ODD CAUSES OF INTERROGATION
Fruit and Vegetables Capable Of Hav-
Ing Disastrous Effect on the
Nervous System.

Those who cannot resist the tempta-
ton of too many strawberries should
not be surprised If they are attacked
with fruit drunkenness" for 1t is
an extraordinary fact that the excess
i've eating of strawberries often re-
suits in many of the sensations con-
nected with alcohol attacking the eat
er. These symptoms consist of gid
diness, headache, blurred sight and &C.
casionally double vision.
For strawberries contain far more
acid than most of the other fruits in
season at the same time, and this
Juice acts very quickly on the nervous
system, especially in the case of stout
and full-blooded people. Excessive
rhubarb eating can also produce symp-
toms of intoxication, owing to the
excess of oxalic acid which turks in
this fruit.
But this is only one of the many
ways in which symptoms of drunken
ness can be developed, apart from ex-
cess Of alcohol. 1t is quite possible
to become temporarily intoxicated by
excess of emotion, whether it be sor-
row, Joy or music.
The explanation is that deep emo
ton deranges the nerve centers, which
are thrown out of unison with each
other, so that such actions as walking
and talking become difficult An in
valid who lives on diet for come con-
siderable time, and then suddenly has
a huge meal, can quite easily get
symptoms Of drunkenness on chop or
steak
Strong coffee on an empty stomach
also produces results similar to alco-
hol, whilst the fumes of turpentine
are very liable to render you light
headed. Recently six men were re-
duced to rolling condition while
unloading cargo of this spirit from
Q barge at Bristol. England.

WILD W0LF-D0GS

Ferocious Pack Prey Upon South

DEV0UR LIVE STOCK
Imported Russian Bloodhound Disap-
pears After a Bloody Lashing by
Master and Forms Alliance With
WoIf-Offsprins vindictive.

Duenweg, Mo.-Stories OF the ma
rauding expeditions of a pack of
wolve-dogs were given a new turn
recently when four of the eight chill
dren of William Gather, a prospect
driller living five miles southeast of
Duenweg, Mo, were attacked by the
beasts.
The presence of their plucky shep-
herd dog and their own courage in as
sailing the animals with clubs and
stones saved them from injury. Roy
Osborne, living five miles from Duen-
veg, was less fortunate. few weeks
ago the animals freed him in a lone
sapling in the prairie. where he re-
manned until morning, when he was
able to summon help.
The animals presence in the iso-
lated scrub oak and prairie region
Grove Creek district dates back to a
period about six years ago. and the
great-grandmother of the entire pack
was a ferocious Russian bloodhound
imported by Joseph Walker. a mine
operator OF Duenweg. about eight
years ago. The beast could never be
controlled, and finally after the crea-
ture had received a bloody flashing at
the hands of her master she disap.
peared. and In the course of time
there was evidence that the blood
hound had formed an alliance with
a wild wo'f, of which there were a few
scattered specimens in the woods at
the time.
But IL the original wild wolves and
the original Russian bloodhound had
been vicious, then their offspring be-
came the acme Of vindictiveness, and
1t appeared that their mission in life
was to avenge the beatings that the
luckless bloodhound had received
during her brief but checkered career
In the little mining city.
Twenty farmers will vouch that the
wolf-dogs carried off their chickens.

No ear for Music"

DR.. Birman-Bera, after making a
study Of the ears of famous musicians,
has come to the conclusion that the
construction Of that organ has little
to do with ones musical appreciation,
and that it is not necessary to have
even normal ear-drums to become a
finished musician
DIR. Birman-Bera says that his obser.
vations have shown that composers
as a class have erect, almost vertical
ear-drums, and that other musicians
other than composers have ear-drums
the position Of which varies from the
slanting to the vertical, including all
intermediate forms. Whether Dr. Biz
man-Bira's discovery will result in the
discarding of that handy and much
used phrase. AN ear for music" OF
course, remains to be seen.

Don't Ride In the Ruts.

