ViruIent Cancer Cured.

Startling proof of a wonderful advance
in medicine is given by druggist G. w.
Roberts of Elizabeth, w. Va. An old
man there had long suffered with what
good doctors pronounced incurable
cancer. They believed his case hopeless
till he used. Electric Bitters and applied
Bucklen's Arnica Salve, which treat.
ment completely cured him. When
Electric Bitters are used to expel bilious
kidney and microbe poisons at the same
time this salve exerts its matchless heal
ing power, blood diseases, skin eruptions
ulcc:s and sores vanish. Bitters SOC

Owing to rain there was no game last
Saturday.
The Cardinals are becoming interested
in the game to be with West Stewards

1t seems that Stewartstown people are

secure players to come up and trim the

we guarantee that the aggregation that
comes here Saturday will get some little
practice out of the game.
A new score board has been erected
at the base ball grounds by +. D.
Flaherty.
Those wishing seats on the grand
stand should 60 early Saturday as there
will be rush for best positions.
The Stratfords will be here Saturday
to play the Shirtmakers Immediately al
ter the game between the Stewartstowr
boys and the Cardinals.

First American Mandolin.

The first mandolin made in America
was turned out in Chicago and was
built by joseph Bohmann, an instru-
ment maker who was well known at
the time as manufacturer Of viOlins.
The date was 1888 or 1884. The writer
of this article was teaching and play
ing the mandolin in Chicago at the
time, using a small model imported
French instrument, and remembers the
Bohmann instrument particularly on
account Of it's unusual size, much lar
ger than any he had ever seen, its
peculiar shape and it's very crude con-
struction as compared with those Of
later date. Nevertheless it was a be-
ginning. Other manufacturers expert
mented, and it was but a short time
until Bohmann and other makers were
turning out instruments that were ac-
cepted by professionals as superior to
the imported mandolins. From that
time to the present progress and con-
tinual improvement has been the rule
until now the American instruments
have passed all competition.-Clar

NARROW ESCAPE
Joe Anderson Fails from Top
OF Telephone Pole.

Joseph Anderson, Milbank
man who was employed as a
line man on the Dakota Central
telephone at Aberdeen, last
Friday fell from the top of a pole,
but it is believed was not fatally
injured. The News says of the
accident:
He was at the top of pole near the
residence of G.. M. L. Erwin. He had
fastened his safety belt around him
self and the pole and was busy at
work when the belt gave way and he
had sheer fall of about thirty five
feet to the sidewalk. Persons who
saw him fall hurried to his assistance
and he was found unconscious and
apparently without serious injury.
He was taken in Garage to his room
at the Askew house and doctor called.
An examination showed that the
worst injury apparent was the break
ing of two bones in one of his feet.
The muscles and flesh of his back are
bruised and sore and there other
bruises, butitis hoped that no internal
injuries will develop. Anderson has
been at work for the telephone
company for several months.

A Chinese Legend.

The origin Of wedding customs, such
as the wearing of veil, the throwing
of old shoes for good luck, ETC., seem to
have a perennial interest for the pub
lie. But here is new and charming
legend to account for the throwing of
rice at the fleeing bride and bride
groom.
The custom, 1t seems, is Chinese. A
famous sorcerer named Chao became
Jealous Of the power Of another sorcer-
er, woman, and, conceiving plan to
destroy her, he persuaded her parents
to bestow her upon his supposed son.
The crafty Chao chose the most un-
lucky day for the wedding. the day
when the Golden Pheasant" was in
the ascendant, so that when the bride
entered the red chair the spirit bird
would destroy her with his powerful
beak. But Peach Blossom gave direc-
tons to have rice thrown out at the
door, and she passed cut unharmed
while the spirit bird was devouring it.

Salt and Cancer.

An eminent London physician ad-
vances the theory that excess of salt
Is one of the four factors which cause
cancer. It is essential, but is inopera-
tive without one or two others. Ex-
cess of salt may arise from too much
meat. He considers that other factors
are overnOurishment, an impure condi-
ton of the body resulting, owing to
the nonuse and nonoxidatiOn of food.
Some local irritant or stimulant. such
as friction from the stem Of pipe or
irritant from some micro organism,
must always be present. Cancer is
seldom seen among Jewesses. possibly
from the difference Of diet. Savages,
so far as is known, are exempt from
cancer, and they get no salt. All the
domestic animals, except the pig. are
subject to cancer, and salt is given to
sheep, cows and horses. but never to
pigs.
