THE AVERAGE COST
To THE GOLFER

the most conservative estimate. are
SIS Even the most careful regular
golfer will use up one ball a week,
which means about 40 balls a year, aV-
eraging the golfing year at 40 weeks,
although it very often exceeds that
figure.
Forty balls will cost the golfer s2O
at the very least, as the most eXpen-
sive balls are so cents each. Carrying
charges average from 80 to IS cents for
is holes, which means about SIS more
a year Most Of the regular golfers get
a new set of clubs each year, at a cost
between SIS and $40. But, assuming
that they get a new set only every.
other year means an average outlay Tor
clubs each year Of about $40.
Railroad Fare Big Item.
Railroad fare to and from the club
is another big item of expense. In most
places the average is 81 a round trip
Adding so cents for Incidental expenses
Of each trip, and allowing one trip
week, means that the golfer dOles out
$50 each year for transportation.
All of these figures are conservative,
yet they show that each club golfer
spends about S175 yearly, which makes
a grand total of S235, 600 600 that the
100000 club golfers spend each sea
son.
The cost Of the nOnclub golfer IS
somewhat less. He does not have to
pay the club fees or for rental of the
links. His transportation cost is con
siderable less than the clUbman, who
usually journeys far into the country.
And he does not play quite as often as
the clubman, thus reducing by about
one-third the cost Of caddying and new
balls.
Averages SIS to Player.
Placing the yearly average expendi-
ture OF the ROnclub golfer at only SIS,
it means that the 600. 900 nonclub
players spend a total of S45, 5000, 600
yearly.
To the items already enumerated
must be added the cost Of special golf.
toggery- Women golfers must wear
special gOlfing skirts and special shoes
to prevent their slipping on the greens.
Men also must wear spiked or cieated
shoes. Some -clubmen don complete
golfing attire every time they play the
game.
The total spent each year by all the
golfers simply for golf toys mounts up
to around s20,000,0O0 and brings the
grand total Of expenditure up to the
$500, 100000 mark

4 Coup OF the Eighties.
q remember a pacing race that took
place over the old West Side track
away back in the eighties, and when
Dan Hall was secretary of the track,
that resulted in one of the biggest
coups that has been pulled off in the
history of the side Wheelers. It was
a race in which Flora Belle, Buffalo
Girl, Richbau, WestmOnt and Lucy
figured, and when the race was over
two men got practically all the money
in the pool box, amounting to some
$4,000, and those two men were Fay
cite Smith, of Maryville, No, the owner
of Richball, and John S. Campbell. his
driver.
"The race was a fixed affair, or
rather it was supposed to have been
fixed, and, according TO the plan, as
mapped out, Flora Belle, who had a
record close to BIB was to take first
money, and Buffalo Girl, with a record
of PIP and a fraction, was to take
second. In the combination RichbaH,
who had a mark no better than 2:16
was left out, he being thought to have
no chance In the pools, Flora Belle
was the choice, with Buffalo Girl as
the second pick, Lucy as the third,
Westmont as the fourth While in a pool
of $500 Richban brought only SIS.
"The night before the race. pools
were sold in the rOtunda of the Pal
mer house, and Fayette Smith and
Campbell bought every pool sold on the
stallion from Missouri. Fayette Smith
drove Richball the first two heats the
next afternoon, the first of which was
won by Flora Belle and the second
by Buffalo Girl, KNAPP" Mccarthy

