Soldiers Home

Comrades of the G.. A. Il. re.
ceived word last Monday from
the Soldiers home at Hot Springs,
that Francis Weinberg died there
Sunday night. Mr.. Weinber"
went from here to the home a
month OF SO ago, being then in
failing health that needed the
care and treatment he could re-
ceive at the home, but it was not
expected that he would recover.
Mr.. Weinberg was a well known
character, not only in this i'm
mediate vicinity but in several
other parts of the state and in
Minnesota where he had travelled
around with horse aud wagon
selling what is known as Pam
Paint and extracts of his own
manufacture. He was a Swede
by birth, vas Is years of age, and
was an old soldier, having enlist
ed at Bridgeport, Conn, in Aug
u>t, 1862, in the 18th. Conn, Inf,
and was honorably discharged
in July 10, 1865, at New Haven,
Conn
AT the close of the war he went
to New York. later to Wisconsin
and to Dubuque, Iowa, and from
there went to kimball this state,
where he took up a claim. and for
last few years of his life made
Milbank his headquarters. He
leaves a daughter, Miss Frances
Weinberg, at Dubuque, but this
is the only relative that is known
here. The deceased was aOwner
of a small house and lot south of
the railroad track in this city,
and had some $500 in one Of the
banks here. While with some
rather peculiar characteristics
the deceased was a man of high
moral ideals and was strictly
honorable in all his dealings, and
of the most, kindly disposition.
We understand that the remains
will be buried at Hot Springs
cemetery where SO many of his
old soldier comrades lie.

DEADLY EXTERIOR OF FRUITS
Made ~ GsrmIsss ~ StsrIiized Water
BY Simple Process Of WASH
Ina on Bacteria.

Professor Me:chnikon has had 20
much to say in recent years about the
enormous proportion Of diseases that
are acquired by taking bacteria into
the system on raw fruit that certain
class of people amicted with the mod
ern mania which may be called 0ermi-
phobia will be interested in the ind
ings Of Drs. F1llasier and Sartory. who
assert that q little common washing
Will render the deadly exterior OF ali
fruits as germless as sterilized water.
These men are members Of the
French Academy of Sciences. and be-
coming interested ip the charges
brought against raw fruit they recent
ly set about the experiments OF a
simple character which proved the
complete efficacy Of cold water as .
germ chaser. They placed = few
grapes In little water and found from
100000 to several million germs in
cubic centimeter in the water. A
second washing produced a few thou
sand of the Metchnikon terrors. and
at the end of a fourth rinsing scarce
ly any germs could be found in the
water used.
The interesting part Of this work
was that with each washing a con-
slant decrease of germs was noted
30 per cent being eliminated each
time the process was repeated. In ad-
dition to demonstrating how simple it
is to ward OF ali danger from germs
on fruit the Frcnchman asserts that
MT hair tina snoctmons which IN fnd
q habltauon on fruit are harmful.
