Ter first made his first official appear
ance at the City Hall as the attorney
for the State Street Stores assn,
asking that the fender ordinance,

hurt State street bushes. At later
time Weinfeld, of this same firm, ap-

in connection with city ordinances.
"Why did so many of the special
privilege hogs of this city hunt out
this one law firm? Was it the SUI
perior legal talents Of Sam EtteIson's
partners that attracted corporations
and the State street stores? Or was
it something besides legal ability that
drew these liberal clients to Sam Et-

ire is In receipt Of letter from the

the Fortune Photoplay features. which
have been running at the Nelson for
several weeks, are meeting with un-
bounded success all over the country.
The letter congratulates Mr.. Nelson
On being in the class of progressive
managers throughout the country who
were quick to realize the attractive
Qualities Of these features.
The Fortune Photoplay pictures are
founded on stories by authors who
have been writing this class OF fiction
for the leading magazines and their
success is undoubtedly due to the fact
that the screen has been made to fit
the stories and not the other way about
as is the case when scenario writer's
aim only at screen production. They
are a regular every Thursday feature
az the Nelson and there has been 4
marked increase in attendance here

Fifteen acres of alfalfa land which

past eleven years on the Hopewell
farm of D. q. Roger, six miles north

Town, The tract has yielded So or SO
crops or cuttings Of hay. Three crops
have been cut every year until 1915
when only two were harvested. In
three seasons since the land was seed
ed to alfalfa four cuttings have been
made. In the last few years the altal'
ia plants have been gradually thinning
out, so that it was hardly worth cut
ting without reseeding. Mr.. Roger is
enthusiastic about alfalfa as stock

America Should
Profit by Example

Whether American experience will be
q re-reading of the tragic experience OF
France remains to be seen; but as
tuberculosis and dyspepsia are com
mon diseases of American life, new
seriousness, wholly new meaning,
have come into them. When the army
has reached its greatest size It IS easy
10 see what the detection of these all
ments will be in labor and the eXer-
ton of knowledge and good sense. Too
much medical fuss is a gloomy and de-
moralizing prospect, for it tends to in
finite wastage, and makes it probable
that many divisions will not survive to
90 on service as a unit.
In Austria, as elsewhere, tuberculosis
has come and taken the heaviest toll
The present epidemic in the army
which began in 1916, has grown until
il has dealt staggering blow to Aus
trian military force and military re-
serves. The facts which are now pub
lished in Vienna seem TO be too grave
to be censored away. They have some
striking lessons.
The results of the test are striking
showing the steady progress Of the dis
ease, as we'll as its ubiquitous nature
Thus, the percentage Of reactions to
tuberculin was II TO % in 1915, IS to rs
in 1916 and % 70 % in 1917.
Latent tuberculosis was also a mat
ter of tuberculin testing. Professor
Hamburger, who made the injections OF
tuberculin, found it existed in 90 per
cent of the 470 soldiers examined Such
are the results of OVERRIDING medical
science. One explanation of the preva-
lence of the disease was that Austria
had been compelled to lower the phys
ical standard.
