BIT OF SWITZERLAND IN IOWA
Rugged Beauty of n Home on the
Bluffs of the Mississippi.

Bluffs of the Mfssissippi.
One of the most picturesque spots In
the vicinity Of Burlington, and proba-
bly, in all Iowa and the Mississippi val
ley is the Scholer home, says the Bur
lington Correspondent Of the Des
Moines Register. 1t Is known far and
wide as the "Swiss chalet" and is in
fact a perfectly constructed Swiss
dwelling place. In every detail the
idea is carried out in the unique dwell
Ing, not only on the exterior but with
In, where those who have visited Swift
zerland and been entertained In the
homes of that country may see that
nlences as in the original structures
among the Alps.
Mr. Scholer, who was born in Swift
zerland, and received good education
in the institutions of that country. came
to Burlington fifty-three years ago. and
bringing with him an intense affection
Tor the rugged fatherland sought to
maintain the inspiration in his sur
roundings. He selected one of the most
rugged portions of land just south of
burlington at that time, and on the
steep side, overlooking the broad ex.
panse of the Mississippi River, he erect
ed the Swiss home. He did not dis
turb the wild surroundings of the place
except to tidy it up in the good old
Swiss way, and to train some vines
around the house.
To-day it presents the same rugged
and natural beauty that attracted the
eye Of the mountain climber fifty-three
years ago, and is one Of the pleasantest
views to be obtained from the brow of
Crapo Park. Indeed, from the most
frequented spots in the park this beau
tiful old home appears like a picture
Of Switzerland, with the sweep of the
river beyond appearing as one of the
beautiful Swiss lakes. Mr.. Scholer died
the other day full Of years and good
works and possessing the regard of all
those who knew him. He left his pic
turesque home to his sons, and it will
long remain as one Of the attractive
features of this locality.

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri.
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
IAN Medical Association has become
so pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors of
the Regular or Allopathic school, OF
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
sale of so-called Patent" medicines.
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelli-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed
hope that larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In its annual
report this Committee said; ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly if the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, a larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$1,000 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their affiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and it's total assets are $29l,-
567.S9. Its liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21 ,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about 100000 a year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compeA
all of the people of the United States
to pay a doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

Patron Saint of Lawyers.

This story is told at the expense of
Francis III. T. Maxwell, a well-known
lawyer. The members of the Taunton,
Mass, Bar association thought they
ought to have patron saint, but after
much wrangling they could not hit up
on any particular saint.
Finally a committee, of which Mr..
Maxwell was a member, was appoint
ed to make a selection. They made
a trip to New York. and there visited
gallery where most of the saints were
carved in marble. 1t was decided to
leave the selection to Mr.. Maxwell,

his hand on one in a group of two.

Deaths from X-Rays.

The death OF DR.. Weigel surgeon
OF Rochester, from a disease due to
the constant use Of the X-rays makes
the fourth who has lost his life from
this cause, says the Chistian Advo-

The others were an assistant OF

and a woman Of San Francisco named

gel since 1904, when his right hand
and all but the thumb and a finger
OF the left hand were removed, there
had been four operations in trying
to save his life. The first removed
a part OF the right shoulder; then
part of the muscles covering the right
breast.

cause of death, the disease being I'M
