SCHOOL FLOGGING MARK
OF REAL ARISTOCRACY
LONDON, August 5. (By Asso
ciated Press.)—The old custom of
flogging students is still in vogue in
British colleges whose students are
as old as the average American col
lege man. The custom is most fol
lowed in the higher class institutions,
so that to have been flogged at school
or college is said to be the mark of
an aristocrat.
At Cheltenham college the sudents
hazed Barnwell, the former tender
of college baths, because he deserted
the baths for higher wages in an air
craft factory. They bombarded
Barnwell’s hous e with bricks. There
upon, Barnwell’s workmates win sev
eral hundred of the populace march
ed to th e college and told their story
to the principal, Archdeacon Water
field. It was agreed that the stud
ents' should pay damages and be
flogged by the Archdeacon. This w';S
satisfactory to all concerned, includ
ing the students.
Because of th e number to under
go castigation, lots were drawn so
that one out of ten of the student
body should get the whip. This also
was satisfactory to the students. But
this sporting spirit so impressed the
bathkeeper’s faction that they pro
posed that both sides shake hands
and call it off, which was done with
mutual regrets and compliments.

THE .VASSEHMAN TEST
FOR SYPHILIS
/
Syphilis has for a long time been
recognized as a contagious disease. It
is thought by Some that Moses in his
ordinances, promulgated concerning
the conservation of the public health,
gave unmistakable evidence of the
recognition of syphilis and its conta
gious character.
We know just how in that day they
made the diagnosis of this disease. In
olden days ridiculous methods were j
used to detect the presence of certain ;
diseases. But we can safely say that
the spell cast upon a patient by an ;
ointment madj from a frog’s leg, a
bat’s eye and lizard's tail in a caul-1
dron by the witches was in no way
indicative of the presence or absence ‘
of this disease, just as we can say j
that at a later day the trial by water !
where a peVson suspected of crime |
was thrown into the river, was guilty
if he ewam but innocent if he drown
ed, was not a reasonable way of de- j
termining one’s guilt or innocence.
The Wassermann test, like most !
others, takes its name from the phys
ician who after many years of contin
uous work on it, first gave it to medi- j
cal science. It is rather complicated, j
and its every step is based upon some 1
established fact of universally accept- j
ed theory. The principal reagents used J
are the sera from the blood of rabbits, ■
guinea pigs, and the patient, the red j
blood cells from the patient or a 5
sheep, an alcoholic extract from a
beef's heart, and a salt solution the !
strength of which is identical with
the amount found in the blood. These |
reagents are thoroughly tested to de- j
termine their strength, accurately j
measured, and carefully mixed and ,
incubated at body temperature for a
definite length of time, and the re
sults read after a period of 24 hours, j
This is a blood test based on the !
fact that when a person contracts
syphilis the blood creates substances
called antibodies whose function is to
combat the organisms causing the dis- I
ease. This is nature’s attempt to rid j
the body of these organisms. If this
test reveals the presence of these
antibodies, then there is every indi
cation of the presence of the organ
isms of syphilis or otherwise these
antibodies would not have been cre
ated by the blood.
The Wasserman test is quite an
aid to the in the diagnosis
of syphilis, oftentimes revealing the
presence of the disease when outward
appearances would not indicate syph
ilitic infection. Anyone having any
symptoms of the disease should im
mediately consult his physician who
will have a Wassermann test made
on his blood. These tests are now
r.'.adfc free of charge at the Wasser
mann Laboratory of the State Board
of Health. They advise three negative
tests taken at intervals of six months
before the disease can be safely pro
nounced cured.
Persons contemplating marriage,
who have exposed themselves in any
•way and are not absolutely doubly
sure that they are free from syphilit
ic infection, should have a Wasser
mann test made so as to help them
avoid the anxiety, horrors, sufferings,
ill health and untimely death of them
selves and progeny with which many
married lives are blighted because of
syphilitic infection of husband or wife
at the time of marriage. Remember
that syphilis respects no social posi
tion and recoils before no virtue; it
ramifies through every class and rank
of society. Like pallid death it ap
proaches with equal step the habita
tions of the poor and the palaces Os
the rich. It falls upon the just and the
unjust alike and shows no distinction
between the guilty and the innocent.

