Experiment at U. Of p. Proves Hun.
dreds Of Operations Arc Needless.
Philadelphia. Alonzo E. Taylor,
professor of physiological chemistry at
the University of Pennsylvania, and
forty-five medical students are on a
sugar diet and daily undergoing blood
tests in an endeavor to establish a sug-
ar index by which physicians may
positively ascertain before recommend
ing operations whether blindness In q
patient is or Is not due to a brain tu-
NOR.
So far the experiment has proved, it
is said, that hundreds Of brain opera
lions have been performed needlessly.
The method Of diagnosing brain
tumor up to date has been based on
the assumption that person suffering
from that disease could take sugar
continually, the belief being that all
Of it was absorbed by the tumor. Many
medical men regard this test as def
cient. Now it is shown that perfectly
healthy and normal young men can as
simulate just as much sugar without
harmful effect to their systems.

GOOD HOUSE FOR "H1GH JINKs''

The orchestra that accompanied the
singers in the High Jinks'' company
was little too loud for the size of the
hall and somewhat spoiled the effect of
the very good voices for those Of the
audience who had chosen the high up
seats. There were some splendid voices
among the chorus and the several lead
ing roles but they were not strong enuf
to overcome the handicap of the drum
mer's efforts and this caused some dis
satisfaction among the second floor
audience. Those who had seats in the
parquet and dress circle had no COM
plant of that sort to make and enjoyed
the production hugely. The chorus girls
were pretty and shapely and each seemed
to fill necessary place in the play.
The chorus men were less essential but
made background for the girls costumes
which were much prettier than the small
Ter theatres are accustomed to while
the costumes of the leading women were
really wonders of the dressmakers' art.
And then the music! Tuneful and
catchy are the only words we have to
decribe it's sort but they are not suf-
fcient. Whenever the orchestra glided
into the bars Of the "Tingle-ingle-ing" ),
song the audience held it's breath to
catch the first sound of the singers voice
taking up the words. There were too
many good parts to mention all, and there
was not an awkward or stiff member in
the cast. There was some exception
ally good dancing, by one and another
of the company, the best probably being
that of the toe-dancer down on the
bill as "Chi- Chi. Effective outdoor
scenery added to the attractions of the
production. A large house greeted the
players.

Illness had been the lot Of the young
man for nearly all his life as he was never
strong even as a boy and the past few
months had been time of great suffer-
ing and distress. An injury in early
youth led to curvature of the spine which
later caused pressure upon the kidneys
and developed acute trouble ending in
death by dropsy. He had been confined
to his bed for weeks.
The deceased was born in New Ulm
July 9Th, 1885 and was therefore only
80 years old at the time of his death.
He had always made his home here,
working as a young man in various
positions that his frail health would
permit. For the past several years
he had been unable to do any steady
labor but was well known about the city
as a person who could be relied on to do
faithfully any small work that he could
accomplish. His smile and CHEEKY
manner were remarkable and was liked
by all who had any dealings with him
because he was never known to grumble
over an unkind fate that had given him.
nothing OF the good things Of life except
the love of his friends and family.
During his suffering he was likewise
cheerful even to the last days.
The deceased is the first Of large
family to answer the summons with the
exception of brother who died in
infancy. The surviving brothers and
sisters are Charles, Jr., William, Roman,
Mrs. Ella Brand, Mrs. Frank Temple,
and Helen, all of New Ulm, and Mrs.
Paul Kann of Des Moines, Ia. and Mrs.
Arthur Blake of Eagle Lake, Minnesota.
Both father and mother also survive to
mourn his death.
The funeral was held Friday afternoon
from the St. Pauls Lutheran Church,
Rev. Albrecht officiating and the re-
mains were inferred in the Lutheran
Cemetery. All Of the brothers and
sisters were present and others from
out of town were Mr.. and Mrs. j. j.

mann and daughter Frieda of Sleepy
Eye, Mr.. and Mrs. George Schemann of

Albert and William Engel Of Moorhead.
MRS. LOUIS FIENE
Mrs. Louis Fiene of Echo died Monday
noon, aged 40 years. Death followed
child birth.
The deceased whose maiden name
was Alvina Thorn was born in Nicollet
Township May 4, 1875. She was
married about 20 years ago to Louis
Fiene, who with two children; Alma and
Hugo survive her. She is also survived
by an adopted daughter, three sisters and
two brothers, all of whom reside at
Echo. The funeral will be held Thurs
day afternoon from her late home. Mr..
and Mrs. H. C. Fiene will attend the
funeral from here,
