CLAIM DEATH IS NOT PAINFUL
Although Family Fled From Wit
MESSING His Distress

uSochu9 fIto Oiot'Coo
London-The experience of Lon
don man who recovered after several
hours in such serious condition that
his physicians declared he was dying
seems to explode the theory that
is any agony connected with death.
His son declares, in an interview in
London Papers, that through the night
his father groaned, painted and
breathed with difficulty that members
of the family could not remain in the
room and witness what they thought
was terrible suffering Yet in the
morning the sick man revived and de-
clared he had spent a comfortable
night. One eminent London doctor
says:
'The suffering OF people about to
die is lessened by Inconsistencies SUI
pervening in a vast majority OF
cases."
Other physicians declare that death
is not painful as they have seen 1t.
When a man is run down by a train
or falls from high building. one
physician declares, he does not suf-
fer nearly as much as the spectators.
81 am well convinced" he con-
tinued, that if a newly-born infant
and a man who has just died could
compare their experiences the former
would prove to have been the suf-
ferer'

A PROSE POEM

! We'd like to write a little rhyme
about the steady man, who keeps on

he can; the man who early goes to
work and doesn't get home till late;
who doesn't ever try to shirk in order
to be great. There are some fellows
who will try to DO their business
tricks and have finger in the pie Of
city politics; they try to put on lots
of style and play heavy role, and in
a little bit o. while you find them in

Kan, Spends Her Spare Time
Hunting
EIillsboro, Kan.-To the fact that
she spent most of her life in the open,
Mrs. Chas. Broker ascribes her pres
ent perfect health. Aged So years, this
woman is the marvel of the neigh
borhood where she lives, south of
here, alone on farm. She does all
her own farm work, and is Marion
County's oldest hunter.
Frequently she takes her shotgun
which is an old-fashioned muzzle-load-
ing affair, and tramps off across the
fields hunting. She seldom comes
home without all the game she can
carry, despite the fact that the young
er generation, which uses automatic
magazine guns, find the game hard
to locate.
Coming with her husband to Kan
sas more than forty years ago from
farm on which she now lives. She
became widow fifteen years ago, and
instead of moving to town and trust
ing the farm to the care of a tenant
she decided to remain and run it her.
self. She works in the fields, does the
milking and other chores and calls on
the men only when the farm work
becomes pressing that she cannot do
II all without assistance. Her step is
quick and she stands as erect as she
was when she first began doing mans
work.
Scarcely a days illness has married
her life.

LOOK OUT FOR FAKE CURES
Government Has Not Approved Any
Hog Cholera Treatment Except
Protected Serum.

Washington, D. c., June 9.-Evi-
dence Of what appears to be we'll
organized campaign to delude farmers
throughout the country into buying
an alleged cure for hog cholera, under
the impression that this has been in
vestigated and approved by the United
States Government, has reached the
Department Of Agriculture. Articles
praising this medicine, Benetol by
name, are being sent out widespread
to newspapers. These articles are so
worded that it appears as if the De-
partment of Agriculture had received
reports from the State of Minnesota
showing that the medicine had proved
most beneficial. AS a matter of fact
the one report received by the Depart
ment was an unofficial and unsolicited
statement sent presumably from the
promoters themselves. The Depart
ment attaches no importance whatso-
ever to this statement. 1t has no rea-
son to believe in the efficiency of any
proprietary cure for hog cholera and
does not recommend any. Under GER
tain conditions it urges farmers to
protect their stock with anti-hog- -chol-
era serum. but that is all.
In connection with this ATTEMPT it
may be said that the medicine, which
is now put forward as good for hogs,
was advertised some time ago as a
means of killing tuberculosis, typhoid.
and cancer germs, according to an ar
ticle published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association. At
that time it was asserted that the
Army was interested in it. AS mat
ter of fact the Army was no more in
terested then than the Department of
Agriculture is now.
In view of the evidence that the at
tempt to create this false impression
is persistent and widespread, all hog
owners are warned to communicate
with the United States authorities
before accepting as true any state
ment that the Government recon-
mends any treatment otler than the
serum already mentioned.

SUNDAY IS FLAG DAY
Patriotic People Should Take Interest
Enough to Unfurl "Old Glory"
to the Breeze.

One day in each year is designated
as flag day" and patriotic citizens
and organizations unfurl the stars and
stripes to the world on this date.
Sunday, June IA, is flag day this year.
The Ladies of the W. R. C. take an
active interest in the movement es
one of the duties of the order is to
promote patriotic instruction, and the
members of Palmer Post W. R. C.
urge all good citizens in Sauk Centre
to display the flag on this occasion.
The American flag floats today the
wonder Of the civilized nations. To-
day its 13 little stars ar multiplied
to a magnificent 48, and upon its do
minions the sun never SEES.
With never a loss of a star, but
constant gains, with no stain upon its
stripes of crimson and white, it floats
in rainbow radiance upon the winds
of blood bought freedom, loved and
venerated at home, respected and
feared abroad; the type of all that is
highest and holiest in human aspira-
tions; emblem of all that is brightest
and best in human achievement.
1t floats today over nearly one
tenth of the earth's dry land. One
twentieth of the whole number of the
people of the world give it proud allie
glance. Inconceivably more men have
fought for it, than for any other flag
in existence Many more have died for
it than for any other flag. That
which it represents has brought more
happiness, prosperity, and higher
moral elevation to greater number
of people than has any other flag.

is putting up lively campaign but
the Herald has confidence of the cool
judgment of the people prevailing

( The contest for Railroad and ware
house commissioner is badly mixed.
The Herald is supporting James Ar
neson for the place from the fact that
we believe he is the best qualified of
the three. He was auditor and judge
of probate of Grant county for many
years and made good in all positions
of public trust. He is a newspaper
man of experience and there is not a
crooked hair in his head. The Herald
would advise the voting for Mr..
Arneson for first choice and O. P. B.
Jacobson for second choice in this
contest.
There are six candidates for the
