A Secret Disease

OF all human diseases, that known as
contagious blood poison, or the Bad
Disease, has caused more misery and suf-
fering and ruined more lives than all
others combined. It not only wrecks the
hopes and aspirations Of the one who
contracts it, but often the innocent are
made to share the humiliation and dis
grace of this most loathsome and hateful
form of blood poison. Children inherit
it from parents, and thousands of the
purest men and women have been con-
taminated and ruined simply through
handling the clothing of one infected

LAKE i BATHS PAID
The Public Bathhouse at Calhoun i:
Just About Paid Expenses
This Season.
On the Other Hand, River Baths
Lost Money and May Be- = .
Discontinued. - :.

Had the board of park commissioners
stationed an attendant at the entrance to
the Riverside baths during the season to
hand 70 cents to every person who came
to go elsewhere and take a paid bath,
the city would have saved money. AS it
was, the expenses for the season over
balanced the receipts. 1t cost $685. to
maintain the baths, while the receipts
for the entire season at that bathhouse
were by $35. f.
Superintendent of Parks William Berry
thinks the results of the Riverside baths
but emphasize the fact that 1t is not pos
sibie to make river baths profitable in
Minneapolis. The swiftness of the cur
rent and the fact that the water is not
pure, make bathing neither safe nor
pleasant. He thinks that the Riverside
baths will not be reopened next season.
The baths at Lake Calhoun, returned a
net profit Of $2065 The actual expenses
were s553.1O, while the receipts were
s573.75. 1t cost s235.44 to put up the bath
houses last spring and to take them down
at the close Of the season, and when this
fact is taken into consideration, the baths
were not quite self supporting. 1t must
be considered, however, that there was
an unusual amount of cold weather this
season, and for that reason the baths
were not as popular as in a warm sum-

the English revolution, is said to have
died. this morning at:913 Hennepin ave-
nue., Minneapolis; e:in the person of the
Rev. Percy M. Clarendon. At various
times Mr.. Clarendon asserted his claims
of lineage. He even secured moderate
sum in lieu Of his demands against the
fore fortunate members of. his family.
Mr.. Clarendon was about so. He had
long been In impaired health, and had un-
5dergone several operations. - 81 =
No sooner had her husband breathed
his last this morning than his wife
swooned. She Is still unconscious. It is
doubtful whether she will survive:
There are no children to continue the
struggle for their fathers rights.
Mr.. Clarendon was highly cultured. His
scholarly gifts opened the way to respon-
sible positions upon New York journals

ago. During the year or more that
he has been in Minneapolis he was en-
gagged upon university extension work.
He had many warm friends among local
