There's n effective way to relieve

Much has been written in recent
years regarding the almost criminal
ignorance of the general public in the
use of wood alcohol, and it's injurious
effect not only on eyesight, but on life
itself. The Importance of adequate
protection of the public in this regard
is emphasized by a recent tragedy in
New York City. Three women died
and two were made dangerously i'll
from drinking homemade wine at a
wedding feast. The wine was made
by the bridegroom and was drunk by
the two hundred guests present. The
recipe for the beverage, the police say
was sugar, water, alcohol and a red
and green coloring matter. 1t was
first thought that the women were suf-
fering from ptomaine poison, but the
coroner's physician pronounced death
to be due to alcohol poisoning, and the
police declared that the wine was made
with wood alcohol. This dangerous
poison often kills and even when the
life of the victim is spared, he is gen.
orally blinded for the rest of his life

NEARBY NOTES OF INTEREST

1t rather wearies one to read that
Frederick Weyerhauser, the lumber
king, of st. Paul, who has just died,
the richest man in the world" won
his way by industry and wonderful
business foresight" In point of fact
all that he did was to take for his own
what the Almighty intended for all the
people and then sell it back to the peo-
pie at his own price. The various
corporations he controlled have 80
900 900 acres of timber land worth a
billion and a half dollars. Children
yet unborn will live to see their chill
dren paying tribute to his estate be-
cause the public let him take timber
he had no part in growing and put the
profits in his pockets. The world
walked up to the injustice of this
too late to stop the Weyerhauser in
justice-but not too late to prevent
his course being initiated on such a
scale.-Argus Leader.

Huron has been entertaining a siege
of smallpox and the board of health
last week closed the schools and pic
ture shows, and all public gatherings
were called off, including church ser.
vices. This move was taken as a pre-,
caution against the further spread of
the disease. All sorts of rumors have
been af1oat as to the number of cases
in the city but the Huronite states
that there are but twenty-five and all
of them mild. Hitchcock, Worthwhile
and a number of other towns have also
had a few cases.-Iroquois Chief.