BUSTSOFKAISEK
AGAIN ORDERED
INTO OBLIVION
BERLIN, August 5. (By Asso
ciated Press.) —The question wheth
er photos, chromos or busts of the
dethroned German Emperor are to
be tolerated in official buildings and
public schools, has come up again
; for discussion before the Prussian
j Diet which was informed by Konrad
! Haenisch, the Minister of Education,
that, despite his efforts to leave the
delicate task to the tact and judg
ment of the respective officials, nu
merous instances have been reported
to his ministry to the effect that the
Hohenzolkrn emblems, once remov
ed, have been ostentatiously restored.
This prompted him to issue a new
edict which orders the definite re
moval of such pictures and other re
minders with the exception of art
products.
Haenisch was applauded by the
Left when he declared that the re
minders of “old Kaiser days,” could
b e no more tolerated than were the
Republican emblems under the old
Regime. &
He suggested that the iconoclastic
operations should proceed with as !
litt-e demonstration as possible and
recommended teachers to use their
summer vacation for the job of pack
ing up the painted, etched and mar
bled Hohenzollern.
HOME-MADE ROOT BEER
MAY HAVE “KICK,” TOO
PHILADELPHIA, August s.—(By
Assocated Press.) —Root beer made
at home may not always be as inno
cent as its name. Professor Charles
H. La Wall, dean of the Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy, cautions the
public to look out for the kick. The
home brew, he finds, has an alcoholic
content of 1.77 percent.
“It will tak e gallons to product
the familiar dizziness,” he said, “but
it may provide some exhiliaration.”
“I was surprised recently,” de
clared Professor La Wall, “to notice
a friend coughing a little after drink
ing several glasses of home-made
root beer. I became interested and
began an analysis of some of the bev
erage. The result was surprising. I
found that the alcoholic content was
much greater than I had supposed.
“I discovered that after standing
five days the beverage contained .53
percent of alcohol; after ten days
the percentage jumped to 1.36 and a
day or so later had climbed to 1.77.
The alcohol came from a natural fer

CANT DESCRIBE
HER SUFFERINGS
Had Almost Given Up Hope After
Eighteen Years of Trouble—
Gains Twenty-Two Pounds
Taking Tanlac
“I only weighed 90 pounds and
had suffered for eighteen years when
I began using Tanlac, and now I am
well again and weigh one hundred
I and twelve pounds,” said Mrs. J. W.
j Binkley, 5104 Illinois avenue, Nash
ville, Tenn.
“My sufferings were mote than 1
could possibly describe, and lasted
for eighteen Jong years. I lived on
the very lightest of foods and even
: milk would sour on my stomach and
form a gas that would keep me in
; misery for hours. I had no strength
j left hardly, and, although I tried
j the best treatments I could find, I
j kept going down hill and suffering
agonies until I was finally told that
i I would have to be operated on and
! that there wasn’t much hope.
“My husband got a bottle of Tanlac
I for me, and I started taking it and
I began immediately to improve. I
; have taken eight bottles and have
I gained twenty-two pounds and can
eat just anything that I want, coun
try ham, onions, just anything, and
am just feeling fine. I just want
everybody to know what Tanlac has
done for me.”
Tanlac is sold by the leading drug
gists everywhere.

The campaign will be the first or
ganized crusade in a large country to
improve all live stock simultaneously.
It will interfere in no way with any
werk in live stock improvement now
being conducted, but makes all the
work more definite and effective by
providing official recognition for pro-

To Keep Books Fresh.
To prevent mold on books, place a

balsam in a buck corner of each shelf.
This will not injure the bindings of
leather books as sulphur compounds
do, but helps to preserve the bindings.
