Brooklyn Doctor Has "Na-

ease.

ease.
New York World.
All of the Women school
teachers of Brooklyn received
Wednesday circular announc-
ing that the Summer Nature
Camp for women and girls at
Sunrise Park, near Ridgefi. Id.
Conn, will open June 1. DR.
A. Sidney Higgins, of IL King
ston avenue, Brooklyn, who
manages it, aims to cure nerve
and stomach disorders. The
rule of camp is that the campers
shall wear no clothing, except
In bad or cool weather and shall
live upon fresh milk and cereals.
DIR. Higgins said yesterday
that there are no maladies of the
kind referred 10 that cannot
be cured by exposing the naked
body to sunshine and air, diet
ing as he prescribes, and taking
required rest.
Sunrise Park consists OF / 500
acres in an isolated section OF
Connecticut, 4 miles from q rail-
road, in a heavily wooded region.
The doctor occupies house and
the campers live in tents at some
distance from it. They are re-
quired to 60 to bed at dusk.
The tents are furnished with
beds and cots, but some of the
campers prefer to sleep in ham,
mecks suspended from trees
Others sleep on .he ground
Their recreations are archery,
TERMS, quoits, and swimming.
For those inclined to strenuous
exercise wood pile and buck
saw are provided. Long walSs
are taken. On these occasions
the campers wear bathing suits
or short single garment. They
GEAR clothing also when they
visit the doctor. The camp
was established three years ago.
1t opens every year on June l,
and ends on September so. DR..
Higgins is son of A. S. Hig.
gins, Sr., who was connect
ed with the Brooklyn public
schools all the active years of
his life. The doctor abandoned
the use of drugs five years ago.
"The medical profession is
tnpheavy with theories, he said.
Back to nature and first prin-
ciples," is my motto"

WHAT WERE THEY THERE FOR
Reporters Seemingly Superfluous Question as to Happenings at
 Cabinet Meetings.

Postmaster General Meyer is of a serious turn of mind, but he has bit of humor in his makeup, nevertheless. Being looked upon as the shrewdest politician in the presidents cabinet, he is the objective point for newspaper correspondents on cabinet days.
 Last week as MT. Meyer emerged from the White House a newspaper man asked:
 "Mr. Postmaster General can't you give us some news about the cabinet meetings?"
 There really is nothing to say" re- piled the cabinet officer. We dis cussed nothing of especial impor- tance"
 Do you mean to say you did not discuss politics?" the newspaper man queried.
 The postmaster general burst into laughter. When he recovered his us- ual serenity he said:
 ':Do you suppose we were all muz- zled?"
The Green Forest tribune., 1909-07-09

Dealing in futures IS not only gam bling but it is a species of cut-throat gambling. It not only demoralizes those who engage in it but it disturbs the business of the country by render ing prices uncertain, and producing a feeling of uncertainty, and this feeling causes a lower level of prices generally.
 This government is very strong. It can put a negro in jail in the twinkl- ing of an eye for shooting craps, or a poor man in the penitentiary for stealing provisions for his starving family but it cannot stop a gang of commercial pirates from holding up" all the people on one of the greatest necessities of life.
 Suppose that the farmers were well enough organized and would agree to hold everything they had for an ex- tortionate price? Does anyone be- lieve that the government would per nit? The leaders would be arrested and put in jail with little cere- mony, for conspiracy against trade. Whats the matter with Patten and his co-conSpirators? S

FARMERS FIGHT JUST BEGUN.
Struggle to Bring About Conditions More Equal to Agriculturist Now
 Getting a Good Start.

The main question with the mem. bers of the Farmers union being the method of quickly and successfully bringing about a condition that will give them a proper price for their sta pie crops; especially in Texas and the south cotton, all incidental questions that have tendency to bring strength to the main issue are of interest to them and demand their close investi- gation and scrutiny
 Of course the main question along this line is the total abolition of deal ing in speculation ''or gambling in fu- tures," as it is called, and therefore attacks were made upon the bucket shop proposition and a signal victory was won. The next proposition before the union, of course, was to kill the daddy of the bucket shop, the cotton and grain exchanges.
 The arrangements have been made and the skirmishing has commenced, to be followed at the regular session of congress in December by the join ing of the antagonists in the general battle over the terrible varmint that has so long fattened on the vitals of the producer and the products of his land. In the meantime the union has investigated other methods of indu- cling a rise in the price of their great commodity, cotton. Among these was the manufacturing of all kinds of cot ton stuffs, such as bagging to cover their bales of the staple bags to hold

DUSKY MONARCH EASY MARK
Wiles of Beautiful Captive Proved Just the Thing When Elmer

The beautiful young captive retained her presence of mind, however, and when it came her turn to be taken before the cannibal king, she marceled herself very carefully.

 His majesty at once fell into the trap.
 You're simply it!'' he replied cor dially
 Well, sweet things are terribly fat tening"
