DEADLY WATER OF THE DESERT.
Mistake Made by Travellers in the
Arid Wastes Of the Southwest.

Mistake Made by Travellers in the
Arid Wastes Of the Southwest.
"Ore Of the chief dangers to trav-
elers in crossing such dreary and arid
wastes as the far famed Death valley
in Nevada arises from ignorance as
to the character of the infrequent
pools OF water along the route" said
T. E. Smalley, mining engineer Of
Denver.
"The tenderfoot, growing faint un.
der blazing sun, will want to quench
his intolerable thirst when he comes
to q shallow hole, whose water, clear
as crystal, seems absolutely pure.
He can with difficulty be restrained
from drinking it by some experienced
companion, who knows that one
draught will probably cause serious
if not fatal illness. This water, for
all its seeming purity and clearness,
is loaded with arsenic, and many
man has lost his life By it's use.
"Curiously enough, the only water
in the desert that is safe to drink is
foul looking and inhabited by bugs
and snakes. When you come to a
muddy pool On the surface of which
insects are disporting themselves,
however, repulsive it may be both to
the eye and palate. YOU may drink 1T
with impunity, despite its looks, as
a man will who is crazy with thirst
produced by the burning sands and
merciless SUM-"

Equality of the Sexes.

There is no doubt that good deal
Of this feeling about woman suffrage
has arisen through the rancorous
claim, 1--WE are as good as you are!"
But why should such a claim be made
In these days? 1t Is not seriously dis
puted that women are las good" A
certain host remarked before his
guests lately that he would send his
motor to the station to meet So-and'
So. "Our motor" said the hostess
who wants tone. AS the lady had &C
tually bought the motor, the correction
was severe and ranked. Next morn
ing the host came very late to break
fast. He was chaffed about this, and
explained: I'm sorry; the fact is
mislaid our trousers"

Swiss Fuel Tests.

In Switzerland there is a national
federal laboratory for fuel analysis,
which in one year, the first of it's ex-
istence, analyzed and tested over
5000 samples of fuel, coal and bri-
quettes.
The laboratory cost about 1000
pounds sterling to set to work in an
old building. For small country
like Switzerland, with only 100000
people the import of coal to the value
of 100000 pounds sterling is large
item, and this laboratory has been in
augurated so that the subject of fuel
can be put upon a sound basis, and in
order that the purchase of fuel shall
be conducted upon sound principles.

Giseh and Saggarah, and has been un-
earthed by DR.. Borcharts, director of

there are hunting and fishing scenes,

TROUBLESOME PATIENTS.
Doctors Who Don't Like to TAX,
,1heir Own Medicine

Doctors Who Don't Like to Take
Their Own Medicine.
"Who are the most troublesome
patients?" said trained nurse, In an
swer to the writer's question. We'll,
in my opinion, doctors take some
beating,
"For one thing. they know too
much for their own peace of mind.
Each new symptom is at once recog-
nized, and, if unfavorable, has a low
ering tendency on the invalid's state
of mind. Again, doctor is so used
to issuing orders to nurses that it is
hard to get him to obey, and obedi-
ence to the nurse is a necessity
perhaps the most troublesome fea-
ture about nursing a doctor is his
mania for taking his own temperature.
If he has a moderately high fever, he
worries and worries, and frequently
makes himself much worse, and sends
up his temperature accordingly.
"More than cnce, when the patient
has been in critical state, rather
than refuse his. request, | have drop
ped the thermometer just as l handed
it to him. Of course, l apologize, and
express my regret-which is not ell
assumed, for it puts me to the expense
of a new instrument.
"At one period got hold of faulty
thermometer, which l used specially
for doctor patients. This registered
much lower temperature than the
one used my~elf, and thus helped
to reassure my patient. Indeed, felt
quite at loss when what might 9th
erwise hare been a useless thermom-
eter got broken"

LEMONS AS A GRIP CURE


The prevalence Of what may be con.
sidered at least the premonitory symp-
toms Of grip recalls the grip epidemic
in Eastern Pennsylvania Of a few years
ago when the "hot lemonade cure" was
Eiven a very general test. and with most
satisfactory results. The nature Of the
remedy is certainly pleasant enough to
make It the first aid' whenever this
malady threatens. Lemonade sweetened
with honey is highly recommended for
even severe cases Of grip, and a hard cold
will yield almost Immediately to the gem
tie curative qualities Of this remedy.
When the "Sunkist" lemons can be OBJ
tanned half of one will usually be ample
for a strong glass Of lemonade, as this
variety Is richer In Juice than almost
any other.

