Two great scientific of advances couse; quenees in the diagnosis' and treat: ment of tubercnlosis were disclosed in reports rendered to- the National Tuberculosis : association tin annual session hereL Tuberculin. the. sub stance, used in the test for detecting tuberculosis' In human' beings" as well as cattle, has been reduced to absolute purity, something heretofore sever achieved, so that it can besup-pllewholly free from other .substances which have affected the accuracy f these tests in the past' The details of this process were described by Dr. Esmond It Dong and Dr. Florence B. Seibert, of the University of second research The Chicago. achievement consists of the production ,ot a wholly- new mechanism for testing the Individual for the presence Of tuberculosis, which Is expected to render the detection of this disease possible'- within three or four days of infection Instead of an average; of two months afterward, as Is at present the case. This was disclosed in reports submitted by Drs. Florence R. Sabin, C. A. Doan and C. E. Forkner of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Both these scientific groups conducted wun the their studies in medical research committee of the National Tuberculosis association of which Dr. William Charles White of Washington, is chairman; Makes Diagnosis Exact. Dlfnosis of tuberculosis will become much more exact by reason of the perfection of tuberculin to crystalline purity, according to scientific authorities In attendance at the meeting.;, Particularly in the examination of children suspected of infection will , the new tuberculin be of great value, for heretofore it has not been certain, In the individual case, that b ppsitive reaction was not caused by one of the various impurities whlnb were known to exist in the tuberculin . used. The skin test has always probably been complicated by elements in the test fluid other than those which Indicate the disease. It will also affect directly the testing of catt'e, and reduce the number of animals which are slaughtered because they react positively to tuberculin and yet show no signs of tuberculosis. Research ; work is to be continued by "Doctors Long and . Seibert of the University of Chicago to discover to what extent the avian type of the disease in chickens and the bovine type In cattle may be the cause of the human disease. Authorities state that the work already done In eliminating foreign elements from tuberculin will affect the diagnosis ofoth, er .bacterial diseases In a similar manner, rendering methods much more accurate and dependable.' ; The new test devised for the earlier diagnosis of tuberculosis by members of the Rockefeller Institute utilizes a small quantity of the. blood of thq patient.

If the patient has tuberculosis, there will be a precipitate, but if the disease is not present, nothing at ail will occur. This new test will also be of use in distinguishing between cases of meningitis which are tuberculosis and those which are not, something which science has heretofore been unable to do early in the disease and accurately. Result of Long 8tudy. on In commenting these two achievements. Dr. Kendall Emerson, managing director of the National Tuberculosis association, stated that these definite, and significant results are the reward of seven years work by the scientists engaged in various related realms of research. This particular. branch of research has been directed under a system .of counsellors drawn from leading ' scientific men of the country. From time to time these men have held meetings, listened to reports of progress by different workers in allied fields, and as a Jury of scientific peers have assisted the plan of attack on problems, advising lines of effort to be pursued. The "chemical Jury? of the research committee which established the base Une for these studies includes: Dr. Paul A. Lewis, Rockefeller institute; Dr. Allen K. Krause, Johns Hopkins hospital; Dr. Esmond R. Long, University of Chicago; Drs. Eugene L. Opie, H. R. M. Landis and Charles J. Hatfield, Henry Phipps institute; Prof. Treat B.

COALVILLE Shipment of the Summit county farm bureau wool clip was completed this week, with total shipments amounting to 200,000 pounds. The, pool this year was sold for 34 cents a pound, the highest paid for any. wool in this locality. The clip was shipped to Boston. Marked improvement in UTAH Utah range conditions occurred in May, the monthly range and livestock report issued recently by Frank Andrews, federal agricultural statistician declares. Lamb crop and wool clips are .both short and heavy losses are noticeable among sheep and lambs, the report' says. Normal morality prevails among cattle while calf crop . prospects are good.

The average butterfat production per cow was 33.6 pounds as compared with 30.97 pounds for the previous month. One hundred and twenty-twanimals produced 40 pounds of butterfat or more. PROVO- - With the volume of production greatly increasing, the shipments from the local poultry plant are greater than the average for this time of the year, according to local poultry plant officers. During the last three weeks an average of 25,000 sacks of feed and 1100 cases of eggs have been shipped each week, while two carloads of cockerels also have been shipped in this period. Three more carloads of cockrels will be shipped the coming week. ion work has started on the site for the tipple of the new Peerless mine, mile above Rolapp. Work on the rock tunnel for the mine has been progressing steadily and the water liners are within two hundred feet of the coal vein.

When Arab meets Arab amidst the picturesque houses of Tunisia, the pair may talk about everything under the eternally blazing sun except their wives. It is against etiquette, for, socially, Arabian women do not exist Hows your father? the Arab may say, but never Hows your wife? Feminine emancipation has made no advance here In Tunisia, where the women folk rank as vassals or domestics. They look with veiled Lut envious eyes toward their sisters of Islam under the modern rule of Kemal Pasha In Turkey, whose order that all women go unveiled Is regarded as profane by the older generations here. There have been many attempts in recent years to bring Tunisian women Into line with their more' modern neighbors, but always the ingrained religious conservatives of the country Resisted the suggestion. white-washe- d Smith-Hughe- London.
