Scientist Finds Test Which Will
Warn Community.
DISCOVERY IS IMPORTANT.
Food Contaminated by Insect Can ;
Easily Be Distinguished From Pure
Food—Revelations of More Impor
portance Than Those Which Re
vealed Hookworm, Germ of Laziness.
Atlanta. Ga.—Discovery of a test
whereby it is possible to ascertain
whether or not a person has eaten
contaminated food was announced by
Dr. Charles W. Stiles of the United i
States public health service, in an ad- j
dress before the zoology section of the j
American Association For the Ad- |
vnncemcnt of Science.
Dr. Stiles said that be considered
this discovery of more importance than !
DR. CHARLES W. STILES.
that which revealed the hookworm as
“the germ of laziness.” lie said:
Thus far the direct agency of the fly In
the contamination of food can be clearly
demonstrated in any community. Any
where that the fly exists this test can be
applied to warn the people against the in
sect’s menace. While the test itself has
no medical value, it affords a simple but
convincing demonstration which cannot be
ignored.
Warning against “fake radium can
cer cures” was voiced by Dr. Curl I.,
Alsberg. chief chemist of the depart
ment of agriculture, in Ills address to
the chemistry section of the associa
tion. lie said that because of the
wonderful cures effected by applica
tion to cancer of radium rays there
had sprung up a host of impostors and
quacks who were foisting alleged
cures upon the public. He added:
Since there now are less than two grams
of radium in the United States and it is
valued at fl&.OOO a gram these claims
scarcely are plausible.
Wonders that actually have been ac
complished in curing cancer through
the use of radium were described to
the chemical section by Dr. Charles L.
Parsons, chief of the division of min
eralogy In the government bureau of
mines. He exhibited several photo
graphs showing the results of radium
treatment tor cancer.
Lack of co-operation between mine
^owners and miners and deficient state
and national regulations of the mining
Industry were blamed for the high
death rate among mine employees by
Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the
United States bureau of mines, in an
address before the mechanical science
and engineering section. Dr. Holmes
asserted: !
The death rate among miners is a na- :
tional disgrace. It is twice to three times j
that of European mining countries when
considered on the basis of the number of
men employed. . '
Applied science will overcome any
disadvantages which tariff redaction
or dissolution of great business con
cerns may bring, according to Dr. Rob
ert Kennedy, head of the Mellon In
stitute of Applied Science, Pittsburgh,
who declared:
With the high degree of utilization of
waste materials that can be obtained by
scientific methods American manufactur
ers need not fear foreign competition from
n reduced tariff.
The great loss of money through the
lack of business methods of great
combines, Dr. Kennedy continued, can
i readily be recuperated through the ap
plication of scientific methods In case
of dissolution by the government
