Horses \iiving Blood To Save
War Victims.
United Press Service.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 3.—Quar
tered on some of the finest pas
ture land in Michigan, at Roch
ester, near Detroit, and main
tained in a life of luxury and
ease, a drove of magnificent
horses are daily giving their
blood to save the lives of sol
diers fighting on the battlefields
of Europe. These animals have
no other purpose in life—they
merely give their blood that the
soldiers may live.
The horses are the property of
Parke, Davis and Company, of
Detroit, the largest drug manu
facturing concern in the world.

tesetanic serum, which is ad
ministered to prevent and cure
the dread disease tetanus. The
entire output of the anti-tese
lanic serum manufactured by
the Parke-Davis Company from
the blood of their horses, is now
shipped to Europe for injection
into the soldiers suffering 01
threatened with tetanus.
During the month of Octobei
the Parke-Davis Company ship
ped to the battlefields of Europe
more than ten times as much oi
the serum as is normally ex
ported.
The method of manufacturing
the serum is complicated and the
process takes more than nine
months from start to finish
Briefly the method is this:
Tetanus germs, which are
merely vegetable plants, are
propagated on a large scale ir
the Parke-Davis laboratories
These germs are then placed in i
large receptacle about 40 feel
square, which is filled with bee1
soup, e>r bouillon, manufacturee
from beef and glucose. This
mixture then is covered wit!
sterile oil to prevent air fron
getting at the germs, and per
mitted to stand for three weeks
during which period the tetanus
germs multiply into the millions
These germs excrete poison.
The next step in the process is
the filtration of the mixture
through aper and unglazed por
celain. This operation elirnin
;*tes the germs and leaves a poi
sonous soup.
This mixture of poisonous

soup is then injected into the
horses at Rochester. At the
same time, anti-toxin is injected
to neutralize the effects of the
poison. These double injections
are repeated at periods of about
one week, for three months,
when the horse is immunized.'
The bleeding process then be
gins. Each animal is bled from j
the jugular vein about once ev
ery month, an average of two
gallons of blood being taken each
time. About 25 per cent of this j
blood consists of a straw-colored j
fluid or serum, which is separa- j
ed from the rest and placed in
ice chests, where it must re
main for from six to eight
months. With the addition of
a preservative, and a second
filtration through unglazed por
celain. The process is complete,
and the output is called anti-te
setanic serum.
Whenever possible, this serum 1
is injected into each wounded sol
dier, to eliminate all possibility
of lockjaw. Any shortage of se
. rum in the medical department
of the European armies, medical
| authorities assert, would re
1 suit in a rapid increase in the
death rate and would increase
1 the suffering of the wounded sol
diers a hundred fold.
Neport 6; Batesville 7.
Friday Newport and Bates-,
1 port crossed legs on the Bates- 1
ville gridiron, resulting in New
port’s defeat by one score.
On the pitch-up Batesville
won and chose to receive. Bal
; lew kicked off and Garbacz re
turned the pigskin to Newport’s
40 yard line. Batesville lost on
downs. Newport also lost on
downs having attempted three
forward passes. All were of no
avail. Neither side scored dur
ing the first quarter. The ball
see-sawed along the 45 yard line
and when time was called Bates
ville had the ball within 20 yards
of Newport’s goal.
At the beginning of the 2nd
quarter Garbacz went over for a
touchdown for Batesville and
kicked goal.
Newport this time received
and Wise returned the ball to
the 30 yard line. With long end
runs and good interference New
port soon had the ball near
Batesville’s goal, but she was
held for downs. Time was call
ed with the ball near the center
of the field in Newport’s posses
sion.
In the second half Newport
came back strong and with
steady head-work on Umsted’s
part and hard playing with all
the line and back-field Newport
almost rushed Batesville off her
feet. At last it was the fourth
down and goal to make and the
invincible Wise was sent over
for the touchdown, but forfeit
ed goal on account of letting ball
touch ground after carrying out
for free kick. No doubt the
score would have been a tie had
it not been for this.
During the rest of the game
neither side gained much. In
the last quarter Bevans got a
clear field and ran 40 yards and
was tackled out-of-bounds. The
whistle blew too soon for New
port. Had our boys had 5 min
utes more the score would have
been in Newport’s favor.
1 The feature of the game was
the “line-bucks” made by New
port. Our line was invincible,
while our attacks were fierce.
(Every man, both line and back
field, were stars for Newport.
Garbacz and Monday were the
| stars for Batesville.

BASKET BALL.
The girls of the Newport High
School met the Batesville Bas
kateers last Friday afternoon on
the Batesville courts. It seemed
that Fate was against New
port as she lost both the Basket
Ball and the Foot Ball games by
narrow margins. It was in doubt
in the one as well as the other,
as to whom would be victorious.
No one knew until the referee’s
whistle was blown who was the
victor, but by fate, and not out
classed in playing, did Newport
lose by the score of 8 to 6.
Newport girls did better team
work than they have this season.
All worked not for the honors of
«
er once more and evidence by
our actions as well as in spirit,
that we are with them and wish
to do our part toward perpetu
ating their glorious history to
future generations
The work of raising funds for
this monument should have been
ours, but we were slothful and
the years were passing all too
rapidly, leaving each head a lit
tle grayer, each step a little
slower. The Veterans took up
the work themselves and are
giving to us this beautiful mar
ble shaft .that we and others
may not forget. They have ask
ed that the Daughters arrange
the programme for the unveil
ing ceremony and in order to do
this, we must meet again. Let
each member of our old Lucien
C. Cause Chapter come out and
as many others entitled to join
in with the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, as may earnest
ly and sincerely wish to do so.
Let us meet with renewed vig
or and determined to do the
work that is ours. A meeting is
called for Wednesday afternoon
at three o’clock, with Mrs. 0.
D. Watson.

Ur. Ragland Writes Interesting
Letter on This Subject.
Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Chas. A.
Ragland, of this place, writes: "I hare
been taking Thedford’s Black-Draughl
for Indigestion, and other stomach troub
les, also colds, and find it to be the very
best medicine I have ever used.
After taking Black-Draught for a few
days, I always feel like a new man.”
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
ness after eating, are sure symptoms ol
stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your
food and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent relief
from these ailments, you should take \
a medicine of known curative merit.
Us 75 years of splendid success, in the
treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford’s Black
Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action,
and without bad after-effects, it is sura
to benefit both young and old. For safe
everywhere. Price 25c. ^ n. c. izj
