Girl Injured by Auto

Glenwood Herald. -Eldrid Gorder,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. L..
Gorder had a miraculous escape one
of the first days of the week. She
had a ride with P. o. Barsness in his
automobile from the school house.
AS she left the car at her home an
other car passed the Barsness auto
mobile. The driver did not see her
and struck her with such force that
one of the lights was smashed. The
girl was picked up in an unconscious
state of mind. A doctor was sum-
moned Immediately. He found that
no bones were broken and that she in
all probability suffered no serious in
ternal injury. While she was bruised
considerably it is thought no serious
injuries resulted. Her dress was torn
to pieces and the accident naturally
caused considerable excitement. At
last reports she was resting quietly
and we trust she will soon be her
normal self.

SCORE A SHOW HIT
Million Dollar Doll Company at
Orpheum Lives Up to Repu-
tation of Show House

One of the best musical comedy
companies which have visited Morris
for some time appeared at the
Orpheum theater Monday night when
the bill was 1.-THE Million Dollar
Doll" The scenery used was splen-
did and the chorus was captivating.
The costumes and gowns drew many
expressions of admiration in the aud
fence. Every member of the company
was an artist and every number on
the bill was generously applauded.
The dancing of the pretty girls on
the runway above the heads of the
audience with the girls singing to
several persons in the seats created
extra interest.
Manager Orr who took leading
part in the program expressed his
pleasure over the splendid house
which greeted his production in
Morris. He expects to bring his COM
pany here again before the season
closes. He has an excellent COM
pany and his specialties are clean,
clever and delightful.

DOCTOR EXTRACTS
BUG IN MANS EAR
Distracted by Invader Cyrus Man
Tries Everything from Hair
pin to Poison

The presence of a large and we'll
shod multiple footed bug clawing its
way to the brain through the ear
of Ed. Steen, a we'll known Cyrus
chauffeur, had Mr.. Steen cropping
for the bug house at Fergus or some
other place one night last week as
he and party of joy riders were
returning from Sank Centre. Mr..
Steen assisted the bug on its way
to a brain supper by thrusting his
finger into his ear and speeding the
invader on his journey. Hairpins,
bottonhooks and corkscrews were also
used in an effort to dislodge the bug,
but all efforts were fruitless till he
reached home and a doctor injected
poison into the ear after the fashion
of a boy drowning out pocket gophers.
The bug was killed and the almost
crazed man was restored.
This remarkable experience came
Sunday night shortly after Steen and
his party left Sank Centre. The bug,
probably attracted by the bright
lights of the car, flew into the laby
rinths of Mr.. Stems ear. AS Mr..
Bug crawled in Ed. tried to get him
out with his thumb. The sensation
was anything but delightful and
after the other occupants of the car
had tried but failed to dislodge the
animile, a passing car was hailed and
a woman produced new instrument
"a hairpin. Her efforts were vain.
Then the Steen car nit up lively
pace for home as the bug continued
scratching it's way to the interior
machinery under Stems hat. A Cy
rus doctor was summoned who decided
to give the bug drink, or drown him.
Poison was injected into the ear and
son all was as quiet and peaceful as
a Canadian grocery on Sunday noon.
Next day the insect was removed by
means of the doctors probing hook
which caught Mr.. Bugg in the seat of
the pants and brought him forth.
Mr.. Stems friends have recon-
mended ear screens for automobile
drivers. 1t is possible, considering
Mr.. Stems remarkable experience.
that automobile accessory catalogues
will soon contain descriptions and
prices of the much needed devise.

CONDUITS PROVOKE
MUCH SPECULATION
Manager Abel Swamped With
Questions as Workmen Pro-
coed on Wire Leads

A crew of diggers have been busy
the past week and are still at work
laying the underground conduits for
the Stevens County telephone cables
which are to enter the new office
building soon to be occupied for office
purposes. The work has aroused
considerable speculation regarding the
manner in which the cables will be
inserted into the clay tile which have
been so carefully laid. 81 have
answered at least two thousand in
quiries regarding the NATTER" said
Manager Abel to the Tribune yester-
day.
The tile conduits will extend from
the rear of the Hogan Decorating Co. s
offices to the Olson & Hemming corn
err, along Sixth street, and thence
across the street to the new office
building. The tile are large enough
to accommodate several thousand
wir IS, and are laid at depth of four
feet. When conduits are finished the
phone wires from the west side will
be inserted by means of sectional
iron rods connected as they are push
ed forward. After them will be
drawn rope to which the cable is
attached. Manholes at various points
along the street will enable the men
to string the cables through the tile
which is laid evenly in a bed of con-
crete.
The wires from the east side will
be taken to the building in a cable
running up the rear alley. Cable
poles will be removed from the bust
ness streets.
Other poles may go later.

The great shortage of drugs and remedies which come from Germany has had the effect of making chemists here produce them for specific use. Take for example the case of one Philadelphia hospital, where they are making salvorsan for use in the hos pital itself, although, of course, it cannot be made for sale, under our patent laws.
 In the drug and chemical trade at the present time there is a feeling that the present situation resulting in the high price of most drugs and prac- tica1 withdrawal from the market of others, may bring about a big change in the patent laws of this country. It has been suggested that unless for eign firm. which has been granted the protection of the laws be withdrawn supplies this country with an ade- quate quantity of it's product, then the protection of the1 avs bew ithdrawr. to allow American firms to make the drugs or chemicals

HEALTH INSURANCE MOVEMENT IS
 SPREADING RAPIDA "

