DIR. Semi THOUGHT
TO BE IN NO PERIL.
Inflammation in Right Hand Subdued and
Serious Results Are Now Little
Feared by His Friends.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 30.-The alarm Gre
ated over the condition of DR.. Nicholas
Sem by reason of the telegraphic reports
from Kansas City, Mo-, Saturday night,
has been much allayed by reports re-
ceivcd last night.
DR.. Sem stopped of at Kansas City
on his way home to Chicago from a visit
with a sister at Valley Springs, Kan,

ened blood poisoning of the right hand
received during the performance of seven
operations in one day recently in Chica GO
lIhe hand was dressed by Kansas City
surgeons, who found that the infection
has extended as far as the elbow.
Reports last night stated that Dr.
Senn's condition was very much i'm
proved, and that he had started at $40
O'Clock for Chicago, accompanied by DIR.

much qualification at the reports Of her
husbands condition.
Reports from DR.. Sem have been
most encouraging as to his condition."
she said. I'VE have received two tele-
grams, and each conveys the Informal
ton that he has almost recovered. The
inflammation resulting from the infection.
and which made his condition so alarm

his injured hand, and we expect will

Reads Like a Miracle.

Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. 30.--The
Butler case still continues to be the
talk of the town. Mr.. G.. L. Butler,
the father Of the little boy, says:
"The doctor said my boy had disease
Of the spinal chord, and treated him
for two months, during which ne got
worse all the time Finally, the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wake up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem
bling and would want to run from the
house, saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else, read an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as
cure for Nervous Troubles. l pur
chased some and used them until he
had taken altogether eight boxes,
when he was sound and well with
not a single symptom Of the old trou
BILE. This was some months ago, and
feel sure that he is permanently
cured. We owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills
all the credit for his restoration to
good health"

he prefaced his remarks by telling the
story Of a prank played by the governor
when he was young student at the uni

BURNING CHARCOAL.
Carried by Natives of Kash,nir 1t Causesi
an Epidemic of Cancer.


Jonathan Hutchinson, during his rel
cent trip to India, made some interesting
observations on disease, and he conn.,
ments upon them in his usual interesting
way. In the Polytechnic for May appears
an editorial on the cause Of cancer.
which, If we mistake not, is from Mr..
Hutchinson's pen, for it has all the ear
marks of his style and Of his turn of
thought. The writer of the editorial
calls attention to peculiar form Of can
Ger that prevails in Kashmir-the ''Valnl
Of Cashmere" of the poets. This VARIETY
Of cancer is an epitholioma, which is mott
peculiar in an historical sense, but isl
merely Of peculiar origin. The site Of
the growth is either the abdomen or the
inside Of the thigh. OF twenty cases, re-
ported by Elmslie as long ago as 1866,
four were in females and sixteen in
males.
DR.. Elmslie attributed the disease to a
curious local custom Of the Inhabitants
Of Kashmir. 1t seems that Kashmir
(Which is an elevated valley among high
mountains) has a severe winter climate,
and the natives carry what is called
kangri.
This is a small brazer, filled with
burning charcoal. and is carried under
meath the clothing. 1t is Of earthenware,
protected by wickerwork. When the

hangs on the abdomen, but when sitting
it is placed between the thighs. In Kash-
mir no man, woman or child thinks it
possible to be cOmfortab BILE in winter with
out a kangri under the clothes. Other
writer's have described this peculiar Gus
tom, and reference is made to it in the
British Encyclopaedia.
Recently some valuable additions to
our knowledge Of kangri cancer have
been made by DR.. Neve, the head of a
mission station at Kashmir. He proves
that the disease is common, for he refers
to nearly 500 cases. These cases point
individually to local NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Success with Root Crops.

root crops has given better yields at the
Ontario Experiment Station than me-
dunn and small-siZed seed. Whole
seed Of mangels and sugar beets pro-
duced a greater yield than similar
quantity Of broken seed. An expert
ment conducted this season resulted in
the best yields Of sugar beets and car
rots when the seed was planted ~

as having given better yields Of sugar
beets than ridge culture. A mixed fer

Short Suggestions.

0u&kSSIAOASs
Pieces Of old napkins should be
saved for wrapping fowl or chickens
in before putting in the icebox.
Window wedges are worth much and
cost little. No bedroom window should
be without it's wedge for by means of
it rafting may be prevented on stormy
nights and the occupant Of the room
may sleep undisturbed.
The economical woman will use even
her bread crumbs. She will heat the
crumbs in the oven until crisp, then
roll and put them away until needed
in glass jar. The possibilities In bits
of bread are by no means confined to
the familiar bread pudding.
A French salad for use with cold
boiled tongue is made by adding to a
regular French dressing mustard and
half a small onion, six anchovies and
six sprigs Of parsley chopped fine. Lay
the tongue in delicate slices on plat
ter and pour the dressing over.
Coarse brown sugar Is an article of
constant use in a kitchen. A saltspoon-
full to a pound Of meat assists tender
ness in the case of such parts Of beef
as, are commonly used for stews, pud-
dings, etc. But the result is better still
if a modicum of grated apple be used.
There are many objections to the
use of poisonous articles to keep mice
out Of a house and fresh hint may
be useful to those who are troubled
with these little pests. Mice have a
great antipathy to the smell Of pepper
mint, and little oil Of peppermint
placed around their haunts and holes
will successfully keep them away
