history, and a champion all over.

Villa died of an infected tooth

Germ
Fight

bacillus which, introduced into an
animal with pneumonia, would
attack the germ Of pneumonia
the pneumococcus-and eat
away its outer capsule. exposing
il TO the action of the immune
substances in the blood and TO
chemical agents such as the sui
fonamide drugs.
When seen under the micro
scope the pneumococcVS always
is invested with a capsule of
some material which seems to be
quite resistant to attack by de-
structive agents. so that the
action of this substance, which
has been called polysaccharidse,
does battle with the germ Of
pneumonia by removing its
armor.
DOCTOR DU BOS extracted
~ another protective ag EN- t
which he called gramicidin from
a soil bacillus which has true
antiseptic action in that il inter-
feres with growth and possibly
kills off germs in the body with
out harming the body cells. .
Another step forward was
made by Doctors Herrell and
Heilmann at the Mayo Clinic
with a substance which seems TO
be antagonistic 10 germs which
cause skin infections.
Still another of these soil ba-
cilli. penicillin, whic n has
aroused more enthusiasm than
any other, can be given hypoder-
mically without any danger to
the body cells; it kills off many
germs which are resistant TO the
action of sulfonamide drugs.
All of this work is in the eX-
'perimental stage, but the most
conservative workers in the field
seem to feel that it opens up
new and exciting chapter. in
mans long fight against his nat
ural enemy, the germ.

What ! myself saw in my four
years In Europe gave me a new
realization of the priceless rights
which we here enjoy.
No secret police can in the night
whiSk us away, never again to be
seen by those we love.
None of us can be deprived by any
party, state or tyrant of those pre-
cious civil liberties which our laws
and our courts guarantee.
None of us can be prosecuted for
practicing the faith which we found
at our mothers knee.
None of us can be prosecuted, tor
tured or killed because of the fact
that an accident of fate might have
made us of the same race as the
Nazarene.
No American can be placed by
any party or government in a regi-
mented wise which takes from him
or her either freedom of economic
opportunity or political religious lib
erty.
What would the millions of unfor-
tunate men, women and children in
Europe give to be able to live and
enjoy such way of life?
Well, in this war, those are the
things in our lives which are in
jeopardy. Our boys are dying to pre-
serve them for us.
Then we can do no less than to
SAY yes and fill those war stamp
albums. 1t is our duty and privilege
to help the secretary of the treasury.
Mr. Morgenthau, in his magnificent
effort to do the tremendous job Of
getting the money to keep our boys
supplied with the weapons with
!. which to 6ght cur fight.
