Blanks to be used in relation to the workmen's compensation act, that goes into effect January 1, 1914, have been received at the town clerks office. The law reads "That it is as
 sumed both employer and employee accept the terms of the act or law, if no protest or refusal is made to the commissioner before Jan. 1st, 1914. ,"
 During the past month W.P. Beech ing has had several encounters with a large buck deer in his morning trips to school. The school children have on several occasions witnessed this same buck bound across the meadows below the schoolhouse. On Monday morning the school children witnessed fight on the Moore's meadows be- tween this buck and MT Moore's dog
 Turko. The buck paid very little at- tention to the dog at first, but for the poor footing for the deer the dog would have been killed eventually.
 As it was, the fight ended in a draw, the buck leaving the meadow after MT. Moore started for the scene.
 No doubt in twenty five years from now the children who saw the event will be in sympathy with humane treatment of our wild deer, and will take pleasure in viewing these beauti- 1 full animals in the forest preserves of the state, where a fence will protect I the deer from the dogs, and also pro- teot the grower of produce from hav- ing to raise the deer on fancy garden truck and apple tree buds, that some good but minimizing people may pose Las lovers of nature in their present scheme of deer protection.

Toward the end of the eighteenth century outstanding feathers became quite the rage for the fashionable wO- mans headgear. A writer in the Lon don Times of 1795 illustrates the epi- demic: At all elegant assemblies there is room set apart for the ladies to don their feathers, as it is inn S,ssible to wear them in any carriage with q top. The 1usters are also removed on this account, and the doors are carried up to the ceiling. A well dressed lady who mods with deXterity can give a friend little tap upon the shoulder across the room without incommoding the dancers. The ladies' feathers are now generally carried in the sword case at the back of the carriage"

Industrial Committee Of Seven
Members.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 6.-Sen-
ator Bristow of Kansas presented to
the senate today a proposal for an
industrial commission of seven mem
bers that will cover the work of the
bureau of corporations and exercise
control over all persons, firms and
corporations doing an interstate bus
mess with gross receipts of over
five million dollars annually.
He said the bill proposed a body
similar to the interstate commerce
commission and to have the same
power over industrial concerns that
the latter exercises over transpor'
tation companies.
"The purpose is to protect the
people with the same degree OF
promptness from extortionate prac-
tices of powerful corporationse with
out destroying theb usiness they rep
resent" he said.

POSITIVE CURE FOR
BATTLING DISEASE
INFANTlLE PARALYSIS CURE IN
DORSED BY PHYSICIANS AFTER
DEMONS1 RATION.

Chicago, H., Jan. DIR. Roy Ber-
Eard of 4721 Champlain avenue, who
announced two weeks ago that he lad
discovered a positive cure for infan-
tile paralysis, made public his meth
DDS and won the Endorsement of a
group of Chicago physicians at Lake
side hospital last night.
Exclamations of wonder by the wit
Messing doctors followed the clinic
They expressed their belief that DR.
Bernard has found the cure which has
baffled science and in the pursuit OF
which the Rockefeller Institute and
many other colleges of medical re-
search have spent years of study.
Two little boys, one years of age
and the other years, were the pa
tents at the clinic. Both had been
cured by the physician; one had suf-
fered entire paralysis of the right
limb and the other was paralyzed in
both limbs.
When not stripping off their jackets
to permit the physician to swing the m
through the air, his arms under their
aIm-pits and hands pressing the
ninth, tenth and eleventh dorsal YER
tabrae of their spines, the little boys
ran about the room as any other nor
ral little boys would, or sat in their
rother's laps and nodded sleepily.
DR.. Bernard explained that by ap-
plying this pressure he caused an eX-
tension of the twelfth dorsal verta-
rae, the largest part of the enlarge
ment of the spinal cord.
For the enlightenment of laymeu
present he explained that this sim
Fly enhanced circulation in the dis
cased parts and permitted nature to
effect the cure.

Zero Weather Inquiries About Sum-

Saturday was balmy and spring.
like. The roosters crowed, the hens
cackled and the egg market broke
several points, with the thermometer
registering sixty-seven. But this
morning-not crow was heard, not
an egg was found and the cold stor-
age fruit began working overtime in
sky high prices.
With the advent of day, this morn
ing the mercury was lowering around
the zero mark-registering fifteen
above. At noon, after valiant
struggle, the sun had only gained
three degrees over the Rocky Noun
tain wind and seemed satisfied if
it could hold its own, And that
wind! From every crack and cor
ner, through every key hole, under
every door it whispered and whis-
tied and sought information regard
ing the disposition we might have
made of our last summers salaries.
According to the weather man, the
worst is yet to come. The forecast
predicts that the mercury will be
flirting with zero by daylight tomor-
row morning while the little fluries
of snow may settle down to a gen.
uine storm. Fortunately the cold
spell is "dry one" Had the fall
in the temperature have been accom-
panied by a sleet storm the cattle
loss would probably have run as high
through southern Oklahoma as it did
during the extreme weather Of
year ago.
The cold wave, according to re-
ports, seems 10 be a general one
which comes from the extreme north
west and will, before its crest is
reached, extend all over the COM
try.
