BERGER NOVEL
DEMONSTRATION

One of the most novel and interest
ing demonstrations of the advance in
the art of clothing manufacture ever
shown,% is attracting great crowds to
the display windows of Bergers new
store on Market street. just east of

handsome young man-trying on
various suits is one of the unusual fea-
lures of this exhibit. The suits used
were all taken at random from stock.
in the size used by the model and
prove conclusively the scientific cor
rectness with which the clothing
handled by Berger's is made to ft
mems figures. This holds good not only
of the usual and average types. but
also of the stout and slim men whom
the merchant tailor experiences such
difficulties in fitting.
Another interesting portion of the
demonstration is a coat taken from
stock and ripped open to show the
inside facts" Every garment in Ber-
gers stock is as honest inside as ii is
clever out; and il is the inside. intrinsic
honesty of these garments that counts
in their wear and enables them to hold
their shape.
During the last year or two there
has frequently Appeared the statement
that there are no all wool garments on
the market.
A most interesting part of the dis
play consists of the apparatus used
in testing every fabric which is used
in ma king up clothes for Berger's. A
piece of the cloth is placed in a warm
solution OF caustic, this dissoIves the
wool and leaves the cotton strands in
tact.
This process reveals at once the pres
ence of cotton in the fabric. All such
are thrown aside; only those fabrics
made of pure wool are considered
This test enables Berger's to guar
antee every suit In their house to be
made of all wool. no matter whether II
is priced at SIS or $40.

The Canada thistle has been spread
ing rapidly in Minnesota during the
past two or three years and is becom-
ing a serious pest. 1t grows persistent
" and vigorously and crowds the grain
crops badly where allowed to survive.
The sharp spines on the leaves are
exceedingly annoying in harvesting
the grain and are equally offensive to
animals at work or in pasture.
identification. The Canada thistle is
a perennial weed with deep root stalks
which spread rapidly in all directions.
The stems are erect and from two to
four feet high. The leaves are deeply
notched, armed with numerous sharp
spines and somewhat doWny on the
under side. The blossoms are small
and vary in color from pale purple to
nearly white.
Method of Spreading. This thistle
spreads by seeds and from the root
stocks. The seeds are carried in grass
and clover seeds and seed grain, by
the wind and by farm machinery. The
root stocks are dragged about the
fields by farm implements and new
spots often infected from this source.
Eradication. When fields are only
slightly infested with thistles they
may be destroyed by cutting the plants
off with a spade deeply beneath the
surface of the ground every time they
appear. This requires constant watch
fuIness throughout the entire. growing
season and must be kept up for a num-
Der of years, Where a large field is
badly infested the most practical
method of eradication will be to bare
fallow the land. The thistles should
be plowed under deeply early in the
summer before they come into bios
som. The land should then be worked
frequently enough with a surface slic-
ing implement such as a disc or Acme
harrow to prevent any of the plants
appearing above ground. The cultiva-
tion must be kept up until late in the
fall as the Canada thistle is very
persistent grower If cultivated crop
can follow the next year the eradica-
tion will be more sure.
Thistles seldom trouble much where
short crop rotations are practiced. A

NOTES AND BRIEFS -

the number of inhabitants Dickinson
has profited. and an increase in that
county has been made from 1880 to
20,524. 1t is not thought that Menom-
inee county would have made much of
gain even though the strip of land
had been left intact for the reason
that the lumber industry in the dis
trict is fast becoming extinct and saw
mills have been taken from the city
and country. This condition of affairs
will not continue long, for with the
exit of the saw mill the entrance of
the factories can be seen. The fac
tories i'm sight will increase the popu-
lation TO such an extent that it is ex-
pected the number of residents will
be doubled when the next census is
taken. Menominee, at the present
time, is practically new town, and
is now entering into n period of oil

Husband Bought Revolver, Himself

was i'm any way responsible for her
husband securing the revolver with
which he committed suicide at the
Upper Peninsula hospital for the In
sane at Newberry has been removed
through the persistent efforts OF
Sheriff Bayliss of Chippewa county.
IL is now known beyond question that
the revolver was purchased from n
Sault ste. Marie hardware firm by
Smith himself on August 8. two days
previous TO the time that he was TAX
en- to Newberry. When il became ru-
mored about that Mrs. Smith had
been instrumental in her husband get
ting hold of the revolver. Sheriff Bay
lis, feeling sure of her innocence In
the matter, set himself the task Of
getting the facts IL possible The
weapon was identified by three persons,
leaving no doubt as its being the one
purchased by Smith. How Smith kept
possession of the revolver in view of
the methods employed at the asylum
for searching patients will perhaps
always remain mystery. All pa
tlents entering the asylum are oblig-
cd to disrobe completely and they
are put TO bed where they are kept
for at least two days while their
clothing is washed and fumigated
Not single thing in the patients
possession when he enters the hospital
is supposed TO be left with him. Smith
with the acute cunning of crazy
man, must in some manner have Sc
creted the gun under the mattress of
his bed or in the clothing while he
was dlsrobing at any rate he placed
IL where he secured its possession at
the time when he decided upon ending
his life. The friends of Mrs. Smith,
who have never wavered in their be-
lief of her entire innocense, will be
pleased to learn of her complete ex-
oneration from the suspicion which
rested on her.
