TO OPEN FRIED
MANN HOSPITAL
First Of 36 Sanitariums Will Be
Started In Denver.
Wife of Wealthy st. Louis Man Re
ported Doing Well After
First Treatment.

Denver-A friedman hospital for
the treatment of tuberculosis with the
Berlin specialists turtle serum will be
opened in Denver, probably within six
weeks. Preliminary arrangements for
It's establishment have been made bv
DR.. M. Landismann, of the Peoples'
Hospital, New York, who left Denver
Sunday morning.
The price for the new treatment has
been fixed at $50.
The Denver institution will form a
link in the chain of 36 such hospitals
which are to be opened by DR.. Fried
mann in all parts of the United States.
pursuant to the agreement which he
had reached with the Eastern medical
syndicate whose intention is to place
his so-called "cure" on the market.
Mrs. j. D. Byrne, wife of the
wealthy st. Louis furrier, whom DR..
Landismann inoculated with the Pier
kowsky treatment during his stay
here, was reported to be doing nicely.
"There can be NO marked change"
said Mr.. Byrne, for several days.
But am hopeful that the serum will
do my wife vast amount of good. In
the case of Pittsburg Doctors wife
it has worked marvelously."
Pierkowsky was DR.. Friedman CO.
worker in Berlin. The two serums
are supposed to be similar, though
there is said now to be no relation,
professional or otherwise, between
their discoveries.
While in Denver DR.. Landismann
acted nominally in the interest of the
Pierkowsky treatment, but it is un-
derstood that he also bore a personal
message from DR.. Friedman to a
veteran Denver physician who will
assist the German specialist in the
selection of head for his local insti-
tuition

Huerta Is Fomenting Strife.

Washington, D. G. = That the HUI
erta government of Mexico is desper-
ately trying to bring about friction
between the United States and Great
Britain is the charge made by Joe
Vasconcelos, lawyer, political leader
and former member of Madero's cab
met, who arrived in Washington on
his way to London.
In this effort to create strife be-
tween Britain and America Vascon-

London-How the militant suffra'
gettes bestowed medals and other dec
orations on those who distinguished
themselves in the "cause" was
brought out in the hearing Wednesday
Of the conspirators" who are being
tried under the malicious damage to
property act. A medal MANUFACTURED
testified about the decorations sup
piled to the Women's Social and 70
litical Union. He said that medals
inscribed "for valor" cost $1.50 each;
"hunger strike medals, $2.36, and
fed by force" crosses SIS.
The most distinguished decorations,
known as "grille" brooches, cost
5000, he said. Bars were also sup
piled for addition to the ribbons on
the medals when subsequent acts were
considered worthy of special mention
in dispatches. Testimonials recording
acts of lawlessness by adherents OF
the militant organization were dis
tributed among the rank and file by
the leaders of the union.
General Mrs. Flora Drumonmd,
the militant suffragette, is in state
of collapse and will be unable to ap-
pear at the resumed hearing. A doc
tor testified in court that, owing to
her illness, she had been removed to a
nursing home. He said it would take
two weeks for her to get into condl-
ton to undergo an operation which
was necessary, and another two
months before she would be able to be
tried.

SPAIN WELCOMES ALFONSO
Kaiser Does Not Relish Idea of
French-Spanish Alliance.

Madrid-The Spanish people, proud
of King Alfonso's personal popularity
in France, greeted the sovereign on
his return from Paris with unusual
enthusiasm. Women strewed flowers
in the kings path between the station
and the palace. Governors and diplo-
matte dignitaries gathered at the sta
tion and the queen and queen mother
also were there to welcome the king.
King Alfonso and the German en-
peror will meet in Holland on the oc-
casaion of the international regatta in
the summer, according to the Tribuna.
This is considered significant, in
view of the present strong influence
which the triple entente has over the
king, possibly foreshadowing q
Franco Spanish military alliance,
which the German emperor does not
welcome.

which disturbed DR.. friedman and
his manager, Moritz Eisner, Monday,
even more than the unfavorable gov

remedy. One was the fact that DR..
M. M. Sturm, formerly DR.. Fried

for $4,000 for commission on the
sale of the remedy to Mr.. Eisner.
The other was that the same DR..

