MENTIONS CURES FOR
ANEMIA IN TALK HEREi

"DEVELOPMENTS IN PERNICIOUS
ANEMIA," IS SUBJECT OF
DISEASE SPECIALIST
NAMES DIET AS ONE CURE
Cure Very Uncertain, Simpson Memo-
rial Head Maintains, As Treat-
ment Is Continuous
"Liver or kidneys diet is the only
cure that has yet been found for Per-
nicious Anemia," stated Professor C.
C. Sturgis in a lecture given yester-
day afternoon at five o'clock at the
Natural Science Auditorium: "This
cannot strictly be called a cure,"
added Professor turgis, "since the
patient must continue the treatment
throughout his life."
Professor Sturgis is director of the
Simpson Memorial Institute, which
was founded specifically for research
in the field of Pernicious Anemia.
"There is much to be discovered yet
about this disease," he stated, "be-
cause no cause has been definitely
ascertained for it." He mentioned the
fact that there are many other kinds
of anemia, some accompanying hemor-
rhage, cancer, and loss of blood. Per-
nicious Anemia is associated with
none of these. Until four years ago
the disease was incurable, but experi-
ments at Harvard at that time dis-
covered the fact that liver and kidneys
fed to the patient at the rate of one-
half poun'd a day brought about a
complete return to normal.
Affects Older Persons
"The disease occurs for the most
part in persons over forty years of
age," stated Professor Sturgis, "and
is frown to be present by the extreme
weakness and pallor of the patient."1
This liver cai be fed to the patient
raw, cooked, as an extract, or as a
powder, and is said to begin to take
active effect between three to six days
after the treatment is started. le-
covery is complee within three
months.
"One man gained thirty-six pounds
in six weeks," the speaker said, "and
great improvement is to be seen in all
cases." He also stated that the ma-
jority of cases ,of Pernicious Anemia
occur in the Nordic races, very few
negroes or South Americans being af-
fieted.
Has Serious Consequences
"In some cases the victims lose part
of their spinal cord, causing them to
lose all idea of the position of their
feet," declared the speaker, "giving
them a shambling, awkward motion
when they walk." He added that the
cause of this destruction is not
known. "The greatest cause of the3
failure of the liver treatment," he an-
nounced, "is that the patient cases
eating the full half-pound of the meat
after hehas recovered and left our
institution"
The lecture was concluded with the.
statement that, while the medical pro-
fession has a great deal to do in its
study of the causes and cures of dis-
eases, it has already advancedsfar, and
the conquering of a disease of so
deadly a nature as Pernicious Anemia
is a significant mark of that advance-
ment.
NFW COURTS TO
BE CONSTRUCTED
Four concrete tennis courts will be
constructed at the west end of the
new intramural sports building, it
was announced yesterday at the of-
flce of the athletic association. Work
on the four courts will begin immedi-

ately, and they will be available for
play by September.
This announcement follows immedi-
ately upon that one of the construe-
tion of ten clay c urts on the land
adjoining the Coliseum and the six-
teen courts for Palm -r field, women'sI

Noted Character Actor Succumbs After
Illness of Two Months; Gained
Fame as Tragedian\
TOOK MANY NOTED ROLES
ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. J.,
June 27.-Robert Bruce Mantell, noted
Shakespearean actor and producer,
died at his home here today after an
illness of two months. He was 74
years old.;
The tragedian, who had suffered a1
breakdown, died at his estate, Bruce-,
wood. At his bedside when the end
ca.o were his wife and son and fm-
ily physician, who had been in con-,
stant attendance for the last week,
when the patient showed signs ofI
sinking.

actors of his time in the portrayal of,
romantic parts depicting youth, beauty
and the nobler traits of character,
Robert Bruce Mantell has been de-
scribed as "the last of an illustrious
race" in the field of tragic drama.-
The critic who thus referred to him,
was speaking of the days when trage-
dians such as Edwin Booth, Charles
Kane, Henry Wallack, John MCul-
louglA and many others of equal fame
dominated the English-speaking stage.-
His first tour of the United States
was made in 1882, when he began at;
the Grand Opera house, New York, as
Sir Clement Huntingford in "The
World" and subsequently appeared in
this, "The Romany Rye" and other
productions from coast to coast.
Shakespearean plays in which he ex-
celled included "Othello," "Richard
III," "King Lear," "The Merchant of
Venice" and "Macbeth."
Mr.. Mantell was born Feb. 7, 1854,
at Irvine, Scotland, the son of James
and Elizabeth (Bruce) Mantell. He
was twice married and had two sons,
the children of his first wife, and one
daughter by his second wife, Charlotte
Behrens, a well-known actress.

AMUNDSENSTILL SILENT
(By Associated Press)
KINGSBAY, Spitzenbergen, June 27.
-The dangerous ice floes added one
more obstacle today to efforts of the
rescue party who are struggling
against overwhelming odds to save
the remaining members of the, Italia's
crew. ,
The wireless message from the
Quest,. base ship of the Swedish res-
cue expedition, said that the vessel
had encountered a movement of ice
from the east across Hinlopen Strait.
The crew have been compelled to
leave Wahlenberg Bay, seeking refuge
on the north coast of Stone Island.
No news has been received here
throwing light on the fate of Roald
A mundsen.
Fear was still held that the six men
who drifted away in the balloon part
of the Italia after its crash on the
polar ice cap, were dead, when it was
learned that the airship had caught
fire.
Of the 16 men who left aboard the
dirigible for the North Pole on May
23, only' six are now known to be
alive. 'One man was killed and three
have been missing since they started
afoot for land.

SURVEY PROPOSED IN INTEREST OF
FAIR DISTRIBUTION OF TAX BURDEN

President C. C. Little, in an inter-
view yesterday, made clear that his
presentation to Governor Green of a=
plan whereby the University would
conduct a complete tax survey in
Michigan was motivated by a desire
for an equal and just distribution of
the tax burden within the state.
"I think that we all agree that the
siuation is very serious and that the
burden of taxation has increased and
is increasing so rapidly and extens-
ively as to form a real menace to the
stability of whole communities and in-
dustries not only in our state but in
every state in the union," Dr. Little
declared yesterday.
"It has been found helpful," he con-
tinued, "in one or two other localities
to have the University place all its
resources at the disposal of the people

of the state for an impartial study'
and report on the situation."
The proposed plan would entail a
thorough study of various phases of
the tax problem conducted by mem-
bers of the University faculty, espe-
cially those in the departments of
forestry, geography, education, polit-
ical science, economics and mathe-
matical statistics. The problem would
be approached from the standpoint of
origin and distribution of taxes, as-
sessment methods and the general re-
lation of taxes to the public welfare
Dr. Little made it clear that the
plan was in no way intended to be
lucrative to the University. The pro-
posal was made by him in view of
the splendid equipment and resources
that the Universityi now has to carry
on such a survey at an almost negli
gible expense.
