Nasty little devils! Since I'm supposed to be following in the footsteps of the inimitable Times Tomato Editor, and being a sort of sentimental gal, anyway, I meandered up to the public library yesterday afternoon to look over the fevered spot where Fremont toiled and. sweat over his single tomato plant last season.

Lon Laughlin, the library’s head ‘custodian and eye-witness to the experiment, conducted me to the spot in the front lawh Where Fremont sink his corn ¢obs about two feet below ground and theén planted ah iron pipe downi which he poured the water for the plant. It was something new to tomato growers— to Fremont, too. He fed his pride, and joy with vitamins, eovered the’ ground with fertilizer ahd sprayed the insects. Finally tomatoes appeared, the best and tastiest ever —just ask Fremont. His experiment attracted many spéctators—some were curious, some thought they might try. it, and others decided, “the man’s just plain érazy.” Now grass covers the spot where the city’s most-talked-of tomato plant flourished. ® This year were ready to talk about everybody's. prize tomato

‘Army Use of Sulfa Drugs

meningococcal meningitis killed 35 to 40 of every 100 American sol-

E | diers ‘stricken’ with the disease, an

inflammation of the meninges of the brain and spinal cords Furthermore; those - survived often experienced serious “aftereffects such as permanent damage to the brain itself, nervous system impairment and, frequently,

: | deafness.

From the office of the - surgeon general of the army today comes word of a mighty victory over this mankiller. . 2 New techniques in diagnosis, treatment and preventive measures have cut the meningitis mortality rate among U. S. soldiers to approxi mately 3:5 per cent of those afflicted. This means the soldier stricken with meningitis today has a 10time greater chance of survival than the soldier who contracted the disease 25 years ago. In addition the new therapy lessens the likelihood of severe secondary effects. But today’s soldier is less likely to develop the disease because of the ‘tremendous strides “made in meningitis control.

Sulfanilamide Treatment

The sulfanilamide drugs are the answer to both the treatment and control. As early as 1936 “medical ‘men looked: to sulfa therapy for the key to meningitis recovery, but not until recently did they discover the threefold {function of sulfadiazine and othér sulfa drugs in conquering the disease. ‘Working with the’ war “department's civilian commission on meningococcal meningitis, army preventive. medicine specialists found the carriers . of meningococci could be eliminated by sulfa treatment. . A carrier can carry the meningococei without showing symptoms of the disease. By treating carriers with sulfadiagine negative tests were ‘usually ‘achieved in two or three days. Then they set ‘about preventive control. Personnel of entire camps where meningitis was reported were
