"Can anything be mors vulgar than the practice of business men leaving their offices, in the daytime to dance the 'tango' or the 'turkey trot' with women of questionable reputation?" asked. "There is more immorality, unfortunately, among thos who should stand refinement and culture in a great city than there Is among those who are work-in hard all day and are living on small selaries."

PET CHICKEN PECKS HANDWOMAN DIES CARLISLE, May 10.

A pet chicken was directly responsible for the death Mrs. Ruth Goble, a 73-year-old widow -living here. Mrs. Goble, while visiting Mrs. Henry Robinson, her niece, Eberlys Mills, this county, several weeks ago, was pecked in the left hand a chicken that had always been re garded as a pet This wound was apparently trivial, though it completely penetrated th outer skin.

The modern ra tional tendency of treatment which prescribes air and sun baths, hydropathy diet -certainly seems a close approach recognition of the principle that the germ of tuberculosis is an effect and not cause. Perhaps the near future Is des tined to reveal the secret of the "natural Immune" In a world seething with germ bacteria. It takes ho profound In telligence to understand, from such prem ises, why Doctor Senn.

No aeubt the preponderance of medleal opinion this day Is on the side of the germ theory a to the origin of tuberculosis, holding that the aerm dvalon tha disease and that serums and antl-toxini kill' these gersas and bacteria because they ar protoplasmic poisons. They not only kill the protoplasm of the bacilli, but also that of the living cells of thevbody.

Let us see how the long-forgotten past bears out the foregoing statements: Professor James J. Walsh, dean of Fordham College. New Tork, told the members of the Chicago Medical Society a few days ago, that "modern surgery Is a thousand years old. He said, ao-cordlng to a press dispatch frpm Chi cago, that ideas in "medicine, Suppose to nave been originated in recent years. were the property of the ancients and had been forgotten In the march ot time.

He asserted that the outdoor cure- for tuberculosis was recommended by Galen, a Greek physician, over 1000 years ago. RESPECTFUL HEARING, From other than a head of the "rec ognised" school, such heretical utter ances, would probably have drawn upon the speaker the odium of "quack" and a stream of uncomplimentary criticism. but coming, as it does, from so eminent an authority, it Is given the most re-siectful and credulous hearing, In truth, nothing In modern medical science has a firmer foundation of fact than this assertion of Professor Walsh. Vaccination, for Instance, usually credited to Jenner by the modern school, was known and practiced In Constantinople in 1672, as the historian Duo chronicles, by an old Circassian woman, who startled th world with the announcement that the Virgin Mary had revealed to her an preventive against The specific with which she inoculated wad the genuine smallpox virus. But she was not the earliest predecessor of the English barber and chiropodist, Jennsr, for the law of lsopathy, or, curing disease by ttst'own disease products, was explicitly taught, a hundred years before, by th great mystic and alchemist, Paracelsus, ths genius of the Renaissance.

From the teachings of this genius, In modern times, sprang ths school of homeopathy, supposed to have been founded by Professor Hahnemann, with the basic principle of "slmllia sl-millbus curantur," substituting "like cures lUre" for "same cures same." This principle runs through most of the "modern" serum and anti-toxin treatments, until -we come to the most modern and experimental efforts of Doctor Frled-mann. who Is endeavoring to cure tuberculosis with the tuberculosis bacillt obtained from the turtle. Probably the main difference between the modern allopathic and th mora ancient homeopathic school is that allopathy applies Isopathy In large and poisonous- doses of virus, serums and anti-toxins, while homeopathy adheres more, to the practice of the ancient school of mysticism and applies its lsopathlc remedies in very highly diluted and triturated doses. Whether vaccination has really exterminated smallpox, as the disciples of Jenner claim, is a question that the future must decide. If the teachings of Paracelsus are correct, the principle of same cures same must go to earlier masters, for It is the teaching of ancient "magic" and dates back to the Druids and seers of ancient Britain and Ger many.

Pox inocculatron, as practiced by the Constantinople seeress, certainly did not prevent smallpox, but on the contrary frequently caused it, and the practice- fell into decay until revived by Jenner with a substitution of cowpox'for the smallpox virus. The Jenner inoculation had an excellent "tfyout" in Germany during the smallpox plague of 1170-71 when, according to the statistics, 120,000 people of whom 9 per cent had been vaccinated and 4 per cent not. OBJECTS TO VACCINATION. Dr. Llndlahx of Chicago, an eminent authority on scrofulous diseases, says in one of his able articles: "Not vaccination, but the more universal adoption of soap, bathtubs, sanitary measures, plumbing, drainage, ventilation and more hygienic modes of living have subdued smallpox and all other plagues.

The question is now In order of all the dreaded plagues of the past, why has smallpox alone survived to this day? The true answer is on account ot vaccination. If this scrofulous poison was not artificially kept alive in human blood by vaccination, smallpox would by this time be as rare as cholera and yellow fever. If vaccination protects at all, it does so by creating In the body the smallpox disease In the chronic By creating in tjie body chronic smallpox disease you favor the development of all kinds of chronic Undoubtedly this systematic and almost universal contamination and degeneration of vital, fluids and tissues accounts for the steady Increase of tuberculosis, cancer, etc." As to the manufacture of vaccine, the following method is pursued: A quantity of the poisonous mass exuding from a smallpox or vaccina sore Is taken from the human body and rubbed into Incisions in the loins of calves and cows. When the Infected animal is covered with vaccine eruptions, the poisonous discharge from these sores la scraped off and prepared as vaccine. This mass of miasm is then lnocculated into the individual who Is vacclnted.

