Won't Mister Phelan, of the
Western Waterman, Be
Distressed AT This?


@HE editor of the Worthington
(Minnesota) Progressive,
seems to be having troubles
of his own with his Roman
Catholic neighbors, and ;,fter
Father" Phelan had assured us
that all "his people" were sweet, and
good, when you know them.
1t would seem that hanging in eff
gy and the boycott are favorite
stunts of the Romanists, when you
''rile" them, and the editor of the
Minnesota paper has this to say CT
recent events in his town:
The devil SUI ely Out-deviled him
self Saturday night, end We are not
going to let The Menace or anybody
else mOnOpOliZe all the news of RO-
man Catholic deviltry.
When pagan popery has been driv-
en- to the last ditch and it's purposes
and aims have been utterly defeated,
as has been the fruitless effort of
trying to drive this anti-Catholic out
of WOrthington, it's last stand is to
resort to blackrlail and calumny.
no this end, our enemies, perhaps
thinking they could thereby vindi-
cate the exiting or departing
priest, who some time ago made pre-
diction that has failed to come true,
as to us soon making an "inglOriOus
exit" out Of W. arlington, and with
the idea of ret2li2ting, in their ac-
customed pagan way, for calling at
tentiOn to certain local historical
facts, which cannot be successfully
cOntradicted or altered, they stuffed
their own clothes, smeared them
with their own hands, as far as we
know, may have hung them near
their own premises, and all in the
cowardly hour of the night, labeled
them with our name and the pagan
threat Of Skull and cross bones"
The spot that was selected-seVe-
raj blocks from anywhere near our
premises, but at the rear Of Citizens
National bank building-the person
whose pants were used, and the cir
cumstances that inspired their using
them, all nicely go together. The
job done has only, once again, prov
en- what all Protestants have long
contended-that the Roman Catholic
hierarchy is barbaric, pagan, and
anti-Christian institution. And what
they or their dupes did by effigy in
this instance, they would do in reali-
ty if their power had not been taken
from them in this civilized country,
just as Catholicism diu to the la
mented martyrs Of old.
Notwithstanding that Catholics
were Influenced to discontinue their
advertising in The Progressive this
week, our friends have more than
made up the loss. And Worthington
would not be Worthington if it did
not show the brCad-mindedness to
rally to our support under the pres
ent circumstance, when your convic-
tions, kind readers, are being as
much condemned and religious char
acter calumniZed as our own.

Miss Frances Reeve, who four years
ago was playing in the Gaiety Theatre,
London's foremost musical comedy
house, accepted an offer at the con-
elusion of her engagement there which
brought her to America. Formerly a
musical comedy star, Miss Reeve is
now appearing in legitimate drama,
change she has never regretted.

Snake Venom Cures Epilepsy
Texas Reptiles Furnish Sequence Years Experiment for
Relief of Dread Malady

Following closely upon the announce
ment of the discovery of a cure for
tuberculosis comes the information that
the venom of the rattlesnake has a
destiny to fulfill as cure for epilepsy.
The discovery of this use for a deadly
poison is credited to DR.. Ralph IL.
Spangler, whose experiments seem to
have proven the benefit of the venom
in these cases. The story of this dis
covery is told by A. st. George Joyce
in the Technical World Magazine, and
presents an interesting phase of the eff
forts of science to combat this dread
disease.
The explanation of its action is not
entirely given, but so far as known it
acts upon the blood in such way as
to lengthen the period of coagulation.
Blood clotting has been known as the
cause of fits, and the discovery of a
successful remedy for this condition is
In itself of wonderful value. Accord
ing to the story DR.. Spangler has sue.
ceeded in his experiments in increasing
the time from two and one-half and
three minutes to between five and six,
the normal period for coagulation be.
ing seven minutes. So far DR.. Spanger
has made about 2000 injections in 10
patients, and considers that all of them
have been benefited. Cases are re-
corded in which the frequency of epi-
leptic attacks has been materially re-
duced. One instance is told of an
eleven-year-old school girl who had
taken injections of the venom weekly
for seven months. At the beginning of
the treatment she had three attacks in
twenty-four hours. After her treat

