Friends Of Kemper Hall Make
Rich Gifts for the Endow-
ment of the School
NEW IMPROVEMENTS CERTAIN
Nathan Allen and z. G. Simmons Lead
in Work With Gifts of $40, 500 and
$4,000, While Alumni and
Friends Give $4,000

The hearts of the Sisters of ST.
Mary, at Kemper Hall, were greatly
gladdened Sunday when there was
added to the offertory at the morning
chapel service gifts to the amount of
SIS, 100000, this having been sub.
scribed to pay Indebtedness incurred
in acquiring adjoining lands with
buildings and improvements for the
growing needs of this Furnishing
school. A few years since when the
new gymnasium was projected, z. G..
Simmons, who has been the leading
spirit in all public Improvements in
the city for more than fifty years
past, gave in excess of his original
generous subscription, that Kemper
Hall might be equipped for the
physical culture Of her pupils equal
to the best schools ia the country.
Kemper Hall was also fortunate in
securing the cooperation of Nathan
Allen, who was chosen trustee to
succeed the late Gilbert M. Simmons,
son of z. G. Simmons, whose sym
pathy and wise Judgment so greatly
aided the Sisters early work in build
ing no the institution. Mr.. Allen
brought to the school the provision
and sagacity which have characters
lied his own successful interests, and
from time to time has materially help
ed to bridge over exigencies which
have arisen in the management Of
the school. A little over a year ago,
although having resigned from active
work as trustee 70 Kemper Hall, Mr..
Allen generously offered 10 give half
of the $25, 200 needed to liquidate the
floating Indebtedness, which, in ex-
PLANTATION, had not been incurred for
current expenses, but for extra i'm
provements, new buildings and the
purchase of property. ea
To this sum has been added Sc, 600
by z. G. Simmons, who has stood
ready, since his early very generous
donation, to make up this amount
when the friends of Kemper Hall
should raise the required balance.
On Saturday the ohfertory at ST.
Peters Chapel, Kemper Hall, con-
tanned checks for $4,000 and SIP, 500,
from Mr.. Simmons aud Mr.. Allen, re.
spectively; besides Sc, 500 from friends
of the Sisters who have by their
liberality helped the cause of Chriss
tian educa ton In Kenosha and have
lightened the burdens of the earnest
community of women who are giving
their lives to one of the noblest works
on earth-the education and moral
training of American girls. I
Kemper Hall is a school of which
the whole state of Wisconsin may
well be proud. The history of its
material growth may be read in its
buildings. The scholastic work of
Kenper Hall is systematic, thorough
and modern. The school certificate
admits to the best Eastern Colleges
without examination; and prominent
educators, both in the East and in the
West, have said that Kemper Hall is
one of the best preparatory schools
in the country. That it has been
able to reach this position Of excel
lence among the schools in the land
is largely due to the generous help
and interest bestowed upon it by
z. G. Simmons and Nathan Allen. S.

MRS. GERLING IN CHICAGO
Police Officers May Stop the Search for
Woman Who EIoped With Bartender

Mrs. Edith Gerling, who eloped
from Kenosha two weeks ago today
with a bartender, Ed Gerling, who
was employed by her husband, is now
said to be in Chicago, but the police
are not making any effort to capture
her and it possible that the case will
be dropped.
Several letters from Mrs. Gerling
have been received in Kenosha and
the woman has given no reason for
her strange action in any of these let
ters. 1t is stated that II the letters
she asked that answers be sent "Gen.
eral Delivery, Chicago" One of the
letters received in Kenosha was for
the two children of Mrs. Gerling, aud
it is evident that she is still taking an
interest in the children.

