Prof. Jordan. of the Minneapolis public

saw. that nine-tenths of it comes from
stomach troubles, and that it is the di
rect result of having children in school
from $50 in the morning until |. 80 in the

to get anything to eat. The confinement
also tells upon the scholars. AS a result

When John W. Macaky was shot last
winter two physicians attended him and

Mackay promptly refused to pay on the
ground that the charges were excessive.
This would not have attracted much at
tention but for the fact that soon after
he, as executor of an estate, allowed a
bill of $4,000 for attorneys fees. The
doctors took up the matter and think
they have shown that the legal skill and
labor for which these fees were allowed
were triflng, and not so well worth the
money as the surgeonical service rem
