SAYS VIVISECTION NECESSARY EVIL DR. GEORGE E. EBRIGHT, PRESIDENT STATE BOARD OF HEALTH, OPPOSED TO ANTI VIVISECTION LAW HEAVY DECREASE IN MORTALITY IN CONTAGIOUS DECEASES DUE TO THE PRACTICE A vigorous argument against the proposed anti vivisection law, which proposes to let untrained men, officers of any humane society, enter any scientist's laboratory at any time and halt researches designed to discover ways to end disease, was presented by Dr. George E. Ebright, president of the California State Board of Health, at the hearing before the Governor May 25. Dr. Ebright is a teacher in the medical school at the University of California, is the physician in charge of the department of contagious diseases of the Children's hospital, and is also an attending physician at the San Francisco county hospital. He spoke against the bill as follows: "The recent expressions in the press upon the subject of vivisection in relation to the passage of this bill force one to the realization that those who favor the passage of this bill are allied with members of the various extremely well organized anti-vivisection societies throughout the country. Those who favor the progress of the branches of science which deal with the prevention of disease and the re-lift of belief that the great body of men and women belonging to the medical profession and having at heart such ideals for the amelioration of human suffering will practice cruelties on the lower animals? Vivisection is practiced only under certain very rigid regulations, for instance, the Johns Hopkins university, Harvard, Yale, the university of California, Stanford, and all the others worthy of consideration, do not allow operations to be performed upon animals except when those animals are under complete anesthesia. The animals are not allowed to come out of the anesthetic when the operations that have been performed are such as would prevent their recovery. No animals are allowed to come out of the anesthetic when more than one operation has been done upon them. It stands to reason that it is the duty of medical schools to educate surgeons. How remiss they would be in their obligations if they allowed their students to go out and operate for the first time on human beings if they had not during their course of instruction been taught all the details of operation upon living beings, and how much better that these living beings should be the lower animals, rather than human beings. The objection that it is not necessary to operate upon living structures and that the dead body will do as well is absurd, because there is all the difference in the world between the two conditions. "We stand today in an epoch where science has advanced to such a degree that the average portion of human life has been greatly prolonged, where many of the conditions which in past times decimated whole nations are not, in many instances, existing, or are reduced to a very low proportion, and these advances have been made very much against the opposition of that class of fanatical monomaniacs who are at the present time lined up in the ranks of viciousiphodes, endeavoring at every turn to balk the efforts of the believe that the great body of men and women belonging to the medical profession and having at heart such ideals for the amelioration of human suffering will practice cruelties on the lower animals?

The bulletin treats $30,000 deposited in a bank in Medbury's name as learned that Medbury posits in London. Mr. Shepardson hasings through the state recover the fortune for her children. "If Mr. Shepardson 000 it is a surprise to bury said when told discovery. Mrs. Medbury said Shepardson power of action in the investiture had no idea her husband large estate. She said she and he not been living together." THE FLOW OF WATER CHANGE Irrigation systems are the object in view of certain quantities of water.

