quer heart disease. from which

York city are suffering and which
causes more deaths In this city than
tuberculosis. has come the electro
cardiograph. now perfected to a degree
that makes II a valuable adjunct in the
examination Of the heart.
This instrument is n delicate GAL
vanometer that reveals facts about
ne action and condition Of the
, heart which were not obtainable before
Its invention. It also records more
accurately than any other device the
rhythm OF the different chambers of
the organ. on whose continuous pump

enables heart specialists to observe
more closely than ever before the effect
OF treatment.
The cardiac department Of the New
York Post-G Graduate Hospital. at Sec
ond avenue and Twentieth street. hts
found It is better able to fight heart
disease with the use OF the electro
c~ardiograph as an additional instru-
ment in its laboratories. All the older
methods and instruments for making
physical examinations also are used In
the hospital. The methods make
1t possible to ascertain the capacity
Of the heart TO meet the demands made
On II. which vary as the individuals,
A laborer, for instance. requires heart
action that differs widely from that OF
q stenographer.
The Horoscope. which employs
x-rays to register the exact size and
form OF the heart. Is used In connection
with the electrocardiograph. which
registers the action Of that organ.
In addition to the advanced work
made possible by its electrocardiograph
the Post Graduate Hospital Is conduct
Ing a visiting nurse service to follow
sufferers from heart disease into their
homes and aid them in making condi-
tons favorable for their recovery.
An organization OF physicians and
social workers at the hospital, which
will be known as the committee for the
relief Of members Of the cardiac class
has been formed. Its aim Is TO pro-
vide ncccssaries for the sufferers ant
TO continue the visiting nurse service
established last April.
Through this service the cardiac de-
partmcnt has helped many persons III

additional exact and highly important
information.
Besides making known conditions
that hitherto II was impossible to as
certain. 1t enables the physician to
observe the results Of his efforts by
recording the forms Of rhythm and
their changes under treatment.
The instrument writes its indict-
ment Of conditions in a heart by
curves on a Photographic film. These
heart pictures are as characteristic as
finger prints or photographs. Each
PERSONS heart action makes n distinc-
tive curve. No two individuals hearts

registration OF the contractions of the
muscle shows the most minute differ

be made and sent to physicians in va

preting the curves can obtain informal

their own patients.
The story OF a dying heart is told
by the curves registered on the cardio-
graph. The record was begun seven
minutes before death. The first curves
show the heart contracting at the rate
Of IS beats n minute. That is about
the normal rate.
In three minutes the contractions
were at the rate Of thirty a minute

Norwegian government called at
the st. Paul office of the Equity
Society in company with Erick
Hammer, Secretary of the Nor
wegian Food Commission to make
arrangements for purchasing
grain direct from the producers
through their own selling agency.
This is certainly long step in
the right direction. Whenever the
farmers get in position to sell
their own grain to the foreign
governments for just what it is
worth less the cost of transporta-
ton, they will have their market
ing problem solved.
Both Mr.. Nobe. the Consul and
Mr.. Hammer, Secretary of the

thusiastic over purchasing wheat
direct from the producers through
their own selling agency. Mr..
Hammer will return to Norway
soon to report the results of his
mission here.

Wahpeton will tomorrow fitting
ly observe the closing of the state
School Of Science for this season.
This is the first time that thing
of this nature has been done. But
nevertheless it is timely. 1t will
show the students of this popular
educational institution that the
ciizens of Wahpeton appreciate
whatever they hav. done for them.
Every year a large number OF
students come here to attend the
above mentioned school and while
in this city leave with us certain
amount of worldly goods. Wahpe-
ton has prospered TO certain ex-
tent by these students patronizing
the local business places and it is
no more than right that we re-

that we appreciate whatever the.
have done for us.

the business places OF this cit:
to close from the hours OF 1885
a. M. in the morning until at leas

TO TEACHERS

This is To remind you again
That Summer School will COM
mrnce on Tuesday, June goth at
the State School of Science.
II is to- the advantage of any
teacher to increase her stock of
knowledge, and the Summer
School offers her opportunity not
only to- do SO but to- acquire added
ability to- instruct others. But the
untricd, unframed teacher espec-
tally needs the work of the Sum
mcr School.
In recommending teachers for
the schools of the county, other
things being equal, those who at
tend the Summer School and do
good work will be given the pre-
ference.
If you have no license to teach
you may earn credits toward one
by attending. But it is matter
of common knowledge that GER
tiiicate is no guarantee of cffic-
icncy as teacher. 1t is not even
evidence Of need
ed scholarship, for much of the
poor instruction in our schools is
due to teachers Inadequate know
ledge Of the subjects.
Call for efficient teaching SER
vice comes, not only from the
county superintendent, but from
school officers and patrons-in-
deed from wide-awake, devoted
teachers themselves. This call is
based on a demand for higher
standards of work in the schools
and it is up to those in the work
and those just entering it to re-
spOnd to those demands.
Very truly yours,
CHAS. HANSON.
