E. h. HARTMAN MUST
QUIT WORK OR DIE
SPECIALIST SAYS RI
NANcIED CANNOT LIVE uN-
LESS HE Is CAREFUL.

Vienna, Aug 21.-Edward H. Harri-
man, the master mind in the railway
world, must either cease his active
participation In business affairs or suf-
fer d complete physical collapse.
This is the opinion OF Professor
Streumpel. the famous Viennese spec
talist, who diagnosed Mr.. Harriman's
ailments and for whose advice the rail-
way magnate made special trip to
Vienna
Professor Streumpel says that Mar
riman has been restored to Compare
tive health" which should remain sat-
isfactory ''if he lives the most mod
crate life henceforth. A resumption
of his strenuous activities of the past
yill surely bring relapse"
Three courses OF treatment were OUT
lined by Professor Streumpel. which
Hartman was cautioned to follow
closely.
First Hartman must take the rest
cure. He has been told to lie quietly
in bed many hours a day.
In the next place, great care should
be exercised in seeing that he gets
only the most nurishing food and this
in snfficient quantity Nothing else
can build up his wasted tissues.
The third course. is sun baths. Har-
riman was told to lie naked In the SUM
shine by which means 1t is hoped to
strengthen his nerves. On days when
there Is no sunshine the champagne
bath" is to be substituted.
This is bath in water charged with
carbolic acid gas. It is considered
strengthing to the nerves.

turns OF 10 10 is cents. This ia said
to be excessive.

business doesn'I amount to much In
Minnesota, but in North Dakota it Is