Scobey, irrigationletin No. 194, of the U.S.Agriculture. This bulletin treats "The recent expressions in the press upon the subject of vivisection in relation to the passage of this bill force one to the realization that those who favor the passage of this bill are allied with members of the various extremely well organized anti-vivisection societies throughout the country. Those who favor the progress of the branches of science which deal with the prevention of disease and the relief of human suffering are led to review briefly for the purposes of the occasion the enormous benefits animal experimentation have won for the human race. "Before the discovery of the modern remedies, due entirely to research work upon animals, the mortality rate of diphtheria was about 85 per cent. By the employment of anti-diphtheritic serum, obtained from horses, the mortality rate has been reduced to about 10 per cent. Within the last two years Flexner, experimenting upon horses, has reduced the mortality rate for cerebro spinal meningitis from between 85 and 100 per cent to between 22 and 25 per cent. "The mortality of hydrophobia without treatment is 100 per cent. With the use of animal experimentation it has been reduced to less than 2 per cent. Lock jaw, which in past wars was the cause of so high a death rate among the wounded is at the present time in France reduced to practically zero, because every wounded soldier coming into the French hospitals is given at once an injection of a serum for use against lock jaw, obtained from horses. Only a few years ago surgical operations upon the appendix or the gall bladder and for other conditions which required operation upon the contents of the abdomen were attended with an extremely high mortality rate, because the surgeon did not know the value of asepsis. At the present time abdominal operations, as far as the operation itself is concerned, have a mortality rate of less than 1 in $30,000." "As is well known, in the last two years the treatment of tuberculosis has advanced with tremendous strides, owing practically entirely to the use of guinea pigs and other animals in experimentation. Through the efforts of scientific work along these lines the plagues of the tropics, such as yellow fever and malaria, have been successfully dealt with. It is unnecessary to call to mind the work of science has advanced to such a degree that the average portion of human life has been greatly prolonged, where many of the conditions which in past times decimated whole nations are not, in many instances, existing, or are reduced to a very low proportion, and these advances have been made very much against the opposition of that class of fanatical monomaniacs who are at the present time lined up in the ranks of viciousiphodes, endeavoring at every turn to balk the efforts of the great majority of the people who believe in and want progress in all things. I do not by any means desire to class with these fanatical hysterics all the people who are opposed to vivisection, but we do know that with lying misrepresentation, with exaggerated pictures of suffering, in the press of anti-vivisection, a great many people are misled, and enroll themselves under those who would take away from the thousands wounded in warfare and that great army of suffering consumptives their only chance for betterment, would rob the medical profession of the very tools with which they accomplish all that has been done. "Now as to this bill, the lines between its friends and foes is sharply drawn. Why should this be if the bill is as simple as it appears upon the surface? It provides apparently only for the inspection of biological laboratories by human officers. It does not give them the power of arrest. However, I would call your attention to the fact that they already are armed with the power of arrest and that the passage of this law would place in the hands of any fanatic the power, by repeated arrests, even without convictions, to persecute the men who have given both their lives and service to the interest of humanity. This bill provides for government recognition of anti-vivisection, with all of its attendant dangers. Not only that, it should be realized that practically all of the money which provides for experimental medicine comes from private donations. With such a law as upon the statutes and the encouragement which it gives to the anti-vivisectionist and the power it gives to the vivisectiphobe, what person would like to continue the donation of such large sums of money as have continually been given of late for the assistance of suffering humanity? It is not, therefore, clear why all deep-thinking people are opposed to the passage of this law?

Through the efforts of scientific work along these lines the plagues of the tropics, such as yellow fever and malaria, have been successfully dealt with. It is unnecessary to call to mind the work of Gorgas in eradicating yellow fever from the Panama canal zone. It is probably not generally known that in the department of animal industry in the university of California thousands upon thousands of dollars are saved to the farmers and cattlemen of the state and untold suffering prevented in the hordes of cattle, horses and hogs upon which so much depends, by the use of well directed laboratories. "I cannot by any means forget the suffering that we, as practicing physicians, see daily among crippled children in our hospitals and clinics and private practices where amelioration and cure depend, hundreds and hundreds of times, upon the use of remedies made possible of discovery and maintained only through the use of experimental animals. "I desire at this point to call attention to this very important fact: the medical profession exists for the prevention and cure of disease, and where it is not possible to cure, for the immediate amelioration of human suffering. It is not possible to forget in this connection those martyrs, headed by Reed in Havana, who voluntarily allowed themselves to be infected by the yellow fever mosquito in order to prove the correctness of their theories, and to cause by this, as they have done the cessation of the terrible death rate which their heroism and self-sacrifice brought about. Is it possible to SEARCH FOR FORTUNE Search for a fortune estimated to exceed $150,000, believed to have been accumulated by Morris Benjamin Medbury, a dealer in antique jewelry, who was lost with the steamship Lusitania, has been in progress in New York for several days. Milton Shepardson, a lawyer of Oakland, Cal., was making the inquiry in behalf of Mr. Medbury's widow and two children, who live in Alameda. Mr. Shepardson said that Mr. Medbury left his family in Alameda several years ago and that Mrs. Medbury had not heard from him for more than two years when she saw his name in the list of those who were lost on the Lusitania. The lawyer said that he had found data from private donations. With such a law as this upon the statutes and the encouragement which it gives to the anti vivisectionist and the power it gives to the vivisectiphobe, what person would like to continue the donation of such large sums of money as have continually been given of late for the assistance of suffering humanity? It is not, therefore, clear why all deep-thinking people are opposed to the passage of this law? We appeal in the names of those who are suffering, who have suffered. who will suffer from preventable diseases, in the names of those who from time to time will have need for surgical operations, in the names of those martyrs who have given their lives to proact us and our children from the things that we fear most, for assistance in defeating the ill advised efforts of those who weigh what little suffering may be necessary to animals against the value of human lives."