The relation of universal insurance to the public health, and especially to the welfare of wage workers, is being studied by the U. s. Public Health Service, which has just pub lished a bulletin on the subject.
 ''Particular attention" says the La bor Gazette of Washington, D. C., ''is being given in this investigation to health insurance as a measure for the prevention of disease among the wage working population
 The legislatures of New York, Massachusetts and lew Jersey. have before them bills drafted by the American Association for Labor Leg islation, while a. bill is being prepar- ed for introduction in the Ohio legis- Iature. tIn Ohio the State Fedora ton of Labor and the Health Asso- citation have both manifested interest in health insurance" says the Labor Gabette.
 In California a bill will be drafted on the recommendations of the Social Insurance Commission which was created by the legislature to study the question.
 Since health insurance has been es- tablished, tuberculosis, the most com mon disease among German workers, has been effectively campaigned against Sanitariurns containing 1O,- OUO OeQSs III WHICH OO,OVV WOrkerS are cared for each year, have been erect ed by the insurance funds. Figures are quoted to show that while in 1890, S4, Os6 died of tuberculosis in Prussia, in 1913 the number had fallen to 56,- 5S3, and that in spite of the great in- crease in population.
 In Prussia where health insurance has been in operation since 1888, it is estimated that in the last quarter of the nineteenth century the average duration of human life was increasing twice rapidly as it was in Massa- chusetts during the last 40 years of the century.

PRICES OF DRUGS.
Increase of 300 Per Gent. Pre- dicted If War Lasts
 Until July 1.

According to wholesale drug and chemical house reports. if the war
 lasts until July 1, the present price of
 drugs will be increased 300 per cent. Statistics show that the United States is the largest drug using and smallest
 drug producing country in the world
 Practically every drug it uses comes
 from or through Europe, and the war
 has cut down the supply of drugs and chemicals to such an extent that rrices haver isen from 100 per cent. to as
 high as 2,0o0 per cent. since the start of the war.
 I9 The year of 191 marked the highest level ever reached by drug prices in this country and unless some relief
 puts in an appearance before the end of the current year another and still higher level is likely to be reached.
 The effect of this rise in prices on the man or woman who goes into a drug store. is that he gets from two-thirds to one-ha1f as much as he previously got for the same price.
 Some idea of the rise may be gain ed from the facts which follow: Glye-
 crime costs just double what it did at the start of the war, and quinine.
 which cost ss cents an ounce in 1914. now costs 68 cents. In December 1t went as high as 90 cents. Practically all of the coal-tar preparations, which come from Germany are out of the
 market, and have been for some time.
 The prices of cream of tartar, Rochelle
 salts, bicarbonate of soda, Epson salts and other popular remedic- nave also
 scared.
 A pharmaceutical publication gives
 an interesting list of the per cent. of 1 increase in thep rice of certain drugs. since the beginning of the war, which
 may give the public some idea of the
 magnitude of the situation with which
 they are confronted. Acetanilid has risen 400 per cent; be1ladonna, 700 i per cent; bromide of potassium, 1,500
 per cent; carbolic acid (pheno), i 2,o00 per cent; phenaeetine, 1.S00 per
 cent, and salfcylic acid, 300 per cent. 1 December to. S9.50 a pound for this ! month. Aspiria went from 32 cents | to $1.25 a pound; caffeine from $s to | $9 pound; santoin from $4 to $75 | a pound and saloI rose from 80 cents i to $9 a pound.
 l Castor oil is now practically unob- l tainable, it's price having risen from 1 25 cents to SIP. It is much used for l Iubricating the machinery of machine guns and aeroplanes. Opium is in
 much the same situation. for the east
 ern Mediterranean, from which our | supply of this drug comes, has been 1 closed to ordinary commercial traffic f for may months. Creosote has risen l from 60 cents to $6.50 a pound; car l bo1ic acid, which sold for eight cents | a mound before thew ar, is now $2,
 and mercury has risen in the same
 period from so cents to $2.3o.

 SUFFRAGE NEWS

Three great provinces of Canada are granting votes to women this year. These are Manitoba, Alberta and Sas- katchewan, the three prairie provin- ces which are now the granary of the
 British Empire, and which border Montana, North Dakota and Minnes- ota to the north. Manitoba, was the first to pass the woman suffrage mea- sure through all it's stages. The bill there became law on January 27. Since then Manitoba. has voted on prohibit ton and by an enormous majority has decided to do without the liquor trade The women however had no part in this election as it was not possible for them to register in time for the vote. The same men who granted the vote to the women, also voted for pro- hibition.
 suffrage is Alberta. The bill there
 passed it's third reading about ten days ago and has just been signed by the Lieutenant Governor = the title
 given to the governor of a Canadian province. The Saskatchewan bill has not yet progressed quite so far.
 Ia Two remarkable points about wo- man suffrage in these great western provinces of Canada are first the una lirnity and ease with which votes for | women have been granted and second | the suddenness with which woman suffrage was made an issue in these
 provinces.I The feeling for woman
 suffrage is of course much older than
 the open demand; but it is only a
 few years since it was publicly stated
 by prominent Canadians visiting this country that there was no agitation
 and very little feeling in favor of votes
 for women in Canada. That cannot
 be said at the present moment
 l One reason for the rapid spread of
 suffrage sentiment in Canada is the
 wonderful work done towards the re-
 demption of Manitoba by Mrs. Nellie i McClung. Mrs. McCIung is a young
 woman with several small children i;
 but when the politics of Manitoba be- came too corrupt and vile to be stood any longer she went on the platform
 and conducted a series of meetings. An entrance fee of 50 cents was usually
 charged for her meetings, and yet the 1 crowds that gathered could not pos sibly be contained in the halls that were available and everywhere thou
 sands of people were turned away.
 When the old corrupt government of Manitoba was replaced last year by | a new cabinet pledged to reform, it | was felt that the change was largely
 due to the work of Mrs. McClung.
