GERMS KILLED BY VINEGAR
Paris Scientists Prove That Typhoid
May BE Avoided This
Way.

Doctors Loir and Legagneux of
Paris have been testing vinegar as a
destroyer of the germs Of typhoid
fever.
That they are killed by mixture of
wine and water in equal parts has long
been known. These Investigators
prove now that 20 grams of vinegar to
liter of water kill the typhoid bactl-
ius in an hour and five minutes.
From this" writes the Paris CORE
spondent of the Lancet, "a practical
Inference may be drawn concerning
salads. After washing the salad as
usual, detaching each leaf, it should
be put into water calculated with ten
grams of vinegar to the liter and re-
main immersed in this liquid for about
an hour and a quarter.
"All vegetables ordinarily eaten I'M
cooked may be subjected without any
inconvenience to the same process.
A liter is equivalent to about quart
and ten grams are equivalent to about
a third of an ounce So, if lettuce or
other green for salad be placed in
water to which about one-third Of an
ounce of vinegar has been added and
be left for about an hour and quar-,
ter, all danger of typhoid fever will be
removed

RUSS ARE ACCUSED

Russians and brought before General
Rennenkampff-and apparently in
keeping with his Infamous orders to
kill all German foresters-was imme-
d1ately shot. Even the aged women
and children did not escape the muir
derous frenzy of the Russian soldier.
The murder OF a little child be-
tween two and three years of age was
particularly cruel. Investigations show
how terrible was the end of a whole
family which fell victims of the Rus
sian soldiers lust for murder; the IA
Their was nailed TO a table, the child
to a door and the mothers breasts
were cut off and her body slit open. In
another instance the tongues of the
husband and wife were nailed to the
table and they finally died.
THE cases of attack upon young
girls and women are innumerable.
Information regarding the cruel
treatment of German prisoners of war
by the Russian troops will be found in
additional appendices. In numerous
cases German soldiers who were taken
prisoners were robbed, spit upon or
otherwise i'll treated without any rea-
son. A Russian officer threatened
some German soldiers with death be-
cause they would not betray their COM
rades, and had one of them actually
shot. Russian troops placed German
prisoners in narrow excavations before
their gun positions, apparently with
the intention that they should be
killed by shots from German guns.
''COssacks have slashed off the heads
of German prisoners as they rode by,
! and others were badly injured; some
were MANNED by having their limbs
cut off. One German prisoner was
bound to a horse gin in a most cruel
manner and allowed to starve to death.
Three hussars were found in a barn
| hanging with their heads down and
noses and ears cut off, Indicating that
they must have died in excruciating
agony,
Russian soldiers have also not hest
| tated to murder and barbarously MAIN
wounded German soldiers. They have
removed bandages from the wounded
that they might bleed to death; others
| eyes have been stabbed out; tongues
ears, fingers and feet have been cut
off and skulls crushed in.
In some cases these brutal deeds
have been performed with ffendist
cruelty. Illustrative of this, a lightly
wounded soldier was found secured tc
the floor of a veranda by a bayoner
stuck through the mouth, the flesh O.
the lower arm was stripped off from
elbow to wrist, the fingers were slit VI
TO the wrist. Another soldier wht
had received a skull injury was 81
bound to a calf in stable that every
time the animal moved its mouth the
exposed brain Of the soldier wa!
| rubbed.
The most atrOcious thing OF all was
the order of the highest Russian mill
tary authority, found on a high Rus
sian officer, which directed that al
! male inhabitants over ten years of age
should be driven before the attacking
| troops; this monstrous order which
| has blackened the name of the Russian
commander in chief forever, was ap
parently issued with the intention tina
German soldiers in repulsing the Rus
SLAMS would be compelled to fire OF
| their own people"

STOP FOREST FIRES
United States Forestry Service
Seeks PubIiG's Cooperation.
Ten "Don'ts" TO Be Observed in the
Woods to Prevent the BIazes
Which Are Causing Big
Losses in East.