Mr. Shepardson has begun proceedings through the state department to recover the fortune for the widow and her children. "If Mr. Shepardson has found $30,-000 it is a surprise to me," Mrs. Medbury said when told of the lawyer's discovery. Mrs. Medbury said she had given Shepardson power of attorney to take action in the investigation, but she had no idea her husband had left any large estate. She said she and her husband had not been living together for 10 years. THE FLOW OF WATER IN IRRIGATION CHANNELS Irrigation systems are designed with the object in view of supplying certain quantities of water to the soil. These redetermined quantities of water must be carried in certain definite channels—of earth, wood, concrete, steel, or other material. Very often the same canal will include channels of all of the above materials. Obviously channels in the smoother materials will convey water with less retardation than those in rougher ones. In order to proportion correctly the size of the channel in any given material, the extent to which the flow of water will be retarded by the character of the channel and other conditions must be known. Since this knowledge can come only through actually measuring the flow in channels under known conditions, it follows that the greater number of tests there are available the more definite is the information at the service of the engineers designing canals, writes Fred C. Scobey, irrigation engineer, in Bulletin No. 194, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This bulletin treats of the subject of work of early exploring expeditions and the reports of prospectors and trailers. Information which is not very exact is indicated by broken lines.

Since this knowledge can come only through actually measuring the flow in channels under known conditions, it follows that the greater number of tests there are available the more definite is the information at the service of the engineers designing canals, writes Fred C. Scobey, irrigation engineer, in Bulletin No. 194, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This bulletin treats of the subject of flowing water in irrigation channels: It is based on field tests made for the purpose of determining the retardation factor in Kutter's formula under the various conditions found in practice. The data secured as intended to aid in the design and construction of irrigation and similar channels. This publication is offered for use of engineers designing and measuring irrigation, drainage and power channels, and for courts and attorneys at law interested in cases involving the carrying capacity of open channels. The professional paper says that tests were made on channels in Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, California, Arizona, Texas and Louisiana. These channels ranged in size from small ditches carrying less than 1 second foot up to canals carrying over 2,600 second feet. The containing materials of these channels comprise wood, concrete, earth, rubble masonry, cobblestones and a few special combinations. The velocities encountered extend up to about 10 feet per second. From other sources the writer has obtained the data for additional tests, where in his opinion there was not sufficient evidence in our own experiments from which to draw conclusions. This is particularly true of steel flumes, as none of these visited by members of this force was carrying water at the time. The data covering very high velocities, such as are found in chutes, also came from outside sources. In several cases it was possible to get data covering several tests on exactly the same reach of channel. In order to weight correctly any new data advanced which tend either to corroborate or to change existing elements in a standard formula it is necessary to know in detail the instruments employed and the methods of taking field measurements. Consequently, the equipment used and the steps pursued for irrigation canals for various conditions are discussed in some detail in the bulletin. work of early exploring expeditions and the reports of prospectors and trailers. Information which is not very exact is indicated by broken lines. The largest unsurveyed areas in Alaska lie in the drainage basins of the rivers flowing northward to the Arctic Ocean. This region is so inaccessible as to be of small commercial importance and is not known to contain mineral resources other than coal. There are also considerable areas in the Kuskokwim river basin that are still unsurveyed, and this is one of the fields to which the survey is sending a party this year. On the other hand, practically every mining camp has been surveyed and investigated by the survey. The high-grade coal fields of the Matanuska and Bering river and many of the more important gold and copper bearing districts have been surveyed in detail. The region traversed by the proposed government railroad from Seward to Fairbanks has also been surveyed and investigated by the survey. The results of all these topographic surveys are summarized in graphic form on the new wall map. This map can be purchased from the director of the survey for 80 cents a copy. STANDARD OIL'S NEW STEEL BARREL MAKES BID FOR POPULARITY "The world wide fame of the old Standard Oil 5-gallon kerosene can, which has long been a familiar sight in practically every section of the globe, seems in a fair way to be duplicated by a 15-gallon steel barrel which the Standard Oil company (California) recently adopted for the convenience of its Zerolene customers," said Col E. H. Merrill, manager lubricating oil department for the company the other day. "Salesmen's reports indicate that these barrels are going like the proverbial hot cakes. Of course they will not be put to the various uses that fall to the lot of the coal oil can, because this barrel is made to be refilled, but from present indications these barrels will soon have made their way to even the most remote points where Zerolene is used." The barrel in question is fitted with a patent faucet and mounted on a stand, it makes an excellent garage storage tank for motor oil. This fact, and because motorists are fast acquiring the habit of buying automobile supplies in quantity, account for the remarkable popularity of this new Zerolene container. WOMEN'S WOES Anaheim Women Are Finding Relief At Last It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must keep up, must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy speels, bearing down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney lills. Keeping the kidneys well has spared thousands of women much misery. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. John Broderick, R. F. D. No. 2, Anaheim, says: "I was bothered for years by kidney trouble. I had terrible pains in the small of my back, which often changed to a constant, dull ache through my kidneys. I became weak and run down and was unable to rest well. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me more relief than any other medicine I had ever taken. They went to the seat of the trouble and I now feel a great deal better." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Broderick had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N.Y.
