WILL TRY TO SECURE
HOME FOR INCURABLES

Another effort will be made by the
board of charities and corrections to Sc
cure an appropriation for an asylum for
incurabales.. The matter was brought
to the attention of the board yesterday
by a delegation from the Associated
Charities and the South Side conference
of Friendly Visitors. They represented
that there were a number of paralytics
and other helpless people who were en-.
tirely without means, and asked if
something could not be done with them.
The city hospital will not take these
cases, for they are incurable and medi-
cal attention will not avail. The Door
farm will not take them, as they REQUIRE
special attention and there are not
enough attendants for this purpose.
Some years ago the board of tax levy
provided funds for ward for incur
ables, but it was deemed insufficient
and the board used the money for 9TH
er much needed improvements.
No action was taken on the PROPOSE
tion of reducing the salaries of appren.
tice nurses at the city hospital from
$40 to So per month on account Of the
absence of City Physician E. II. Beck,

the question, Commissioner Orville

home. Mrs. Sweat gave tho matter 1t,
tie attention at first, as it was the
third time he had walked out since
Nov. /, but when. the family exchequer
got SO low that she had to burn the
straw in the mattresses to keep herself
and the five children from freezing last
Sunday night, she looked upon the
matter in a more serious light.
The Humane society is keeping the
family supplied with necessaries, but if
the. husband and father does not re-
turn the three older children will have
to go to their brother at Osakis, and
Mrs. Sweat will probably have to re-.
turn to that place and seek assistance
from her family. She is anxious to
avoid the breaking up Of her family,
and is willing to forgive and try to for
get if Sweat comessback soon. -~'.
-Mss: Sweat was formerly Mrs. Frye
and when she married her present hus-
band she had considerable property,
which, she says, has been dissipated in

four sons by her former husband are

book form it would make a
pretty big library. But after
all there has been little I'M
provement over the old treat
ment Of rest, fresh air, sun

The latter supplies nourish-
ment that cannot be secured
in any other way, and after
all, nourishment is what the
consumptive needs first.
A gain in weight, however
slight, is a long step toward
Improvement. If there is the

Emulsion will enable the pa

osrmany's View Of lts New Tariff.
The following extract from the Wash
ington Star will demonstrate clearly
the view held in Germany as to wheth-
er the new German tariff, to go into ef-
feet in March, will put up the price of
American products to German con-
sumers. It demonstrates beyond all
question that it will put up the price
to the German consumer, thereby re-
ducing the amount he will consume
from this country The Star says:
There having been considerable criticism
OF Secretary Wilson In some Of the east
ern papers owing to his request on con-
gress for an emergency appropriation Of
NSS,ooo for microscopists for the depart
ment OF agriculture, he was asked by the
Star today for the facts In the case. He
said, In part:
The whole emergency consists in the
fact that the German importers want to
get in about s50,O00,000 worth Of American
meat products. principally pork, ahead Of

AN ALLEGED CROP SCANDAL.
immense Discrepancy In Crop Report
Said to BE Shown.

Said to Be Shown.
Official figures regarding the lowe
corn crop disclose discrepancy sim
liar to that which eliminated in the
cotton scandal in connection with the
department of Secretary Wilson some
months ago.
lowa's corn crop during the past
year was 40,000,00O bushels less. &C.
cording to the government crop re.
port, prepared by Hon. John Cownie
OF Des Moines. than that reported by
director j. e. Sage of the Iowa crop
bureau, an official also of the national
department of agriculture.
Mr.. Sage gives Iowa total of 346,-
b77,9SS bushels, while the government
report places the total at 3O5.7s8 900
bushels.
Easing his report on the observation
OF 1900 subordinates throughout the
state, Director Sage gives the average
yield of Iowa at 37.2 bushels per acre.
while the government report places
the yield at 34.S bushels.
But the Widest difference is in the
reported acreage. Mr.. Sage, basing
MS figures upon reports of assessors,
says the acreage is 9,542.956 The
government report ,tof Mr. Cownie,
places the acreage at 8,787,OO0
A mild sensation in grain circles,
particularly among the spectators,
was created by discrepancy Of TO- |
100000 in the report regarding Iowa
last year. It is twice as bad this i
year. Those who have studied the ;
situation, particularly the SPECTATORS,
believe Mr.. Sage's figures to be the
more accurate. /

A Great Producer Of Wealth.

these words:
The strain between natural and artificial

such are to be expected. These predic-
kteps, however, are usually inspired by
self interest on the part Of large holders
who still have stocks to sell or are en-
gagged in important negotiations which
would be facilitated by rising maIket
They are usually based, moreover, on
conditions which have been amply dis
counted, such as large earnings Of the
railroads and especially Of the industrials,
which, through high prices and large
volume OF business, are unqueSttonably
making very unusual profits. On the other
hand, natural conditions which for some
time have been kept out Of view are work.
Ing with increased force toward reaction,
Chief Of these influences is the money
market. It is quite evident that monetary
supplies the world over are none too large
for present extraordinary requirements,
and this In spite of the great increase in
the gold supply and other forms Of cur
ferlcy. Firmer rates than usual have pre-
vailed IN all international money markets,
but at New York the advances have been
extreme for two reasons-flrst, the In
elasticity of our currency system. which
prevents either expansion or contraction
according to requirements, and, second,
the highly artificial manipulations of
those who control the local money market.