George Mcdonald the second In the

Medical View Of Dr.. friedman and
His Treatment for Tuberculosis in Man

Journal Of the American Medical
Association: 1t may be remarked
that, If all Doctor Friedman wanted
was a chance to demonstrate his
treatment, he did not need to cross
the ocean, indeed, his action in with
drawing his treatment from test by
his own government accords some
what strangely with his pose of I'M
needed and unjustly treated discover
er.
Let that pass. Being on this side Of
the water, he presumably wishes eth
er to submit his treatment to investi-
cation by competent and unpreju-
diced practitioners, or to employ it
himself-under such conditions, Of
course, if he is acting in good faith,
as will permit his colleagues to form
an adequate opinion of it.
If he wants the first -mentioned OPP
portunity-merely to have his treat
ment investigated under proper condi-
tions--the public health service has
offered to give 1t ample clinical test
after demonstration of its harmless
ness. If, on the other hand, he wishes
to employ it himself in New York, he
has merely to present the proper Gre
d~entials and pass an examination to
prove his fitness to practice, as any
other physician would be obliged to
do. This, to be sure, would require
time, but even this difficulty is not In
surmountable, for the New York law
contains a special provision for grant
ing a license, under extraordinary cir
cumstances, without the usual formal
tiles. The New York authorities have
signifed their willingness to recog-
nize extraordinary circumstances in
this case provided Doctor Friedman
demonstrates the value of his method
and have stated that he Is at liberty
to make such demonstration in the
I New York city hospitals. We fail to
see, therefore, that any unfairness is
being shown DIR. Friedmann; on the
contrary, he seems to be receiving the
largest opportunity that any discov-
| erer could desire for the demonstra-
| ton OF his treatment.
1t appears, moreover, that the news
papers which have hastily assumed
that Doctor Friedman is being IN
| Justly treated nave missed an import
ant point-indeed, the important point
in the whole matter: What about jus
tice to the public? Would it be fair
or iust to the throngs of tuberculosis
sufferers, excited by hope OF a sure
| cure, to facilitate their unlimited ex-
| perimentation and exploitation by an
unknown and perhaps dangerous
method2 1t would not: and justice to
the public, while not incompatible with
justice to Doctor Friedman, is, after
all. the paramount consideration.
The use of live culture in the treat
ment of tuberculosis is by no means q
new idea. In 1892 and 1885, Trudeau

nounce that living cultures must be
used in order to produce an efficient
immunity against tuberculosis. De
Schweinitz in 1894, Pearson and
all used living cultures. If we go to
foreign publications it is easy to null
Rtiply instances of the use of living
cultures. In 1901 McFIadyean and Won
Behring and in 1903 Thomassen used
living cultures to produce immunity
in cattle.
The excitement of the public over
friedman is hard to understand ex-
cept on the basis of clever press agent
work. Practically every fact which he
has brought forward has been known
for years. Why the bacillus from the
turtle should possess special curative
value for the human being is a mys-
terry, although, of course, it cannot be
denied that 1t is within the range of
possibility that such a. thing is true.
The point of scientific interest that
should be made clear, however, is that
he has discovered no new principle, at
least as far as the published COM
munications go. The principle of using
slightly virulent cultures derived from
other species was demonstrated by
Trudeau in 1891 and 1892. The prin-
cipie of intravenous injection for the
best production of immunity against
"cb olVu= &. uy
Pearson and Gilliland and others in
1902.
1t. seems, then, that if he has dis
covered anything at all 1t is only a
culture which possesses unusual inn
munizing powers for human beings.
Practically, the point of interest is in
the question whether or not a harm
less and clinically efficient immuniz-
ing culture has actually been worked
out.
On this point we still await author
itative tests, for we have no informa-
ton that Doctor Friedman has yet
submitted his treatment to investiga-
ton by competent and unprejudiced
experts in the treatment OF tubercu-
losis. If 1t proves its worth under ade-
nsuate. unbiased scientific investiga-
ton. the medical profession will be
only too glad to forget the unfortun-
ate features in its exploitation which
have raised a presumption against it's
| worth.
Until then, the public and the pro-
fession alike may be pardoned for re-
membering that a patent was applied
for and the treatment advertised be-
fore its value was established, that as
/ yet we have the word of no one who
has actually tested it except Doctor
Friedman and his assistants, and,
finally, that, although there is no lack
of clinical material for testing the
treatment in Germany. he has chosen
Ito bring 1t to America first from no
other apparent motive than pure COM
! merciaIism.

JUST one EXCEPTION
Coolest Last Day of Winter, Except
One, in a Period of Twenty-three
Years at This Station,

Mrs. Grasse of the Moorhead sta
ton thought today would break the
record for low temperature on March
20, but the thermometer declined to re-
cede from the position it had taken
and the low record belongs to March
20, 1887, when the report was 20 de-
grees below zero. Today the report
was 8 degrees below zero.
In several respects this month, so
far, has been abnormal and peculiar in
the matter Of weather. There has been
snow fall every day but three and the
temperature will show decided vary
ings from other corresponding periods.
The hottest March %, in this state was
in 1878, when the thermometer regis
tered 70 degrees above zero. The cold
est was 1888. wheE it vas 5 degrees
above zero. Fol the coming Easter the
forecasters say light snow or rain, or
clouds in the sky, with a temperature
ranging rs to 80 degrees above zero.
