LONG SIEGE OF SUFFERING.

After weeks of the most intense suf-
vile General hospital where ne Is
receiving the best Of care and atten-
| ton.
berment abated. Mr.. Spencer's trouble
originated from running a large
splinter in his right hand. Blood pois-
oning ensued. A large fragment OF
wood was removed from the hand, but
the wound refused to heal. X-rays
were used to ascertain If any more
of the wood remained in the hand and
several incisions were made without
discovering any foreign substance, but
the hand remained swollen, giving Mr..
Spencer no end of misery. Friday last
Dr. Bevis made another incursion into
the affected member and this time
about an inch of wood was removed,
the residue Of the original splinter.
With the cause Of all his trouble re-
moved Mr.. Spencer is getting back to
normal condition.

g. RAILROADS PROS.
PER OR SUFFER TOGETHER.

ANY basis on which the present
transportation difficulties are solved
must be fair not only to shippers and
employees, but it also must be fair to
those who have honestly invested
their money in railroad securities"
Ralph Budd, president of the Great
Northern railway. declared in connec-
ton with an educational campaign
which the Great Northern railway
started today in the advertising col
umn of every one OF the 500 news
papers along its line from st. Paul to
the Pacific Coast. President Budd said
further: s.
81 believe large part of the criti-
cism directed against the railroads
today comes because of misapprehen-
sion of many of the facts concerning
the railroads. A part of this is due TO
deliberate Misrepresentation by few
who not only misstate the facts, but by
wrong use of the facts themselves lead
others to wrong conclusions, thus Gre
ating sentiment adverse to the rail-
roads.
"Since the war there has been great
distress in some lines of business and
great prosperity in others. The rail
road business and agriculture have
suffered more than any other large
industries, and their difficulties are
singularly alike. Both have been
obliged to pay high prices for what
they bought and both have been
obliged to sell what they produced at
comparatively low prices.
"Unprosperous conditions make it
very easy to convince those whose
business is suffering that the blame
must lie with someone else, and rail
road transportation plays such an i'm
portant part in the activities of other
| lines of business, including that Of the
farmer, that 1t Is not hard to under
stand how many people, especially the
farmers, have been led to believe the
railroads, in some way, are respon-
| sible for most of their troubles.
but the fairness of the public must
be relied upon and provided t., public
can have the whole truth on which Il
may base its judgment, | believe it will
be fair"

FOOD
RUHR

DUSSELDORF, Aug. 1.-By the
Associated Press)6The effects of the
fall of the mark are beginning to show
themselves in a pronounced food
shortage throughout the Ruhr. The
farmers are refusing to exchange
good potatoes for badly deprecated
money. and in consequence OF that
potatoes. meat and other staples are
almost u~nobtainable at any price. The
farmers will not bring to town any
thing h a viii keep. This is true, not
only in the Ruhr. but elsewhere in
Germany. The situation has become
SO acute that an aggravation of the
present shortage. it is felt. would
make food receipts not improbable.
