MISS MAGGIE WALL HAS
STARTED WORTHY PROJECT
Aims to Provide Upper Peninsula
Home for Friendless and
Foreign Girls
TOBE LOCATED AT MARQUETTE

Miss. Maggie Wall, OF Calumet, the
well known Finnish social settlement
worker has launched a now philan-
thropic project which promises IL
prove OF great benefit 10 those for
whom il is planned. Her scheme is 10
purchase the Hotel Superior of Mar
quette and convert il into "A home and
school for foreign and friendless girls.
There is a very bright prospect that
success will attend the movement. as
Miss Walk has enlisted the aid OF a
number of the best known charity
workers OF that city.
TO consider the plan advanced by
Miss Waltz, a meeting of those in
terested was held this week and an
organization was perfected TO care for
the details Of financing and providing
for the maintenance Of this institu-
ton. The building and twenty-five
acres of land will cost $4,000. one
third of which must be paid In cash
and the balance in long time payments.
IL is estimated that the building can
be placed i'm good condition for $4,000,
and that $500 per annum viii he
sufficient to meet the running ex-
penses.
As most of the hotel furnishings are
stll in the building. it would require
little effort to convert il into the pro-
posed institution Assistance Will
probably be forthcoming from some of
the state philanthropic organizations
and there is little doubt that the plan
will be a complete success.
The school If established will be
open to the entire upper peninsula and
will fiji long felt want particularly !
among the foreign speaking girls. In
speaking OF the proposition To those 1
who met To consider il this week. Miss /
Waltz was enthusiastic. She empha- |

SUGGESTION AS A CURE.

"The spread of Eddyism and the
Emanuel movement merely emphasizes
the fact that we have another potent
weapon at our command" said Dr.
William Fl. Deffenbsck, OF New York,
in his annual presidential sddress on
Tuesday to the National Society of
Physical Therapeutics, affiliated with
the American Institute of Homeopathy,
which is in session 10 Detroit.
"The use of suggestion to patients"
continued the doctor, ''should be
studied aud taught, as should every
other agent promising relief in the cures
Of tho sick"
He asserts that to con6ue the medical
profession to Drugs, surgery or any
other system alone sis a crime to man
kind and the time is not far distant
when liberality and breath of view in
medicine will reap its reward.
Treating on the use of electricity,
DR.. DieffeDbsck said that the Roentgen
ray haC DOW established itself as an
indispensable sgent in the diagnoses
of diseases aud said that the ray had
been used sdvsntsgeously in the treat
ment of tuberculosis. DR.. F. O. Robbins,
of the New York State Lunscy Com
mission, in paper read before the
society of Neurology and Psychia-
tries, said that it has been found that a
form of insanity is caused by tuberculO-
sis. Those cases which had come un-
der his observation were the result Of
negligence on the part Of the patients
family or family physician in allowing
him to exhaust all vitality before seek
the services of alienists. These cases,
the doctor said, were those where the
family could see no resson for mental
breakdown, especially in view Of TIE
absence OF insanity in the family.

That our American rorests abound IN
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly sttested
by scores Of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness Of many native plants before the
advent Of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely 70 the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment Of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

they turned him loose with that mark on
him.
This man had already been mugged
several times in New York. He kept the

that actors use. But the next time he
was snagged in New York he was kept in
