CAN CONSUMPTION Be CURED?
National Association Warns Against Use Of QuaCk
Remedies.

These people advertise that they can
cure consumption at home by means
of remedies which are secret and
known only to them or sometimes
they advertise that they can cure con-
sumption at the institutes" through
some secret course Of treatment. For
instance, a "prolessor" out in Kan
sas conducts an '1nstitute' where he
claims he has drug which will
surely cure consumption. A "doc-
tor" i'm Minnesota says he has a
new remedy which he himself will
exploit for the benefit of humanity
a Colorado specialist has adver-
tised new method OF curing the
disease A St. Louis druggist
claims to have found how to "dyna-
mite" tuberculosis germs. An 'in-
stitute" in a western state has been
opened recently, which pretends to
cure consumption, without resort to
fresh air treatment, largely by means
Of massage osteopathiC manipula-
tions and some secret methods.
Agaln, the National Association as
serts that the very fact of secrecy in
these cases tends TO dlscredit the so
called cure. No responsible physi-
clan will find a cure for disease and
refuse to make It known because of
pecuniary motives.
CURE POSSIBLE.
These two classes of "cures" are
not 'cures" at all. Consumption is
durable disease, however, and in
some places more than 7j per cent.
of the patients under treatment
have been restored TO health The
ESSENTIALS for the cure of consump-
tion are rest, fresh air and whole
some food. A large number OF ply
sicians have been working for years
to perfect a vaccine, or anti-toxin
tor tuberculosis, or to find some agent
such as tuberculin which will assist
In the cure of the disease. Thus far,
the experiments have not furnished a
product which will either absolutely
cure or prevent consumption, or rem
der the patient immune against the
disease. Many Of these serums have
proved effective in increasing the re-
sistance of the patient and thus help
ing in the cure, but no scientist of
repute today claims to have discov-
cred q tuberculin which will produce
cure without the combined aid of
fresh air, rest and wholesome food

Informs Newspaperman That More
Timber win be Cut Than Has
Been Anticipated.

According to reports In q copper

prominent in the lumber industry in
Baraga county. being located at Skanee.
states that the lumber production this
season win far exceed expectations.
In part he says:- ''There will be
great deal more timber cut this winter
than had previously been anticipated
l have q contract which this winter
will mean cut of over eight million
feet Of timber. All these operations are
confined to one district near the Huron
river. This timber will be cut next
summer at the Skanee mill and shipped
from there by boat. Three camps are
being operated, the biggest one employ
ing about sixty men and win get out
over four and one half million feet of
the entire cut"
Continuing the article goes on to
say This is only one instance Of the
amount Of logging which is being done
this winter. Mr.. DeHaas also looks for
a much better market price next fall.
although there is no special reason why
anything different should come about
before that time. Little land is being
purchased right now and not until the
land lockers have visited the tracts for
sale next spring and summer will there
be very much doing. In the fall their
should be the usual number of trans
fers.
There is also another large firm do
ing business not far from Skanee.

several camps operating in that i'm
mediate vicinity. The largest camp
operated by this firm this season is on
Point Abbaye where Oliver Morris, a

Now that the usual consignment Of
calendars. have been disseminated for
the new year, many people employ
their leisure moments in ferreting out
the important dates and days on which
they fall. especially with reference to
the legal and universally observed holi-
days.
The first date Of interest that people
find d Lincoin's birthday. which occurs
this year On. Friday. February L.
During the same month. on February
22, Monday, people of the United
States will unite in observing George
Washington's birthday.
Memorial Day, May 80, this year
falls on Sunday, and consequently the
civic celebration will be observed on
the following Monday. This is also the
case with the Fourth of July celebra-
ton which event, according to the ro-
tation of the days in the year, comes
on Sunday. The usual din and racket
accompanying the celebration of this
great day will be deferred until Mon
day.
The first Monday in September.
which is the sixth of that month, is set
apart for Labor Day, and this is the
occasion for some kind of an observ-
ance in practically every state in the
union.
November 2 being the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in the month is
general election day in most of the
states. Thursday, November 25, is
Thanksgiving day. The day, the last
Thursday in the month, is not NOV
able festal occasion, this being fixed by
customs and tradition.
Christmas this year falls on Satur-
day. It will be observed from the
foregoing that the only universally cell
ebrated holidays which will of necessity
be deferred because they occur on
Sunday are Memorial Day and the
Fourth Of July. Easter this year
comes on Sunday, April IL. Easter is
q movable festival, because It falls on
different dates in different years. It is
kept on the Sunday next following aft
er the fourteenth day of the Paschal
moon; the Paschal moon being the
moon on which the fourteenth day zap
proximately the full moon) occurs on
or next after March 81. Hence Easter
cannot occur earlier than March q
(when the fourteenth day Of the Pas
chal moon is Saturday, March 2l) NOR
later than April (when the fourteenth

Consider Holding couvention.


There is move on foot at present
which is being agitated through the
various Rod and Gun clubs of the upper
peninsula, for the holding Of a joint
convention in the city Of Marquette on
Tuesday. February 18th, for the pur-
pose Of successfully going over the
present list Of game IGvss and making re-
visions thereto, so that q bill may be
introduced in the present legislature
for the ratifcations deemed necessary
for the careful and judicial protection
of game and for the fair and reasonable
periods for the indulgence of The sport
afforded by the different classes of
game.
It hasSbeen suggested by those who
are prominent in this line of work, that
the date above mentioned would be a
trifie late for the assurance of success
n such bill, and are now seeking an
e1Iter date.
I've matter should be given early at
teRNipn, for those of us in the upper
/ I9AiRsula who occasionally enjoy q day
q two of this class of sport know only
too well that the conditions under
which the seasons exist at present are
far from being seasonable or of advan-
tage either to the hunter or game. We
look for number Of radical changes.