Pruning Currants and Gooseberriea


In response to an inquiry regarding
the pruning of currants and gooseber-
ries, the division of horticulture of
the Oregon Agricultural college re-
piled recently:
Both currants and gooseberries pro-
duce their fruit on wood two, three,
four or FIVE years old. The new one
year old wood seldom bears much
fruit. Wood more than four years old
usually grows rather weak and bears
only small amount of rather inferior
fruit.
It is generally considered advisable
to remove all wood from both currant
and goseberry bushes that is more
than four years old. Then thin out
the new canes that come up from the
ground or near the ground last season
to three or four of the strongest ones,
and head these back. to about two feet
in length. If this plan is followed
season after season, your gooseberry
and currant bushes will consist each
year of three or four one year old
shoots, three or four two years old,
the same number Of three year old,
and also of four year old branches. "

The Democrats could muster only 10

Two Serious Pests in Northwest
Gardens.

Two serious pests OF the gardens
on the Pacific Coast are the millipeds
and the slugs," says A. L. Lovett, as
sistant entomologist of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural Experiment station.
They feed on variety Of garden
crops and, apparently, their depreda-
tions are becoming each season more
severe and extend over greater area.
Neither of these pests is an insect in
the strictest sense Of the word, but the
serious nature of their attack warrants
US in giving attention to them.
The millipeds are elongated, worm
like creatures closely allied to the CEN
tipedes. The segments are well
marked, the integument fairly hard.
They may be distinguished from the
closely allied forms in that they have
two pairs of legs to each segment.
1.-THE slugs are Shiny, repulsive,
snail-like creatures, notified gray in
color, and about two inches in length
when mature. A mucus slime is ex-
uded from numerous glands on the
body. This forms Shiny trail on
whatever object the slug crawls over.
ssThe millipeds feed on sprouting
seeds and later burrow into the roots
or up into the fruit where it is in con-
tact with the soil.
ssThe slugs feed at night usually,
and do most of their injury at the sur
face of the ground. They feed, how
ever, to depth of three inches or
more in the soil, and climb up to feed
on the leaves, even attacking the TO-
liage of the bush fruits.
''Birds feed on the slugs, also
moles, shrews, certain of the carabid
beetles and centipedes aid in holding
these pests in check.
Craps consisting of pieces of
boards, sacking and similar materials
placed about the field prove inviting.
The pests collect here, and by going
over the field in the early morning
they may be collected in salt water
solution or otherwise destroyed.

underspray nozzle to the lower surface

syrup and enough warm water to make
a coarse mash is very good for cut
worms, and should be equally effective
for slugs. It should be placed in
small heaps about the plants to be
protected.
'tAir slaked lime, 10 parts, with l
part white hellebore powder, scattered
over the soil proves protection
against the slugs, but the application
must be repeated after rain. A
strong salt solution applied to the
slugs will kill them, but it must be
used with care, as the salt will injure
some plants. Cabbage leaves dipped
in grease drippings and placed about
the fields prove attractive bait for the
slugs, which may then be collected
there.
"For the millipeds bits of potato
placed about in the surface soil will
prove an attractive food, and in this
way the sprouting seed may be pro-
tected. 1t would seem that this ma
terial might be poisoned and serve a
double purpose.

Small Fruits for Home and
Cannery.

Answering inquiries, Prof. Victor
Gardner, of the Oregon Agricultural
college, says of small fruits for can
ming and home use:
"There are number of varieties of
blackberries grown for the market in
the Northwest. / am inclined to
think, however, that the bulk of the
larger growers are coming rapidly to
favor the Oregon Evergreen for COM
mercial purposes. This is especially
true where they are growing for the
cannery. The berries of this variety
are very firm and can without falling
to pieces;
which grows wild in q good many
parts of Western Oregon and Wash
ington. Neither the Mammoth nor
the Giant Himalaya have proved to be
as satisfactory as the Everbearing.
The Primus berry as we have seen
it, is very fine fruit for home use,
but is.not-to be grown for the market.
1t is too soft to stand shipping, and is
not productive enough to compete with
some of the other kinds. The Phe-
nomenal berry is apparently distinctly
inferior to the Loganberry. It is a
lighter yielder and q shorter lived
plant.
Dwarf pears could be set between
standard pear trees as filters. The
growing of dwarf fruits, however, has
not been proved to be commercially
