SPILE AILMENTS TREATEDJY KNIFE (Tuberculosis Treatment by Grafting Is Found to Be Successful.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5. The success f ft new operation for spinal tuberculosis a disease that often attacks city children reoently demonstrated by Dr. Fred H. Albee in the PostOraduate and Sea Breeze hospitals was assured yesterday in a report issued by the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, under whose auspices the latter institution Is conducted. Medical men of prominence expressed themselves as confident the process (Uncovered by Dr. Albee, who found that the tuberculosis germs caould be destroyed by transplanting part of the shinbone of the sufferer in the spine, would revolutionize methods of remedying spinal troubles, and would straighten permanently the bent bodies of thousands of little hunchbacks throughout the metropolis. Until now the treating of sufferers from tuberculosis of the spine both Infants and adults has been a difficult tusk, often attended with fatal results. It involved strapping the patient to an apparatus known as the Bradford frame for as long a period as was necessary to force the curved spine into a less abnormal position. Hundreds of youngsters, among "them the famous Smiling Joe Marion have been partly relieved of their deformities through the Bradford frame process. But they seldom have arisen from their long imprisonment on the appartus with their backs entirely straight, even after treatment covering as much as four years. Dr. Albce's system, including the time of convalescence, allows for a period of from a few months to not more than ft! year, as the nature of the case requires. 'Before starting the operation itself, toe report of the association remarks, it is needful to subject the tubercular sufferer to the molding process of the Bradford frame for a few weeks, until the curvature of the spine is corrected sufficiently to permit the' surgeon's scalpel to be used. Once the "correction" of the disease is obtained the operation makes it a relatively simple question to make it permanent. By the old method the physicians ought to insure permanency of the straightened spine by strapping it in one position on the Bradford fram for years at a time. jjn crossing ..the shinbone - as the best one from which to obtain the necessary section of bone Dr. Albee thought that from two to six inches might be taken from that vertebra without permanently weakening it. Having removed the required piece of the shinbone, the next step is to cut the bone projections at the base of the spine, known as the sinous processes, so that the shinbone section may be grafted firmly to them. That is done by splitting each of them down the middle as one might spilt foud fingers held straight and rigidly the spinous processes stand out in such a way they resemble the fingers of a human hand. After that Is done, is is not difficult to insert the transplanted bone between the split part so tightly they will be bound fast together. By this process the entire spin Ja held immovable in Its normal position, and the bacilli of tuberculosis gradually die. Dr. Albee has found that, tubercular germs cannot live in the spinal vertebra without' the movement given to them by the patient's breathing and he says that movement ceases with the strengthening of the spine by the bone transplanting.

Health and Beauty Advice By Mrs.Mae Martyn

L. T.: From what you say, I Judge your trouble is not eczema, but a rash caused by the too profuse use of face powder, and the only remedy is to employ a good massage cream to thoroughly cleanse the skin of local impurities. A greaseless cream-jelly of exceptional value can be made at little cost by stirring two teaspoonfuls glycerine in a half-pint cold water, and adding one ounce almozoin. Let stand over night, then apply to face, neck and arms and massage in, thoroughly. v A few such treatments rid the skin of roughness, eradicate pimples and blackheads and dispel sallowness, while the complexion will take on a youthful tint and freshness. Mrs. L. B.: I know It is discouraging to be over-fat. but this can be quickly remedied if you buy four ounces parnotis from your drugist and dissolve it in one pint-and-a-half hot water. When it cools take a tablespoonful before meals. Keep up treatment regularly until desired weight Is reached. You will find this method will not Injure or inconvenience you In any way, and it will not leave the skin flabby or wrinkled. Q. T.: You can restore the original color, to the hair and correct those scalp troubles by using this inexpensive hair-tonic: Mix together one-half pint each alcohol and water and in this put: one ounce quinzoin. Massaging the scalp well with this will gradually restore the natural tint and glossiness to the hair and put the scalp In a healthy condition. If you use the quinzoin hair-tonic regularly, it will .stake the hair come in thick and beautiful. Worrfbd: That ugly growth of fuzx can be permanently removed from your chin, by the appliaction of a paste made with powdered delatone and water. After this has been on two or three minutes rub off and wash the skin and the hairs will have vanished. Druggists charge a dollar for an ounce package of delatone, but this cost Is trifling;. 3 7L..Z "cX - Hath M.: 7n msomnia' and loss of appetlu of wMoa yon speak are cansad fcr am impoverished condition of

AT THE GENNETT "There is no doubt," said Dr. Brannan, after he had paid the tribute to Dr. Albee's discovery, "but what the value of the new method in remedying defects of the spine is exceptionally great. I do not know whether the discovery rests with Dr. Albee alone, but I do know he is the only surgeon in the city practicing the bone transplanting operation today. I myself have attended one such operation and found it most interesting and entirely new to me. The process brings out deformi with greater rapidity than the old methods, and it doubtless will save the lives of many children, besides straightening and strengthening their twisted spines. Dr. Albee recently has been appointed to the consulting staff of Bellevue in the newly established orthopedic branch." Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR. At the Gennett. Dec. 7. "The Girl of My Dreams."

