
OF Witwatersrand, johannesburg the police of
South Africa investigated the matter and now con-
1irmed 1t beyond doubt Following are the details
of the strange story.
IN 1904, Sergeant Venter and Lance Sergeant
Holsen were riding on patrol in the Grahams-
town District Coming to the edge of a large clear
ing, they saw band of balloons, playing and tum-
bling each other around like lot of children.
Baboons are such destructive raiders of crops
that most planters regard them as public enemy
number one. The officers of the law expressed
their disapproval of the long-nosed marauders by
firing their pistols and charging at them With
speed and agility the band vanished-al but one
laggard who moved so slowly that the officers
thought the beast must be wounded
Upon riding alongside to put the creature out
of its misery, what was their establishment to find
not baboon but boy of about twelve or fourteen
years scamperng somewhat clumsly on all tours
His hair was long and matted, his skin was

filthy and covered with innumerable scars
Seeing that he could not hope to escape from
the speedy horses the baboon-boy backed up
to tree; grinned and gave what seemed like
a half-trlghtened, childish giggle.
But when one of the policemen approached
within arms reach, the giggle turned into a
growl and the grin into menacng showing
of the teeth. 1t has been suggested that in
this may lie clue to the mystery of human
laughter. They dsmounted to find the boys
four-footed shamble not so inefficient as
it looked In fact he travelled so fast in and
out of the brush that they could not keep up
with him on foot
One of them had to hold him at bay on
horseback while the other followed on foot
and grappled with him. The grappler
scratched and bitten, yelled for help.
The two had a lively time getting their
small captive roped so that he could be slung y
on horse. Even then he almost caused e
runaway by biting the horse in the neck.
In police cell at Grahamstown, he snarled FhO
and fought, like any newly-caught wild
animal drinking water but at first refusing
all food. In this fury he was exactly like the
Wolf-glrls of Midnapore In his mind as in the
minds of the others, there was the same single
idea, an overpowering desire to get back to their
old life, the wolf-girls to their den, the baboon-
boy to his ape friends.
The reason the baboon- boy who was later
named Lukas, declined to eat was not so much lack
of appetite dislike for police barracks fare such
as bread, meat and potatoes. He caught and ate
flies and crckets in his cell and soon was accepting
mealies and most any sort of raw fruit or berry
Lukas was turned over to the local mental
hospital where due note was taken of his dispro-
portlonately-long arms. Some anthropoogists
would not believe that this could be caused by a
few years of quadruped life, insisting that such a
thing could only be brought about by centuries of
evolution.
The hospital authorities soon realized that
Lukas was not mental case but native boy who
needed to be re-cducated from baboon ways to
