ORDERS SANDWICH
BUT Gets A STEAK
Edwin Anderson Refuses to Pay
for 1t and Near Riot Ensues
in Restaurant.

Edwin Anderson stepped into the
Charles HaIpern restaurant and cafe at
All Fourteenth street last evening and
ordered hamburger sandwich, but in
stead of getting a sandwich he got a
hamburger steak, and thereby hangs a
tale.
The steak was not to Andersol's lik-
ing, and upon giving it tle once over
he made a hasty exit through the front
door of the cafe without so much as
touching it. The proprietor leaped
over the counter, pursued his customer
and brought him back with instruc-
tfons to eat the steak and pay for it
or pay for it and not eat it; at any
rate the proprietor was bound to get
his money. Anderson consented to eat
it, and sat down, while the proprietor
again resumed his interrupted duties
behind the counter. But second time
the customer ran from the front door,
was pursued by Halpern and brought
back to consume the steak. This time.
however. he refused and a fight en-
sued. During the scrap some one acct
dentally smashed the plate glass win
dow in the front of the store, though
declares it was done when
somebody tried to hit him with the
ham burger steak, but missed and i. hit
the window. Then the police were
called, and the battle of Halpern's cafe
came to sudden finish.
This tale was divulged in police
court this morning, and Anderson was
fined 81 and costs for disturbing the
peace.

Children have primitive and even
savage intolerance of physical de-
formity. Unfortunate fellow beings,
victims of Gripping disease, inspire
loathing where one might hope to find
love and pity amongst civilized peo-
pie. While adults may have better
control of themselves, their humanity
is largely artificial and hence is ex-
tremely fragile.
In Boston there is magnificent
school for the training Of crippled chill
dren. Pursuits and training are de-
vised to make these handicapped chill
dren self-supporting and self-respect.
ing citizens. A bus is provided to
carry the children to and from school
Some children couldn't come other
wise.
The principal told me during visit
that even those who could walk with
the aid of crutches were often not safe
urchins attacked them, tainted them,
and even snatched their crutches
away and left them helpless.
1t is generally accepted as fact
that the viciousness of some famous
cripples has been defensive in part,
and in part retaliation for real
fancied insults.
A considerable proportion of de-
formity is preventable; practically all
can be lessened or compensated. Hip
disease and bunch backs, and most
stiff joints in children, are due to tu-
berculosis. Cure of the disease and
prevention of the deformity call for
foot, in infancy, is, under proper
treatment, over sufficiently long
period, entirely durable.
Infantile paralysis is incurable, but
much of the deformity can be prevent
ed and corrected. One of the most
ingenious of operations has been de
vised for the purpose. 1t consists in
reattaching muscles in manner
which compels the unaffected mus
cles to do the work of the paralyZed
ones.
Spinal curvature is most stubborn
deformity unless intelligent treatment
is begun Immediately when it is dis
covered. In this stage it is usually to
be remedied by simple corrective
gymnastics persistently carried out.
Bow legs and knock knees are i'm
portant mainly as they affect the ap-
pearance of their owner. In the pres
ent struggle for existence child
should be freed every possible handi-
cap. A mis-shapen body is a terri
BILE handicap. In addition to their
own Importance, deformities prepare
the soil for other diseases which may
be due to unnatural living conditions
as regard exercise, etc.
The children's Hospital of Milwau-
kee (philanthropic), the State Public
School for Dependent Children and
the Milwaukee County hospital are
public institutions in Wisconsin
equipped and manned to treat de-
formities. No deformity, no matter
of how long standing, should be as
sumed to be incapable of improvement,
except upon the advice of compe-
tent surgeon.

U. S. ISSUES WARMING
Alleged Hog Cholera Cure Offered fol
Sale

Sale
Evidence of what appears to be a
well organized campaign to delude
farmers throughout the country into
buying an alleged cure for hog chol-
era, under the impression that this
has been Investigated and approved
by the United States government, has
reached the Department of Agricul-
ture. Articles praising this medicine,
Benetol by name, are being sent out
widespread to newspapers. These ar
tfcles are so worded that it appears
as if the Department of Agriculture
had, received reports from the State
of Minnesota showing that the medi>
cine had proved most beneficial. AS a
matter of fact the one report received
by the department was an unofficial
statement sent presumably from the
promoters themselves. The depart
ment attaches no Importance whatso-
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-
cholera 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
article published in the Journal of
the American Medical association. At
that time it was asserted that the
army was interested in it. AS a 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 be-
fore accepting as true any statement
that the government recommends any
treatment other than the serum al
ready mentioned.

WANAMAKER ON DAILY ADS
Advises Merchants to Use NeWspa-
pers as Best Means of Reach
nq the Public.

John Wanamaker gave frank and
earnest counsel, the result of his life
time Of experience in successful mer-
chandising, at the opening Of the pure
food exposition in Philadelphia recent
ly. Mr.. Wanamaker urged especially
the absolute necessity of newspaper
advertising for an expanding trade and
told of the remarkable results that
can be accomplished by proper pub
Hcity.
1.-THE first necessity to success in re-
tail trade" Mr. Wanamaker said, lis,
of course, good merchandise. Quite as
much necessity to a business that is
to keep up healthy growth is good
advertising. If you have in your shop
exactly what 100000 people in this city
want, but only 500 of them know that
you have it, the care and energy you
have expended in maintaining a stock
of high quality do little good either to
your customers or to your own busi-
ness.
THE satisfaction of knowing that
your name stands for good merchan-
disc Is great thing certainly, but it Is
not apt to be greatly profitable unless
the public at large knows ii also. And
the profit of judicious and Well-justi-
fled advertising does not exist merely
for the large merchant. A large news
paper advertisement undoubtedly at
tracts attention, and If It is attractive
ly put it holds attention.
But there are hundreds Of small
dealers throughout the city who would
find upon experiment that newspaper
advertising is the most powerful of all
means for increasing their trade.
"a business association as such can
make use of newspaper advertising to
Increase the trade of it's Individual
members and the increase is such as
would surprise you. Business men
should mark each other up, instead of
marking each other down."
