Ne Longer Menace TO Humans.
Anthrax as an animal disease has
been carefully studied OF recent years.
but its occasional appearance among
human beings has never attracted any
attention until recently. Although It
is described in most medical text books
many physicians are not familiar with
its symptoms. This ignorance Of the
disease is the chief source of danger.
With preventive measures and cures
that have been perfected within the
last few years there is no reason why
il should be a menace to human life.

Of the Republican platform is assured
The controversy will revolve around
the demand by Senator Fall of New
Mexico that the Republican platform
shall carry a straightout declaration
in favor of Intervention in Mexico.
This proposition will be fought by
Senator Borah of Idaho. The two
senators are members of the resolu-
tions committee, which will frame the
platform.
Senator Borah will urge a plank ex-
pressing the sense of the party that
American lives and property should be
protected wherever menaced but that
the United States should not, except
in extreme necessity, interfere with
the internal affairs of the country.

''The Birth of a Nation"

"The Birth of a Nation" D. W.
Griffith's masterpiece of the ''movies,"
was presented. at the Princeton Arm
DRY on Monday and Tuesday, after
noon and evening, and large audiences
took advantage of the opportunity to
view the vast and overwhelming pro-
duction.
All the extras, including behind the
curtain contrivances for producing the
noises necessary to realism in the var
ious thrilling scenes depicted, and a
splendid orchestra Of rs professional
musicians, were in evidence.
The production is educational as
we'll as interesting, and forcibly brings
home to one the devastation of war;
pathetic scenes impress the specta-
tor with the dark side of conflicts and
remove the glamor of bursting shells
and brilliant victories, too often iden-
titled with accounts of bloody strug-
giles among men.
The horrors Of the reconstruction
period in the south are driven home,
and the constituencies rascals who in
vaded that section on the heels of the
Civil war to play upon the credulity
and ignorance Of the newly made
citizens for the purpose Of enriching
themselves at the expense of an i'm
ooverished populace, are shown in
their true colors.
1t is massive production, one
that must be seen to be appreciated,
and once seen will not be quickly for
cotton.

play looked like an everyday occur
renee.
The locals were woefully weak with
the stick last Sunday, and Captain
Mallette and "Pongo" Olson have
ordered three sessions Of batting
practice this week.
The Princeton outfeld did stellar
work Sunday. Smith and Doane each
pulled down two drives, and Raiche
also gathered one in. The infield also
delivered the goods, and some real
fast base ball was played.
Smith and Wilkes scored by taking
advantage of brief let-up on the
part of the opposition. The locals
play. the game all the time, and that
is why they won Sunday in spite of
the fact that the visitors out-hit
them.
Next Sunday the St. Cloud Cali

should be the best ever. The team
represents the pick Of the Granite
City diamond performers, and Prince
ton will have it's strongest lineup in
the field.
The old reliable H. J. Plaas and a
gentleman from Ogilvie pulled off the
umpiring stunt, and got by in good
shape. Plaas has few equals as an
umpire, and his decisions are always
given in strict accordance with the
play as he sees it. .-
