CURED BY CARBOllC ACID.
North Dakota Physician Tries New
Remedy for Locsjaw.
E-o~~, 49, Do:r1,
From Fridays Daily.


Hypodermic injections of carbolic acid
is cure for tetanus, recently discovered
by DIR. Patterson of Lisbon, n. d. The
young son of I. A. Curtis of that city
was successfully treated in this manner
last week.
He had stepped on rusty nail, and
in twelve lays lockjaw set in. DR.. Pat
terson was called. None of the standard
remedies could be obtained at any of the
drug stores, SO the physician determined
to try hypodermic injections of corbolic
acid.
In less than week the boy was cured.
This discovery is startling to the medi-
cal world. Such method of administer
ing to tetanus patients has never been
thought of much less tried.
Some Minneapolis physicians are in
clined to doubt that the boy was afflicted
with tetanus, as they do not believe car
bolic acid could cure the disease. How
ever, they admit that the wound caused
by rusty nail is one of the most fire.
quent causes of this disease.
The fact remains that the child was
nearly dead from the illness, every symp-
tom of which bespoke tetanus, and was
cured rapidly and completely by carbolic

being treated, and upon speaking to the
farmers about it, she says she received
insulting answers.
Last September she decided to regain
possession of her sons, and through the
assistance of another farmer, whose
heart was touched by her pathetic
story, an escape was effected, and the
boys brought back to Minneapolis.
''And they will not be able to get them

KEEP TAB On COWS.
Stale Dairy and Food Commission
Doing Good Work.

From fridays Daily.
The state dairy and food commission
is making a special inspection of 200
representative COWS of the state to as
certain what is the best kind of feed
and to determine under what conditions
the largest production of milk can be Sc
cured. The inspection was begun in the
spring and will continue throughout a
year Inspectors A. w. Trow and E. X.
Slater are at work in the southern part
of the state and they have inspected al
ready more than 100 cows.
The inspectors have half-pint bottles,
which are numbered consecutively. The
milk that each COW gives is weighed at
frequent intervals and composite sam
pies are placed in bottles. From this
an estimate is made of the amount of
milk each COW gives during the month,
as well as the butter fat and the actual
butter yield.
The inspectors take account also of the
kinds of food and the actual amount
given the COW, whether in the shape of
grain, fodder or grass from the pasture.
The cost of the feed, pasturage and care
lis reckoned for the month and at the
close balance is struck between the
receipts and expenditures, showing the
actual profit the dairyman derives from
each cow
A record is kept OF the cows breeding
her general conformation and the care
she receives. The weather conditions are
also observed for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the cause of shrinkage in the
production of milk Some dairymen say
that rainy weather causes shrinkage
others attribute it largely to hot south
winds.
'These inspections are made for the
purpose of ascertaining the best methods
of dairying," said Commissioner Neon
nell. "Cows should be inspected just
| the same as banks and business houses
are inspected. No dairyman can get the
best results unless he knows which OF
his cows are paying and which are run
| ming behind, just as banker strikes q
balance every day to determine his fnan
cial condition.
/ ''In this way the farmer will Learn
what kinds of feed produce the most
milk and how cows should be cared for
Dairymen will also find which of the
cows are the best from which to save
heifer calves. st. Paul Pioneer Press.

DOWN AN EMBANKMENT.
Wsgonette Party Has an Experiences
at Indian Lake.
From Fridays Daily.

A party of young men who were driv-
ing home along the Indian lake
road last night at about eleven o'clock
met with experience that they would
not care to have every evening. They
were in Phillips & Stevens wagonette
with Mr.. Stevens driving, when the team
left the road in the pitch darkness and
went down twelve foot embankment in
to the lake. The wagonette was damag-
ed, and the horses were held down by the
tongue and by being tangled up with
each other.
After much effort the horses were re-
leased from their dangerous position
where they were in imminent danger OF
drowning, and Mr.. Stevens rode to the
city on horseback and got assistance to
bring the wagomette and its passengers

MILLER AND FARREN READY FOR
TO-N[GHTS TWENTY-FIVE ROUND GO
Both Men Are in Perfect Trim and Fast FIGHT
Will Result

Seldom has such interest been dis
nlaved in the meeting of two men in
savannah as is manifested in the mill
70 take place between Herman Miller
ond Billy Farren at the Savannah
Athletic Club tonight. There are
many causes that tend to make the
20 one Of interest,
Perhaps chief among them is the dis
satisfaction expressed at the way in
which the last go between the men was
terminated. Neither side was satisfied,
and both expressed themselves as be-
Ing anxious to meet again. Both had
many ardent admirers who were loyal
to the chances of their champion.
Another cause for interest. is the adj
dition of the five rounds to the Gus
tomary twenty, which will make de-
cisive fight more certain. This was
done at the request of both men.
The decision to adopt the straight
Marquis of Queensbury rules in lieu of
the modified rules, relative to breaking
and getting away, makes the prospects
for a fast fight good, and will employ
all of the varied tactics of attack and
defense of both men. &sta,.
In the modified rules much of the
cleverness of a man is taken away from
him. 1t is always the close in fighting
that tests a mans skill and gameness
more than anything, and arouses the
public interest to a pitch of excitement
that no other tactics can do.
With his short physique, his mode
of holding himself, and his ability
to send in terrific punches at close
range, Ferren's admirers believe that
he has all the best of the substitu-
ton in rules. He is also particularly,
clever in getting away, and avoided
some awfully ugly and we'll planned
swings of Miller's in the last meeting
with the Baltimore boy. If .Farren
can do all of his fighting at close
range, with his usual mode of carry
ing his head well down between his
shoulders, he will be considerably more
effective than he was in his last meet
