The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-09-19

Under his urging the astonished pillow
horse developed quite surprising
speed; in a couple of minutes they
were on the old road to the quarry
and g moment later horse and rider
dashed into the rock-rimmed cut which
overhung the river.
Grants first glimpse was of Zen; she
had struggled to her feet; thank God
she was not dead. Then he saw the
two men by the edge of the cliff
Transley he recognized; saw the knife
rise and strike
The blow Grant landed in Drazk's
face sent that gentleman spinning like
a top. Like top, too, Drazk wobbled
at the end of his spin; wobbled over
the edge of the precipice, and dropped
out of sight.
Grant fell on his knees beside the
stricken Transley; leaned over; raised
the quivering form In his arms. Zen
beside him. drew the sorely mangled
head to her breast and whispered
words of endearment into ears soon
closing to all mortal sounds.
Presently Transley opened his eyes
They were sane. quiet eyes now; the
fight was over; only the eternities lay
ahead.
"Grant-tell me one thing" he muir
INJURED. "You have been straight
with Zen?"
"As God hears me-" Grant an
swered.
For an instant the eyes of the rivals
and friends-met; rivals no longer
friends only, forever. Then the form
of Transley shivered in the arms OF
Zen and Dennison Grant shivered, and
settled into eternal sleep.
The sun of another summer was
flooding the tawny TANKS of the foot
hills when Zen and Dennison Grant
rode together over the old trail to the
Y.D. Since Transley' death Grant had
not spoken to Zen of love; he seemed
to know that at the proper time Zen

The outbreak has been expensive
about S5,500000 to the state and fed
eral governments jointly. The total
indemnity involved exceeded $4,000
600. and the cost of eradicating the
scourge was approximately s1.250.OOO.
About 107,0 900 animals had to be sacri-
feed, of which $1,000 were cattle, 40
600 sheep and the rest hogs.

No Privacy These Days

A fapper and her best boy were
seated alone together on the sofa. lis
tening in for the first time with the
latter's new wireless set. Nor did the
fact that both of them were wearing
their headphones prevent them from
snatching an occasional kiss. Just as
they were in the middle of one par

the title of the next song: Take

r UNCLE SAM has enlisted in the
fight against leprosy from a
~ new angle. At the Department
Of Agriculture's station at
Bell, Md, the government is engaged
in propagating chaulmoogra plants;
from which oil will be obtained to treat
lepers.
About go plants are growing in
Maryland and more than 1900 have al
ready been shipped to Hawaii, the
Philippines, the Canal Zone and Porto
Rico, to mature in the warmth of a
tropical sun. There is no place in the
United States where the trees will de-
velop fully.
This work has been going on since
1920, when Joseph F. Rock, agricul-
tural explorer attached to the Office
of foreign seed and plant -introduc-
ton, visited the jungles of Burma and
Siam searching for chaulmoogra trees.
Tracing chaulmoogra history, Mr..
Rock found that it's seeds and oil

Born Salesman

A small boy was complaining to a
sympathetic neighbor of his fathers
suddenly acquired penuriousness. He
wasn't giving his offspring money for
Ice cream and soda water as before
and the latter was greatly stirred over
the change in his parents nature.
"Papa's saving his money, but I tell
him it's foolish" he observed.
Saving, eh?" commented the neigh
Dor.
"Yes. Papa said he's saving to buy
baby, but think I'll be able to talk
him out of it."~New York Sun and

Feminine Wit

William Lyon Phelps was discussing
a well-known woman novelist.
"She has no sense of humor," he
said, "but she has something that
makes up for it-like the man, you
know, who had admitted that his left
leg was shorter, but added that his
right leg made up for it, being longer"
"a critic said to this woman novelist
one day:
".Most women have no sense of hui
NOR
"'Well, what of itY said she. Most
men have no sense at ALL"

Earn, Children

The farm population of the nation
although less than 80 per cent of the
total, is carrying more than 80 per
cent of the child population. says a
United States bulletin. The farm is
charged with the duty of educating
this excess of youth and turning it
over to the cities at the producing age.

During the study the disease dis
appeared from the institutions, al
though a considerable prevalence at
large in the corresponding States
continued. More recently Gold.
berger and Tanner treated eight
cases Of pellagra with fresh beef
as the only known therapeutic ele-
ment, in the diet. In every case,
they say, improvement followed the
Inauguration of the beef treatment.
The preventive value of milk was
similarly tested in q group Of
twenty-nine inmates Of a State sana-
torium. On experimenting the

Of buttermilk, no one developed
pellagra during a period Of obser-
walton lasting one year. Fresh but
ter from pasture-fed cows) and cod
liver oil ingested daily failed to
prevent pellagra in the several in.
stances in which they were tried.
THE primary etiologic factor in
this disease. as these investigators
point out, seems to be a faulty
protein mixture, a deficiency in
some unrecognized dietary complex,
or a combination Of these. II pella-
gra may be completely prevented by
dietary changes, the idea that 1t is
communicable disease loses its
principal support"

.M'FADDEN BILL
To FAIL THIS
SESSION
Measure Easing Up National
Bank Laws sidetrackad
by Opposition

Liberalization Of the national
nanldng laws to enable national
banks to compete more successfully
ana on more nearly equal terms
with State banks. as proposed in
the McFadden bill, probably IA
doomed to failure at this session.
House leaders had the legislation
scheduled for consideration yester.
day but it was showed aside for
other measures. and it was NOT
placed on the program for today.
Republican Leader Longworth said
1t might be considered later hut
there was uncertainty about It.
The reason for Withholding the
legislation from the House, It IA
said, IL because OF opposition to II
and a desire by Democratic and
other members to see It changed in
some important particulars. This
would lead to much delay in Get.
ting q vote on passage Of the bill
and would block much legislation
awaiting action by the House to
which there is little or no objection.
One feature Of the bill which ia
opposed is that which allows ma.
tional banks to engage in a limited
way In branch banking in those
states where state laws permit
such banking. Most Of the Demo.
cratic members Of the House Bank.
Ing ana Currency Committee are
opposed to branch banking by ma
tional banks as tending to central
ization Of the banking business and
the diversion Of money to the
banking centers.

Coral Snakes Bite Deadliest.

The coral snake, so small it is not
considered dangerous. has the dead
liest poison of any snake found in this
part of the Southwest, DR.. Charles ].
Vorhies head of the department of
biology at the University of Arizona,
said in a recent lecture here, accord
ing to an Associated Press dispat tch
from Tucson, Ariz.
The coral, the annulated snake and
the rattlesnake are the only types of
poisonous snakes in this region, DR..
Vorhies explained. The annulated
snake is rarely found. he added, so
that people are in little danger OF be-
ing bitten by any variety except the
rattlesnake.
In his opinion. the gila monster has
poison less dangerous than that of the
rattlesnake. Despite popular opinion
to the contrary, the campomocha, an
insect, the vinegaron and the child Of
the desert are harmless creatures, the
scientist stated.

From The lndsor MagaAht.
Do you know those distressing peopl.

begin to worry about coming home?
I met one in the train the other day.
She was being seen off, by a friend,
and this was the burden of her conver-
sation.
'T suppose I can't reserve my seat
for coming home? What a bother! But
/ shall send my luggage in advance"
"I shall wear my blue serge costume
for coming home in. I hope it will be II
fine day; I hate coming home in the
rain
Il mustn't lose the return half Of my
ticket, and I'll ask about the time Of
the train for coming back as soon as
arrive. to make sure
We'll. good-by for the present, dear.
I'm quite looking forward to coming
back
