CASES INVESTIGATED.

ceived sufficient information from an en-
ploye with a GrudCe against his employer,
or against another employe who is also
making good use Of the mailing list. some
OF the victims are invited to relate con-
fdentially what passed between them and
the professor. Little good is derived from
this, as in criminal cases the victim Is
often about as criminal as the fake" prac-
titioner

opened at the dead letter Office in Wash

AN INDIAN HARVEST.

The northern Ojibway Indians live by
hunting and fishing, wild rice and berry
gathering, and no country could be more
perfectly adapted to such life. Each sea-
son Of the year has its characteristic oc-
cupaton
In the early fall they fish with nets at
the outlets OF the large lakes or in the
rarrows between their countless islands,
sometimes spearing the surgeons and
other fish by torchlight The flesh is cut
into thin strips and smoked or sun dried.
At this time they also shoot many ducks
and cure them in the same way for winter
use.
BY the first Of August the people begin
10 seeek out the wild rice fields where the
Precious cereal grows most abundantly
about the outlets and swampy bays of
these northern lakes. The harvesting OF
this natural crop is an interesting and i'm
pcrtsnt feature Of their lives.
A large field having been located certain
portions OF IT are pre-empted by different
families, and men and women go out by
pairs In a canoe TO tie the straw in bundles
to ripen month later they again enter
the field and beat out the grain with
club. while holding II over the canoe with
hooked stick
In this manner the light craft moves
slowly in water several feet deep. while
only the black heads of the harvesters are
visible through the thick straw. After the
iicld rs cleared. and the canoes emptied on
shore, a hole is dug or a natural water
worn rock filled half full with rice and
covered with rawhide Then the young
men dance barefoot upon 1t until husked;
y is winnowed In skins or nat baskets,
thoroughly dried and finally packed In
rush sacks or skins, sometimes in whole
iawn skins. This nutritious food Is mainly
csed IN the form OF a soup or stew with
VIC onck and other game.-Southern

HARD TO CATCH EN-.

INSPECTORS Warren w. Dickson and Ma
than NOle. who have lately made brill
iant record in bagcine medical game,
have had to resort to amusing tricks in
order to expose and convict those mean
and dangerous takers. who surround them
selves so well with legal advice that their
position is almost impregnable.
one Philadelphia institute had for
years done thriving business in home
cures The postofiice inspectors, having
failed to discover any definite charge
against those swindlers, decided TO spring

head Of the institute. 1t was supposed to
contain excretions Of a patient who thought
there was something the matter with his
lungs. The patient Ga healthy Inspector
was Informed that the analysis OF his ex-
cretions water and ink revealed fright
full condition of his organism. So serious
seemed his case 70 be that "the professor
himself had reanalyzed the contents Of the
bottle and taken a personal interest in
his case" The professor was arrested, but
the only legal punishment that could be
meted out to him was a fine for misrepre-
sentation in charging for an analysis he
had never made.
Patent medicine takers mulct the Ameri-
can population to the extent Of several
millions a year but they almost bleed to
death the foreign population. Immigrants
from Eastern Europe, especially the Slavic
contingent, are ready prey for the

possesses a certain number There are fifty

The multiplicity of Slav dialects enables
the takers TO print very bold advertise

postoffice officials are not likely to read.
