The truth is, we are really only at the beginning of our knowledge of the cause of disease. We must be able to measure exactly the Injury, the vitality and the degree of recovery of body cells to find the answer, writes Paul 11. De Krulf.ln the American ! , Mercury. man a named Osterhout, Recently obscure save among biologists, has made a step toward answering the question. Working ; with a common laminaria, he has begun to give exact meanings to the hitherto vague terms, vitality, Injury and re-covery. He has found that normal weeds possess a certain resistance to the passage of an electric current, that this resistance' may be accurately measured, and that It Is always of exactly the same order of magnitude for the cells of healthy laminaria. But take the cells out of their natural environment In sea water and put them In solutions of different content and density, and their resistance to the electric current fails at once. The greater the damage to the cells the greater the fall. , The coincidence of the fall in resistance with the degree of Injury has enabled Osterhout to construct equations which predict the exact amount of Injury that the cells of laminaria will suffer, ne can write down just how much and how long a cell can be exposed to damage and still recover completely. In brief, Osterhout measures injury, vitality and recovery. That Is (the beginning of science. That Is the real beginning of the answer to the question: "What is disease?

In which the latter has both credits and debits. Among the credits are bathtubs, saner living, shorter hours of work, serum safeguards against bacterial diseases, safe milk and water supplies, and more efficient surgery. the y debits are polished rice, the Among whitened flour, tinned beef, tinned vegetables and the unrealized poisons Incident to sewage dlsposaL Doctor Bruce, chairman of the governing board of the Lister Institute of Preventive X-ra- Medicine, declared: "The untutored savage living on the natural fruits of the earth and the chase knows no deficiency disease." Civilization, partly because of these debit items, has not been very successful In keeping down disease. According to Doctor Bruce, illness among Insured working people in Britain represents Idleness and economic loss equivalent to having 875,000 tollers out of work the year 'round. lie figures the money loss there as 8750,000,000 a year and the loss In the United States at $3,000,000,000 annually. Science Is discovering things all the time. We know something about the need of vltamines what used to be called a "balanced diet" was an unconscious acknowledgment of their existence. We know something and may soon know more about the part that thd land play 'tn human health afcd human growth. Most of us will agree Medi with Sir David's conclusion: cine in future must change its strategy. Instead of awaiting attack It must assume the offensive. It must no longer be said, "the man was so sick that he had to call a doctor." But the philosopher will note that In this attitude of the "offensive" modernity will only be going back to Confucian common sense. The Chinaman pays a physician to keep lilm well and stops paying him if sickness comes. Psychologically that is a tremendous advantage. Brooklyn Eagle. May Reproduce Old Mill So- The Philadelphia chapter of the ciety of Colonial Dames of America has submitted to many organizations In Pennsylvania a plan to erect on the original site a replica of "The Old Swedes Mill," the first mechanical enterprise to be set up In that highly Industrialized region, says the Interpreter. The original structure was built by direction of Governor Prints. In 1646, eight years after the first Swedish colonists arrived there. The stream on which the old mill stood, now known as Cobb's creek, flows through what Is now the southwestern outskirts of Philadelphia. Hie proposed reproduction will be made a gift to the municipality.

Discover Oil in France A sample from a boring near Sund-hause- n, 20 or 25 miles south of Stras- bourg, France, has been confirmed as petroliferous upon analysis by representatives of the University of Strasbourg and the ministry of public works. The well was drilled last February to provide water for farm use; the oily content appeared at the depth of five meters and persisted as the drilling was carried deeper.
