The CASE OF mas. KERN

The case of Mrs. Mamie Kern. 91s
Fourth avenue north, is a fair SAM
pie OF the work that DR.. Gates is
doing in this city. Mrs. Kern suffered
for fifteen years with an aggravated
form of stomach trouble. The last
report of her condition from the
doctors was that she had liberation
OF the stomach and floating kidney,
making 1t necessary to go to Ro-
chester, Mimi, for an operation.
Mrs. Kern dreaded surgical oper-
alton almost as badly as she sur
fered with disease. and hesitated TO
undergo one. She tried every rem
edy she could find and was doctored
by many in hope that some relief
could be found. Her stomach OF
course was in a terrible condition;
she was thin and wasted. could
hardly eat food Of any kind and
suffered the most excruciating pain
at times.
Through The Forum she heard Of
Or, Gates and made some investi-
cations among those who had been
cured. The result was that she be-
gan treatment with him and from
the very start knew that she had
made the right decision, as relief
was almost immediate. A few treat
ments demonstrated the fact that
cure was possible, and when IN
terviewed this week stated that she
was renewing her youth: could eat

MRS. SoLM WONDERFULLY
CURED.

Il have suffered constant pain and
anguish for the past ten years.
Since my marriage eight years ago

work and worry incident to this has
increased my suffering. have been
treated by the best physicians whom
we could find and my husband has
spent money freely in an effort to
secure the best treatment and help
me to health. My trouble was dag
nosed mainly as bowel trouble, later
developing into what they called APP
pendicitis.
Il suffered great pain at times,
and since last Christmas up to the
time came to Fargo have hardly
had moments relief from pain.

pain between the shoulders and

HONESTY ON THE PART OF ANY
Administrative OFFICER OR
EMPLOYEE

HONESTY ON THE PART OF ANY
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER OR
EMPLOYE.
The absence of competent and regu-
lar inventories of institutional pro-
perty and supplies, and the omission
to provide records and entries cover
ing depreciation and obsolescence of
furniture and machinery, and the con-
sumption Of material and supplies, pre-
vent the preparation of statements
covering these important features.
However, it is quite impossible at this
late date to state the ultimate dis
position Of much of the property of the
institution.
Clerical errors and omissions will
occur in any undertaking and are read
lily corrected at the time of audit, Such
clerical errors as have been observed
in the process Of this examination.
have been noted herein and sug-
gestions have been mSde for their cor
rection.
A careful review of the results of the
examination, forces the thought that
there has been neglect in the matter of
providing suitable and competent rec
ords and routine, and such, neglect has
caused the operations of the admins
trative officers to be questioned and
criticised.
economic results are necessary in
every undertaking, and can only be
reflected by the use of suitable records,
and failure to provide such records
places the good motives OF admins
trative officers In the position of being
doubted, and even criticised.
1t is further concluded, that those in
authority should require an early In
ventorying of all buildings, machinery,
equipment, material and supplies, re-
latlns to the institution; that this prop
erty should be carefully appraised or
priced and so prepared as to reveal
location and description of the same
in consistent and comprehensive
manner; that a ledger for the Irvine
plant and penitentiary inventory
should be properly established there
in; that suitable and proper accounts
should be established under each fund
which will reflect economic operations
in each fund or department Of the in
stitution; that a plan of monthly re-
ports should be adopted, so as to re-
fleet in consistent detail, the econo-
mics Of operation and revenue and
they should be required to be filed at
regular periods with the proper state
officers; that prior to the closing of
each biennial period, the accounts of
the institution should be audited by
competent public accountants and
their certificates and statements there
OF should be formally transmitted to
the governor OF the state, and there
be accessible to the members OF the
Legislature, or the general public.

/ New York, June 11-While Theadore
home to be extended to him was
tic toward his native land after an alb
sence Of fourteen months, some thou
sands Of his fellow countrymen are
gathering from every part Of the Unit
ed States, from Maine to Alaska, to
do honor to him on his arrival The
welcome home which he will receive
| next Saturday will surpass any ever
accorded to a private citizen in the
entire history of the republic. In
many particulars it will be far more
spectacular than the ceremony in
which he participated in Washington
on March 4, 1905, when he was inau-
gurated as president of the United
States. 1T will outdo the triumphs
with which emperors are acclaimed
and the only event that can be con-
sidered as at all comparable with it

will be missing this time, but there will
be vastly greater number of crafts

people In attendance; and if possible,
there viii be greater enthusiasm.
When the subject of the welcome
home to be extended to him was
preached to Colonel Roosevelt two
months ago, at the beginning of his
European tour, he requested that it
should be quiet affair. It may be
considered that by the Rooseveltian
standard, but not by Gny other. If one
can imagine two thousand water craft
ranging from tugs and tiny motor
boats up to huge ocean liners footing

to every imaginable pitch; half a
thousand bands along the line of march

WONDER WHAT THE
JAPS ARE UP TO
CENTRAL AMERICAN NATIONS
MUCH INTERESTED IN CON-
ING NAVAL
VISIT.

New Orleans, June 11.--Much sigG
nificance is attached to the proposed
visit of the Japanese battleship fleet
to Mexico, according TO dispatches re-
ceived here from Central America
The Latin American press is inclined
to regard the visit, which is to be made
upon the occasion of Mexico's centen-
NAL celebration of her independence,
as a bold diplomatic stroke by Japan,
and prints rumors of special ENJOYS
being sent at the same time to carry
on negotiations with Central American
republics.
1t is also claimed that Japan will
take advantage of this visit to bring
about treaty relative to canal in
Nicaragua for which England will
furnish the money.
