New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-03-29

In a case in court young physician
was called as witness. The counsel for
the other side in cross examining the
doctor made several rather sarcastic re-
marks tending to throw doubt upon the
ability of so young a physician.
'You are entirely familiar" ques-
toned the counsel, with the symptoms
of conclusion of the brain?'
II am" replied the doctor.
"Then ," continued the counsel, "sup-
pose my learned friend, Lawyer Hol-
man, and myself were to bang our heads
together, should we get conclusion of
the brain?"
"Your learned friend, Lawyer Hol-
man, might" said the young man.

Formosa's Umbrella Snake.

Venomous snakes take the place of
wild beasts in Formosa, and their at
taeks are formidable, says a Japanese
traveller, who has just returned from
trip in the southern island. There is
a venomous snake on that island by
the name of amagasahebi, so called
from it's umbrella-like head This
snake is generally found in watery
places, often in ditch flowing out of
a kitchen. A maid working in kitch.
en- is not infrequently startled at the
ugly appearance Of the snake. The
animal makes peculiar noise by the
nimble movement of it's tongue. A
slight touch of it's fangs is fatal. A
native of the island was bitten by the
snake in the thumb. A doctor who
treated the wound made a simple ap-
plication. The man returned home,
thinking the wound would soon be
cured, but to his CONSERVATION his arm
had swollen up. He soon lost sight and
hearing. Next morning he was dead.

Animal and Plant Life In Brine.


Just west of Promontory Point sta
ton, Utah, is a pond cut off from the
Great Salt lake by the railroad en-
bankment. At times of high water in
the lake this reservoir fills by percola-
ton through the embankment, but dur
ing the summer this water is concen-
trated to brine by evaporation. The
deep pink color Of the brine is a phe-
nomenon that appears in salt ponds
generally when certain concentration
Is reached. In the salt ponds of San
Francisco bay this color is due to a
certain bacillus which lives in satu-
rated brines and also in the heaps of
salt as it is piled for drainage and
shipment. Prohibitive to life as such
an environment might be considered,
strong natural brines are, in fact, in
habited by number Of minute organ
isms, animals as well as plants. The
pink color disappears in winter or
when fresh water is introduced into
the pond.-United States Geological
Survey.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try It! Hair gets soft, fluffy and
beautifui-Get rs cent bottle
Of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and Is radiant with
life; has an incompatible softness and
Is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
1iately dissolves every particle Of
dandruff. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of it's lustre, it's strength and
It's very life, and if not overcome it
produces feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast. Surely get 25-cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
store and just try it.

ENTERS NEWSPAPER BUSINESS
WINS $4,000 BET.

Sterling, Colorado, may we'll boast of
having the newspaper marvel of the age
in the editor of the Advocate, G.. C.
Scott. He bought the paper two years
ago on bet that he could run any bust
ness he undertook successfully. The
other night he gave a banquet to his
employees and told them the story thus:
1.-Two years ago next month got into
heated argument with gentleman in
Denver through making the statement
that 1 could make a success out of any
business l wanted to in two years whether
l knew anything about the business or
not.
1.-The fellow offered to bet me $4,000
he could name a business in which
would fail if l should engage in it. We
put up the $4,000 in safety deposit box.
T ach kept key and neither one of us
can open the vault without the other,
He then turned to me and said, Run
newspaper
81 came home and bought the Advo-
cate and next month we meet in front
OF the safety deposit vault. I have
cleared over $4,000 on the deal and will
win the money. I still think can sue
cessfully run any business I engage in.
l will bet any man here that I can run a
peanut stand on the streets of Sterling
and make money on it and I don't know
tonight where to buy peanuts if you take
me uD."

day brief and friendly note handed
to him by Secretary of Statet Ian
sing, expressing qualification over the
turn affairs between the two govern
ments have taken and accepting pro-
posals for diplomatic settlement Of
points in dispute. The cOmmunica-
ton was approved by the cabinet be-
fore it was sent to the Mexican embas-
sy The text follows:
Mr.. Secretary: 1 have the honor
to acknowledge the receipt OF your
courteous note transmitted to me by
Senior Arredondo on the fourth in
slant, in which you refer to my notes
of June 20 and June 25, and to as
sure you of the sincere qualification
OF my government at the frank state
ment of the difficulties which have
unfortunately arisen in our relations
along the international boundary, and
the unreserved expression of the de
sire of your government to reach an
adjustment of these difficulties on a
broad and amicable basis The same
esprit Of friendship and of sOIicitude
for the continuance of cordial rela-
tions between our two countries in
spires my government, which equally
desires an immediate solution OF the
matters of difference which have long
vexed both governments
1T is especially pleasing to my gov
eminent that the de facto government
of Mexico is disposed to give quick
as well as practical consideration in
spirit of concord to the remedies
which may be applied to the existing
conditions. Reciprocating the same
desire, the government of the United
States is prepared Immediately TO
change views as to a practical plan TO
remove finally and prevent a recur-
renee of the difficulties which have
been the source of the controversy.
Accept, Mr.. Secretary, the renew
ed assurances Of my highest consid-
grafton.
Il am sir. yours very sincerely,
ROBERT LANSING"
