St. Paul, Minnesota.
sFor some time had suffered with
a cancer on the lower lip, on the right

but for the last few months it grew
quite rapidly and I knew that to sage

Specialist O'Keefe, /, with my family,
came to ST.. Paul and called on the
Specialist. After he had examined nv
lip he told me that the only thing to
do in order to save my lip was to COM

first he would give me the names and

eating, I was firmly convinced that the
best thing for me to do was to place
myself under his care and take his
treatment. So, In my sixty-ffth year,
on the 25th day Of July, 1904, I COM

lip was partly healed before left his

Gets Back Pension.

A st. Paul business man is likely to
get $4,000 In back pension money thru
the effort Of the ad1utant generals de-
partment. He secured pension of
$3.50 a month in 1864, and drew it for
fifteen years, when he ceased to sign
vouchers. being Disguised with the
abuses Of the system and drawing q
good salary himself. Recently he de-
cided to take advantage Of the pension
once more because of approaching old
age. It seems likely that he will be al
allowed the full amount he has failed to
draw for twenty-five years, and $16

Cancer Not Infectious.

Further study and report Of the cancer
Investigation shows little encouragement
beyond the fact that there is no danger
Of Infection. false diagnosis, unhap-
PLY, Is the explanation Of most Of the
reported cures. Thus the cancer research
institution examined this year 1,7S6 cases
which the medical faculty had pronounced
to be cancer and found that 1877 were mis-
taken cases, altho there was every evil
dence Of the disease according to the
tests available to ordinary physicians
The presence of the disease in the re-
hottest corners Of the earth and among
all vertebrate animals tends to show that
diet and the methods Of modern life do
not account for the disease. While the
committee Is strongly Of the opinion that
the apparent increase Of the scourge is
due to closer and truer diagnosis, the only
practical advice offered as the result of
the investigation thus far Is that all
growths which are even possibly cancer
GUS should be removed by an operation
without delay.
The removal Of the parasite furnishes
the only hope Of a cure, and every day 1t
Is suffered to remain increases the prob
ability Of its passage into some other por-
tion Of the body.

PHTHISIS vs..
TUBERCULOSIS
ONE is SAID TO BE FATAL, THE
~ ... OTHER NOT.
Discoveries Made by Professor
schroen of Naples as the Result
of Sixteen Years Study of the
Microbes Demonstrates Striking
Difference in These Diseases.

Observation-Disclosures attention has been
directed to the distinct advances In the
Investigation Of the greatest scourges or
humanity, consumption and cancer, which
have been chronicled. Thus the discoV-
cries of Professor Schroen Of Naples, as
the result Of sixteen years study OF the
mtcrobe Of phthisis. are Of far greater
Importance than DIR. Koch's tnvest1ga-
tions. He has been able to show by means
of 10000 micro Photographic negatives
and other evidences that phthfs1s and tu-
berculosis are two entirely distinct dis
eases. The we'll known Koch bacillus is
comparatively harmless. The phth1sls
1nicrobe is in the form of spiral or
twisted threads. 1t is a parasite Of enor-
nous volume, rapid extension and I'M
heard-of Virulence. Professor Schroen
demonstrates not only the germ ITSELF
but its development down to the fourth
secretive produce, which Is a PRISM
while that Of tuberculosis is rhomb. 1t
was likewise discovered by him that it Is
possible by the detection Of the latter in
expectoration to diagnose a tubercular dis
ease before the appearance of Koch's
bacillus. The new phthisis microbe is Of
q nature heretofore unknown. In tuber-
culosis the microbe can remain latent for
years and Is relatively durable, while
DhthiSiS is fatal.

FIRE AT THE WORLDS FAIR
The American Cafe In the Jerusalem
Concession Destroyed - Other
Structures in Danger.

st. Louis, July 6.-Fire broke out at
2:20 a. m Tuesday, in the American
cafe in the Jerusalem concession at
the Worlds fair grounds.
The fire started in the kitchen of the
cafe, and for more than an hour threat
ened Festival hall, the west pavilion
and the entire Jerusalem exhibit.
A wind from the west carried the
sparks to the large structures on the
side OF Art hill, and watchmen with
the iremen on the roofs had a hard
battle in preventing a general confia-
grafton.
Hale's Fire Fighters and the Worlds
fair fire department responded very
promptly, and their quick service con-
fined the blaze TO the American cafe.
The loss will amount to about SIS, 600
The generous soaking everything got
by Monday afternoon and evenings
rains aided materially in preventing
the spreao of the flames.

Blind Tigers Routed.

Having exhausted all legal means
of Kidding themselves of blind tigers,
citizens of Junction City recently held
a mass meeting and went in a body
to the alleged joints and destroyed all
the liquor they found. The illegal
sellers Of liquor were driven out of
Junction City through law enforce
ment some time ago. but the offenders
moved just across the line into Lou
isiana, erected a few cheap buildings.
and began business on a more extern
sive scale AS they were located only
a short distance from Junction City,
and as the officers of that commun-
ity had no jurisdiction, the offenders
became a greater menace than when
doing business where they could at
least be kept in check. The com
mittee of citizens. after destroying
all the liquors they found. gave the
violators to understand that it would
not be good for their health for them
to attempt to continue in the business
in the future.

Wilson Act Unconstitutional.

The supreme cout last week han.
ded down a decision in the famous
Wilson anti-gamblng act of 1901.
holding 1t to be unconstitutional. The
question raised in the case was that
the act was not properly passed. for
the reason that the bill as passed by
the house was materially different
from that passed by the senate. When
the bill was called for. at the final
vote on its passage Ii could not be
found. Considerable excitement was
aroused over the incident, there be-
ing considerable opposition to the bill

for the house. and the lowest pen.
atty of $500 as fixed by the senate

prepared for the house. This draft of
the bill was passed without amend

prescribed formalities The law re-
quires that the identical bill passed
