But the Vast Majority of Those At
hicted RecOver.
A skilled surgeon and physician who
executes the pOst-mortems at we'll
known infirmary in the north of Eng
lang says that recoveries from tuber-
culosis consumption are far more COM
mon than most persons believe. He
writes
From post-mOrtems upon cases
dying in the hospital from variety of
conditions, and which have shown dur
ing life no evidence of tubercular in
lection, l would compute the number
of cases of cured tubercle at so per
cent of the total post-mOrtems. In
forming this computation 1 altogether
disregard cicatrices found in lungs and
include only gaseous calcareous nodules
which are evidently of considerable
age This, together with the chemical
fact that the patients have during life
shown no sign of phythisis and have
died from some entirely independent
disease. leads one to assume, and
think Justly. that these are cases of
cured tubercle, and, further, that tuber-
culin infection in a human subject is
far more common than has been pre-
yiously estimated"

DANGER IN STRAWBERRIES.

Luscious Fruit Accused of PrOduc-
ing Bad Temper and Disease.
The strawberry must 90, at least so
say the hygienists, who find their
greatest pleasure in raising alarms
against popular foods. The innocent
looking little fruit. with its soft, blush
ing cheek and delicate perfumed
breath, is now accused of dreadful
things, and TO think that we have been
eating it all this time and never knew
what we were up against, says a we'll
known writer.
The deceitful, innocent looking little
berry that has fooled us for so long has
at last been found out. 1t produces
bad temper in those who eat it. 1t
must be so, for the scientists, who are
up on such things, have said so. But,
shades of our grandmOthers let US
whisper it low the scientists also say
that the ladies are particularly suscep-
tible in this respect Who'd have
thought it? 1t is true that we have
seen some ladies that have called to
mind peaches and cream, and those
who Outriyalled the strawberry in their
delicate bushes, but bad tempered?-
perish the thought.
Thes CHEMISTS tell us that some ladies
will eat a pound or more of strawber-
rieS at a time and then become so mo-
rose that people are glad to avoid them.
No, we really cannot believe it of the
fair sex. Yet the learned ones tell US
that the dear creatures are rally Ill
and do not know it they are suffering
from the strawberry disease, the symp-
toms of which are slight dizziness, a
desire to be alone, great irritabillty.
The trouble is ascribed to the straw
berry acids. of which there are said to
be three, phOsphOric, sulphuric and sal
icyIic. and it is the last-named which
is believed to cause all the trouble. The
berries which produce the worst erect
are the large ones; the small berries
are usually quite harmless. The fruit,
IL taken at all. should be eaten without
cream or sugar, and nObdy should sat
more than a dozen at time.
The wise ones tell us that in addition
TO irratibility, sufferers have strawber-
nv rash and strawberry headache, and
thus the luscious, luxurious, much
loved strawberry-the festive, ever
sought-for strawberry of church festi-
val fame-geOs to its doom. But AFTER
all it has served the world we'll
What a relief to lay ali our troubles
and bad tempers at its door, We used,
perhaps. to feel a little conscience
stricken when we had been out rather
late the night before, got up with
bad taste IN our mouth, and managed
to worry down Il dish of strawberries,
feeling as We set forth to our daily
toll that every mans hand was against
us. | say i'm the days gone by we used
to feel that the bad temper was OF our
own choosing. but we were wrong, all
wrong; we had nothing at all TO do
with it: it was all the fault OF those
blasted Strawberries. We might have
stayed up all night if we had wanted
to. and felt none the worse, if we had
let that dish of strawberries alone. No
more tempting, sOul-destroying berries
for ours: no. not, at least, until the
price goes down.

Robert N. Harper, president of the
Washington chamber of commerce and
millionaire patent medicine manu-
facturer, is the first man to be con-
victed under the federal pure food and
drug law for mislabeling a .phar-
maceutical compound and, despite the
fact that President Roosevelt insisted
that he be given, a jail sentence, the
court imposed a paltry fine of $500
upon Harper. The law provides for
either Imprisonment, fine, or both in
instances of this sort, but for some

AS a buffer Frank Day has few
equals. The other day he was talking
over the long distance telephone from
the governors Office to a man in
Waseca whom he supposed was
Senator McGovern. The senator is
staunch supporter of Gov. johnson.
But it was an ardent Bryan adherent,
James McGuigan, who was at the
Waseca end of the wire, and Frank
informed him that he could have all
the financial assistance necessary to
carry Waseca county for johnson
delegates. McGuigan wrote Frank a
letter and informed him that he would
make public their conversation. Then
Frank gave out a harmless version of
the affair to the city papers.
McGuigan remains to be heard from.
It is no secret that all kinds of money
is being used freely to rob Bryan of
the state. Two out Of every three
democrats in Minnesota are for
Bryan, but the Johnsonites have the
money and the organization and will
probably carry the state.

as saying: ~ have no doubt
that Mr.. Bryan will be nominated at
Denver, and I think we have a good
chance to elect him. The movement

If the interests that are now urging
his nomination had backed me up
when I advocated his candidacy ten

chaotic condition cannot dictate to the

George Kehoe, the district fire chief
of Minneapolis who died the other
day, was a brave man. He never
finched in the face of danger. Time
and again he fearlessly risked his own
life to save the lives of others. The

and would unhesitatingly follow him
into the jaws of death. With him it
was never Ego on, boys" but always
"come on, boys.'' Kehoe was as

chief characteristics was his sincere

sional district republican convention
to elect two delegates and two alter

A Bright Young ATTORNEY.

The Anoka Free Press has this to
say of bright young Anoka attor-
ney, who is at present studying in the
law Office of George B. Edgerton of
St. Paul:
"More than mere passing interest
was manifested in one of the district
court cases the past week by reason of
the fact that John Coleman, jr., an 'O3
graduate of the Anoka high school
appeared as one of the prosecuting
attorneys. The case was that of Will
liam Johnson VS.. the Great Northern
Railway Co. for personal injury
damages. and Coleman rendered able
assistance in securing a $4,000 verdict
for Mr.. Johnson. McElwee & Halla-
han were also associated with Cole
man in the case, but to the latter fell
the Important task of making the clos
ing argument.
"In this he showed something of the
real worth concealed beneath his quiet
exterior, and he delivered a very
concise and exhaustive argument,
bringing out and calculating the
favorable points on his side with the
ability of an old timer. That he has
made good in his chosen profession
is now settled fact in the minds of
his local friends.''

seekers for fame and for bread but
there is always room at the top. Mr..
Coleman has the stuff in him to make
a frst-class lawyer and his friends
