DR.. Hamel, assistant director of the

says that his board will be the last
body to pass on the efficiency of
the friedman treatment, and that
not official confirmation can be ex-
pected from the board until all the
greatest doctors in Berlin have con-
firmed Friedmann's claims.
Four physians of standing, whom
friedman has trusted ard permitted
to see his treatment, have expressed
themselves to me as convinced that
Friedman has discovered the long
sought germ which will kill the tuber-
cular germ in the human body, and
that his treatment will cure bone tu-
berculosis and lung tuberculosis, the
latter in not too advanced stages

WINGED that friedman can cure tu-
berculosis of the bones and lungs, the

THEIR MOST JOYOUS MOMENT
OF the Trio, Probably Representative
Redfieid Had the Best Ocea-
sion to Smile.

The talk in one of the cloak rooms
of congress turned to the thought of
the happiest moments in ones life
Senator Bailey said his came the day
he wore his first pair of trousers. And
Paul Rowland of Ohio declared his
big moment of Joy was when he was
permitted once to drive chariot in
pony and dog show parade.
Representative Redfeld. who is a
wise chap. even if he does hail from
Brooklyn, said it was when he was
going to school and trying to master
long division. Three or four aisles
over from where he sat boy yawned.
1t was not an ordinary yawn. but one
of such genuine expression of feeling
toward things in general that 1t at
tracted Redfield's attention. He was
fortunate in having a paper wad right
at hand, ready for any emergency,
and he aimed this at the boys caver-
nous mouth. The wad went right
square into the goal and-well. Fourth
of July fireworks are tame to the
stunts that boy did in the next few
minutes.
He says he almost smiled once on
ship board when the vessel gave n
lurch and threw platter full OF
beefsteak, gravy and all, over the
open-faced shirt front of a pompous
passenger across the table.