Washington To obtain the CO.
operation of the public in preventing
forest fires, which are doing a great
deal of damage in the East this
spring, the United States forest serv-
ice has prepared ten "don'ts" to be
observed in the woods. It is hoped
that these rules may have a beneficial
effect during the fire season of the
southern Appalachians, which is not
yet over, and that of the North woods,
which is just beginning, and which,
from present indications, promises to
be unusually severe.
The "don'ts" follow:
l. Don't throw your match away IN
til you are sure it is out.
2. Don't drop cigarette or cigar
butts until the glow is extinguished.
8. Don't knock out your pipe ashes
while hot or where they will fall into
dry leaves or other infammable ma
terial
4. Don't build a camp fire any larger
than is absolutely necessary.
5. Don't build a fire against a tree,
a log, or a stump, or anywhere but
on bare soil.
s. Don't leave a fire until you are
sure it is out; if necessary, smother
it with earth or water
Z. Don't burn brush or refuse in or
near the woods if there is any chance
that the fire may spread beyond your
+ho+ ho r.2-g
sparks where they would start a new
fire.
s. Don't be any more careless with
fire in the woods than you are with
fire in your own home
9. Don't be idle when you discover
a fire in the woods; if you can't put
it out yourself, get help. Where a
forest guard, ranger or state fire war
den can be reached, call him up on
the nearest telephone you can find.
10. Don't forget that human thought
lessness and negligence are the causes
of more than half of the forest fires
in this country, and that the smallest
spark may start a confagration that
will result in loss of life and destruc-
ton of timber and young growth valu-
able not only for lumber but for their
influence in helping to prevent flood,
erosion and drought.
Many thousands of acres of forest
and suburban woodland from Maine
to Florida, and from the Atlantic
coast as far west as Arkansas, have
been burned over already this spring
by fires which started for the most
part from preventable causes. On the
national forest purchase areas alone,
40 fires occurred in March, burning
over more than $500 acres, while A
fires starting on private land near or
within government boundaries dam
aged nearly $500 acres. Fires in
April were even more numerous and
severe. but rains in the latter part of
the month helped the situation some
what.

Queer ReIuian Nillane.

Surrounded as it is by Dutch terri
tory, Barbecue, a little undefended
Belgian village in the north of the
province of Antwerp, has a unique geo.
graphical position, for the Germans
cannot reach it without violating the
neutrality of Holland. 1t possesses
its post and telegraph Office, in direct
communication with French and Dutch
post Offices, and people in Britain can
easily correspond with Barbecue via
Flushing and Tilbourg (Holland). For
that reason Barbecue post office has
become important, and good use
is being made of that fact in obtain
ing help for the Red Cross society.
Special postage stamps of the value
Of five, ten and twenty centimes, are
being sold at ten, twenty and forty
confines, Of which sums half is set
aside for the Red Cross society. The
post office of Belgian Monaco has OBJ
tanned such celebrity that there is
great demand for these Red Cross
stamps as souvenirs.

WHITE SCHOOL FOR INDIANS
Agency System to Be Ended at White
Earth as Result of Progress
sive Spirit.

White Earth, Minn.-SchooI district
No. 112, in Becker county, has been
created. 1t embraces the whole of the
village of White Earth and vicinity,
and will serve to abolish the present

fed their willingness to transfer the
buildings, now occupied as day
schools, including seats, desks, school
books and other equipment, to the use

1t is not at all improbable that with
in a very few years every Indian
school on the reservation will be
merged under district school manage

The progressive classes generally
are heartily in favor of the district

AMERICAN LABOR BEST
FACT THAT EMPLOYERS ARE
QUICK TO RECOGNIZE.
Foreman Makes Assertion That the
Fastest Workmen Are Found in
New York-PIasterers Men,
toned as a Case in Point.

