Yet Java produces 99 per cent of the world's quinine, the best antidote known to man after the female anopheles mosquito has done her worst.

Orient he Spice Islands of the East Indies put their trust In the world's palate, but fashions in food changed. Today they stake their confidence that the world will get sick and they are winning back some of their lost prosperity. If some explorer were to happen onto the East Indies in the Twentieth century he might properly call them the Medicine Islands.

Rhnda, in its few square miles of dry land lifted above the Indian ocean, concentrates the past and present history of the East Indies.

Down, from the fields of Tuscany where lavender grows, Is a broad stretch of coastal plain which corresponds closely with the famous Pontine marshes. Repeatedly malaria has resisted man's efforts to recover this region called the Maremma. It contains, however, car- tain steaming springs, evidently allied to the volcanic nervousness of southern Italy. It was discovered that the waters of these springs contained boric acid. Engineers built retaining walla around nature's chemical fountains and drew the liquid Into basins where natural evaporation made the acid crystallize.

This product Is sent Into commenie as Jioxax-lor washing- powders and in the medicine cabinet a solution of it is a familiar eye wash and emergency agent for burns. The internationalism of medicine was borne out clearly during the war. German scientists, who had discovered illimitable magic In coal tar, developed certain Important medical compounds on which the world had come to depend. Particularly prominent were carbolic acid and aspirin. With the war and England's blockade, the supplies of these agents diminished the prices rose.

Aspirin bounded from 82 cents a pound to $1.25 a pound. Carbolic acid gyrated from 2u centa a pound to $2. Iodine is another common aid in the family medicine cabinet. Its antiseptic properties are well appreciated but its history Is little known. For a time the Sargasso sea, feared hy Oni- Co-ordination ROM fragments, isolated and small, science can reconstruct the great creations of nature.

Only as part of a co-ordinated mechanism has this littlest unit its full significance. The telephone needs of the nation require a service national in scope and operation. Men, materials and money on a vast scale are essential. Practical co-ordination of numberless human and mechanical agencies indispensable to the service is possible only through a nationwide organization. This the Bell System provides.

Then, in the course of engineers' investigation of nitrate production In the Chilean desert, it was discovered that Iodine could be produced as a by-product. The amount of iodine released by the nitrate companies of Chile now determines the market price of this chemical. Medicines From Mines. Stassfurt, Germany, another important source of minerals for medicine.

Near this little German town, twenty miles from Magdeburg, are the noted potash mines. Glycerin, an important ingredient of a familiar gargle, and of lotions for milady's nkin, is indirectly product of Stassfurt, since it Is made from spent lye used to produce soap. The lye, potassium carbonate, comes feom the potash minas. Magnesium sulphate, which is Epsom salts, Is also a product of Htauafurt mines. The salts take their name from a health spring at Epsom visited by Oharles II and other members of English royalty.

Htassfurt has no monopoly on this substance, however, since minerals from which it may be produced are mined in Euboea, an inland off the east 'coast of Greece, near Salem In Madras, India, Ivrea, Italy and In California. Much of the peppermint for toothpastes and for toothsome sweeta Is produced In Michigan and New York. It is extensively cultivated In Kiangsl province, China, and distilled 1n Canton. Sens, France, uiul Leipzig, fJernmuy, are other centers for the production of this pungent plant, which is not art particular about its habitat as many medicinal herbs. Lavender, though native to Italy, southern France and Spain, also accustoms itself to mnuy climates and soils.

Among Hie earth's romantic spots-, certain islands- off tho coast of southern France should receive special mention, for on them lavender is reputed to grow more thickly and with stronger perfume than anywhere else. Indeed, once they were called Ihe lav- endor Islands, the Sloechades, after the scientific name for the lavender plant. These Islands lying near the naval I'ortross Toulon, under their present nume llyeres, figure prominently lu Joseph Conrad's novel, "The I Y' 1 French Voile Dresses are among the recognized leaders for fashionable summer wear.
