Berlin, September 13.-Nathan
Straus, the New York philanthro-
pist, delivered today what is con-
sidered the most important address
of the third International Congress
for the Protection of Infants. He
told of his practical experience, COW
ering a score of years, in the modi-
flying and pasteurizing of milk for
infant feeding and told of the great
saving of baby life following the
establishment of milk stations for
the children of the poor in New
York's east side. Mr.. Straus has
also established milk deposits in
Berlin and other German cities and
in Ireland and all of them have
been highly successful. The con-
and lay delegates from nearly forty
nations, has given it's official indorse-
ment to Mr.. Strauss work.
Mr.. Straus was largely instrument
tai in organizing the International
Congress for the Protection of In
fants in Paris three years ago. The
body was first called the Congress
of the Gouttes de Lait, but at the
second meeting in Brussels Mr..
Straus had the name changed and
the scope of the organization broad
ened to include a general and world
wide warfare on the diseases of in
fants
Straus Native of Germany.
Nathan Straus, who was hOnOred
by President Taft with the appoint
ment as official delegate of the Unit
ed States to the Berlin congress,
is a native of Germany having been
born in Rhenish Bavaria in 184S.
He came to the United States in
1854 and settled at Talbotton, Ga.
Afterward he went to New York
and made fortune in the pottery
business. He is now largely in
terested in two of the largest de-
partment stores in New York, one
in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn.
He originated in 1894 and main
tanned at his own expense a system
for the distribution of sterilized
milk to the poor of New York,
which the statistics of the health
department show has saved thou
sands of young lives. He also or
ganized and maintained number
of depots for distributing coal among
the poor of New York.
Was Bitterly Attacked.
Last year Mr.. Straus was bitterly
attacked by New York newspaper,
and to save himself from personal
responsibility he caused to be or
ganized a committee of prominent
and wealthy New Workers to contin-
ue and extend his milk stations. He
continues, however, to be the prin-
cipal contributor to the support of
the cause.
Although a Hebrew, Mr.. Straus
draws no sectarian lines in his
charity, and people of all faiths ar!
of none benefit from his work. He
has lately extended his system OF
milk distribution to foreign coun-
tries, and Catholic Irishmen and
Protestant Germans now benefit
from the philanthropy of the Ameri-
can Jew.
Nathan Straus is a brother of
Oscar Solomon Straus, the diplo-
mat, and former secretary of COM
merce and labor in President Roose-
yelts cabinet, and of Isador Strauss,
the lti-millionaire merchant OF
New York.

Winona, September 13.-The money
and credits tax law passed by the
last legislature is to have a supreme
court Interpretation as to whether
or not under the provisions of the
law an offset to credits can be made
by indebtedness. Attorney General
Simpson has held that such offset
cannot be made. Recently Brown,
Abbott G Somsen of this city ap-
peared before the state tax commits.
sion with a request for such exemp-
tion on the part of the Winona Mo
tor company of this city, failing in
the granting of which the company
proposed to take the matter to the
supreme court. The commission
held the matter should come up be.
fore the county board first. Accord.
ingly Mr. Brown has Just appeared
before the Winona county board
with the request for this exemption
on the part of the Winona Motor
company, and the board has voted &c
grant the exemption. According tc
understanding this action by the
Winona county board is to be re
versed by the state tax commission
and this will bring the matter
squarely before the supreme court
of the state, where it will then be
taken by the Winona Motor com
pany. This company is not making
a fight on the law as whole, sim
ply on the Interpretation which does
not permit exemption for indebted
ness. An early decision in the mat
ter will be welcomed all around.

MARRIAGE CEREMONY IN
CELL OF JAIL.

Perhaps the most pathetic
marriage ceremony which ever
took place in Mankato was
that which occurred last even
ing in the county jail when
Rev. Father Hughes perform
ed marriage ceremony unit
ing G. e. Upson and Mrs. Up
son as man and wife. Mr..
Upson is confined to a cell on
the second tier, and is i'll, and
was unable last evening to
rise from his bed. Just about
sundown in the faint light Of
the cell Rev. Father Hughes
performed the ceremony ac-
cording to the requirements
of the Catholic church. Upson
is member of this church
and his wife has consented to
become member of it, so
they were remarked accord
ing to the rites of the church.
Mrs. Upson has been at For
est Lake and came here few
days for the ceremony, which
had been arranged for several
days ago. Sheriff and Mrs.
Anton Osten witnessed the
rites, which because of the
surrounding conditions was
more than ordinarily solemn.
