bushels of that particular grade. And
when this receipt Is again presented, he
does not give back the same grain, but
simply SO many bushels of that grade.

but rather by sample-as for milling
purposes-the best quality sometimes
brings several cents bushel more than
the poorer quality, though OF the same
grade. The warehouse men saw that
they could sell by sample the best quail
ity Of particular grade and supply its
place by lower quality of the same
grade and pocket the difference. This
would reduce the average quality of the
whole pile, and in case the owners Of
any Of the pile should wish to sell by
sample they would suffer in conse-
quence. The elevator owners went into
the business Of buying and selling grain
and mixing 1t with that of their custom
ers. A suit was brought to enjoin them
from doing this. Much evidence was
taken, and after full hearing Judge
Tuley, the Nestor of the bench OF Chi
cago, granted the injunction on the
grounds, among others, that the eleva-
tor owners We're trustees or custOdians
of other peoples property, that the In.

constant temptation for them to change

held in trust; and, second, that II the
elevator men were permitted to act In

advantages as would enable them to

son Of their enormous storage capacity
they could withhold or throw on to the
market at any time vast quantities Of
wheat, and thus depress or raise the
market at pleasure, which would not
be SO II there were many owners. The
case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, and that court sustained Judge

Keep Food StuffS Apart.

are almost rs susceptible to the influence
Of neighboring foods as are milk and

Science to Resuscitate Dead.

The scientific world is waiting with
breathless anxiety the results of expert
mentS now being made by Drs. Tuffier
and HalliOn in Paris What has thus
far been published in the Semaine Medi-
Gale and verified by facts, though far
from having attained the sanguine ambi-
ton Of the eXperimenters, gives hopes of
4 gradual victory over disease and death.
The ambition Of Drs. Tuffier and Hal
lion is nothing less than the resustication
of dead bodies. In unsheathing their
swords against the terrible destruction
of the grin reaper they do not presume
to overthrow the time-honOred belief of
Christianity and other religions that sin
IS the primary cause of death. To the
ancient exclamation, ''Oh, death, where
is thy sting? Oh, grave, where is thy
victory?" they also respond with Paul
the apostle, Death is the wages Of sin. :"
But all this does not deter them from
battling against the premature on
slaughts Of the grim reaper, and they say
bers of a body-those that are indispen-
sable to the maintenance of life-are still
in a normal state after death, science will
finally be able TO renew life.
The success Of Drs. Tuffier and Hal
lion means a revolution in medical
science.
Think of the joys of parents to whom
science would restore their offspring of
whom they have been robbed by prema-
ture deaths and the millions who, after
having expired in the bloom of life. will
be snatched from an early grave!
Thus far these energetic physicians
have only experimental with two beings
"a young man and a dog. Sad to say,
the young man only lived two hours after
reSuScitatiOn, while the dog is still alive
! and promises to live to an old age.
The case of the young man was pa
tient % years of age, who had been sub
jected to an operation for peritonitis.
The results of the operation took their
normal course, but on the fourth day he
suddenly SWoOned away and died DrS.
Tutfier and HalliOn were called in and
they at once set to work to induce arti-
fetal respiration, while for hours a
rhythmical movement of the tongue and
a ceaseless rubbing of the muscles were
kept up Several other details Of the
resuscitating methods were executed,
with the result that the blood began to
move in the arteries and the patient to
open his eyes. Three or four minutes
afterward the heart grew still again and
the treatment was again applied. This
time the patient lived for an hour,
though he was very weak and uncon-
sciOus Despite a third attempt to re-
vive the young man he died. and the
doctors relented in the hope of having
better luck with other corpses
The case of the dog was that of a lit
tie puppy which had been drowned. 1t
belonged to a friend OF DR.. Hallion, who
determined to restore it alive to its mis-
treSs.
1t took four hours to resuscitate the
dos, but the doctor feels proud of his
achievement and promises to perfect the
new method

NEW DIPHTHERIA CURE.
People Care Nothing for Professioua
Differences If it Cures.


Medicine these days is making such
strides that the cure Of today is sup
planted by the cure of tomorrow. and
new discoveries revolutionize the theories
and practices of treatment. 1t is we'll
that our best physicians are slow to ac-
cept innovations, for often the remedies
heralded with the loudest acclaim soon
disappear, and it IS a risky thing to try
experiments on human life. At the same
time, that seems to be about the only
way by which real progress may be
made.
This year what is known as the chic
rine remedy for diphtheria has been
thoroughly tried Oh twenty-four cases in
the Kingston Avenue hospital, in Brook
lyn. and the result was twenty-four com
plete recOveries. The New. York board
Of health is now making further tests.
and its report will be anXiously awaited.
In the meanwhile, physicians who have
tried the remedy are sending individual

under investigation is said to be the dis
covery of DR.. +. NJ. Bracelin of Daven-
