It Is^Doctor Krueger’s conclusion that the consistent failure of many of these preparations Is due to alterations in the protein of the bacteria induced by the heat or chemicals used to kill hem. To eliminate this undesirable reaction he has perfected a mill, consisting of a cylinder containing several thousand stainless-steel ball bearings which kills bacteria without denaturatlon of the protein within them. The effectiveness of this method of preparing vaccines has been clearly demonstrated In the treatment of whooping cough and of sinus Infections. During a recent epidemic of whooping cough 232 children were treated with the Krueger \acclne and 165 with another typeiof vaccine. Only 47 per cent of the children receiving the old type of vaccine showed fair or good results, while the Krueger pertussis antigen, as it Is called, brought about good or fair results In IX) per cent of the cases. Tests of the similarly prepared antigen for sinus infections have brought about cures or satisfactory Improvement In 90 per cent or more of three series of 45, G2 and 50 cases. Next Doctor Krueger will test the new type antigen on common colds. BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON W. BURGESS DANNY MEADOW MOUSE IS IN A TIGHT PLACE D anny meadow mouse was having a good time on the hank of the Smiling Pool. He laughed at Grandfather Frog's fear that he was taking a foolish risk. It was true that he was a long way from home with Its many secret hiding places which made It comparatively safe In times of danger. But Danny wasn’t worrying. As he had told Grandfather Frog, he doesn’t believe In worrying until there Is something to worry about. Sc, this being the first time he had visited the Smiling Pool for a long cousin, Jerry Muskrat, was getting on; what Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter and Spotty and, Turtle had been 'do ing; how large a family Mr. and Mrs. Redwing had raised, and if Rattles the Kingfisher Still came fishing every-day In the smiling pool? Grandfather Frog answered all his questions and then declared that he had talked enough for one morning, binding that Grandfather Frog really meant what he said, Danny first hunt ed for something to eat, and then find ing a comfortable place on the bank of the Smiling Pool, decided to take a nap. Now Just by chance, that very morn ing Reddy Fox decided that he, too, would visit the Sratltn^ Pool. Reddy likes a tender young frog for a change in his bill of fare once in a while. So about the time Danny Meadow Mouse decided to take a nap Reddy Fox start ed toward the Smiling Pool. As tye drew near it he crouched low In the grass and stole forward very carefully and stealthily, doing his best to keep ns much out of sigTit as pbssfbTe. Near er and, nearer he crept to the bank of he Smiling Pool, and It Just happened that he was headed straight for the spot where Danny Meadow Mouse was napping. Now Reddy wasn’t thinking of Dan ny Meadb’w &iouse. He was thinking of young frogs. But as he drew near the bank of the Smiling Pool a care less Merry Little Breeze brought to him the scent of Danny Meadow Mouse. It tickled Reddy’s nose. It made him forget young frogs. A fat meadow mouse would be much better eating than a young frog. Reddy became more careful than ever, j He crept along almost on his stomjjfch in the direction from wdiich that scent came. All the time Danny Meadow Mouse was having pleasant dreams in that comfortable place on the banks of the Smiling Pool, w’holly unconscious that danger was any where near.- ©. T. W.
