Minneapolis, July 8. - That condi-
tions of health will be greatly effected
during the next four years by the de-

weakened vitality may die or become

cause severe electrical disturbances
of the atmosphere while sudden
changes Of the weather reduce the re-
sistance of animals and plants and
that disease and serious sickness Of