quent changes of temperature, and the almost
incessant vacillating from winter to spring and
from spring back again to winter Try to keep
the house much possible at seventy degrees
temperature. If you keep the house too warm
at this time of the year cold is bound to fol-
low. Better let your family complain of being
a little chilly for few weeks than have them
all down sick.
The house should be aired regularly every day
for a couple of hours. Sleeping rooms should be
ventilated at night by raising the windows a
couple of inches from the bottom and by low
ering them a couple of inches from the top, in
order that the foul air which rises may have a
chance to escape and the pure air from outside
have chance TO get in.
A transom is a good thing to have in bed
room, because if you cannot stand much air
in your room as the process of ventilation just

suggested would admit, the foul air will still
have chance to escape The bedcothes should
be thoroughly aired and warmed each day.
Do not sleep in any clothing which has been
worn during the day. So long as the nights re-
main too cool for you to wear only your muslin
night dress, you should have two sets of under
garments one for wear during the day and the
other for wear at night. Each set while not in
use should be thoroughly aired,
Another frequent source of colds is the eating
of heavy meal followed by couple of hours
close work and the subsequent retiring into a
warm, badly ventilated room. The close work
prevents the proper digestion Of the meal, the
sleep is disturbed, and the cooling Of the warm
air towards morning produces chill, and a con-
sequent severe cold
In the spring you should be particularly care
full about sitting in draughts, especially when
overheated. The sudden checking of the per-
spiration results in more or less dangerous con-
geston, which may sometimes extend TO the
vital organs.
Do not sit in warm place with your outer
garments on. 1t may not be the conventional
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-24

thing to remove them, but then beauty is not
convention either. If you have been out in the
slush and wet before reaching place at which
you expect to spend ten minutes or SO, take off
your overshoes, for sitting around in wet over
shoes is every bit as conducive to a cold as 60
ing out without them is. Even dampness OF the
feet so slight as to be unperceved, will check
perspiration and bring on a cold.
On returning home after several hours spent
in heavy rain, remove all damp clothing as
quickly as possible, and soak the feet for about
ten minutes in hot mustard water. Get into bed
with plenty Of warm covers over you, and in
this way you will induce profuse preparation
which will ward off any approaching cold. When
the perspiration has subsidized, take care to avoid
draughts Hot lemonade and quinine will also
break up cold, A quantity Of whisky taken
just before retiring will also induce sufficient
perspiration to rid you of the cold.
Public speakers and singers find borax useful
in rdding them of hoarseness. Hold three or
four grains in the mouth about fifteen minutes
before you intend to use your voice, and let it
slowly dissolve. Another good remedy is a

change of season, which operate to bring about
cold in the spring. The principal of these is
her own careessness, The weather suddenly
gets warm, and she decides that the spring is
certainly here to stay, and so changes her un
dergaments, The next day it SHOWS, and then
milady is lucky if she is not down with grippe
Then there is the matter of overshoes. OF
course, it rains necessarily in the spring, and it
naturally gets very monotonous to be obliged to
wear the ugly things every day in the week. l
am not denying that for a moment. But l am
saying that eternal vigilance and constant self
denial are necessary 10 success, and that the girl
who makes the excuse that overshoes draw her
feet or that they make her feet cold, or that
they make her feet look big, is certainly going
to pay the penalty of red nose and pair Of
bleary eyes. The end justifes the means, you
know, and If oyershoes going to lead you

This startling statement is made by Professor
and Madame Zancig the couple whose extraor
dinary thoughtreading abilities have recently
startled all England. Madame Zancig has even
been able to write down sentences from book
which her husband reading in another room.
Exhaustive scientific tests of this thought-trans-
ference have been arranged. Many experts have
been interviewed on the extraordinary feats ac-
compished by the Zancigs. Sir Oliver Lodge
says:
"For my part L am inclined to think that the
performance is the result of a trick" But he
confesses that the results are most striking and
is not unwilling to aid in testing them Mr.. F.
L. Rawson, the great authority on phychical re-
search when questioned the thought-transfer-
ence between Professor and Madame Zancig, said
"No, do not think it is trick. OF course it
is wonderful show to those who do not under
stand the working of the human mind"
INTERPRETING A THOUGHT MESSAGE.
"Is it possible to interfere with the mental
telepathy between Mr.. and Mrs. Zancig?" Mr.
Rawson was asked.
Yes, it is perfectly possible to prevent one
person reading the thoughts of another. From
experience L am quite sure that it is possible to
interrupt the Zancigs' performance
Distance makes no difference to mental telcg
raphy," said Mr. Rawson. "Intervening sub
stances, such as mountains oceans or walls would
in no way impede its action. AS far as [ can
tell, the speed of mental teegraphy is much too
rapid to measure. Thousands of miles are ira.
versed instantly, it being much quicker than wire
less telegraphy. 1t is quite possible to communi-
cate with person many miles distant and re-
ceive reply in other words, to have mental
conversation. If Mr. Zancig wished, believe he
could stand in Trafalgar Square and speak to his
wife in the Broadway, New York"
Gould anyone by practicing become his own
telegraph of6ce?"
No 1t requires a special kind of mind and
am sorry for those who possess this power. for
it is likely to cause unhappiness But there is
right method of working, whereby one can obtain
valuable information. This method improves the
mind, but the wronk way would cause insanity"
Mr. Rawson then explained an interesting in
cident which happened some years ago in the
early stages of his Investigations
TRANSMITTING \ THOUGHT IMPRESSION
"Once, when transmitting picture to NV wife
peculiar thing happened. | drew triangle with
circle inside, and the picture was distorted
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-24

