Remarkable Improvement Al
leqed in Two Patients
Treated for tuberculosis.

Remarkable improvement has been
shown by two of the sufferers from tu-
berculosis treated in this city last April
by DR.. Frederick friedman, the German
physician, who claims to have discovered
a cure for the great white plague. Phil
ip Chase, five years old, of 2114 14th street
southeast. appears to have almost en-
tirely recovered from the disease. while
a wonderful improvement has taken place
in the condition of Edith Strawser. seven
years old, of 3221 Reservoir place north
west, according to a statement made by
her parents.
Philip Chase. who suffered from tu-
berculOsiS Of the bone, was on crutcheS

be treated by DR.. Friedman. His left
leg was about an inch shorter than his
right, and he was almost helpless. Two
injections of the serum were given.
About thirty days later his leg was
braced with splints These he wore for
about three weeks. When they were
removed 1t was found that he was able
to walk about without the use Of his
clutches. His improvement continued.
and today he is able to get about as
quickly as any Of his playmates.

of the ",rurnoff" one day late in Au-

at the delayed marriage, but the gen.

recent death and the proper respect
due to it furnished sufficient excuse.

ing so close to the center of interest,
talked and talked, and thus Grace was
spared the interviews which would
have been trouble to her. Nat left

Hand, Foot and Nose Of Common Mole.
The strength of these little animals is
marvellous. They will heaye UP the
surface of path trodden so hard
that repeated blows of pick will be
needed to break the crust.
Ordinarily the mole makes his way
through the soil as a root does, or a
stake when driven by tee blows of a
sledge. The earth is net excavated.
but simply crowded aside. When the
ground becomes very hard, of course,
the mole is obliged to excavate the
passSaeways and push the loose dirt
out through the openings of the roof
OF his tunnel
The mole keeps at work all through
the winter in places where the ground
is not frozen too hard. He works
more frequently in the morning and
evening.
Moles do very little harm to the
roots of grain, grasses or vegetables,
except in pushing the soil aside, and
they live principally on the white
grub, earth-worms and beetles.
He thus proves himself to be a
friend to mankind, because grubs are
the greatest scourges of grass and
0tner valuable plant roots.
