NEW CURE FOR CONSUMPTION
Clinic for Treatment to Be Opened in
New York City.
New York, Oct 25. A clinic for
the cure of tuberculosis by electric cur
rents of high potentiality and high
"frequency" is to be opened within a
few days at the Throat and Lung hos
pital in East Twenty-seventh street
It is the first clinic of the kind and ac
cording to Dr. Frederick de Kraft of
148 Seventieth street, who will be in'
charge of it may result in revolution
izing treatment for tuberculosis, if
not establish a positive cure for it
ft is largely to Dr. De Kraft's suc
cess in the treatment of consumption
with what is known as the Oudin elec
tric current that the establishment of
the clinic is due.
"I have not invented a cure for con
sumption," said Dr. De Kraft, "but I
have improved the methods of applica
tion of the electric currents of high po
tentiality and frequency and with oth
ers have established that consumptives,
even when in the advanced stages of
the disease, can be cured by electricity.
There are possibilities in the use of
the Oudin, D'Arsonval and Tesla cur
rents that may stir the w rld. 'Just
what these possibilities are, I do not
care to say at present"
MALARIA RAGES IN INDIA.
Death Rate Mounts High Conference
to Be Held in Simla.
Calcutta, Oct. 25. An important
official conference will assemble at
Simla this month, charged with the
duty of examining the whole question
of malaria and drawing up a plan of
campaign for the consideration of the
government of India and the local gov
ernments. This special inquiry has
been instituted by the governor general
in council as the reBUlt of a proposal
put forward by the sanitary commis
sioner that a permanent organization
should be formed to investigate syste
matically the problem connected with
me disease, i ne onicial communique
on tne subject points out that the num
ber of deaths ascribed to fever through
out India approximates 4,500,000, rep
resenting a mean death rate of nearly
20 per 1,000, and though this total is
greatly in excess of the actual figure,
owing to the general practice of ascrib
ing to "fever" deaths which are In re
ality due to other causes, yet it has been
estimated, from indications afforded by
certain special inquiries and by the dis
pensary returns, that the actual death
rate from malarial fever is about 5 per
l.UUU. This represents about 1,130,
uuu deaths, and as the mortality I
malarial fever is ordinarily low such
death rate indicates a terrible amount
of sickness, much of it preventable.
CONVICT CAMPS PROBED.
Some Good, Some Bad, Found by In
veatigating Committee.
Houston, Tex., Oct. 25. According
to the testimony of convicts before the
senatorial committee on investigation
at the penitentiary farms and camps in
Texas, deplorable conditions prevail in
several camps,' while in others the op
posite is true. In one of the farms,
according to the evidence of those Ques
tioned, not only is sanitation poor, but
those imprisoned are cruelly treated.
At the Lignite mine at Calvert, the
committee found moBt astounding con
ditions, it is stated. According to the
testimony conditions on the farms have
been found poor for the greater part,
with ill-kept bunkhouses and no segre
gation of those ill. Food has been
complained of. But many of the farms
have their redeeming features. Where
one poor condition obtains it is offset
by an improvement, so that in the
main, the week's investigation found
much to commend.

New York, Oct 25. A pronounced

MACHINES PICK BEEEIES.
Cranberry Culture Extensive Industry
on Coos Bay,
Marsh field During the season of bar
vesting cranberries on Coos bay, which
is now coming to a close, employment
is furnished to many persons. Indians
and halfbreeds are especially good at
the work, and some ire auite expert.
They gather at tho cranberry ranches
at picking time and come from all parts
ox me county.
On the William Frazier place,
ru miec, oig DunKnouses are pro
vided for the pickers, and they furnish
their own meals. They are paid 50
cents a box for picking, and some make
excellent wages. On some of the
places patent pickers are used. These
patent pickers consist of a box arrange
ment that opens and shuts with teeth
in front. The box is closed over
bunch of berries and by pulling the
device the berries are removed from
the vines and left inside the box. After
the picking the marsh is flooded and
the loose berries which may have fallen
on the ground float on the water and
are gathered up.
Mr. Frazier bought the ranch of the
late Mr. Mcl'arland, who was the pio
neer cranberry man of the Pacific
coast. This is his first season on the
place, but be understands the business
as he was formerly in the cranberry
