CONTROLLING SYMP-
TOMS IN DIABETES

A technical medical friend said. You
don't cure diabetes; you make them
think they are better and prolong their
lives for a while
Suppose that is true and suppose Mrs.
Kline of San Francisco, a niece of the
late L.. 5. Supreme Justice Stephen j.
Field, was not cured when she had
gangrenous nails and was given but
six months to live when she went on
Fulton's Diabetic Compound sixteen
years ago? Suppose that a test. would
still show some sugar and that she has
even now TO take the compound occas
ionally to keep well?
And suppose that professor in one
of the universities of Virginia who was
given up with Diabetes in 1883 was still
living at last advices in 1912 and had
been performing his duties these twenty
years and over as the result Of this
treatment? Are there not thousands of
diabetes in the United States who
would be delighted to have the same ex-
perience and if they can have 1t don't
they owe II to their families?
II you have Diabetes and are middle

OFFICIALS FACE
LABOR PROBLEM
Indictment Of Miners Union
Heads Is Embarrassing to
Wilson Administration.

Indictment Of President John F. White
and eighteen officials Of the United
Mine Workers of America on the charge
in West Virginia, has put an embarrass-
ing problem up to the Administration.
The question is whether the Depart
ment Of Justice will press the case Or
seek to drop 1t.
Attorney General McReynolds insists
he did not authorize the district at
torney to seek the indictments. Pro-
found ignorance of the whole proceed
ing Is professed at the department
The matter is Of interest because the
President is confronted with signing
or refusing to sign that provision of
the sundry civil bill which forbids use
of funds allotted to the Department Of
Justice for trust prosecutions from
prosecuting any labor organization or
intends to sign this proviso. The West
Virginia prosecution Is looked on as in
consistent with signature of the sundry
civil bill with its exemption provision.
Moreover, Senate committee Is about
ton.
Situation Is Strange.
Should the Department of Justice try
to drop the case and the Senate COM
N1lttee tneH IlEu the IdCtS WdTTduteQ
the indictments, the department would
be left in q strange situation.
The department has not yet indicated
what action II will take. It may let
the matter drift until It Is ascertained
how the Senate inquiry develops.
The Senate subcommitte, headed by
Senator Swanson, will depart for
Charleston tonight. Examination of
witnesses will begin there tomorrow.
Paul J. Paulsen. of the United Mine
Workers, has been In West virginia
for week collecting witnesses, and he
expects to have 100 miners ready to
tell the committe about the charges
Of peonage. abuses by mine guards and
various alleged outrages.
Conspiracy Is Charged.
The indictments against officials of
the mine workers organization, allege
conspiracy with mime operators out
side the west Virginia fields to promote
trouble in the West Virginia fields for
the purpose Of unionizing the mines and
forcing up the West Virginia coal
prices. This is a phase Of the situation
the Senate subcommittee Is empowered
and directed to probe.
Governor Hatfield, Of Charleston, has
given out a statement in which he
says he has not been communicated
with in any way by the Senate commit
tee, and that he knows nothing of its
plans.

FREE LIST BOTHERS
LEADERS OF SENATE
Finance Committee Considers
CountervaiIing Duties on
Meats and Grains.

Senate Democratic leaders. concerned
over the possible effect Of the removal
Of agricultural duties on the farmer
vote. are having hard time Of 1t fix
ing the rates on meats, livestock, -four,
and grains.
The Finance Committee leaders, after
various changes Of front. have con-
cluded to recommend that these articles
shall be admitted free only when the
country Of origin gives free entry to like
American products. In other words,
countervailing duties will be placed on
them. They will come in free from Can
ada, for instance, only II Canada allows
American products Of the same kind to
enter free.
The House provided for free meats
and free flour with duties on live stock
and grain. This raised an uproar. Then
the Senate subcommittee decided to
impose a duty all round. It was un-
derstood the White House would sane
ton this.
But the President opposed 1t and sent
word through Senator Simmons that he
wanted meats and live stock, flour. and
grains on the free list The subcom-
mittee put them on the free list. This
is provoking opposition, and now the
project Of countervailing scheme is
to be tried, so far as the Finance Com
mittee Is concerned. Whether II will
pass the caucus or the House consent
to, II are things not yet determined.
The subcommitte in charge of the
print paper duty Is still wrestling with
1t. The Finance Committee Democrats
have been called to meet Tuesday
morning, and 1t is hoped the different
subcommittee will be ready to report
their work completed by that time.

COLLEGE SURGEON
HELD FOR CRUELTY
Dogs Backs Broken, Others
Tortured by Students, Is
Woman'S Evidence.

