The Truth About Dr. Friedman.
Through a commission of three
eminent German scientists the
World is making inquiry of the
effects of the Friedmann treat
ment in Germany.
In no other country is an ade
quate and satisfactory investi
gation possible at this time. The
German investigators for the
World will have the benefit of
two years’ experience that some
of Dr. Friedmann’s patients
there have had with his “cure”
and they can study the prolong
ed effects of the treatment and
reach an accurate, scientific de
-torminotion of its value.
No other investigation of this
kind has ever been undertaken,
and within a month the World
hopes to present the report of
this commission to the American
people. That will probably de
termine definitely how much the
victims of tuberculosis have to
expect from the Friedmann se
rum. Facts will be substituted
for the theories of Dr. Fried
mann’s friends and opponents.
No fault can be found with the
action of the New York Board
of Health in forbidding the ad
ministration of living bacili with
out is written consent and in re
quiring that “cures” of this kinc
be submitted to the board for
examination. This may require
Dr. Friedmann to make his for
mula public, but it will not in
terfere with his proprietary
rights.
The Board’s action, however
if merely precautionary. It de
termines nothing as to the mer
its of the Friedmann treatment
and it can determine nothing
The final test will rest not upor
laboratory theories, but upor
the condition of the patients
who have submitted themselves
to the Friedmann method, anc
it is with the condition of sucl
patients that the World’s un
prejudiced commission of Ger
man scientists will deal.—New
York World.
Recreants.
It is rather discouraging to set
such radical progressives as
Senator LaFollette making com
mon cause with Republicar
standpatters and other reaction
aries in fighting the pending tar
iff bill. The Wisconsin senatoi
has announced that he will make
a few remarks, in which he ex
pects to consume at least six
days’ time. The distinguished
senator has already proven him
£;olf a marathon talker, and no
doubt he will make good his
promise.
President Wilson has taken the
country into his confidence, as he
should have done, and although
occupying the chief position in
this nation, he has declared,
what everybody knows to be
true, that the most powerful and
dangerous lobby ever assem
bled is at present in Washing
ton, that it is spending vast
sums of money to corrupt news
papers and scattering mislead
ing literature to befuddle the
public mind, and change public
opinion. It is not only unfortu
nate, but humiliating to see that
of the number a great many
are representing Southern inter
ests and industries, where it is
-
popularly believed that the Dem
ocratic faith is the accepted doc-;
trine, and that the democratic j
policy imbedded in the pending |
Underwood measure is r.ccepta-1
b’rt to the people. But selfish
ness and cupidity have no poli
tics, no geographical location or
local habitation. They may be
found everywhere, and it is up
to the people of this country who
have control of both branches of
the government, to put selfish
ness to flight, and bring relief
to the masses.—Memphis News

THINK TOO MUCH OF MOfJFY
Many Persona Lose Chance or Happ>
Marriage by Exaggerating the
Value of Wealth.
8core» of people lose their chance*
of being happily married through mak
ing an unnecessary obstacle of mon
ey. The importance of it is often ex
aggerated. Many a man hesitates to
propose to a girl because of his small
Income. Very often much misery, mis
understanding, and tangled lives result
from the silence More unfortunate
love affairs are the result of what bat
sot been said than of spoken words.
When a man has a small, sure in
come, and a prospect of increase,
there is no legitimate leason for his
, not speaking of his love; no reason
for that matter, to present marriage
People are so desperately afraid.
1 though, of beginning married HCe In a
i small way. They fear the sacrifice*
<rhtch they will be called upon to make
—o? the criticism to which they will
1 be subjected. Many yeara of bappf
1 ease ere lost In tfate way, It U such
a mistake for young people to wnnt to

Temperature* of Volcano*..
Scientists have recently secured an
accurate measurement of the temper
ature of boiling lava la a crater. The
experiment was n very dangerous on%
and it was considered a triumph of
precaution no lives were sacriHoed In
peaking the test.
The crater of KUlausa In Hawaii
was selected for examination. Tha
work progressed very slowly. For a
long time It was Impossible to obtain
results, but after several thermome
ters bad been destroyed a pyrometer
«ras substituted to advantage. The
temperature recorded wa# 1,010 dw
grees centigrade, which is the same
as 1.850 degrees FanrenhelL Iron la

Horne Influence on Writing.
Environment has been held respon
ilble for many human frailties, but It
is only lately that It has had to shoul
der the blame for poor handwriting.
"Even, more than temperament and
copy books environment Influences a
child’s handwriting," said a handwrit
ing expert. "If he sees a fashionable
vriting or a clear business hand on
.ables and desks at home he will Imi
tate that unconsciously. If only aa
■neducated scrawl meets him them
ie, too, will scrawl, let his Instruction
it school be ever eo thorough.”
