LOOKS FOB SPIRITUAL RENAISSANCE IN NEXT QUARTER OF CENTURY ' (By Associated Press) ALLIANCE, Ohio. June 21. The next 25 years will bring an intellectual and spiritual renaissance in western civilization, Glenn Frank, New York,

editor of the Century magazine, de-j clarod in an address today to graduates of Mt. Union college. "For more than the life time of most of us," he said, "the chill winds of materialism have been blowing across western civilization. Its spiritual fires have been banked, if not burred out. "The civilization that preceded and precipitated the great war, was at best a thinly veneered barbarism that slowly was consuming the life of the race. We all were guilty of the sin of surrender to pagan ideals." History's Verdict The verdict of history will be that Germany caused the war, but for a deeper reason than propagandists or politicians have yet guessed. As Charles A. Ellwood, in his book on

'The Reconstruction of Religion,' points out the pagan program of selfinterest, material satisfaction and brute force, was dominating all western civilization before the war. "The program simply came to a head in Germany first. Germany caused the war, not because she alone had sinned, but because fhe sinned more perfectly than the rest of us. The basic paganism of politics, of busine-ss, and of social life that the rest of the world denounced and prac

tised, Germany openly advocated as her creed and practised. Germany was the Samson that pulled down the pillars of the temple, but the temple was rotten. "Now, nothing can prevent western civilization from entering the long winter, except a vast spiritual renaish sance, a vast process of moral renewal sweeping through the world like another Reformation. Personally, I believe that we are in the morning hours of such a renaissance."

cept make the patients comfortable,; and let the disease run its course.

Devotion to science is marked at the Public Health Laboratory. During the war one scientist went about with a wrist watch like device on his arm, and under the glass a choice collection of cooties. While the blood thirsty captives fed on his arm, the doctor impersonally studied their habits. The laboratory is working with tuberculosis, dysentery, syphilis, smallpox and rabies, and many other diseases. It has spent some time experimenting with anthrax and also with botulinus poisoning, two diseases that

are not so troublesome now as they! were during the war. The frequent oc-i currence of both was traced to a relaxed vigilance due to the high pressure of war conditions. Infected bristles in shaving brushes gave men the cattle disease of anthrax. Insufficient heating left the dangerous botulinus germs active in bottled olives. Cases of botulism still occur, according to a laboratory bacteriologist who has conducted numerous experiments with this disease. They are warning

against carelessness, not only to packers but to the public as well. Several

cases have been attributed to canned spinach. In one, a large quantity of spinach was so hastily cooked that the heat did not kill the bacteria in the center of the pot. These bacteria could have been destroyed by heating of the can, and proper cooking before serving would have been a safeguard. There is now an antitoxin for botulism. The Hygienic Laboratory has established a standard of potency. It knows what strength of the toxin is sufficient to kill, and the strength or antitoxin that is necessary to neutralize that amount of taxin. Laboratories from different sections of the country-

send in samples of this and other anti

toxins for comparison with the government standards. All the biological products of the country are controlled by the Hygienic Laboratory. Diphtheria antitoxin, tetanus antitoxin, treatment for rabies, vaccines and serums are tested for sterility and potency at the laboratory. This iA one of the most important functions of this branch of the government. Many of the government's carefully

raised bacteria go into

Expect Randolph Wheat Cutting During Week WINCHESTER, Ind., June 21. It is expected that some wheat will be cut in this county before the end of the week. It is said that the grain will be of good quality and well filled. In the

vicinity of Winchester there has been but little rain for the last four weeks and corn and oats are badly in need of moisture. The raspberry crop will be short due to the lack of rain.

ROBBERS GET SMALL PAY FOR NIGHT JOBS

RUSHVILLE, Ind., June 21. The Falmouth bank and the elevator and the Bentonville P. C. C. and St. L. station were visited by robbers Monday night, only $8 or $10 dollars being secured from the railroad station and nothing from other places visited.

The yeggmen attempted to bore through walls of the vault at the Falmouth bank, instead of blowing the door, but became discouraged before they finished. A revolver and a flashlight were the only losses. In the elevator across the street, the outer door only of the safe was opened. At Bentonville, the money drawer of the station was robbed. It has been suggested that this is the same gang that robbed the Pershing bank, as they visited the Falmouth bank the same day, but were

WASHINGTON, D. C, June 21. There is probably no place where a germ can receive a more cordial welcome or live a more eventful life than at the Hygienic Laboratory of the Public Health Service. Germs of any distinction at all are treated with great consideration here. Special food is cooked in a shiny white

country. Some are taken from per-; sons who died of diseases that werenever diagnosed. Others are samples; of diseased tissues taken from living' persons in operations. They are sent, to the government for identification j of disease. i A piece of tissue about the size of; the end of a thumb is first frozen on;

Rapid Ripening of Wheat, Rust, Pushes Harvest NEWCASTLE, Ind.. June 21. Rapid ripening of wheat, and spreading rust combine to push the wheat harvest. A which is expected to be in general 13 progress all over Henry county by Thursday. The only hindrance to still earlier cutting is the hay harvest, which is just being finished. Although some wheat is light and chaffy, most of the county yield will be of a normal quality, it is thought. Straw is very long this year. Prices of about a dollar a bushel at threshing time are predicted.

kitchen for the enormous number of i a complicated little instrument. To do'

this caioon dioxide gas is put under high pressure in a tube and by turning the key the gas is expanded on to the specimen as it lies on the instrument plate. The gas takes the heat from the air and water and gradually ice forms around the bit of tissue. Then a knife device cuts off layers which will be mounted on glass slides for examination under a microscope. Paper is often used as a comparative term of thinness, but so thin are these slices of tissue that are cut off that it would take about 100 of them to build up the thickness of onion skin paper. Even in these fine layers of tissue the scientist may find thousands of disease germs when the microscope is turned on them. And those aie the

larger kinds of bacteria. Sometimes the Hygienic Laboratory works off and on for 10 or 15 years, using endless generations of a bacteria family, in an attempt to develop an antitoxin or merely in the hope of adding some bit of knowledge to treatment of a disease. Occasionally the disease is a rare one that the government has been asked to study. If research would be of benefit to the public the laboratory sometimes gives its time to such diseases even though they are not prevalent. If the government had experimented with Spanish influenza before it became epidemic a few years ago the results of the work might have been of great value. Tuleremia, a rather new malady, was recently called to the attention of the government because of its occurrence in Utah. The government scientists know that the disease is something like bubonic plague, that it attacks rodents and is carried by a certain kind of fly. A cure, however, is not yet found. Scientists Contract Diseases At one time six emploves working

in the laboratory caught this strange

a white, glass front cabinet you can I see rows of squat glass bottles containing various kinds of carefully prepared bouillon. About 30 Opounds of fine grade lean beef went into the bottles on these shelves, a laboratory pathologist explains. This is about a week's ration. The food must be prepared fresh every few days for the discriminating bacteria. Some of this soup on these shelves is put up with sugar to suit certain kinds of bacteria. Otheis prefer salt. A few demand a dash of alcohol and get it. The meals of the bacteria are,

strange to say, protected against germs, that is. against other germs.

government employed bacteria are introduced to it. These petted bacteria are not a parasitic, leisure class, however. They

their favorite food so that they may grow and multiply. Like human beings they can work best under favorable conditions, so they are kept at a congenial temperature.