SALUTATORY

In assuming the management
of the Herald we wish to secure
the friendship and good will of
every citizen of Sauk Centre.
We came here because we be-
lieve it be a splendid place to
live and make a home. Nature
and progressive citizens have
placed Sauk Centre in the desir-
able residence class of Minneso-
ta cities. The beautiful lake,
parks and handsome homes and
well kept grounds at once takes
the eye of the visitor. But that
is not all, we note busy manufac-
turing institutions, and the fame
and reliability of the goods made
here is abroad in the land and
have made Sauk Centre famous.
The churches, schools, public
library, municipal improvements,
banking institutions and mercan-
tile establishments show the sub
stantial nature of the place and
laud the names of the citizens.
AS to the policy of the Herald, it
will be for Sauk Centre, first, last
and all the time. The editor is
a republican, but the readers of
this paper will not be annoyed
with much that savors of politics.
What we want to do and what
we aim to do is to make the Her
aid a good local, home paper,
and we would appreciate it very
much if our readers would assist
us to that end. Bring in or send
in everything in the line of news.
Write it up, phone it, or give
it to us by word of mouth; as
long at we get it, 'it will make
the Herald a better paper and
advance the interests of the city.
Mr.. Welles has kindly agreed
to help us out on local news un-
til we get acquainted with the
run of things. We would like to-
see every business industry in
Sauk Centre advertised in the
Herald-this for our mutual
benefit. And speaking of job
work, there will be no trouble in
getting it here. Both mornings
and afternoons the job depart
ment of this office will be willing
for more work. Subscriptions
can be paid at any time, the
present time preferred. In clos
ing we will express the wish that
will not be delayed by
this change and that there will
be a bountiful crop in the fall
and that we all will be ready to
get our share of it in decent
manner.
r. III. PIERCE.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1909-06-03

The newspapers Of the sur
rounding towns have been
very complimentary in their
comments on the change made
in the management of this pa
per. Mr.. Welles deserves the
nice things said about him and
for our part we are thankful to
our brother editors for their
gracious words.

Diamonds May Explode.

A curious fact about diamonds is
that it ia not uncommon for the
crystals to explode as soon as they
are brought up from the mine. Some
times they have burst In the pockets
or the warm hands of miners, due to
the effect of increased temperature.
Large stones are more likely to do
this than small ones. Valuable stones
have been destroyed in this way.
To safeguard them some dealers

COLUMBIA WOMAN
FoULLY sLAI

Throat Cut and Head Crushed With
Axe. Equals Maude Allen Murder
Mystery.
The Columbia police have another
Maude Allen murder mystery in the
finding early Friday morning of the
body of Mrs. Victoria Griffin in a well
at her home on Sumter street.
There was an axe cash in the top of
her head and her throat was cut from
ear to ear. She was murdered in her
kitchen where the axe and bloody
razor belonging to her son werefound.
Five men have been arrested 80
far. Three are her sons, all cotton
mill operatives, the fourth is G. Wash
Medlin, former boarder and the fifth
is barber named Luke Lewis,
formerly of this county, who kept
company with the dead woman's
daughter. The three sons of the dead
woman has been released.
Mrs. Griffin's husband was murder
ed in Georgia several years ago by
his business partner, Dennis, at tur-
pentine farm,
The whole murder is shrouded in
the deepest mystery. The children
of the dead woman declare that their
mother killed herself; that she had
been sufferer from cancer for sever
al yeaas and that she had often said
that she was going to kill herself.
But on the other hand, the police as
sert that it was murder outright, as
it would have been impossible for the
woman to have struck herself in the
head with the axe, cut her throat
with razor and then walked to the
we'll, jumped in and pulled the cover
to the we'll shut.
All efforts to clear the mystery have
proven futile so far.