Some of these plays have proven big winners while many have fallen by the "wayside. One of the most pronounced of the blood. What you require is a blood-cleanser and tonic. For a small sum you can make your own, by getting an ounce of kardene and a halfpint alcohol. Dissolve one-half cupful BUgar in the alcohol, then add the kardene, and hot water to make a full quart. Take a tablespoonful three times each day and your natural health and strength will soon return. The kardene is gentle in action and quickly rebuilds worn or waste tissues. Edna: A dry, itchy scalp usually follows the use of an alkali shampoo mixture. This robs the glands of their necessary oils and causes the tissues to die. The only way to restore vitality and banish the dandruff is to shampoo occasionally with plain canthrox, a teaspoonful of which dissolved In hot water is enough for a thorough cleansing. You can obtain an original package of canthrox at any drug store, and you will find that aside from keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition, it will induce an abundant growth of fluffy, brilliant hair. A. D. L.: The shiny, oily condition of your skin is due to excessive use of powder, which clogs pores and frequently causes pimples, blackheads and other complexion upsets. I would advise discarding powder and employing a plain spurmax lotion. This is prepared by adding two teaspoonfuls glycerine to a half-pint hot water, then stirring in four ounces spurmax. Apply sparingly to the skin and rub lightly until it dries. You will find this nicer than powder as it is invisible when it is on, does not rub off, and gives to the complexion a charm and richness impossible .any other way. XX.: Nothing so detracts from beauty like weak, watery eyes, and to overcome this trouble, I would suggest using a plain crystos eye-tonic. You can easily prepare this at home by dissolving one ounce crystos In a pint of cold water. Putting two, .or three drops In each eye dairy quickly relieves the . smart or ache," soothes the tired muscles and gives to the eyes a delightful sparkle and brilliancy.

THURSDAY NIGHT. the successes and one that compares most favorably with "The Great Divide," "Arizona," and "The Round Up" is J. Wendal Davis great play of romance and adventure, "The Cowboy and the Thief" which comes to the Gennett theater next Saturday matinee and night with a specially selected cast and complete scenic equipment. The play has the best reports all along the line. "The Girl of My Dreams." "The Girl of My Dreams" which will be seen at the Gennett theater Thursday night, December the 7th, is said to bear the ear-marks of a Jos. M. Gaites production, that it has all the daintiness, chicness, good taste, amusing situations, laughs, that under the deft handling are lifted to the dignity of a charming naturalness, that, the costuming and scenic color schems are superb and in harmony and richness and they are lavished upon a cast, not only of rarely artistic principals but a capable chorus rich in beauty. A preponderance of attention has been given by the book authors, Messrs. Nesbit and Hauerbach to the comedy of the story which however, has a delightful central lovo story a bachelor city "bad boy" organizer of a Bachelor club whose mem bers, led by him, have each sworn never to marry. He has fallen in love with a dainty little country Puritan girl just Puritan enough to lend special worth to her kisses but not too Puritan to have her whole share of that internally interesting quality in woman jealousy. The renegade founder of the Bachelor's club arrives under its roof just after an automobile accident, wherein a woman's hat in the other automobile has been chewed up by his automobile an accident which, as invariably the case with woman's hate, leads to all the complications and subsequent troubles. CRAWFORD IN KILTS. The Novelist's Remark When He 8aw Himself as a Child. One of the best known guides in the capitol at Washington used to be tlonel Jasper E. Snow, formerly a Kansas City lawyer, who always sat j in Republican conventions and voted for Blaine as long as there was a Blaine to vote for. Colonel Snow used to tell this little story of the late Marion Crawford. He had met Mr. Crawford in Florence. Italy, and when the novelist came to Washington Colonel Snow was the first person who showed him the doors made by the novelist's father. Thomas Crawford. These are the senate bronze doors on the eastern portico. They represent scenes connected with the Revolution and the founding of the government.

Red Cross Christmas Campaign Opens Here

The Red Cross Christmas Seals campaign is now on in full blast in Indiana. And until Jan. 1 there will be no let-up among the hundreds of workers who are urging the people of Indiana to support the anti-tubercu-losis movement by purchasing these j little holiday stickers. The seals arc ' on sale in nearly every store in this city. In approximately 250 Indiana cities and towns there is now an active and ! energetic organization pushing the sales of Red Cross Christmas seals and within another week agencies will be established in at least 500 other communities. According to an estimate by the managers of the Indiana campaign at Indianapolis, nearly 2,000,000 Red Cross Christmas seals are now in the hands of their assistants throughout the state. Great packages of seals and advertising supplies have been sent from Indianapolis headquarters in every di rection, and practically every town of You're

any size already has received its supplies. A strong effort is being made to sell 2,000,000 seals in Indiana this year. Last year one city alone, Cleveland, O., sold nearly 1,500,000. The Indiana workers are determined that Indiana shall this year '"come into its own." They are sure the state will purchase seals more liberally than ever before, and the sales to date indicate that their belief is well founded. Probably the most active organization in the state at the present time is at Terre Haute. Everything possible is being done there to bring about a record-breaking sale. Already the Terre Haute organization has ordered 200,000 seals and may need more. The sale will be pushed vigorously in this city and the friends of the movement can help most by making their purchases early. The seals sell at one cent each and are to be used on the backs of letters and packages. The money raised through the sale of seals will be used in Indiana in
