POSITIVE CURE FOR LEPResY.

II seems that there Is In Louisiana
some concern over the spread Of lep-
rosy. a recent outbreak Is reported,
several centers of infection are men
toned. and the carrying of the disease
to hitherto non-infected points is re-
ported. Louisiana has a State Home
for Lepers, at which scientific inyesti-
cations and experiments have been
pursued with view to finding a cure
for leprosy and at length 1t IS an
nounced that a positive and absolute
cure has been found.
Beginning as far back as 1894, a syS-
tenn of treatment was begun, which is
claimed to have turned out complete
success. II comprises the administer
ing of ichthyol "a ed-brown sirupy
liquid obtained in the dry diStillation Of
bituminous minerals containing fossil
fish. Chlorate of potash, strychnlne,
salicylate of soda, chaulmoogra oil,
arsenic. and some other ingredients.
The chaumoogra (gynocardia odorata)
is an East Indian tree of the Indian
plum family Bixineae), with a succu-
lent fruit yielding fixed oil which has
long been used In the treatment Of lep-
rosy. The best results have come from
the treatment with chaulmoogra oil
and strychnine; the three patients dis
charged cured all followed that treat
ment thoroughly.
The first case cured was a boy aged
thirteen, admitted to the home In Oc-
tober, 1902, and discharged December T.
1904. The second was a woman, aged
fifty. admitted August 10, 1900, and dis
charged December 10, 1906, cured. The
third was a woman aged thirty. admit

wholesome and pure, and the patient

MODERATION IN EXERCISE

Detroit Free Press
II Is better to be lazy than dead and
II is probably just as comfortable. For
obvious reasons the prescription TO take
moderate exercise" is misleading and
unsatisfactory. Most of us are constl-
tutionally incapable Of exercising mod
erately. We begin violently and end
quickly. And what is moderate exer-
cise"2 Ore philosopher who tried Ii
for twenty years arrived at this con-
clusion: Keep a pair of Indian clubs
In your bedroom. Look at them fire.
ouently Exercise by their sugges-
tion. This may be a Christian Sci
ence method, but 1t has the merit OF
moderation. IT Is the same as to walk
ing. Smell the morning; look down the
long way that separates you from your
business. Then take a car.

MOUNTAIN PATH MAKING.

New York World,
Consul Liefeld sends from Baden In
the beautiful Black Forest some details
about German mountaineering clubs
which should prove suggestive to
American lovers Of outdoor life.
There are fifty-four mountain clubs in
Germany, with 142.603 members. The
Swablan Alpine club has $4,000 MEN,
bers. the Harz club 1900, the Baden
Black Forest club 10,710, with annual
dues of SIPS. The members are busi-
ness men. tradesmen and hotelkeepers,
as we'll as actual climbers. In econom-
ical Germany $4,000 a year will do a
good deal toward cutting paths, erect
ing signboards and publishing maps.
There ought to be many local organ
izations In this country after this excel
lent German model.

DECORATION OF GRAVES.

Lehi Banner.
Newspaper reports from all parts Of
the State go to show the keen interest
that is being manifested in the observ-
ance OF Decoration day. The attention
paid to cemeteries last week far sur
passed anything of previous record.
The evergrowing cities of the dead
were visited by thousands of the living
who had come with floral offerings to
pay tribute TO the memory OF loved
ones. He whose faith or love
is sincere Will find In the custom a re-
lief in working out, symbolically, the
unselfsh motives of the heart The
thought OF future meeting Is encour-
aged and strengthened by every token
of love, and thus the temporary sepa-
ration Is made easier 10 bear.

TRIAL BY ORDEAL.
New York Tribune.

NNW lprN ITIDUDt.
In the Sinai peninsula trial by ordeal
is still practiced. Lord Cromer in his
recent report on Egypt gives an ac-
count Of the system. In all criminal
cases where no witnesses are forthcom-
ing, the Judge. "El Mabashaa," tests
the suspected person by fire. by water
or by dream. In the first the Judge
places an iron pan In the fire until It
is red hot, and gives 1t TO the accused
to touch three times with his tongue. II
marks OF burning are shown OH the
tongue the accused is pronounced
guilty. The theory. apparently, is that
II he Is not guilty the moisture on the
tongue prevents it from being burned;
II guilty. his tongue would dry up from
fear of being discovered.

LESSON OF A RUNAWAY CALF.

One day last week we saw cloud Of
dust sweeping past our office. Mixed
with the dust was a good-sized calf
running at splendid speed, and on
horseback Col. Dullng was coming a
rattling good second. The calf had
broken away from herd OF cattle and
wanted to go home. Mr., Duling wanted
to head it off and In time he did. The
Incident furnished us with the thought
that the man who does the most COM
