SWAPPING THE WHIP.

Most of us have played the game
of Swapping the whip" and known
the exhiliration of finding oneself at
the tip end of the whip. An ingen-
ious mechanical device has been in
vented which works on exactly the
same principle and affords much the
same sensation. In the game a num-
Der of children joined hands and aft
err a rapid run, the boy at one end of
the row stood still and allowed the
others to swing rapidly about. Those
at the extreme end of this radius
found themselves often swung thru
the air with surprising velocity. In
the mechanical device a series of cars,
provided with seats holding two or
three people, are attached to a chain
which moves about an elongated ell
lipse. The cars slide on rollers over
a smooth surface. They move quickly
along the side of the ellipse but on
rounding the ends the cars swing out

factor in the winning of the great
success which was ultimately achieved.
with very few exceptions, there
was no recurrence of plague in build
ings which had been di~sinfected and
renovated. AS center after center of
infection was found and destroyed the
percentage of diseased rats began to
decrease, and in January, 1902, when
judging from the history of previous
years, plague should have again be-
gun to spread among human beings,
there was not a single case. In Feb
ruary n case occurred. In March
there were two cases, as against 60
in March of the preceding year, and
before April the disease had complete
ly disappeared"

SUNSTROkE, HEAT EXHAUSTION
AND FREEZING.

Sunstroke and heat exhaustion are
both caused, generally speaking, from
the same source, i.e., excessive hot
weather, although the former is usual
ly produced by the direct rays of the
sun striking the head, while the lat
ter is more apt to come from humid
weather or as a result of being con-
fined in poorly ventilated workshops
or rooms.
The remarkable thing about these
very serious emergencies is this, that
while both arise from a common
cause, yet in each case the symptoms
are so diversely opposite, as are also
the treatment, that it will be well tc
impress these points by means of a
comparative table and thereby facil-
itate ones decision as to which is
which, and also enable one to do Just
the correct thing, for we must be sure
in these quite common emergencies
since they are of an exceedingly SER
ious nature. One thousand nine hun
dred sixty-four deaths occurred last
year from this cause directly and of
the 62,431 deaths reported from ap.
opleXy (there is a form of this dis
ease which is termed heat apoplexy)
there were doubtless many of these
whose death was the result of this
condition, due to humid or hot wealth
er.

Symptoms.

Observation-Disclosures, tired feeling,
throbbing headache, sense of oppres-
sion, flushed face, skin very hot and
dry, great fever GOA degrees or high
err, breathing shallow or loud like
snoring, pulse quick and bounding,
Inconsistencies.
Heat Observation-Disclosures, tired
feeling, dull headache, great depres-
sion, pale face, skin clammy and cold,
temperature of body low, breathing
feeble, pulse week, seldom unconscious.
Treatment.
Sunstroke. Get quickly to shade.
Remove tight clothing and strip to
waste. Dash cold water on face and
chest, or put into ice water bath. Keep
ice on head. Keep patient in recum-
bent position-head raised. When
conscious, give lots of cold water to
drink, or ice to suck.
Heat exhaustion.-Get into any qui-
ct place. Loosen tight clothing and
cover with blankets to keep warm. Do
not apply cold applications under any
circumstances. Patient lying flat,
head low. Aromatic spirits of am
monia water in sips. Hot tea or cof-
fee.
Both of these distressing conditions
may be prevented by taking care not
to overdo during hot weather, and in
case of one becoming tired, especially
dizzy, followed by headache or ems
of oppression, these being the warn
ings of approaching trouble. Then
at once stop working, take a cool
bath, or battle the head, face and
hands in cold water, lie down in shady
or airy place, and rest quietly for an
hour or two . Don't permit use of
alcohol in any form.
Frost bite need hardly be described
since it is a common affliction in
northern territory. If anything need
be emphasized in this connection, it
is prevention. Proper care should be
taken to avoid unnecessary exposure
of face, ears and hands, taking par
ticular care of the feet.
If one is frost bitten, endeavor to
restore affected parts by rubbing with
snow, or, in absence of snow, ice
scrapings, or ice water. The hands
or feet can be submerged in cold wa
ter and friction applied while in wa
ter, and as the color of parts is re-
stored, raise temperature of water
gradually until normal condition OBJ
tains. Dry parts and rub on vase
line, or lard and t%urpentine, or car
bolic salve and wrap in absorbent cot
ten. If blisters had formed, prick
with a sterile needle. Care will have
to be taken for some time following
to prevent recurrence of frost bite.
Caution-Never take a person into
a warm room who is suffering frost
bite. First restore parts. Heat will
cause %gangrene!