FRIEtM ANN'S PROCESS. When Doctor Frledmann's process of serum manufacture Is given to the world it is very likely that It will be found to be based on a similar process; that Is, that the turtle Is infected by human to--berculosls bacllla and the poisoned blood of the reptile collected as serum. Th (Issue-dettroying character of the inoc-culatlon will, not be changed by this transmutation, and It will be sadly interesting to note what will be developed In the human system by reason of its activity upon the llye protoplasmic tissues. Galen, to whom Professor Walsh referred in his was a disciple of the Arabian school of medicine which substituted the symptomatic treatment of disease by mineral poisons for the old Hippocratlc school of healing by nature treatment. Despite the radical depart-' ure, however, he endorsed the Hippo-cratic outdoor treatment for tuberculosis, although that school reasoned that the tuberculosis germ was the product of not approach the British government on the matter as he "feared they would refuse to recognise the United States Embassy." The following day I called at the embassy with Mr.

Jay White of Washington. D. C. I took a document signed by 120 who had endorsed a statement to the effect that forcible feeding was ar. immediate danger to health and life.

The reply we received was to the effect that Miss Emerson had broken th English law (smashed eight cents worth of glass) and that she was being treated' a were the English women in prison. By a ruse we- finally Induced Mrs. Emerson to go to the home office with th result that ten days were 1 taken off Miss Emerson's sentence and she was released. The girl is now lying brokaa sad lUn nervous wreck, and probably no on will ever know th extent of ar Injun. of he he for at by the old and to a and Arrived THE CUBIST WALK.

With body gracefully angular yes, gracefully angular dainty hands and elbows akimbo, sjlm ankles parallel, and even a bewitching dimple squared. Miss Hazel Allen, one vof the most beautiful society girls of the city, created a ooraraotion at Venice by Introducing the Cubist Walk. In a gown of blue silk, cut a la-cubist, and a flowered bonnet' to match, so attractively, and fetchtngly did Miss Alien do the Cubist Walk that Venice and Los Angeles people who attended are all acublng.

"I rather do the Cubist Walk than eat," said Miss Allen. "Since the Cubist and Futurist fad arrived I have been longing for a new dance. After trying the Cubist Walk, I shall begin to think out a Cubist Dance, which I will dance at a festival to be given at Long Beach the latter part of this month. "The Cubist Walk is on the order of the Egyptian. It" is difficult, as every motion musbe angular.

Even the ex pression of the face carries out the fun and already I have been some of my girl friends the poses. "To do the Cub- 1st Walk, hold the body as stiffly as possible, -yet not awkwardly. Hold the elbows akimbo with the hands parallel to the ground. The feet are well, I can't explain it but they're also cubic." the only aid Americans in trouble in England may expect is from the United States direct. I sent a cable to Senator WlHiam Alden Smith of Michigan advising him of Miss Emerson's condition and treatment.

Trie morning after I had cabled Senator Smith, a woman called at my hotel and Informed me that she was Mrs. Mary Ford of New York. She Said Miss Emerson's mother had just arrived in England and that she was keeping- Mrs. Emerson away from the. American press representatives.

She said that she had heard that I was very active in trying to o.btaln Miss Emerson's release and she proceeded to throw ccld water on my efforts by telling me that Mrs. Emerson had been to the United States Embassy and had been informed by Mr. Laughlin, the charge d' af faires, that he could no nothing for Miss Emerson, and had "no intention of making an International affair of the matter." MEETS MRS. EMERSON. When I met Mrs.

Emerson I fully expected to find a woman In great grief. Not a bit of it. She met me with a radiant smile, and invited me to luncheon. Mrs. Emerson had seen her daughter late the preceding afternoon.

She said her daughter was very nervous and seemed years older. Every time she attempted to speak the girl would press her hand for silence. A wardess. or a doctor remained within three feet of the mother and daughter during th interview. The girl told her mother that she had been on a hunger strike fourteen days before the prison authorities had discovered it.

She said she had been fed by the nasal tube for nearly two weeks, until her nose wos so Injured they had to transfer the forcible feeding to her mouth. SITUATION SERIOUS. Dr. who is perhaps one of the most celebrated surgeons in England, tried to impress upon' Mrs. Emerson the gravity of the situation.

I ssw clearly that Mr. Laughlin. the United States charge d'affaires, had succeeded in convincing Mrs. Emerson nothing was to be expected from the American Embassy. I called on Mr.

Laughlin with Mrs. Rose French of San Francisco. He said he bad no advice to civ Mrs. Emerson, and oould Must Be Bonnie, Withal; Laird in Search of Wor. I Writer Declares Barbaric Cruelty-; Is Lot of.

"What is this," he called, "tell me In the name of the law." He was immediately surrounded by a mob which looked as though it meant business The cop reached for his gun, but before his fingers could close over the weapon his hand was seized and a chorus" of screams rent the air.

A large rubber tube is forced up the nostril, down the nasal aperture and into the stomach. The pain accompanying this process is maddening. "Wheii the tube is forced into the nasal cavity the pain is so excruciating that notwithstanding th fact that we are tied hand and foot and held down by at tendants, women unconsciously rise up tearing their bonds in their mad struggle for relief.

HORRORS OF THE TREATMENT. Women who bad been forcibly fed in Holloway Jail told me of the horrors of the cruel process. They told me of a man driven mad by the undefinable agony of the torture; they told me of a woman whose nose had been broken by prison attendants in trying to force-the rubber tube up her nostril, and the continued feeding of this woman through her broken noes for days, they told me of a cripple whose tooth had been deliberately broken to make an aperture into which they could insert the steel screw prlers; they told me of a woman who died from the effects of this medieval prison treatment.
