Surgeons Knife Cures insanity.
The deepest interest has been arous-
ed In medical circles oyer the report
from the Bay View Insane asylum at
Baltimore over a novel and apparently
successful effort to cure a certain form
of insanity-that known to the profess
sion as dementia praecox-by cutting
away a portion of the thyroid gland.
In the first case operated upon the i'm
provement was very marked within
twentyfour hours, and Of the four
other cases treated three showed like
favorable result. The exception was a
case extremely far advanced.
Thrives on Peanut Diet.
DR.. r. ]. Allen of Aurora. H., re-
Gently finished food test extending
over sixty days. during which time he
lived upon peanuts and lemonade only.
He ends the test in fine physical condi-
ton. He now intends to start on q
sixty day test of bananas, which, COM
bined with peanuts, he considers the
ideal food. He says: eff people lived
on peanuts and bananas it would cost
them not more than 10 cents day. and
they would be saved all the trouble Of
cooking, all the expense of servants.

Successful Grange interchange.

Members of Denmark grange OF
Lewis county, n. Y, are working out
q plan which is succeeding and which
gives variety to their literary pro
grammes. This grange is made up of
members from three villages, Caster
land, Deer River and Denmark. Oc-
casionally these places take turns in
furnishing the grange programmes, and
this is found to create enthusiasm
among the members and just enough
strife to make it interesting. At re.
cent, meeting of Denmark grange the
members of Copenhagen grange fur
nished the literary programme, and
Denmark Will return the compliment
for their next banquet County Deputy
White believes that much good results
from this interchange of labor among
nearby oranges and it has tendency
to keep up a more lively interest and
that members become better acquaint
ed with each other. He also favora
the use Of printed programmes.
