February, tho birth month of Washington, Lincoln, Edison, Dickens

Those who weathered the storm of examinations are ready to take a new

cials in Interest of
Library

Few of tho people of Lexington and
fewer still of the people of the Stato
and county know that here in the
Library of Transylvania College is
a collection of rare volumes of value
and interest not to be equaled in the
South and unsurpassed by any in the
United States in the number of rare
books it contains.
This valuable collection of books is
housed in a biulding which is not fireproof and in which it can not be displayed to the best advantage. Such a
condition is to be remedied according
to the officials of Transylvania College, College of the Bible and Hamilton College, who are including the
program for an adequate building and
equipment for the Library in their
participation in the great
World Movement which Is now on all
over the country.
President Frank L. McVey and Dr.
Frank E. Tuttle were present at a
January
dinner conference, Friday,
23, at the Phoenix Hotel with President Crossfleld and other officials of
Transylvania
College and invited
guests. The conference was called to
discuss ways and means for making
the value of the library of rare books
better known to the people of the
State and 'United States and emphasize it as a distinctive asset of Lexington.

MAN DISCOVERS SERUM

Professor Graham Successful in Saving Lives of 2
With Antidote
Professor Robert Graham, of tho
University of Illinois, formerly a mem
ber of tho faculty of this- University,
has discovered a scrum which is an
antidote for tho germ which caused
the deaths of a number of persons who
ate tainted canned ripo olives nnd
wore poisoned by them.
Serum prepared by Professor Graham and shipped to Now York saved
the life of Lena Delbcn, ten years old,
the sole survivor of a family of seven
poisoned by tho eating of olives that
contained the germ.
Professor Graham received the request for Berum at night and it was
rushed from Urbana, 111., to Chicago,
where It was placed with the airplane
mail for New York. An accident to
the plane caused it to land and the
serum was carried tho rest of the way
by train, the six of the seven victims
of the poison had died before it
reached them. The seventh responded promptly to the treatment.
,The call, from New York for the serum was the second Dr. Graham had
received, tho first being from Detroit,
where it, was used successfully.
Di-- .
Graham discovered the serum
jn hiq experiments in animal pathology. The, serum was first used by
Professor H. P. Rusk and Professor
H. S. Grindley, both of the animal
husbandry department of the University at Ottawa, 111. Its use to save
the lives of human beings poisoned
by tainted food is a recent develop'
ment, but as in the case of the New
child, and at Detroit, its efficacy
York
is proved.
Newspapers the country over carried stories of the race with death
of the mail men carrying the antitoxin
and of the accident near Gary, Ind.,
which caused him to transfer to a
train. He would have been in New
York in seven hours had he followed
his original plan to cut across Lake
Michigan direct for Cleveland and but
for the accident to his plane, which
stopped because the engines went out
of commission, all of the family might
have been saved.