ONCE A COWPUNCHER.

ARTIST ONCE A COWPUNCHER.
Marriage interrupted temporarily
the art career of Alfred st. Germaine,
full-blooded Sious Indian, "a years old,
of Wolf Point, Montana. Mr.. st. Ger
maine, famous before the war for his
ability to rope steers, after the war
an art student at the Cincinnati Art
Academy, has recently returned to the
academy after a leave of absence of
two months at Wolf Point, during
which time he was married. His bride
who has unusual talent for bead work,
will join him in Cincinnati later, when
arrangements have been made for
their residence there.
AS a member of the 361st infantry,
Mr.. St. Germaine took part in the
fighting in the Argonne Forest. On
September 10 he went over the top in
a raid. While attacking a German
machine gun nest, he received a wound
in the wrist, destroying forever the
suppleness of the wrist which had
given him his skill in roping.
hTe injury proved troublesome and
he was sem to the base hospital, and
later to the United States. During
his convalescence at West Baden, In
diana, he spent much of his time in
drawing. His work was brought to
the attention of Red Cross officials
who discovered that he possessed IN
usual ability along this line. AS a re-
suit he was given an art course at
the Cincinnati Art Academy by the
Federal Board of Vocational Educa-
ton. He entered upon his work there
o. July 7, 1919, and a very promising
future has been prophesied for him.
In May Of this year, a medical ex-
animation record for Mr.. St. Germaine
vas sent to the department of Civil
ian Relief of the northern division,
in which it was stated that he had
become restless owing to the confin-
ing nature of the work at the art
school. Shortly afterwards word was
received from the Wolf Point branch
that he had obtained a leave Of alb
sence from the art school for thirty
days. This leave of absence was ex-
tended and during the latter part of
May he was married. Soon after that
he was ready to his work at
the art school, and on June 7 he start
ed back to Cincinnati. Mrs. st. Ger
maine did not accompany him, but ex-
poets to join him as soon as he can
make arrangements for a place of res
idence for them.

EXPEDITION WILL
HUNT BONES OF
AGED REPTILES

Another expedition to look for the
bones of prehistoric reptiles in the
Red River valley of Alberta is on its
way to Edmonton, Alberta. This time
it is under the direction of DR.. w. A.
Parks of the University of Toronto
and the Royal Ontario museum. For
a number Of years these expeditions
have been an annual summer journey
for three months. Two years ago the
almost perfect specimen of the krit-
osaurus incurvimanus, which has just
been finally Clipped free from, was
found making a distinct addition to
the records of science, and giving to
Toronto the only specimen of the spe-
cies yet discovered. Three incom-
plete skeletons of the kritosaurus and
a great horned head of the bronto-
saurus, four feet six inches in length,
were found by the professor but have
not yet been carved from the rock.
It is the hope of Professor Parks to
collect ultimately for the Royal On
tario museum n of the finest exhib-
its of dinousaurs in existence.
The locality and the method of find
ing the specimens are described by
Professor Parks. "The river cuts
right through the flat prairie to a
depth Of 400 feet, forming a whole
lot of broken buttes, and it is among
these that the bones are discovered.
One of the difficulties in obtaining
complete specimens is that the bones
cannot be obtained unless they are
partly exposed by the action of natur-
al d~eroding causes. Sometimes you
are disappointed then, for after ex-
ploring you may find only a single
bone. You dig down as close as you
a and pack the rock in plaster par
is for shipment"
The Red river valley 5000, 900 years
ago was hear the coast of a great in
land sea that stretched from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Arctic ocean. "The
sand along the shallow brackish shore
of this great body of water formed
a splendid preservative for those huge
reptiles which inhabited the
world at that time. Our kritosaurus
was found in what we call the Belly
river formation of the upper cret-
acean SYSTEM" explains Professor
Parks,

REPORTS DECREASE IN
CATTLE AND HOGS
IN UNITED STATES

A falling off in the number of hogs
and cattle in the United States oc-
Cured during the first four months
of this year, as compared with a like
period last year, according to reports
of the Bureau of Crop Estimates,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
In the case of hogs, the birth dur
ing January, February, March and
April were about 10 per cent fewer
than in the same months last year.
The marketings have fallen off about
Is per cent; the farm slaughter was
about the same in both seasons, but
the deaths on farms this year are
over 40 per cent heavier than last year
to May /. Taking into consideration
both the births and the deaths (from
all causes), it appears that there has
been a relative reduction Of about S
per cent during the first four months
Of this year as compared with the
trend during the first four months of
last year.
The births of calves from January
1 to May 1 were about % per cent
fewer this year than last year. The
net disposition of cattle by marketings
farm slaughter, and deaths was about
9 per cent greater than last year; it
appears that there has been a relative
reduction of about 6 per cent in total
number of cattle as compared with
last year during the four months,
January 1 to May /.

