FEEDING MOLDY CORN.
A PerniciOus Practice That May Re-
suit in Serious Intestinal and
Nervous Disorders.

There is a great deal of moldy corn
that arose two years ago, when there
was considerable loss from spinal men
nights in cattle. The fall was wet that
year and much corn nodded, and the
popular belief was that the moldy
corn was responsible for the disease.
The Indiana experiment station in
vestigated the matter thoroughly,
feeding active growths of the bac
terium and mold found in the corn,
to two horses, injecting the same I'M
der the skin, ETC., without producing
the disease, though some disorder of
gums and mouth resulted. Finally
the horses were fed all the spoiled
(moldy) corn they would eat. The
first three days they ate of it greed
lily, but after that it was with diff
Guilty that they could be induced to
eat any. This produced some disor-
der, but the horses quickly recovered.
One horse was killed, but a post NOR
tenn failed to discover any LESSONS. In
none of the tests was cerebro spinal
meningitis induced by moldy grain.
The report says: "The results of the
experiment show that inoculations
with cultures of the bacteria and
molds were ineffective. Eating of the
mashes containing pure cultures
showed that only in the case of a
growth of a species of fusarium did
any intestinal disturbance follow, and
that in one case the feeding of the
rot ted grain produced considerable in
festival disturbance and some nervous
symptoms, but that the disturbance
was light in the other" It appears
therefore, that while many of the
cases of sickness in Gtock attributed
to eating moldy corn are due to other
causes, the continued use of such food
may result in intestinal and nervous
disorders of serious Ea ure.-Prai.

H ISIS FRANCES M. ANDERSON,

from the Astoria" Washington, D.

"About two months ago was taken

Frances M. Anderson.
La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidemic
catarrh-that is to say, variety OF acute
catarrh which is SO contagious and runs a
course more or less definite, the same as
scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc.
During the acute stages OF la grippe 1t II
not q very fatal disease, but the condition ip
in which it leaves the system has caused the
death of countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has hac
Ia grippe within the last three years find:
himself more or less deranged by the per
nicious effects of this disease. The major
ity of those who have escaped death fine
life scarcely worth living.
If tkis vast multitude of people could only
know with what certainty Peruna woule
relieve them of all the bad effects which Il
grippe has brought upon them, what an un
told amount of suffering could be averted

EAST LYNNE TONIGHT.
Elleferds Will Present the Pepur
Plav.


East Lynne, to be presented tonighe
at the Orpheum, is one of the older
plays that does not seem to have out
lived its usefulness or it's popularity
Nine out of ten of the touring roper
toire companies invariably present IL
on Friday nights during their week
stands, and many a company has NOV
ed to the next town on the receipts of
East Lynne, when more modern plays
on which heavy royalty is paid, have
failed to draw. 1t is common saying
among the profession that a company
playing a three-night stand with Uncle
Tom, East Lynne and Ten Nights in a
Barroom, would present an irresistible
lcombina ton and coin money.
Just where the attractions of East
Lynne differentiate from other plays is
/ a hard matter to decide. 1t is probably
the growing up of plot out of ordin-
airy surroundings with the spiciness of
scandal in high life that first drew
public favor. The language used, too,
is good, sound English. and the morals
unimpeachable. AT all events East
Lynne always draws a crowded house,
and viii probably do SO tonight
Miss Wierne and Miss Laird should
present the opposing types of Lady
Isabel and aBrbara in clear-cut fash

Carlyle Walling, too. as Sir Francis,
should give a good portrayal of the re-
fined rogue. Baby Lillian will be in
evidence and help to bring the tears
that ever greet an East Lynne per-
Torrance.
East Lynne will also be given at the
matinee on Saturday afternoon, the
seat sale for which promises a full
house.
