SICK ON BEAR MEAT.
Barton People Contracted Trichinosis
and are Very Ill.

ORLEANS, Nov. %. - Three very
serious cases of the rare disease, trich-
inosis, the germs of which were here
tofore known to exist only in swine
and transmitted to man by eating pork,
not thoroughly cooked, have developed
i'll this vicinity, but instead of it be-
ing caused by eating pork it was trans
mitted by eating the meat Of a bear
killed short time ago by Mr.. Bald
win of Baldwin S Mill, p. O., one of the
victims. Both Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin
are seriously i'll as well as their son-in
law, l.. K. Heath of this place, and
Mrs. Heath was taken i'll with the same
disease on Sunday.
Trichinosis is caused by eating meat
which is filled with trichinOsis worms
thus getting them into the bowels and
finally into the muscles in which stage
the disease is incurable In the last for
ty-fve years there have been, in the
United States, only nine hundred cases.
or two hundred eases each year, that
being one case to two million people
per year Twenty five per cent of the
cases are fatal. These eases should be
warning to all eating bear meat
cooked rare as the danger is lessened if
the meat is thoroughly cooked.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heath are prominent
people in the place and have the SYM
pathy of the entire community.

that institution. Norwich university,

commons hall with the $4,000 which
the Rough Riders can easily raise, but
it is now more III need of endowment

of a million dollars, which the fame
that the college has lately won. and
the zeal and enterprise of its new presi-
dent ought to win for it, the buildings
which Norwich needs will gradually be
added unto it.

Concord, \. H., MonitOr.)
The increasing seriousness and bust
nesslike aspect OF the agitation for an
embargo on foodstuffs for the protection
OF American consumers who are forced
to take what Europe leaves of Ameri-
can crops, and pay more than Europe
pays to get anything at all, has aroused
the National Grange to defense of the
farmers in this matter.
The Grange proceeds to give many
reasons to show that neither the farm
er nor the export business is to blame
for present prices. and concludes with
the plea that if an embargo is to be
put ON anything, it ought to be on war
munitions.
Which is all very we'll except for two
little facts which the Grange appears
to have overlooked.
First, if the export business is not
as the Grange implies, an important
factor in the present high prices which
the farmer is getting for his products
there is no reason why the farmer
should object to stopping the export
business.
Second, people do not eat war mum
tions.

THE LIFE INSURANCE NINAyIO1

The life insurance examination is a
process of elimination which eliminates
everything but the first years premi-
um. After man has gone through with
one of these examinations and dis
covers that his physique needs every
thing but new window sills and tar
roof, he will return home and begin
taking all of the patent medicine that
the express companies are allowed to
carry.
The purpose of the life insurance ex-
animation is to find out if the insured
Is liable to last until the company has
taken in four times the amount of the
policy. To man of retiring nature, it
Is an embarrassing and painful process,
as he Is obliged TO tell when, where and
why he was born, the exact age and
cause of death of his great GRANDPA
ther on his mother s side, and the rea
son why his ancestors seemed to run
to lumbago. He is also obliged to re-
Aounee tobacco and liquor in any form
until the examination is over. Very
lew men can get examined for life in

There are several ways of Ia king a
life insurance examination. but the
most popular is TO consult some phvsi-
elan who has a kind heart and a declin-
ing practice. Life insurance companies
insist that the applicant shall weigh
enough to depress a sugar scale, but
this difficulty can be overcome by ear
rying pig iron in both hip pockets and
assuming look of pious innocence.
Thousands of men who weigh less than
they did when they were nine wears
old, have found in this way that it Is
much easier to secure a life insurance
policy than it is to keep it going on
both feet
The life insurance examination is a
good thing, for it prevents people from
lapsing policy after one of their vital
organs has retired from active business
pursuits. On that account, it is better
to take it when you can get it and hang
on with death grip.

Splice was in the employ of Mr..
