DENVER, July 16.-Denver dog
gies will not be hungry any more,
nor homeless.
Denver's society women have
said SO, and what they say goes.
Here's their scheme:
Under the name of the Denver
Dumb Friends league they are go
ing to build a home, or shelter,
as it S to be called, for all stray
dogs, where the homeless bow-wow
can have the same comforts anG
care that the more fortunate of
his kind receive from their soft
handed mistresses.
This wash and brush up head
quarters of the dogs will be located,
too, in clean, quiet part of the
town, free from the disturbing
noise of the city's center.
1t is even rumOred that the
fluffy ruffled society danes have
gone so far as to plan out menus
for these bowwows, to be admin
istered according to the number of
teeth the little homeless waits still
possess.
Mrs. j. c. Cover, a prominent
member of Denver's social set, has
taken great interest in this
movement. Under her leadership
society women are meeting daily
and are planning the ways and
means OF raising the necessary
funds.

Home of a leper family on the
island of Molokai, and j. Lor Wal
ZACH, whose efforts led to yearly re-
examinations.
and finally Wallach was railroaded
to prison on charge of practicing
medicine without a license. He was
released from prison on his prom
Use to leave Hawaii. He went, but
the effect of the agitation he had
precipitated remained.
AS result an entire change OF
policy was forced on the board,
and when Senator Frank Harvey
offered the joint resolution request
ing the denomination of certain
lepers, it was readily acceded to.
Now, from the least important,
efforts to cure have come suddenly
to be the most important elements
in the policy of segregation.
More than this. any leper or sus-
pected leper in Molokai can secure
a re-examination at least once
year
Deportation to Molokai is no
longer looked upon as a sentence
to living death.
The leper settlement is no longer
living tomb.
The cry of 'unclean!" has lost
its terrors.

LITTLE CIRCUS FOR
THE LITTLE FOLKS

Gentry Brothers dog and pony
shows played to two audiences yes
terday on the lots back of the
courthouse. This afternoon and
evening the performances will be
repeated. Those who saw the show
left well satisfied. Gentry Brothers
shows have retained their in
dividuality as dog and pony shows,
and it is their especial aim to pre-
sent a performance that appeals to
ladies and children.
One of the features is the dog
that rides bucking pony. While
the spirit of appreciation is on a
Teddy bear, monkey and pony
rush into the tent with a clever
burlesque.
Another feature with the show is
a boy and girl acrobatic wire walk
ers. The doors will open at Z
O'Clock tonight.

WILL RELEASE ELEVEN CON-
DEMNED LEPERS, AGITATION
STARTED BY ONE MAN
DRIVEN FROM HAWAII AS
QuAck, ENDS IN EFFORTS
TO CURE.
Special Correspondence to The Press


Special Correspondence to The Press
HONOLULU, Hawaii, July IL
Have the biblical accounts of
miraculous cures of leprosy been
duplicated in the world famous
Molokai settlement? Or have men
and women and even children in
the past been consigned to living
death though untouched by the
dread disease?
Eleven lepers, eight men. one
woman and two boys, or at least
IL persons formally declared lepers
at different times by the medical
authorities of the board of health,
have as formally and officially
been declared not lepers and re-
leased from exile in the leper set
Element in Molokai With their re-
lease has come a new era of hope
for Molokai
Some of these II had been in
exile in the Molokai settlement for
20 years or more, some for only
year. In the case of those sent a
Score of years ago. they were con-
demned as lepers on the purely
clinical manifestations of the dis
ease, before the microscopical test
showing the actual presence of the
bacillus of leprosy had come into
general use. But in all the latter
cases the microscopical test, which
is considered infallible, was used.
The microscopical test now fails
to reveal the presence of the ba-
cillus, and they are declared not
lepers.
How were they cured? Did the
medical treatment at the settle
ment or the better sanitary and
dietary conditions under which
they lived there effect a cure? Or
has nature in a spirit of mystery
stepped in to BATTLE, inquire and
arrest the disease?
Leprosy, though the oldest
known disease in the world, is one
of the most mysterious. Its origin,
its cause, its mode of transmission
are all unknown. Eleven con-
demned lepers have been found
clean. If they were cured, no one
knows how. The physicians at the
settlement do not calm the credit.
In fact, in five of the II cases no
treatment was given and the 9th
ers have not all taken the same
treatment, yet they are no longer
lepers.
The result of the denomination
of the IL marks a new era in the
policy of the Molokai settlement.
In the past, boards of health seem
to have grown callous in the belief
that the disease is incurable, and
requests for examination re-
ceived scant attention. The II We're
re-eXamined only because the leg
islature adopted Joint resolution
asking that they be.
1t is doubtful if this resolution
could have been passed If public
sentiment on the subject had not
been aroused by the agitation Of
]. Lor Wallach
Wallach claimed to ne able to
, cure leprosy. Naturally such claims
, aroused hope and inquiry among
the Hawa'ians. who are the great
est sufferers from the dread dis
ease, They asked that he be al
lowed to go to the settlement and
treat some of the lepers with his
remedies. His claims were secuted
by the boards of health. Promises

New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor skin Troubles
Over Night.

A few months ago the dispensers Of
poslam. the new discovery for the cure
of eczema, decided to allow the drug
gists of the country to handle it. Pre-.
vious to that time 1t could only be OBJ
tanned direct from the laboratories
Since this change in the method Of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success of anything
introduced to the drug trade in the last
30 years. All leading druggists, includ-
ing ]. w. Weis In Hammond, are now
carrying the special 50-cent size re-
Gently adopted. also the 50 jar.
This great success is not surprising
when it is remembered that, in eczema
cases. poslam stops the itching with
first application. proceeds to heal i'm
mediately. and cures chronic cases in a
few weeks. In minor skin troubles,
such as pimples. blackheads. acne,
herpes, blotches. rash, etc. results show
after an overnight application. Ex-
perimental samples of poslam are sent
to anyone by mail free of charge, by the
