Unique Methods Employed to Over

Freezing, baking, Illuminating. tor
turing, frightening and bruising are
among the accepted ways of curing GER
tain diseases, says q writer in the Phil
adelphia Times. For example, the bak-
ing cure: When one has well devel-
oped rheumatism. he is placed in a spe-
cies of stove and the crystals of uric
acid are literally melted out of his body
Another odd cure once tried for
rheumatism was burial in damp,
warm clay. The first rheumatic burial
took place at Menominee, Mich. The
treatment was not success. and this
form of cure has been given up
The freezing cure: This was first in
PRODUCED by Swiss doctor, Paul Bur
deyront. He placed his patients in
sheets immersed in ice water, packing
the patient all about with crushed ice.
This treatment is today used in typhoid
fever cases.
Or the patient is plugged into an ice
water bath The treatment saves many
lives. Raging fever above l05 degrees
f has been brought down by these
means to nOrmal-9S 2-5 degrees-in
less than ten minutes.
Neither of these modes of treatment
actually freezes one. A physician of
Paris, NJ. Figeau. introduced in 1890 an
ammonia vapor method, which really
froZe the patient. The body was placed
in ii chamber into which certain chem
icalS were introduced. Ammonia gas,
by sudden evaporation, then produced
intense cold. and the blood in the body
lost most of its heat
Nj. Figeau's method did moi meet
with success. Some of his patients
succumbed to the drastic measures.

HIS PREACHER CANDlDA1 E
The Senator Knew He was a Preach
er but Didn't Know His De-
nomination.


When Senator John @. Anderson
went out to Pierre he carried in his
mind an appointment preacher out on
the reservation wanted to get in the
legislature. 1t was that OF chaplain for
the senate. John remembe that and
when the time came for the appoint
ment he suggested that his friend
be given the plum. He was asked if
his friend was preacher and he re-
piled that he was, sure, and that he
was his family pastor. They asked him
if he was Methodist, Congregation
alist, q Presby yterian, Baptist or to what
denomination he belonged. That
stumped John but he declared that he
would find out, and he did with the re-.
suit that the reservation preacher will
look after the morals of the senator's.
A Pierre letter also states that when
Senator Anderson put in his mileage
travel to the state capital he cut it
down to the lowest possible limit. and
while he was really entitled to 500 miles
from his home be said he was satisfied
with 100 miles. as he could skip across
the country and get there pretty quick.

FOR SPRING ATHLETICS.
State University Team Getting in
Readiness to Meet Some Out
side Colleges.

The track team of the state university
at Vermillion is making dates for the
early spring meets with other colleges.
The first date will probably be on Dec
oration day at Sioux City, with the Ne.
braska team, and later with the Kansa1
University at Lawrence, Drake Uni
versity at Des Moines, and Brookings
Agricultural college at Sioux Falls. It
is hoped that the feeling between Ver-
million and Mitchell will be bridged
over this season in order that the ath-
letes of the two schools can test their
ability on the athletic field. Vermil-
lions date with Brookings ought to
pave the way for a reconciliation.
+ As an indication that the Vermillion
football team did not amount to much
this year is evidenced by their game
with the Lincoln Medics. Il will be
remembered that the game resulted in
victory for Vermillion by a score of S
10 6. When Will Herbert was up for
his Christmas vacation he stated that
a short time before the Medics played
Vermillion they met the Lincoln high
school team and the latter defeated the
| Medios by score of 60 to 0. 1t can
now be understood why the Vermillion
boys did not want to meet Mitchell ON
the gridiron. We understand, how
ever, that the team itself was willing to
meet Mitchell but the student body was
bitterly opposed to having anything to
do with US and 80 the matter was
dropped.

tion of all who consider our commercial
interests. Reliable Information is not
obtainable, but am informed by G. p.
Sherwood, secretary OF the South Da-
kota Dairy and Buttermakers Associa-
tion, and the successful manager of the
De Smet creamery, that there arc
about one hundred and fifty creameries
in the state; that bis creamery paid out
for milk during the year of 1900 the
sum of $4,000. Surely this growing
industry should receive from this leg
islature the most careful consideration.
South Dakota, by virtue of unsurpassed
natural conditions, can be made tho
leading dairy state in the union. It is
within the power Of properly equipped
and we'll regulated dairy and food do
partment to do it. Then let it be done.
There 10 probably no subject of greater
importance to come before this lsgisla-
ture.

500 head have died from the disease
