FRECKLES is a play for the world
ly and unworldly, as remarkably M
pealing in dramatic form as it proved
as a novel-Philadelp Inquirer.
The play deserves chief praise for
the skill by which every character is
made to appear as having stepped right
out of the book, yet it is strong
enough drama in itself without refer
ence to the novel.-Boston Herald

Successful Root and Herb Remedy.

D. The study of roots and herbs, their
character and power over disease,
was what led Lydia E. Pinkham, OF
Lynn, Mass, to produce for woman'5
ills the most successful remedy the
world has ever known, and while she
passed to her reward some years ago,
her work among suffering women is
still carried on by trained assistants
and many tons of roots and herbs
are consumed annually in the manu-
facture of the now famous Lydia E.

Minnesota's New Prison.

Popular Mechanics: Minnesota's
new prison, which cost So, 900, 900, was
constructed on lines which make it
one Of the best and most modern, ar
chitecturally, in the United States, If
not in the whole world. It's buildings
which are strictly fireproof, are plain,
but substantial and comfortable, fol-
lowing in construction all the laws
and rules for obtaining the best
hygienic sanitary conditions.
It is located two or three miles from
selected with particular care as to To-
cation and sourc of pure spring wat
er, the prison farm covering 100 acres,
and the prison Enclosure proper, %
acres. From the front is a broad view
Of the st. CroiX valley, and in the
pretty country at the rear Is a spring
capable Of furnishing 1,500, 900 gallons
Of pure, cold water daily. The build
ings are OF brick, surrounded by a con-
crete stockade 26 feet in height.
There are two cell houses. each con-
tanning 512 cells. Practically one-third
the outside walls of these houses is
glass, and there are skyltghts over the
halls, the result being a vast change
from the dark, dismal cells Of the past.

The Fee Splitting Evil.

Journal Of the Kansas Medical So
ciety: The step which the American
Medical association is now taking in
investigating the fee-splitting evil in
the medical. profession has been I'M
dertaken none too soon. This practice
is the great corrupting element in the
profession today; those practicing 1t
have in many instances become little
better than the newspaper advertising
takers, with their brokers and in the
field dragging up the business for
them. AS it now is, the physician in
the rural district or small town, prac-
ticing this custom, uses the CONNER
cial method Of shipping to the highest
bidder. The surgeon who is a true
man of christian character and with
the highest type of surgical skill, who
does not divide a fee, is forced to COM
pete with many an INSCRIPTIONS sur
| geon, who may possess but very ordi-
nary ability; but because he "a a
! liberal commission he gets the work,
= and what is still worse Is doing a NUT
Hating operation on healthy tissues,
| which I believe is not such a rare &C.
currence, n also that the percentage
of patients sem to surgeon who does
not split a fee is small. 7 regard the
man who sends the patient to a sur
geon and accepts a part OF the fee as
a commission as more dishonorable
than the surgeon, since the latter feels
almost forced to do so. I have been
much amused by hearing men who do
the fee -splitt1ng attempt to defend
their ours by explaining to our state
society or other medical societies, that
they always have It understood with
the patient that they gave q part of
the fee to the local physician. The
shrewd fee-splltter does not try to ex-
plain it. as he knows there Is too little
truth in the above to be believed.

The ladies of Fargo and Moorhead
and all members and lady friends of
the Y. w. c. A. and the eight Camp
fire groups, are extended a cordial in
vitation to be present Friday evening,
May 16, at Stones auditorium, when
the Campfire girls make their initial
appearance in this city. For several
weeks over 100 merry, energetic young
girls have been working with their
guardian, Miss Louise Guernsey, Junior
secretary of the Y. w. c.. A, to intro
duce to the public in a novel manner
the Campfire girls as an organization
and present to them something of their
ceremonies, their work, their pleasures
and their object, which is to add the
power of organization and the charm
of romance to health, work. and play.
There are three degrees of Campfire
girls. Any girl who meets the test
for membership may belong. She is
first a Wood Gatherer; second, a Fire
Maker; and third, a Torch Bearer, and
her law Is to seek beauty, give service,
pursue knowledge, be trustworthy, hold
on to health, glorify work, and b.
happy The symbol of the %organiza-
ton is Fire, and the symbol of organ
i~zation is the standing pine, which
means simplicity and strength, and the
watchwords are Work, Health and
Love-. The Campfire is a national or
| ganization and the girls of the city
have entered into the spirit of the work
| with hearty enthusiasm.

do not. After the business session

Meat Market, was introduced and gave
q demonstration to the ladies on how

and explaining the cuts. He was as
sisted by Mr.. Burritt who cut up a

! demonstration 1t was suggested that
Mr.. Eggert sell the meat and a pair of
scales were Immediately procured and
the meat weighed out and sold. The
ladies were much interested In this
demonstration and greatly appreciated
! Mr.. Eggert's talk and Willingness to
give his time and knowledge for their
benefit. The league adjourned to meet
in one month, It being decided to meet
| once a month hereafter.
