Premiuma for Babiet
As French babies become scarcer
and scarcer the governmental desire
to increase the population grows
stronger and stronger. A law has
just gone Into effect substantially in
creasing the awards portioned out to
the parents whose progeny are many.
Families with four children or
more under the age of thirteen are
allowed 800 francs annually for each
child after the third. Provision is
also made for widows and widowers.
A widow with five children would re
ceive under the new regulations 1,800
francs, or S3OO, according to pre-war
standards.

Acres of Wild Geese
l
The slight protection the laws have
given migratory wild geese are not
without result. Recently Capper's
Weekly told how thousands of these
birds on their northward flight had
stopped In Oregon's fields of new
wheat to browse on them. John Hlrus,
driving, a bus to a town in Manitoba,
was forced to stop his car for several
minutes a recent morning by a dense
flock of wild geese. Several birds
struck his windshield. Fifty acres of
wheat stubble that he passed was a
moving mass of geese which made no
effort to get out of the way as people
passed among them. As geese are the
original honkers, perhaps they should
be entitled to the right of way.

MALTA FEVER
LITTLE is known popularly about
Malta fever in this country. It In
only in recent years that any cases
have bspn reported here. It has been
known for centuries in southern Eu
rope, where it is variously known as
Mediterranean fever, Neypojltan fever,
rock fever, etc. It is found In the
whole Mediterranean region but prin
cipally on the Island Of Malta. As
the British have a garrison on this
island, it was the occurrence of a large
number of cases of Malta fever among
the officers and men in the garrison
that first attracted attention to it. It
is generally attributed by the natives
to the use of goat's which is
largely used by the Islanders.
Some years ago the sheep growers
in southern Texas, after suffering
great losses from various sheep dis
eases, imported a number of goats
from Malta. These goats were known
to be immune to the diseases which
were destroying the sheep. But as
often happens, in avoiding an old dis
ease, they imported a new ope. There
were a number of cases of Malta fever
in that part of Texas before it was
recognized.
The disease resembles a mild attack
of typhoid fever. About ten days after
infection, the patient has a headache,
sleeplessness, loss of appetite and
thirst. This stage may last three or
four weeks. Then the more severe
symptoms appear with fever, severe
chills, intense headache and diarrhea.
This may last five or six weeks and
gradually improve, only to be fol
lowed by a relapse. These successive
relapses and recoveries may follow
each other several times, atMntervals
of five or six weeks. In the meantime,
the Joints become Inflamed and ex
tremely palnfpl so that the patient
dreads the slightest movement.
The cause of this peculiar disease is
now known to be a germ known as the
micrococcus melltensls. Just how it
gets into the body is not yet definitely
known.
While rare in this country, occa
sional cases are reported, in a recent
issue of the Journal of the American
Medical 'Association, Doctor Acken of
Brooklyn reports a case of a patient
admitted to the hospital after having
two attacks, with an apparent com
plete recovery between each attack.
Diagnosis of Malta* fever was finally
made from finding the germ in the
blood. How the infection was con
tracted is not known.
Only a few cases have as yet been
seen In this country. Whether it will
ever become common here is not
known.
LIVING NINE YEARS ON
MEAT
FOR centuries man has been debat
ing the question of meat versus
vegetable diet. As far back as our
knowledge goes, man has been living
on a mixed diet. There have been
many races which have lived largely
on fruits and cereals. The Chinese
have lived for centuries chiefly on
rice. Many tropical races live largely
on fruits. Some of the reljglous sects
of the Orient live exclusively on a
vegetable diet, although their absti
nence from meat is not because they
believe that meat is harmful but be
cause their religious beliefs forbid
them to take the life of any animal
for food.
In all ages there have been sects
and cults that, for many reasons, re
stricted diet to vegetable food.
But most of the human race, When
they could get It, have preferred a
mixed diet, partly meat and partly
vegetable.
The vegetarian, whether from re
ligious prejudice or personal prefer
ence, has attributed all kinds of dis
eases and dangerous results to meat.
Many claims have been made that
meat eating was a cause of cancer.
This has never been proven. Halg
an English physician a generation ago,
attributed gout, rheumatism and many
other bodily tils to uric acid, which
he claimed was caused by meat or, at
least, by too much meat His views
had for many years much influence
with physicians but are not given as
much Importance now as formerly.
I have referred several times to
the remarkable experience if Vllhjal
mur Stefansson, the well-known
Arctic explorer. Practically alone
among Arctic travelers, Stefansson
early adopted the plan of living with
the Esquimaux and learning to live
the life of these people. The Esqui
maux are, by necessity, practically an
exclusively meat-eating race. Stef
ansson, like Sherman, early adapted
the policy of cutting loose from his
base and living on the country. He
has spent nearly twelve years In the
polar regions, nine of which was on
an exclusive meat diet
Recently Dr. Clarence Lleb of New
York made a careful physical exami
nation of Mr. Stefansson, which he re
ports in the Journal of the American
Medical Association. He finds him in
unusually good physical condition,
with no high blood pressure, harden
ing of the arteries, rheumatism or
any other defects that are supposed to
follow an exclusively meat diet Stef
ansson reports the Esquimaux who eat
nothing but meet are an unusually
healthy apd long-lived race.

Magnetism
Faraday demonstrated In 1845 that
all substances, even the gases, are
either attracted or repelled by a suf
ficiently powerful magnetic pole. Prac
tically, however, the metals responsive
to magnetism are the three which,
with their alloys, comprise the ferro
magnetic group. These are iron,
nickel and cobalt. Certain other com
binations of metals will respond to
the magnet. Thus there was discov
ered in 1902 an alloy—Heusler's al
loy—which is comprised of copper,
aluminum and manganese, and which
is said to be not greatly Inferior to
iron in its capacity for being mag
netized.

Cocaine Best of
Local Anesthetics
The discovery of local anesthetics
revolutionized surgery, says Dr. Emil
Mayer in the Hygela Magazine. In
1&84 Dr. Karl Koller of Vienna an
nounced that he had dropped a solution
of cocaine in a patient's eye, and then
operated on the eye without any pain
to the patient or loss of consciousness.
Cocaine has been found to be useful
for many sorts of operations, and par
ticularly valuable in the saving of
time in the hospital and in the ab
sence of unpleasant after-effects that
sometimes accompany general anes
thesia.
In 1880 there was perfected a
preparation from the dried extract of
certain glands that so contracts the
blood vessels as to render the parts
bloodless. Now an operation may be
both bloodless and painless and per
formed without loss of consciousness,
or any great amount of time.
