GRABS NOSE; SAVES LIFE.
Boy Clings to Bulls N0strils to Pre-.
vent Being Crushed.

Special to The Evening Times.
Wahpeton, n. D., Aug. 16.-The 49,
year-old son of Joe Inge was almost
hunted to death by a savage bull
which attacked him while he was
crossing the pasture. The boy was
knocked down. hunted and pitched
about and undoubtedly would have
been killed had not another younger
brother attacked the animal with a
pitchfork.
When the younger brother attacked
the bull his brother was on the ground
but had his fingers locked firmly in the
bulls nostrils. The enraged animal
was tearing about the field, dragging
the boy with it. His seizure of the
bulls nostrils probably saved his life,
though the timely appearance Of his
brother with the pitchfork finally
caused the animal to desist and run
away.
The boy was taken to the Abercrom-
bic hospital, where it was found that
several ribs had been broken, his
chest badly wounded and he was other.
wise terribly injured. The bull had
been dehorned or the boy might have
been gored to death.

TO ESCAPE ODIUM.
General MERCER, Dreyfus' Greatest
Foe, Leaves Home In France.

General Mercier, Dreyfus' Greatest
Foe, Leaves Home in France.
Annotated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
Paris, Aug. 16.-Once more the
greatest drama of modern times has
supplied a change of scene.
General Mercier, who was among
those who bounded Dreyfus to DEVILS
Isle, has left France of England.
The French newspapers state that
he has fled from Paris to escape the
odium that is now cast on him; that
his position in the senate is impossible
to maintain, and that, while owing to
the amnesty he can not be made to
suffer for his action in the Dreyfus
case, his career in French public life
is at an end-thus making another in
the long list of the Dreyfus victims.
The flight of Mercier was the direct
result of remarkable open letter
from M. Castor Merry defending his ST.
lence. He declared that the generals
letters were mere subterfuge, and
demanded that the full story of the
tragic circumstances under which the
treason was discovered, with all the
dates, and the most minute details,
should at once be made public.
There was, he claimed, no fear of
war with Germany now, and the his
tory of the night at the Elysee when
war with Germany was dreaded must
be related, whatever the consequences
of this avowal might be. Passionate
ly he concluded:
For the last time, speak, general!
Public esteem still allows you credit
for one day. Tomorrow it will be
too late"
Still General Mercier kept silence.
Tomorrow it was too late.
He was openly denounced in the
French senate and chamber, and being
unwilling or unable to defend himself
left France for England so secretly
that it was claimed that he stole away.
1t was at first claimed that he was
away on vacation, but it Is now de-
clared his exile Is permanent.

v. R. c. MEETS
IN CONVENTION
At Minneapolis Jointly With
the G. A. R.-President's
Address.
A CONTEST on FOR PRESIDENCY

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 16.-The
annual convention of the Women's Re-
lief Corps met at 10 o'clock this morn
ing in Wesley NJ. E. church, Mrs. Pres
ident Adams of Nebraska presiding.
The exercises were opened with SAL
utes, flag drills and tableaux in the
curriculum of patriotic teaching. The
opening session was devoted to well
come addresses, responses and to the
hearing of the annual reports of the
national officers.
The total membership at the pres
ent time, according to the reports, is
126,146. The total number of corps
is 2,341. The amount of cash expend-
ed in relief during the year was $685.
675. One thousand dollars was ex-
pended for the Southern Memorial
fund, and $5,332 was donated to the
San Francisco sufferers. The total
organization now exceeds $4,000 900.
Regarding the progress of patriotic
institution, the president, in her an
nual address, said:
"All through the year from every
department have come good tidings of
the patriotic work. The demand for
patriotic literature and flags far sur
passes our limit of expenditures, and
in the south l find great opportunities,
and, despite certain unpleasant cir
cumstances, am greatly encouraged
by the friendly spirit of loyalty found
in many sections. That the heart of
the new south is throbbing with right
impulses is shown by the desire to
keep step with the progress of the
times in educational matters. In con-
nection with this, l wish to speak of
the lack of schools in the mountainous
regions where the children of those
peculiar people should be taught those
branches which would enable them to
be intelligent, respected citizens, and
where they might also learn to rev.
erence old glory and to know what
1t represents. During the civil war
these mountaineers were the friends
OF our boys In blue and today their
children are calling to us to release
them from the bondage of ignorance.
Shall we turn deaf ear to their
piteous appeal?"
A spirited contest is on for the pres
idency Of the Women's Relief Corps.
The leading candidates are Mrs. Mary
L. Gilman of Massachusetts, Mrs.
Clara r. Sparklin of Missouri, and
Mrs. Kate E. Jones of New York.
The Ladies of the G. A. R. met in
the First Baptist church this morning,
with the president, Mrs. Ruth E. Foote
of Denver, in the chair. The opening
session was also devoted to hearing
annual reports, which showed in
creased membership and good condi-
lions generally.

FOOD AND DRINK IN SUMNER.
Do Not Drink Too Much, Eat Sparlng.
IL of Animal Food.

To keep the skin in . proper condi.
ton during the varying seasons of the
year is always matter of great difii-
culty-that is to say. as far as de-
gree Of dryness Of moistness Is con-
cerned. To secure the happy medium
is most peoples ambition. have on
previous occasions discussed the
causes and prevention of excessive
perspiration, but at this time Of year,
when all the atmospheric and possible
causes are present for the production
Of over-activity of the sweat glands, it
may not be inappropriate to repeat
what have said before. Excessive &C.
tivity of these glands in the hot
weather Is Natures method of reduc-
ing the bodily temperature, and,
further, within limits, the secretion Of
sweat is to be, If not encouraged, at
least accepted as inevitable. The only
question, therefore, that need be con-
sidered is how to restrict the amount
within reasonable points. The most
obvious means of preventing an ex-
cessive secretion of water on the skin
is to restrict the actual intake of fluid
into the body. In hot weather most
people drink great deal more than
they do on other occasions, and it is
quite certain that the more We drink
the greater the thirst, and consequent
ly there is tendency for the amount
to increase in somewhat alarming
ratio.
In haf rfrin to II Mt IN
best way to prevent thirst is to re-
strict the intake of fluid to a very con-
siderable degree. This is certainly q
very disagreeable form of moral self
discipline in the first instance, but af-
ter the initial discomforts have been
overcome, the reward is quite COM
mensurate with the trouble taken.
gard to the amount of fluid actually
taken. there can be no doubt whatso-
ever that alcoholic beverages of every
kind have far more potent influences
on the production of sweat than have
simple teetotal or non-alcoholic bever-
ages, such as lemonade or diluted lime
Juice.

huence. for by its combustion within
the body there is a corresponding pro-
duction of heat which has to be dis
sipated in some way or other. A very
restricted diet should therefore always
be enjoined in hot weather. Vege-
tables and fruit, which consist for the
most part of water and contain but
little combustible material, are OBJ
viously adapted to the conditions of
high atmospheric temperatures. AMI
NAL food, eggs, butter, oils, and fats
Of all kinds, inasmuch as their COM
bustion is effected with the produc-
ton of much heat, should be avoided
as far as possible.
Exercise, although it must be ad-
mitted that 1t is temporarily accompa-
MED by the production of free perspi-
ration, is Of all means the best for
producing subsequent lowering of
the bodily temperature and for limit.

that the only course to take was to Pc

1t was decided, however, that such