81 can readily understand said an
employer of labor, that the Glasgow
strike was, as it is reported, caused
by American workmen speeding up
the machines and so turning out more
work than their British fellows; also
that their superior garments worn
while going to and from the shops
caused some dissatisfaction to the
same people. Without going into the
psychology or sociology Of the situa-
ton every employer in this country
recognizes the fact.
4 do not mean, however, that every
best workman is a native son. Ear
from it. Some of the best were born
in other countries, but they learned
their trades here or arrived from their
home lands before they had become
settled in their habits Of labor.
Thrown among fast workers, hey de-
velop the same speed of operation anu
become fine examples of American
workmen
And of all America the city of New
York turns out the best and fastest
of the skilled labor While on my
way to Detroit recently I met in the.
smoking compartment of the Pullman
car German foreman of plasterers
and got into conversation with him.
He was going to the same city to take
charge of a gang of New York plas-
terers who had been sent there to
work on a mansion that was being
built by wealthy man.
81 asked him why his firm sent men
from New York to Detroit, paying
their travelling expenses, instead of
selecting men in that city, and he told
me it was because they could do the
work much better and much faster.
He himself. he said, had been sent to
a number of other cities during his
experience as a foreman and had
never been able to secure from local
talent the same efficiency he could
from New Yorker.
eff you want to get the same
amount of work from them he said,
you have to keep driving them all the
time. What is an ordinary days stint
for a New York plasterer is at least
top speed for the outsider. AS a rule
when he is forced to keep up such
rapid gait he doesn't do the work
well, and sometimes it has to be done
all over again. There is no profit in
that
81 asked him how the American
workman compared with his fellow
from European countries.
Well, he answered, 4 have good
many foreigners under me from one
year TO another; they are not all born
here Neither was l. Naturally
would favor Germans, all other things
being equal, but the foreigner, no mat
ter what his nationality, who comes to
this country a skilled laborer already
can never compare with his brother,
let US say, who epigrated in his youth.
He cannot catch up. He makes sew
eral motions where his brother makes
one to accomplish the same thing, and
SO loses time"

Lived Iona Under Water

A resuscitating machine, such as is
used by the United States government
in mine-rescue work, recently kept a
young woman alive under water for
one hour and ten minutes.
This remarkable feat was performed
during the session Of the safety and
sanitation exposition in New York.
Conducted under the direction of for
mer surgeon Of the United States bu-
reau Of mines, the test was performed
for the purpose of illustrating the eff
cheney Of mechanical respiration.
The breathing mask, which has a
double rubber tube extending to a
hand-operated lung apparatus, was
strapped over the girls nose and
mouth, and she was then placed in a
large glass-front tank.
Though submerged for one hour and
ten minutes, she did no breathing Of
her own accord.

Atrocities Charged to Cars Sol
diers by Germany.
Affidavits to Be Used in Peace Nego
tiations to Prevent Extension of
Muscovite Territory in Europe
Horrors Detailed.
BY OSWALD F. scHUETTE.

Correspondent of the Chicago News.)
Berlin, Germany.-The German gov
eminent has issued an official me-
mortal to the civilized world setting
forth a series of atrocities committed
by Russian troops upon German in
habitants and German prisoners of
war"
The memorial is accompanied by doc
umentary evidence in the shape of 81
affidavits setting forth the testimony
on which the charges are based. They
are far too horrible for publication.
All are to be used against Rus
STA whenever peace negotiations are
begun to halt any possibility of an ex.
tension Of the Russian government in
Europe. The memorial already has
called forth indignant denials from
London.
In part the atrocity record is as fol.
lows:
According to official Investigations
thousands of men, women and chill
dren were dragged away, other thou
sand murdered about 10000 buildings
were destroyed or burned during the
first and second Russian invasions OF
East Prussia. During the second in
vasion alone $4,000 dwellings were
plundered and desolated.
THE inhabitants, including women
and children, were mishandled under
the most flimsy preteXts or for no rea
son at ALL although they did all they
could to satisfy the Russian soldiers
regarding quarters and supplies. This
mistreatment was sometimes carried
out with extreme cruelty; in one case
the male inhabitants of an entire vii
lage, including the district Judge
were hogged and at the same time
threatened with death. Fugitives were
fired upon without any motive. Blu
above all, many peaceful citizens were
murdered without any reason what
ever, some enduring terrible suffering
in the presence of their relatives. In
nocent young men were shot merel!
because they were able to perform
military service.

convicts, was taken prisoner by tn,