thousands of undesirables find en-
trance in this manner.
Yet the United States government is
waking up to the seriousness of the
problem. The immigration bill, upon
which Congress will pass during the
present session, provides for more
rigid examination of undesirables at
the port of entry. One important pro-
vision calls for a literacy test that COM
pels ability to read at least thirty
words of some language or dialect.
Liberal as this provision is, it is an
Improvement over the former. 1t is
assumed that person who can read
this much can learn to read the English
language. Our schools, Nwith their com.
pulsory education doctrines, will take
care OF the younger generations if the
provision is properly enforced.
Much discussion prevailed over the
merits and demerits of the proposed

tuition of Midhat Pasha, and it found
favor but for few years. Its author
became the subject of its opposers ,
vengeance and died by the hand of an
assassin in his prison cell in 1888.
Prior to this date, when the powers
were upon the point of stepping in, the
constitution was revived and interven-
tion STAYED off. Later the same thing
happened, the constitution proving an
effective remedy for abuses time after
time. Yet its period of existence was
always brief Talk of the partition of
Turkey frequently was rife. But the
powers found in Abdul Hamid a clever
schemer. Germany wanted a railroad
in this direction, England in that;
privilege was continually being sought
by the powers, each with her own pc.
culiar purpose. Abdul -Hamid was al
ways ready and played one power
against another in such way as to
BATTLE attempts at reconstruction of
the national policy.
In June, 1908, England and Russia
were about to step in with program
of reform in Macedonia which they
were prepared to enforce if necessary
with arms. Then the revolution of
Young Turks took place and the con-
stitution of Midhat Pasha was olsen
tombed. Again this forgotten instru.
ment served to stave off intervention.
Yet it was soon again forgotten. In
1910 member of the party of Union
and Progress addressed his copatriots
and referred to this document. He re-
minded them that the constitution gave
equal rights to Mussulmans, Christians
and all citizens, but further stated that
such guarantee was impossible, "for,
first of all, the holy law is opposed to
it; all our history, the sentiment of
hundreds of thousands of true believ-
ers is opposed to it." The reaffirma-
tion of the traditional policy of their
fathers had its effect, for the soldiers
were quick to catch the spirit of this
address. The massacres that followed
were as terrible as many of the former
attacks upon Christians.
So with this seesawing back and
forth between the old regime and the
progressives, with a cry for education
on the one hand and cry for its sup
preston on the other, it is not sur
prising that Turkey, upon attempting
to stem the tide of wrath that mani
Tested itself in the present upheaval,
should find her bullets ineffective
against the enemy. Should the war
drag on with the Young Turks in con.
troll, or should the old regime still play
for time in the hope that something
will turn up to save for Turkey the
key to her national integrity, Adrian.
ople, the outcome, though perhaps de-
layed, cannot but be against the des.
potism of race that has failed to
keep up with the pace of civilization.
For Turkey is fighting with the wooden
bullets of her own molding.

character clause in the bill, which was
eventually stricken out. The clause
provided for the presentation at the
port of entry of character certificate
from the home government. But this
provision would have worked to de-
prive us of the more desirable immi-
grants, for in Russia, for instance,
every Jew is considered undesirable, al
though many of them are worthy of
the best this country affords. Russia
could, by an exercise of the character
certificate power, withhold those who
would make good citizens and issue
certificates of character to those whom
she did not care to retain. There is,
nevertheless, fallacy in our system of
handling immigrants in that we have
prevention of the assembling of for.
thority given for restraining undesir-
ables at the port of embarkation.
The bill further provides for inter.
nal immigration offices with view to
a distribution of immigration to the
farming districts of the country and a
no power of elimination except at the
port Of entry. There is very little au.
eigners in the large centers of popula.
tion in the Atlantic regions. The
opening up Of the Panama canal will
go long way toward settling the dis
tribution question, for at present the
Pacific coast gets only the Chinese,
japanese and Hindus.
Medical men in Europe are watching
with professional curiosity this flood
of low-class humanity from the densely
populated and disease-laden sections of
Europe. They freely predict that the
effect will very soon show itself in the
American people in the form of a
plague that will rouse us into action.
The United States government is be-
ginning to wake up to the same fear,
and the immigration laws are due for
radical changes in the very near future.

