ical dot or, avers that medical science, however, has failed to
experiment, investigate, and put to a test the potentialities of
his treatment. Dr. Carver himself cannot conduct experiments
in the field nf medicine, but, according to the daily paper's

for a disease which medical science admits has it stumped.
All of which is well and good.
But we can'' help but wonder if none of our energetic,
(nullified, and equipped medical men has ever heard of, or
int"rested in, Dr. Carver's theory of the peanut oil in the
tment of infantile paralysis. We wonder why some of our
Ra medics have not investigated the possibilities of a
Intent made possible by a Negro scientist, which, if it does
effective, all the world will be benefited and give thanks.
A southern newspaper has found it pertinent to request a
southern governor to officially "encourage" experimentation
with a treatment originated and suggested by a black scientist.
A\ e wonder it' our own medics can't finish what our seiei
began?—At least disprove or prove the efficaciousr
proposed treatment by experim ntation.

Ml of a Sudden That Trap Jumped

i at Billy was going to do on that
hdj < t tho Laughing Brook wiiat he
a!m«el! had to do 011 his side.

ing in that fence made of sticks, and
itudied it cr.r'vai:;'. Billy had

as 1-e would, EobVy coaidn't see a

j lay in the L'ttle opening in the fence
! and nothing el;e was to be seen.
1 right of "Shir- B'Ky Mints h*d said tho trap was
dii'\ that 1. a;l-! ,m(-;r aiose leaves. Bobby won-
dered how Billy Mink knew. Billy
Aid told him that there was no dan-
ger except right in that little open-
ing.
Very cautiously Bobby pulled away
the daad leaves that covered the
ground on his side of the little fence
in front of the opening. He even dug
down into the sand r. little. Pres-
ently his fingers caught something
hard. He pulled them away as if
they had been burned. Nothing hap-
pened. Curiosity gavo Bobby new
courage. He dug away very care-
fully the leavevpnd rand at that
particular spot and presently he
uncovered something shiny. Any-
thing bright and shiny always inter-
ests Bobby Coon. Again ho touched
it and snatched away his paw. Noth-
ing happened. Then Bobby got hold
of that shiny tiling and pullci ever
so gently. Tlie leaves in the little
opening in tlie fence moved. Bobby
pulled again. Those leaves moved
some more. You sec, Bobby had
hold of the chain of that hidden trap.
Finding that U'.ere was nothing
dangerous about the cfialn,
continued to pull and presently there
was uie trap itself right in front of
him. He sat down and studied it.
He wondered how it worked. He
was afraid of it but he was very,
very curious. There it lay with its
jaws spread wide. Bobby remem-
bered that Billy Mink had said that
there would be no danger if he put
his paw under it. Very cautiously
he slipped a paw underneath. All
of a sudden that trap Jumped right
off the ground. There had I jen a
wickcd sounding snap and those two
jaws flew up and came together so
swifUy that Bobby didn't really see
what had happened. He had sprung
the trap.
Bobby didn't wait to see what had
happened or what was going to hap-
pen next. He almost turned a back
somersault in his hurry to getaway
from the strange thing. He scur-
ried along back up the Laughing
Brook as if he expected Uiat trap
would follow him.

For a long time, important facta
about syphilis and other venereal
diseases have been cloaked witb
seereoy, and the great mass of
young people who needed the in-
formation were either left clouded
in a veil of ignorance, or rudely
awakened to these painful facts
by their own costly and crippling
personal experiences with the dis-
ease. To coutinue such a condition
is more than mid-Victorian; it is
a throw luck to the dark ages
I when all knowledge was held by a
! select few, chiefly the gentlemen
1 of the clergy.
Thanks to Mrs. Sanger anil
othen*, the intimate facts of birth
control are being pubished at ev-
ery opportunity. And whereas to
mention it is not to approve of it,
we must say that the discussion
of birth control openly has made a
way for the open discussion of
venereal diseases.
In seme future articles we shall
discuss venereal diseases as such,
but we wish now to draw your

attention to the effects of syphilis y
how to prevent It. Sypbilltto heart
disease does uot, as a rule, make
itself manifest until ten to
twenty years after the disease first
enters the body. If one were
examined periodically, no such
disease could overtake him, but we
often fear to learn the truth about
ourselves until it's too late to do
much good: then we want to
know can the physician do some-
thing to help or save us.
In syphilitic heart disease- there
may be regurgitation, decompen-
sation, congestion, enlargement of
the heart, an 1 other conditions
that have been discussed iu pre-
vious articles. But one of the
characteristic changes due to this
disease is a weakening of the
wall of the aorta, the great blood
vessel that leads from the heart,
with resulting stretching, and oft-
en rupture, with a in as* i v.- intern-
al hemorrhage and sudden death.
These conditions can l>2 prevent-
ed by periodic examinations by
j ..our physician and proper treat-
on the blood vessels and the heart, mcut.
Syphilitic heart disease is a fre-j Although we have, by no means,
