Whooping Coagh Cared
by X'Ray Treatments
Will tha X-itay prove ilself the longlooked-for
remedy for whooping cough?
_ A new departure In the treatment of
this disease has been Inaugurated at
the Boston floating hospital, where for
the last year patients have been experimented
upon with great success,
says a Boston dispatch to the Kansas
City Star.
Dr. Henry L. Bowdltch, physician In
charge of the hospital, has renewed the
treatment of whooping cough with the
J^-Kay, which treatment was discovered
In 19H by a Russian physician,
and abandoned by him as Impractical.
Doctor Bowdltch Is the pioneer In
this method of treatment In the Mew
England states, and while cures In all
cases are not effected completely
through the agency of the X-Ray, great
things are expected of It In the near
future, the doctor said.
"Seventy-five per cent of the coses
respond to treatment," Doctor Bowdltch
said. "In a period of two months
last year we treated 888 cases with
gratifying results.
"This treatment -shortens the duration
of the disease, lessens the coups
and enables the patient to get much
needed sleep."
Farmers Using Geysers
Geysers are proving useful adjuncts
to farming In Iceland. A well-known
dye works In that country linked up
Its factory with water pipes direct
from the hot springs, and after using
the hot water In the color processes
and for heating the factory and the
s workmen's homes, conducted It through
Bk underground pipes laid In fields, which
W as a result yielded three tinges as
much produce as neighboring fields not
so equipped. Although from time Immemorial
the Icelanders have been
familiar with geysers, only recently
harp their Industrial uses horn seriously
considered, '""1 a project Is on
foot to supply Reykjavik with hot water
for heating, bathing and washing
parpos'e* from one of the neighboring
hot springs.

THE ROXBOHO COURIER
Relict Dag Up Prove
China Had a Stone Age
Discoveries made In China by J. <3;
Anderson, a'Swedish scientist, establish.
In his belief, that China had a
Stone eg?. At Fengtlen the expedition
leaded by Professor Anderson excavated
a cave about 6 by 18 feet. In It
were found bones from about 40 human
bodies and a large number of
objects, none of which was of metal.
The objects Included arrowheads,
stone axes, bone awls, curious stone
rings and a tiny piece of animal sculpture
made of -jinrhle, fragments of remarkable
vessels, some with pressed
geometrical patterns and others with
a polished red surface ornamented
boldly In black. Professor Anderson
dates the cave to., the transition between
the Stone age and the Bronzs
age. or about 2000-1500 B. C.
Large collections of remains also
were found at Tang Shao, Including,
specimens of red and black ceramic
objects similar to those found at Fengtlen.
Heretofore leading experts on
Chinese history have held that therewas
on evidence of a Stone age In
China.
uog a value in A.latha
Ih Alaska, where the trackless wilderness
and the gigantic snow fields
are the general order for the greater
part of the year, the principal means
of conveyance Is the snow sled which
Is drawn by the mnlemute, or the
husky, as the Alaskan dog is -commonly
called, says the Detroit News.
Strong and apparently oblivions to
the raging ofHhe elements, those brave
and hardy dogjsare the pride of the
Alaskans, who without-them would be
lh eveh worse straits than we would
?be without railroads or automobiles.
No matter how cold, these dogs are always
ready and willing to obey their
masters, and efcen after hundreds of
rmftes of snow-covered waste have
1 been traveled they are ever ready to
he up and going at the beck of their
two-legged companion, who is usually
their friend n$ well as master.

Concrete Floors Avert
? Dampness in Quarters
Many furiuerg who In former yearn
lost money in poultry raising are now
making It a success, all because they
! ure learning that clean, dry quarters
for poultry keep the flocks healthy
rand result In larger egg production
land better, birds for the market.
, A chicken coop with a tlodr that
Is likely to become muddy in wet
weather ?uid to become a source of
dust in dry weather is not conducive
to heaithy poultry.
Concrete floors are now being laid
In chicken coops In increasing numbers.
The fanner has found that
these floors save his flock in many
ways by prevention of mud and dust
und bV checking the rat menace. Concrete
floors prevent rats burrowing
under the coops if the floors are surrounded
by a low concrete wall about t
18 Inches high. And If rats do enter I
the coops through the, doors there Is ]
no chance for them to burrow Into <
the ground to bhild nests. Exclusion
of rats means a great saving of eggs !
and young chicks.
A goqd, practical hen house floor is
one two inches thick, made of a
*rich" concrete mixture. In which three
parts of sand are used to one part of Portland
cement. This floor should t>e 1
well smoothed over with a trowel. Before
laying a concrete floor a sat- J
Isfactory base shauld he made to glee ^
adet]iinte provision for drainage. An c
eight-Inch fill of coarse crashed rock i
or cinders makes a good base for a ,
concrete lien honse floor.