"Don't ruin the roads by riding In
ruts," should be the motto of every au-
tomobilist Rut riding is one of the
greatest causes of poor roads today and
is something that everyone should strive
TO avoid. We cry for good roads but We
do little on our part TO help maintain
them and keep them good after once we
get them. Rut riding is the result OF
ignorance or the rankest kind OF thought
lessness; 90 cases out Of 100 the latter.
Newly constructed roads develop ruts
much more quickly than old pieces OF
highway, and for this reason automo-
bilists should use greater care to ride all
over the road rather than to follow in
the tracks Of the man who has gone
ahead of him. Even after deep ruts
have developed, there is no excuse Tor
riding in them, and in the majority OF
cases, IL il far easier tn ride with one
wheel in the center and one wheel on
the extreme edge Of the road. The rid
ing Is far smoother and in addition, 1t is
very much safer. Every city and town
can show many examples Of where rut
riding has ruined an excellent piece OF
road 10 comparatively short time. IL
automobilists on these same stretches oil
highway had travelled all over the road
instead OF following 10 the tracks OF the
man ahead, they would have been I'M
proved instead of ruined.

Will Close Out the Norway Shop.
THE b. f. sPINNEY co. TO GO OUT OF
BUSINESS IN THAT TOWN.

1t is definitely settled, according to in
formation received by the Norway Board
of Trade last week, that b. F. Spinney
Il Co. will wind up the business of max
ing shoes in the Norway factory, and
after the stock now on hand is worked
up, which it is expected will take about
three months, the firm will 60 into liqui-
dation.
This move is directly due to the death
of l.. P. Bartlett of Lynn, Mass, few
weeks since. The head of the firm Is b.
+. Spinuey Of Lynn, now over 50 years OF
age, who started the business in the Nor
way shop about forty years ago. For
many years Mr.. Bartlett had been asso-
ciated with him, and much of the time
had been in immediate charge OF the
Norway plant.
In consequence of the death of Mr..
Bartlett, and the desire of his widow to
realize on his interest in the concern, an
examination of the plant and affairs OF
the company has been made. B. F.
Spinuey, his son Frank Spinuey, George
Faunce, partner of the latter in the shoe
manufacturing business in Lynn, and
others, have recently been in Norway,
but gave no intimation with regard to
what move would be made until the
Board of Trade was informed few days
since.
Frank Spinney is interested In a shoe
manufacturing business In Lynn, and it
was hoped that il B. F. Spinney & Co.
went out of the Norway factory, the firm
of Faunce & Spinney might be induced
to transfer their business to the Norway
factory, but efforts toward that end were
unavsiling.
Since the shoe factory was established
ip Norway, it has employed several hun
dred hands and has been the leading in
dustry Of the town. While the dscon-
tiuuauce of the business is a setback to
the town, 1t is felt that so large and we'll
equipped plant will not be allowed to
remain permanently idle, and vigorous
endeavor will be made by the citizens of
Norway to induce some other concern to
occupy il.

Fake Consumption "Cures. !"

Within the last five years no less than
500 fraudulent "cures" for consumption
have been tried upon thousands OF VIC
Tins in the United States, and the ex-
ploiters of these uostrums have reaped
clear profit Of not less than $4,000, 900.
This is an estimate made by The Nation
al Association for the Study and Proven
ton of Tuberculosis.
The National Association estimates
that not less than 500, 900, 900 is invested
in the business of manufacturing and ex-
plotting fake cures for tuberculosis, and
that the annual income from these con-
Germs and individuals il $l5, 0OO, 900.
About one-thrd of this amount is spent
for advertising, leaving profit of Sl0,-
900, 900 year, which is "blood money"
taken from ignorant consumptives.
Three kinds of consumption cure
frauds are distinguished by the Associa-
ton, the irst being the the ''institute"
fraud, where pseudo hospital or dis
pensary is established aud the willy doc
tor" or professor" administers treat
ments" at so much per head. These
concerns also carry on mail order bust.
ness with great profit. The second
group of cures contains over hundred
different kinds of drugs and "patent"
devices, any of which may be purchased
at drug store. Usually the consump.
tive is charged from Sl.0O to $500 for
these and the institute "cures," when be
could make them up himself in exactly
the same form for from one to five cents.
The third group of "cures" includes
home made remedies, which certain self
deluded individuals believe will cure tn
berculosis. Among them are such
things as onions, lemons, coal smoke,
pigs blood, alcohol, dog oil, teas OF vari-
Gus kinds, and variety of diets, includ-
ing goats meat, clsbbered milk and
score of other articles. These are. not
usually advertised for profit, but are u.s.
ually given publicity in various ways.
The consumptive is the most hopeful
individual in existence when the ques-
ton of cure Is suggested. The Ma
tional Association has stated that no
specific cure for tuberculosis has been
discovered, except the well-tried bygien.
