The doctor fills you with poison
and takes your money wheth :
you like it or not: If it were
only the vaccination fee, they
would not clamor so much for vac
cination; but at least twenty, per
cent of the cases that are vaccin-

physician from one to a. dozen
times, which means anywhere from
$500 to $500 ex' /, and then
they will say it was not. for the

this dastardly vaccination crusade.
When DR.. Raugh, who was sent
from this country to appear before
the British Royal Commission Of
Inquiry on Vaccination, in 1889,
to give testimony as to vaccination
in the United States, he was asked:
CDR. Raugh, tell the Commission
what Vaccination'is,'
He replied, II do not know"

COUNTY AUDITOR
HALDEN SLATED
FOR RETIREMENT
CONTINUED from Page -

(COntlnue0 from fQge 10
In the Sixtieth district, Fred
Bessette, the long statesman from
Pelican Lake, has filed for the
senatorship. He probably will be
opposed by w. j. Power of Hib-
bing. For the lower house, j. II.
McNiven may not run. D. D. Nc
Eachin and Earl Lawler, of Hib-
bling, have been suggested.
In the Sixty-first district, Sen.
O.. H. Griggs, now engaged in
Red Cross work in Paris, wants
another term as reward for
serving his country. :. Michael
Boylan, former mayor Of Virgin
ia will contest with Griggs for
the place, with excellent chances
for success. Many feel that Mr..
Griggs is too wealthy a man to
expect a political job in payment
Of doing patriotic duty. His
sympathies also are not consid-
cred as being entirely favorable
to the plain, common people.
For the lower house in that dis
trict, John H. Gill and G. T..
Murphy are rather expected to
stand again.
u. S. Grant McMahan has filed
for another term as county COM
missioner in the Fourth district.
He is unlikely to have opposition.
There will be a hot contest in
the Sixth district. Commissioner
Penttila is expected to stand
again. Opposing him, Fred w. R.
NOLAN, E. V. Peterson, w. F.
Haenke, E. 7. Smalley Sandberg,
P. R. Cosgrove and George Har-
vey already have filed.
There also is strong desire to
beat T. H. Little in the Second
district. Since auditor Halden
seeks Mr.. Little's scalp and since
this is not a Halden year, the OPP
position will have a real job on
it's hands. Those who seek Lit
ties scalp and already have filed
are: Coleman F. Naughton, car
toonist for the Duluth Evening
Herald; Bert Kribsback, recently
employed by Bert Farrell ir the
public works department; James
Curran, an automobile dealer.
Mr.. Little feels highly confident
Of reelection.

At the next meeting of the board
of education the official architects
probably will have ready for ap-
proval the plans for the addition
to the Cobb school. 1t is probable
that everything will be in readi-
ness to call for bids by May 20.
The contract as presented to the
bidders will include the heating,
ventilation, lighting and plumbing.
Construction contractors not in a
position to do the entire job can
bid on everything and then sublet
the work for the mechanical equip
ment.
The Cobb school, erected in
1913, containing four class rooms,
manual training, domestic science
and assembly rooms, together with
an unfinished gymnasium, was the
first school building under the So
called unit plan. The original
structure was designed for the ad-
dition Of four more rooms, only,
and it never has presented a fin
ished appearance.
The increase in population trib-
utary to the Cobb school has sadly
overcrowded it. At the present
time, classes are occupying the
principals office, domestic science
room, and even a portion Of the
halls. Proverbial sardines in a
box or three in bed do not afford
any finer example of crowding
than does the Cobb school, under
present conditions.
The Cobb school patrons have
been talking pointedly for some
time in their demands for more
room. They recently charged the
board with going wrong in not u.s.
ing proceeds from bonds, voted
last July, to improve the Cobt
school. Recent legal opinion was
to the effect that proper proper.
ton of proceeds from bonds could
not properly be diverted from the
Cobb school.

COBB SCHOOL ADDITION
SOON WILL Be STARTED
Nearly Completed Plans OF School Boards Arch
tects Give Rich Promise of COmmodiOus
and Very Pleasing Betterments. ~ $3.50
Some weeks ago, the board OF

Some.weeks ago, the board! OF
education voted to at once enlarge
the Cobb school, at the SAME, time
providing for better school faclli-
ties OH Park Point. The boards
architects, Messrs. Croft. & Boern-
err, have~been giving plans for the
Cobb school addition the right OF
way in their Office, They have
successfully worked out way TOR
six additional class rooms, three
on the first floor and three on the
third floor and, besides, one large
kindergarten room, we'll lighted
and very accessible, in the base
ment.
The class rooms in the original
unit of the Cobb school had seat
ing capacity for, only 80 pupils:
The rooms in the second unit will
be of standard size, 23x32 it., in
the clear, easily seating AZ pupils.
Another benefit will be the
lengthening of the auditorium and
gymnasium 20 feet, making the
area 35x74 #. The stage in the
auditorium will be swung to the
opposite end of the room which
will have practical advantage in
number of ways. A separate
entrance to the auditorium and
gymnasium also will be provided,
thereby making it unnecessary to
open the entire building.
Locker and shower quarters will
be given proper proportions in
making the Improvements to the
building. The air fan, which sticks
| out in a corridor like a paddle
box on a river steamboat, will be
removed to a vacant room, thereby
making movements through the
hallway safer, quicker and the
hall space more slightly. Addi-
tional toilet facilities also will be
added. The present boiler capa-
city is ample for the first and
second units.
The second unit will cost about
$4,000.