The mental diagram was received with circle
outside and the triangle in the centre"
Professor and Madame Zancig, when interview
ed, gave important facts regarding their
wonderful powers.
How it is done? Well, it is very difficult to
describe" said Professor Zancg. Gone, the
transmitter, has to concentrate hi7 thoughts on
the message he desires to send, If it is a sentence
each letter must be mentally spet, but if it is
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-24

object the readers thoughts must simply be con-
centrated on the name of the object"
Madame Zancig, when questioned as to how
she receives her husbands messages, explained as
follows Il open my mind, and then suddenly
tn message or picture goes by like flash. If I
do not catch it, it passes, and have to try again
1t is possible to send messages at the rate of 200
letters in fifteen minutes, or a picture or object
like flash"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-24

Zancig then left the room and after making sure
that more than wall separated her from her
husband, two words were written on the back OF
an envelope. Professor Zancig, to let his wife
know the message was coming, called loudly the
word "Try."
Almost instantly, Madame Zancig, in pretty
foreign accent, repeated the words.
In the current issue of the Review of Reviews
Mr.. w. T. Stead says:
TWO MINDS IN HARMONY.
"Niy experience has, however, suf6ced to prove
TO me that, providing that two minds are in
tune. mind can transmit thought to mind in
simultaneously over distances of hundreds and
thousands of miles. There are plenty of errors
in transmission, flaws and imperfections in the
telepathic process.
"After seeing the Zancigs at the Alhambra,
called upon them by invitation at their own
rooms and subsequently invited them to lunch at
nv house. On each of the two occasions on
which / experimental with them in private the
results were the same as those to be witnessed on
other occasions. The only difference was that at
the experiments in private l had ample oppor-
tunity to impose conditions which rendered fraud
OF trickery impossible.
"a mental message has already been sent
distance of 1900 miles. Mr., Andrew Mcconnell,
Of Atlanta, Ca, has frequently conversed by
mental telepathy with Miss Mabel Ray, when
twelve hundred miles has separated them. Mr..
wilkinson, superintendent of the blind asylum
At Old Trafford declares he has taught blind
and deaf mute by telepathy. 1t is acknowledged
that the disaster of Colenso was freely talked

before the message came by telegraph"

headache, difficulty in breathing, and conse-
quent fit of blues. She is burden to herself
and to everybody who is so ilfated as to come
in contact with her.
Women are more susceptible TO colds than
men. This may be due to the fact that the
masculine sex is more used to tramping around
in all kinds of weather. or II may be because
they are naturally of stronger constitution
than their sisters Anyway. it seems to- be a
foregone conclusion that woman will take cold

WARRINGTON, July A.-In a statement
issued today, Acting Secretary of the In
terror Woodruff says prompt action will be
taken wherever cases OF Illegal fencing of
public lands are discovered, but that In
spectors and special agents are especially
occupied this summer with preventing
fraudulent requirement OF public land. The
statement follows:
MY attention has been called to articles
in several of the western papers to the
effect that the Department OF the Interior
will not prosecute any illegal fencers this
year. It would be unfortunate that such
an idea should get abroad. because It is not
true and II any depended upon it, they
might get into serious trouble. I might
explain that the special agent force of
the general land office and the special in
spectors OF the Department Of the Interior
will be especially occupied during this
summer with the more paramount and i'm
mediate duty OF protecting the public land
from being acquired fraudulently contrary
to law. For that reason few of them can
be detailed to search specifically for illegal
fencing"
