At the commencement of the Trench

waa called to its enormity. In July,

However, th Bsatl had been long

The Conquest of Meningitis.
From Harper's Weekly.
.Vow that th pitiful story of menin
gitis is ended for th curative effi
ciency of the Flexner serum Is scien
tifically established, and It has taken
its pise alongside vaccine and diph
theria anti-toxin It is pleasant to re
call that th scourge barely outlived a
century. The first epidemic that w
know of broke out in Switzerland in
1805. and exactly 100 years later tr.
Simon Flexner was ' officially Investi
gating an epidemic In New Tork city,
and laying out a campaign for the me
thodical and scientific eonquest ef
"spotted fever."
There are no disheartening pages In
the closing chaper of the story of
meningitis. In September, 1908. Dr.
Flexner was ableto announce that 486
cases of meningitis had been treated
with the serum in various parts of th
world. Of this number 48 cases were
properly eliminated from analysis, for
on reason or another. Of the remain
ing 893 case. (In all of which bac
terlological examination of fluid drawn
from the spinal canal had demonstrated
th presence of the dlplococcus) 296
had recovered, and 88 Had died. The
percentage of recoveries was, therefore,
75 and the mortality was 25 per eent.
Perhaps the mosp striking result was
shown in the case of babies. Epidemic
meningitis has been uniformly fatal to
infants under the age of one year. The
author of a famous text-book on the
diseases of children, (Dr. Hplt) reports
that, of the 20 cases under one year
treated In his . hospital wards, not one
recovered. But In the series of 898
cases treated with th Flexner serum,
22 were infants under one fear of age,
and half of them recovered. ;
The Investigations cost a very large
amount of money, and the loss of some
animal life about 25 monkeys and 100
guinea pigs. The eventual saving of
human life Is incalculable. Incidental
ly, , the outcome will probably act as a
check upon- mischievous 'legislation
growing out of th unintelligent senti
mentalities of those who would prevent
animal experimentation of all kinds.
There are still legislators who see the
wisdom of preliminary experiments be
ing msde upon guinea pigs and monkeys
Instead of on human beings. i
Fire Waste and Its Remedy.
From th Omaha Bee.
This country must do something more
than it ha don to prevent unneces
sary waste and loss In fires. Th nation
has th problem of the forest fires on
Its hands and th ottle have the less
difficult task of diminishing the loss
from building flrs. Neglsot and in
adequate provision out a big flgur In
both cases, but in th eaa of th olty
neglect is probably the vital element.
An Immense amount of waste and loss
through fires In cities Is due dlroUy t
th Inflammabl characUr of structure
reotad. This thi" city could prevent by
enaotlng laws or ordinances calling for
fireproof material in every struoror
Arartt an within the business districts and rt
enforcing the laws. And not until thy
do this ar they going to solv this 4Ua-
tresslng problem.
Of course, that alon win not am
ple t el y do away with fires. If eo
suppose that It will, hut It wfll be a
long step In that direction, and make
tho others easier to take. For cfttes to
permit ftretrap buildings to go up In
congested centers of business Is little
less than criminal In Itself.
