Eric Johnson's Case
Of CIoquet, Minnesota

Mr.. Eric Johnson, of Cloquet, Mime
sofa, was born with a box-club foot,
turned squarely In so that the toe was
opposite the instep of the straight foot,
so that he had to step over the box-club
foot every step he took. A box-club foot
is where the heel is greatly enlarged and
forms circle like the outer edge OF a
round loaf of bread; the instep is un-
naturally high, the toes run to a point
and the outer edge of the foot forms a
half circle, while the inner edge is a
cup. You can readily imagine what the
shape OF shoe made to fit such a foot
would look like, twisted around so that
the toe was throwing side glances at the
heel, while the heel itself looks to be
large enough to fit an elephant And for
twenty-six years he has been in this con-
dition-a confirmed cripple.
He came to see the Bone-Setter about
two months ago, through the personal
recommendation Of Mr.. John L. Erick-
son, editor of the Superior Tidende," >"
who is personally acquainted with the
Bone-Setter, has personal knowledge of
the Bone-Setter's good work. and who

Adjoining the amphitheater is a large

nearly through the entire building, and
to the left are the large laboratory and
physiology rooms, both beautifully lighted
and modern in every respect. Four rooms
back of these are fitted up as contagious
ward. Each room is separated from all
the others. An animal suffering from a
contagious disease may thus be complete
ly isolated during treatment. The floors
are of cement, inclined to a waste pipe in
the center thus affording opportunity for
flushing, while the walls are of brick,
covered with glazed paint which makes
them easy to keep in thoroughly anti
septic condition.

MINNESOTA POLITICS

All sorts of schemes are brewing to avoid
unpleasant consequences from the new pri-
mary law. Politicians realize that If per-
mitted to go haphazard, the result is likely
to be lopsided tickets in most OF the legisla-
tive districts. Under the convention system,
where there were two or more counties in
district, the senator and representatives were
apporuoned by agreement. Without an agree
ment, one county may secure all the ticket.
There is already talk Of holding mass con-
Ventions to pick out legislative candidates,
and prevent such an occurrence. Many sena-
torial districts, as in Ramsey county, are di
vided into representative districts This will
insure proper division of the lower house
members, and the senatorship will be the
only lottery. Ir some districts, however this
division is hard to make. Where there are
three counties, in the ifty-third district
and only two representatives, a division is
almost impossible.
Down in Goodhue county they are discus
sing the senatorship, on the theory that SEN
etor Dickey will not ask for another term.
Red Wing is likely to demand the senator
this time, as the country has had it for
eight years. Ole K. Naseth of Wanamingo
former member Of the lower house and an
influential farmer, will have the support OF
the southern section of the county if he
goes after the senatorship
Henry K. Nelson of Elbow Lake, member
of the lower house and a son of Senator
Nelson, says Grant county is for Eddy for
