HIKES BACK TO WILDERNESS.
Minnesota Baby Moose Will Not
Adorn Washington Zoo.

The baby moose captured recently in
the streets of Duluth will not adorn the
washington Zoo. The reason is plain, and
ieaos straight to his native woods. He
did not like the quarters in which he was
confined at Duluth and got away The
authorities at the Zoo here opened nego-
tiations for him. but before they could be
concluded the baby had linked" back to
the wilderness.
However. that does not mean that the
washington Zoo viii be mooseless. There
Is one specimen there now, doing as well
as moose usually does in captivity.
The object in getting the baby was
largely to have a-reserve stock of moose
on hand for emergencies. There are just
as good moose in the Minnesota woods as
ever came out of them. and 1t Is likely
.nat as long as this particular one is no
longer available. the state authorities
Will be induced to procure another that
Will be put on exhibition here.

mitted to work. Such regulations are at
present enforced in Hungary. Systematic
examinations should be made of all
cases of anaemia in laborers, working in
mines. tunnels and other large excava-

early as possible. Only boiled, well
filtered chemically treated water
should be drunk.
Green fruits and vegetables should be

Miners should under no circumstances
be allowed to work barefooted and peO-

careful washing of the hands before eat

use Of sound shoes Is to be emphasized,
as the embryo worms can penetrate