The close quarters of steerage assist in
their distribution. The children be-
come inoculated and later mingle with
American children in the public schools
What will be the effect upon our pub
lie school system, now recognized by
every country as the best in the world
With our strict quarantine rules in
case of less dangerous diseases we con-
troll their spreading. The problem
would be far greater with bubonic
plague or yellow fever as the subject
for quarantine.
The passport system in vogue in this
country is the means of considerable
fraud practiced by immigrants. Every
year large number of passports to
America are issued by embassies in for
eign capitals based upon naturalization
certificates or certified copies of the
same presented by citizens of the re-
spective countries. The ambassador
cannot refuse the passport for the evi-
dence of citizenship is before him. A
few questions are asked and the paper
is signed. Thus thousands of foreign
ers gain admittance into America upon
forged certificates of citizenship. For
it is simple matter to obtain a certi-
fled copy of the original certificate in
this country. A small fee is paid by
the Italian who says he has lost his
original and the copy is produced. 1t
is forwarded at once to his country
man in Italy with instructions as to its
use and the passport is subsequently
issued SO the question of the immi-
grants fitness for citizenship is be-
yond the jurisdiction of the immigra-
tion officers at the port of entry, and

ment she was able to attend school
regularly and had suffered only three
minor attacks in several months. 1t
is stated that in every case treated
there has resulted not only decrease
or complete disappearance of the at
tacks but building up of mind and
body as WELL
The discovery of the effectiveness of
this venom came about through acci-
dent. lDr. Spangler was experimenting
with the substance in the treatment of
other diseases when he heard of an al
legged cure of a Texas epileptic after a
rattlesnake bite. The experiments be-
gan and he noticed an appreciable eff
feet upon his patients, the number of
attacks decreasing almost at once. The
venom is secured from Texas rattlers
at considerable danger to the collector
The snakes are usually selected when
torpid from heavy feeding, and a
leather lassO is thrown about the neck.
While one man holds the thong another
prizes the mouth open with a spoon or
small cup and the pressure of the fangs
in the edge of the cup forces the venom
from the sacs.
Scarcely less important from scien-
tific standpoint is the discovery by M.
Dissaud of "cold light" which very
nearly approaches the long desired
light that the name implies. Science
has as yet been unable to produce
strong light directly from mechanical
power without employing heat, and the
discovery of the new light is a step to-
ward that most important end. NJ.
Dissaud applies electrical energy di-
rectly to a single point and diffuses
the light thus concentrated by means
of a lens. 1t is said an ordinary water
faucet will supply sufficient power to
operate the light. If this is true two
purposes will be served by the new
light. Electricity will be brought
within the reach of many who cannot
now afford to use it for lighting pur-
poses, for the simple use of water from
a faucet furnishes the minimum of
cheap power. In its replacing Of the
Kerosene lamp in the rural districts it
will be boon to the farmer both from
the standpoint of cleanliness and
greater convenience. Furthermore, the
heat generated by burning lamp,
which is no inconsiderable factor on
hot summer evening, will be done away
with.

RECIPES FOR The HOUSEWIFE
Chicken Salad Filling.

Take cold cooked chicken, rejecting
any dry skin or fat, add half as much
crisp celery, little minced onion and
some seeded green pepper if on hand;
run through food chopper; add enough
boiled dressing to form paste and
spread on literally.
Boiled Ham and Egg Filling.
Take equal portions of hard boiled
eggs and lean ham; add few sweet
pickles and run through food chopper.
Mix quite soft with some thick boiled
dressing. This is an economical fill
ing, as it may be spread quite thin if
bread is well buttered.

Novelty Sandwiches.

Use different kinds of bread and
cut with fancy cutters, such as hearts,
stars, rounds and crescents; fill with
some creamy filling and lay in rows on
plates, decorating each with a little
beet heart, sprig of parsley or other
little figures of red and green peppers
or boiled carrots. There are many nice
little vegetable cutters in the market
that lend themselves well to all kinds
of ornamenting. All remnants of
bread can be used for puddings, milk
toast or dried for crumbing.

Boiled Ham and Egg Filling.


Make little batter of any sort and
thin it SO that it will pour easily over
a buttered tin. Bake in quick oven.
Before it has time to cool off cut in
even strips and brush each one over
with white of egg and scatter chopped
nuts on top. Brown slightly in oven.
Lady fingers may be substituted.
