DENY CANCER
IS INFECTIOUS
Harvard Scientists Combat the
French Theory.

BOSTON, Sept. 18.-Combating the
theory of French scientists that can
Ger is infectious, two experts of the
Harvard Medical School, who have
made special study of the subject, de-
clare that cancer is not readily COM
municated from one human being to
another.
DR.. Edward Hall Nichols, former
head of the Harvard Cancer Commits
sion, says:
'The fact that three or four families
living in the same house are affected
with cancer seems to me to be mere
coincidence and to prove nothing.
Cancer is a very common disease and
is certainly not contagious or infec-
tious"
Under Dr. E. E. Tyzzer and DR..
Nichols, the Harvard cancer commits
sion has made hundreds of expert
ments on various animals, but all with
the same result.
DR., Tyzzer said of the Paris exper-
iments:
Cancer and cancerous diseases
have puzzled the physicians of the
whole world for generations. For
many years specialists have been
studying it in all OF its forms and IN
der all conditions and when one
physician makes some experiment and
gets what he believes Is a new re-
suit, he publishes his theories with
the common result that the others
quickly study his findings and usually
soon prove that he has demonstrated
nothing new"

SCIENCE PREVENTS Badness.
The Fatal Germ and Its Remedy New
Facts of Science.


1t is the rarest thing in the world for
a man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald if he will use Newbro's Herpi-
eide, the new scalp antiseptic. Herpi-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
off at the root; and cleans the scalp of
dandruff and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block, Butte, Mont, was en-
tirely bald. In less than a month Herpi-
eide had removed the enemies of hair
growth, and nature did it's work by COW

MACHINISTS' new
WAGE SCHEDULE

Copies of new schedule for
machinists employed on the Hill
lines have been received in this
city. The scale provides for a g.
hour day. IT expenses are to be
reduced it must be by reducing
hours from hours per day to 8
hours per day for days each
week. All holidays must be paid
for at overtime rates, noon hour be-
ing stated as overtime.
West of Mandan the machinists
will receive AZ cents per hour, east
Of that point 40 cents. Apprentices
will receive II cents per hour for
the first year and will be raised
each year untn in the fourth year
they will receive % cents per
hour.
Apprentices when employed must
be not less than 16 years Of age
and not over Il. They must be in
structed in all branches Of the trade
and must not be employed for over
4 months on any machine. One
apprentice may be employed for
each shop and 1 additional appren-
tice for every 5 machinists. APP
prentices will not be allowed to
work overtime
The new scale also provides for
an investigation, if desired, for dis
charge of men, and if found that
any man has been unjustly dealt
with he must be reinstated and
given full time while out of en-
ployment.
Machinists whose long and faith
full services entities them to special
consideration will be given prefer
ence to such light work as they are
able to handle.
The men must, as far as possible,

FOOD TRUSTEXTORTS
ENORMOUS TRIBUTE

or 5. This raise is due to the thread
trust.
There is magnificent industry
coming up in the United States in
canning and preserving vegetables
and fruit; an industry protected by
a high tariff and founded on child
and women labor. This industry is
doing, in part, what the cold stor.
age trust has done. 1t absorbs the
fresh vegetables and fruit during
the season, and raises their prices
to the permanent all-the-year-round
price Of canned goods. This makes
fresh vegetables higher, the price
this season becoming prohibitive
for the very poor.
This is tarff-nutured trust (if
1t is a trust). In any case it is a
tariff-nurtured industry.
Among other trusts to which the
poor man pays tribute are the coal
trust, oil trust, the grain elevator
trust Gts effect ON the price of
wheat bread, the sugar trust. and
some local trust in pubic utilities
like street railway, gas or water.
Finally there are the great
trusts which levy an indirect tax
on practically everything that en-
tiers into a poor mans problem of
living: Railway trust and allied
manufacturing interests which CO.
operate to keep up unjust tariff
laws. Every cent that is eXacted
by railroad in extortionate freight
rateS-and over capitalization
means extortionate rates-is ulti-
mately paid by the consumer. And
every cent that the tariff adds to
the price of trust-monopolized prod
ucts is an increase to the burden
of the man who does nothing but
consume.
The remedy? 1t is plain Either
the trust must be controlled or it
must be destroyed. The alternative
is industrial feudalism.