HOW BUBONIC PLAGUE WAS
CONQUERED IN PHILIPPINES

Recent discovery of a number of
isolated cases of the bubonic plague
in the United States lends interest
to a bulletin of the National Geo.
graphic society describing how the
disease was conquered by American
medical authorities in the Philippines.
"The United States drove the bu-
bonic plague out of the Philippines
as completely as it swept the yellow
fever out of Cuba" says a communi-
cation to the society.
"Bubonic plague was discovered at
Manila December 26, 1899, and slowly
but steadily increased up to Deem
Der, 1901.
"The deaths in 1900 numbered 1919,
and 1901 reached a total of 432. The
disease was at it's worst each year
during the hot, dry months of March,
April and May, nearly or quite disap-
pearing during September, October,
November and December. 1t will be
noted that while the number of cases
in 1901 exceeded that in 1900 by 200
the number of deaths was about two
and a half times as great and the per-
centage of mortality among persons
attacked increased from 73.4 in 1900
to 91.7 in 1901.
son account of the important part
which house rats are known to play in
the distribution of bubonic plague, q
systematic campaign was inaugurated
against these rodents in Manila. Po-
licemen, sanitary inspectors, and es-
pecially appointed rat-catchers were
furnished with traps and poison, and
both traps and poison were distributed
to private individuals under proper
restrictions. A bounty was paid for
all rats turned over to the health au-
thorities, and stations were establish
ed at convenient points throughout the
city where they could be received.
Each rat was tagged with the street

lot from which it came, was dropped
into a strong antiseptic solution, and
eventually sent to the biological lab
oratory where it was subjected to a
meteorological examination for the
plague.
Buildings in which plague rats
were taken were treated exactly as
were those where the disease. attack

THUG KILLS MAN AS
WIFE BEGS FOR MERCY
st. Paul Man Slain by Youth-Other
Holdups Believed to Be Work
of Same Man.

Stacy H. CLANCY of St. Paul, walk
ing home from a theatre at 1890 o.
m. Sunday with his young wife, at
Cable avenue and Maury street, a
block from the Margaret street po-
lice ~sub-station, was shot and instant
ly killed by a youthful bandit, who
earlier in the evening held up another
couple on Dayton's Bluff.
Mrs. CLANCY was the only witness
to the killing. persons on nearby
porches hearing shots thought them
part of the premature celebration of
the Fourth.
In a shaded spot between the as
lights that feebly illuminate the block
on Cable avenue, just off East Seventh
street and opposite the William Hamm
mansion, CLANCY and his wife were
halted and commanded to throw up
their hands. They complied.
"For Gods sake don't shoot, we
have two little babies at home" cried
Mrs. CLANCY.
CLANCY reached for his watch and
as his hand went down the bandit shot
once in the air, then without pausing
shot a second time through Chaney's
heart. CLANCY was dead when DR.. A.
j. Dohm, police surgeon, arrived a
few minutes later. Mrs. Clancy was
taken to her home, 725 Edgerton ave-
nue., hysterical.
A private motor ambulance took
Chaney's body to St. Johns hospital,
from where it was later taken to the
Ramsey county morgue by Coroner
Ingerson.
Mr.. CLANCY vas 80 years old and
an assistant secretary and head sales
man for the Bouquet Brownson Co.,
100 Endicott Arcade. He had been
married several years and is survived
by two babies, one 2 years old and
the other 8 months old. His wife, late
Sunday night, was in a serious condi-
ton as the result of hysteria. She,
however, furnished the police a de-
scription of her husbands assailant,
and declares that she can identify
him.
Thirty minutes before the shooting,
a report was made to Margaret street
police of a hold-up on Burns avenue,
between Earl street and Mounds boul-
evard, in which Herbert A. Cassman,
481 North street, and a young woman
companion lost $12 to a bandit who
answers the description Mrs. Clancy
gave of the man who killed her hus-
band.
Arthur Lawrence, 81 Mounds boul-
evard, witnessed the Eastman holdup,
and is positive, he told the police, that
he also a identify the youth. The
latter was unmasked, small, slight and
apparently not more than 10 years old.
A squad of detectives from Central
station were detailed to the case, and
a search for the young bandit spread
through the Twin Cities. In Mime
apolis, detectives and motorcycle pa.
trolmen watched street cars and auto
mobiles from St. Paul.