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-Dr. ]. E.
Sweet, assistant professor of surgical
research at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, has been held in $500 bail for
court by Magistrate Haggerty, after a
dozen or more witnesses had told stories
OF cruelty to dogs in the vivisection and
experimental laboratories of the uni
versity.
DR.. Sweet was held mainly on the evi-
dence of Miss Henrietta Ford Ogden, a
society woman, of s01 North Nineteenth
street, who admitted that every Friday
for six months she had crawled through
a hole in a fence so that she could gain
entrance to the kennels of the univers-
ity. and obtain evidence.
Kiss Ogden declared that In the last
two years she had purchased more than
500 dogs from the university kennels to
prevent them from being operated on.
She found homes for many of these ant
mails, and those she failed to provide
for she killed by painless chloroform
method which she had invented.
Dogs Backs Broken.
The exhibition of a machine which
the prosecution alleged was used to
smash the backbone of dogs called forth
a scathing rebuke from Magistrate
Haggerty.
There is nothing too severe" he de-
clared, for a person who would use
a device like that. 1t is almost impos-
sible to believe that civilized human
being coulo torture a dog with an i'll
fernal machine of that kind"
The machine was demonstrated by
Attorney Scott. 1t resembled a dim
inutive gallows. A heavy iron weight
was operated in such a fashion on ropes
and pulleys tha. il would descend with
sufficient force, 1t IS alleged,to break
the backbone of a cog.
No Medical Attention.
That the same dog was frequently
operated on two and three times was
testified to by Guyer, the kenneIman;
Miss Henrietta ogden. and her sister
Miss Bertha ogden. They also de-
clsred that dogs were fed on garbage
polluted BIZ human bandages, and sell

ing operations Mrs William II. Roole.
4 society woman, ties titled to witnessing
cases of cruelty in the dog kennels.
Miss Henrietta F. Ogden said that she
did not adopt the method of entering
The dog kennels through hole in the
fence at the university until the officials
discovered that she was purchasing
dogs from Guyer, the janitor, to prevent
them from undergoing the tortures Of
vivisection.

Found Way Through Fence.


Miss Ogden admitted that she was in
a auandary as to how she would con-
tinue her Investigations at the univer-
sity when the officials stopped fer
Waits.
Luckily she said, II found a loose
board in the fence near the kennels. By
removing this ! was able to crawl
through and resume getting evidence
without being disturbed. OF course, Mr.
Guyer assisted me-"
do you remember on September "a
1911. seeing a black mongrei dog after
Il had been operated on?' asked Attor-
ney Scott
"Yes, II was terrible to behold The
animals legs had been cut and clumsily
sewed up. The wounds were badly in
famed. 1t was lying on the cement
foor OF its kennel, and had no bedding.
The only food it had was garbage"
Miss Ogden told of an operation On
white puppy by DR.. Eisenbrey in the
latter part of June. 1912. She said that
she observed a semi-circle cut on the
animals back. She declared that the
animal had lost control of its hind legs
and was whirling about its kennel.
Suffered for Four Months.
How long was the dog left in that
condition." asked Attorney Scott.
Miss Ogden described the condition of
another dog she said was operated on
by DR.. Eisenbrey- She declared that
the animals hind legs were stretched
out stiff behind, and that il could NOT
move them. She said that the dog mad
no medical attention and no bedding to
lie upon.
fGuyer, formerly janitor at the uni
versity testified that he had seen fifteen
or twenty dogs with their spines
crushed by a machine similar to the
one exhibited in the court room.
Dogs Starved In Cage.
Guyer described a cage, which he said
was devised by DR.. Ringer, in which
to starve dogs until they died. He told
of one dog that was kept without food
for six weeks in the cage. The animal
died. The witness declared that on
February IL, 1911, DR.. Rose instructed
him to place dog in the cage and keep
il without food until IL died
Guyer said he was formerly in charge
of the Rockefeller Institute kennels,
and he admitted that conditions were
worse in the kennels there than they
we're at the university.

THE USE OF cRossTIEs.

The census bureau has Just issued
a bulletin in which It reports the
number and Kind of crossties pur.
chased b. the Railways of the United
States during the year 1911 This
number, Tincluding the purchases Of
both steam and electric lines, amount
{ ing to 35,Oj3.00O and represented a
decrease Of 13.17S,OO0 as compared
with the number purchased i'm 1910,
but is over 100000 in excess of the
number reported fer 1909. l. signil-
cant feature Of the 1911 purchases is
that only 100000 were for new
traek-thc lowest percentage since
1908. The number purchased In 1910
for the same purpose. was approx
mately 100000.
Ten kinds of wood supplied 95 per
cent. of all ties purchased. These are
the oaks the hard southern pines,
Douglas fir, cedar, chestnut, cypress,
tamaraek. hemlock, Western pine and
red wood.
Brunswick makes a specially of
shipping chossties and the report for
even 1911 shows that our port leads.
Since that time Brunswick has be-
come the actual first crosstie port
of the world.
The subject of tie preservation is
dealt with in the bulletin. which
states that OF the 1l2 treating plants
of all classes in 1912, nearly 80 per
cent were well equipped and operated
in representative sections Of the /
country from coast to coast although !
chiefly in the Eeastern states. Many
Of these plants treat pilng, poles, |
construction timbers, paving blocks,
ETC.. besides crossties.