preston as to vaccination. I, for
one, condemn the action Of any
medical fraternity or association
that tries to foist on the public
at about this season Of the year a
smallpox scare. bluffing, I might
say, the fathers and mothers into
having their children's. systems
filled with poisonous serums, tox-
ms and vaccine virus.
I. deny the spontaneous exist
ence of any such thing as cow-pox.
There never was cow, not being
MIXED, that had cow-pox. There
never was such a thing on a heifer,
steer or bull. It exists only on
cows being MIXED by some one
with syphilitic sores on the hands.
Many pro-vaccinal authorities
express the belief that cow-pox,
so-called, is the effect of small
Epox contagion modified or attenu-
ated by passing through the sys-
tenn Of the COW. Other authorities
Of equal ability, claim that the
! virus Of smallpox will produce
smallpox and not cow-pox, and
that cow-pox must appear spon-
taneously in the COW. The doc
trine Of Spontaneous" cow-pox,
however, it without apparent
foundation in fact, and must be
abandoned as an untenable theory.
"The tradition of the dairy
maids" that the mixers who had
pustules on their hands like those
on the cows teats, were rendered
immune to smallpox, was accept
ed by Jenner and his followers, not
only without any exact knowledge
or scientific investigation as to the
source or character of the pox
on the COX, but actually without
any attempt having bee" made to
ascertain whether the mixers
caught the pox from the COW, or
the cow from the mixers.
This inquiry has since been
made with results, some of which
l shall here briefly outline. DR..
Herbert Boens of Brussels, reports
that a case Of Spontaneous cow
pox," was reported to have been
discovered in a village near Brus-
sells. He and Mr.. Bonnewyn, the
latter a member of the Academy
of Medicine of Belgium, investi-
Igated: and found that the cow in
question was. at: the time, being
MIXED by woman who was then
under treatment for syphilis by
DR.. Thirty of Brussels and, as a
result Of this and many other in
vestigations, DR.. Boens says
l"Whenever we ascend to the orr
gin Of what is called spontaneous
horse-pox or cow-pox, we find l., y
the groom or mixer attending:
such horse or COW, had syphilitic
sores on their hands.
After prolonged laborious study
of cases so-called spontaneous cow
pox, this true physician addressed
this terrible and memorable ar
raignment to the vaccinists: "Con-
tinue, gentlemen, to vaccinate #
you choose, and because you make
money by it, but never forget,
pseudo-scientists and false physi-
clans that you are, that whist
you sow vaccine among the pee
pie, they reap the pox.
A. w. Hutton, another authori.
Ity says: "The syphlitic nature Of
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-05-04


cow-pox is the theory which now
holds the field, and it is hardly
contested by the advocates of vac
cination, who are content to rely
solely on the evidence Of stats
tics"
The analogy between the mani
festations Of cow-pox and those
of syphilis is so close that & yeral
eminent Psychologists, among whom
is Prof. Edgar NJ. Crookshank, ex-
press the belief that so-called
spontaneous cow-pox is modified

says in his work entitled 'Cox-pox
and Vaccinal Syphilis page 49,
|6):
"The real affinity Of cow-pox is
not to the smallpox, but to the
great pox. The VAGINAL roseola is
not only very like tn syphilitic
roseola, but it means the same sort
Of thing. The VAGINAL ulcer IF
every day practice is to al in
tents and purposed chancre: it il
apt to be an indurated sore when
excavated under the scab. When
the scab does not adhere, it often
shows an unmistakable tendency

gedena. There are doubtless many
cases of it where constitll-
tional symptoms are either in abey-
ance or too slight to attract no.

rected, the degeneration Of the

gedenic sore (all in it's days

ola or by scaly and even pemphi-
gold eruptions, by iritis, by raised
patches of sores on the tonsils and
other parts Of the mouth or throat
and by condylomata mucous tu-
bercles) elsewhere
To the scientific physician con-
elusive evidence of the real affin-
ity. of cow-pox is furnished at t
glance at the pathological dag
nostic tables of NJ. T. Levenscn,
NJ. D. A. NJ, PHI. D, which formed
the basis of his thesis read before
the American Assoc; alton of Ply
!! sicians and Surgeons at Indianap-
oils in January, 1896, and which
has now been, for years, unques-
toned by the profession
This table is a condensed tate
ment in parallel columns Of, the
primary and secondary symptoms
of smallpox, cow-pox and syphilis,
drawn from the separate descrip-
tions of these several diseases by
the most renowned authorities. 1t
shows an almost complete likeness
between the. two latter and a total
unlikeness of each to smallpox.
Thus, we are brought faee2to face
with the gravest, and at the same
time, the most disgusting aspect
Of the wheae vaccination problem.
Here We haves tn tsstingny of
the highest authorities, who have
produced the. dearest evidence IL
support of their belief that So
called spontaneous eew-pox, the
virus of which has been used in
fascinating millions of healthy
children, is modified syphilis.