Summer Complaint in Children,

There is not anything like so many
deaths from this disease now as before
Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy came into such general use.
When this remedy is given with cas-
tor oil as directed and proper are is
taken as to diet, it is safe to say that
fully ninety-nine out of every humid

bell of Butler, Tenn, says, 81 have
used Chamberlain's Collie and Diar-
rhoea Remedy for summer complaint
in children. It is far ahead of any,
thing 1 have ever used for this pur-
pose."

HONOR FOUNDER
OF e L

Great Falls, July between 5000
and 5000 people crowded the court
house square this evening to pay trib-
ute to Senator Paris Gibson, founder
of the city, on his Goth birthday ami
versary. The program was an hour
in length and included the %presenta-
ton of 80 roses by as many little chill
dren.
Senator Gibson, although feeble and
being without sight, due to an acct
dent of three years ago, was present
for the program. DR.. Manfred Lille
fors and w. H. Meigs were the speak
ers.
Senator Gibson founded the city of
Great Falls in 1882 and has since re-
sided here. He was born in Browns
field, Maine, on July /, 1880.
OUR TENDERFOOT ANCESTORS.
"The first people who came over
here were awful, terrible tenderfeet,
they came near starving to death in
the woods which we're filled with the
most magnificent game in the world,
they went hungry where there were
moose bigger than domestic oxen,
where deer roamed by the thousands,
where caribou travelled in great herds,
where wild turkeys walked in the
woods, where quail and ruffled grouse
by the thousands scratched among the
brown leaves and where the under
brush was alive with small game"
writes Dan Beard in Boys Life for
July. added to this were rivers
swarming with fish! Yet the settlers
starved because they did not know how
to help themselves to the feast spread
for them.
The settlers could not at first I'M
derstand the language of the wild;
gradually, however, occasional young
men and boys would break away from
the settlements, join the Indians and
live the lives of Indians; sometimes
they would come back and their stor-
les of the wilderness, of adventure, of
the trail, Of the big game hunting and
the warpath, would send a thrill down
the spines Of the other boys and young
men and cause them to become rest
less and to seek the frontier. Step
by step there grew up on the border
a distinct type of men known as
scouts, or Buckskin men. Nowhere
else on the face of the globe did there
exist a people imbued with the same
idea of personal freedom and at the
same time encircled by magnificent
forests, awe-inspiring mountains, and
a wilderness inhabited by the highest
type of aborigines; nowhere through
the pages of history a there be
found a free people with such a slim
ulating, wonderful opportunity to de-
velop the individual along new, but
natural lines, into magnificent men
suited to a magnificent continent.
Consequently it is not strange that
this new country did produce a unique
and picturesque type of men, known
as Scouts. The thin buff line of deer
skin clad pioneers first attracted at
tention in Virginia, in the middle of
the seventeenth century, they were de-
veloped under the leadership of such
men as Needham, Bats, Bland, Wood,
Fallon and others, who were men of
education living in stockaded plan
tations, that is, fortified farms on
the borderland."

ALICE ARM MINES
 10 CHANGE HANDS

William Martin, Seattle lawyer
 and Alaska mining man, has taken
 an option to purchase the entire
 holdings of the Taylor Mining com pany, Ltd, in the Alice Arm min-
 ing district, British Columbia, which
 includes the famous Dolly Warden
 silver mine and the Wolf mine, and
 a railroad which runs from Alice
 Arm to the Dolly Warden mine, and
 which is graded as far as the Wolf
 mine. This deal calls for an ag-
 gregate payment of two million dol
 lars, five hundred thousand of which
 must be paid before January 31,
 1920. Eleven mining claims are in- volved in the transaction.
 Mir. Martin also has taken an op- tion to purchase the North Star
 claim, a remarkable showing which lies adjoining the Dolly Warden
 group. This option was obtained from James McAleenan, Antonio Za- relli and Dramante Zarilli, who in turn bonded it from the original locators, Gustaf Pearson and o. Eindsen. The Martin option calls for a consideration of $275,000.
 Mir Martin owns, by right of loca- tion, the Kistol No. 1 and No. 2 claims, the Sportsman claim, the Maude McPhee claim, and the Sum-
 init No. 1 and No. 2 claims. These claims were the second locations
 made in the Alice Arm mining dis trict, and were made years ago.
