featured players in this story of laughs
and misunderstanding and the cast
also includes such well known screen
players as Slim Summerville, Virginia
Sale, Ben Alexander, Vivien Oakland,
Roscoe Harms and j. C.. Nugent.
Many Slip" tells the romantic
story Of a girl and boy, with the
girl discovering that she has fallen in
love with the young man. Feeling
that he has positive ideas against
marriage, and wishing to become his
wife, the artful young lady allows him
to think that she is expecting an in
teresting event-and they are married
at once.
From this point in the story COM
plications pile up at a swift pace, and
the plot is further thickened by the
troubles of a housemaid.
Laugh follows laugh, until the whole
story finally explodes in a gale Of
merriment-but not until the char
acters have found themselves in ex-
ceedingly hot water.

DULUTH TRIBUNE
SAYS SEE RANGES
DULUTH NEWSPAPERS ARE AD-
VOCATING A VISIT TO THE
RANGES BY TOURISTS WHO
VISIT THAT CITY-NEVER TO BE
REGRETTED.

The Duluth News-Tribune editori-
ally advised the tourists visiting that
city to visit the iron ranges. The idea
of calling attention to the towns and
cities on the iron ranges which are in
a large measure responsible for the
progressiveness of the Zenith City is
a good one and those taking the ad-
vice will never regret it. In the edi-
torial the News Tribune of Tuesday
morning says:
aside from these immediate Head
of the Lakes cities, Duluth and Su-
perior, and Lake Superior itself, the
greatest attractions to the tourists
from all other parts of Minnesota and
all other states and countries are the
Vermilion and Mesaba iron ranges.
As few or no travellers visit the ranges
without seeing Duluth and the lake,
so few, if any, visit Duluth without
extending the trip to the wonderful
iron ranges, only an hour or so away.
These ore deposits are unequalled
attractions. Some of the mines, like
the Mahoning and the Missabe Noun
tain, are veritable poems in iron ore.
What is there in the land to equal
them in beauty? And then what
power they suggest.
AT all of the important mining
towns, and indeed most of the smaller
ones, enterprising officials have pro-
vided well paved ways to the edges of
the great excavations, where there are
platforms with outlooks into the pits
of ore where men labor with great
machines, and where ore trains NAV
be seen taking on loads for the ships
waiting down at the Head of the
Lakes.
Where could the tourist see the
like of what he can see from such
stations? The colossal stripping
dumps which are seen in mining re-
gions look like young mountain ranges
That illusion will be emphasized when
range enterprise has clothed these
dumps with growing forests of pine
and deciduous trees.
Tourists should take time to see and
admire Minnesota's greatest, indeed
the worlds greatest, procession OF
giants, the Vermilion, the Mesaba and
the Guyana ranges. There is much
else. See how the fertile farms crowd
the ore areas. See the great paved
ways See the marvellous changing
vistas and scenes. See the dominant
Mesaba hills. See the great schools
and hotels. Naturally then, drift back
to Duluth, the kindly queen Of al
Arrowhead land, visit this most
beautiful of cities, and look out upon
the waters of this inland sea-"

Flood Lights Demonstrated.

Frank Cogins and L Runberg, repre-
senting the Giant Manufacturing COM
pany of Council Bluffs. Iowa, were in
the city Tuesday evening and demon
strated flood light system at the City
Hall. Bill Strand is the local repre-
sentative for the firm. The demon
stration was well put on and met with

POISON WILL GET
CUCUMBER BEETLES

If cucumber beetles are bothering
your cucumbers at this time, their
ravages can be stopped by the use OF
a busting mixture composed of one
pound of calcium arsenate and Is
pounds of gypsum, or land plaster,
says A. G. Ruggles, state entomologist
University Farm, st. Paul. The plants
must be thoroughly covered with this
dust, especially around the base of the
stems and the tender shoots, if it is
to be used effectively

Food Poisoning Season Here.


The season of summer food poison
ing being at hand the Minnesota State
Medical Association reviews the vari-
Gus food hazards of the hot months.
For most people 'ptomaine" is still
synonymous for all food poisoning and
every abdominal upset called that un-
til possible ruptured appendix or
DISTRACTED intestine proves otherwise,
says this bulletin.
"Ptomaine poisoning is, strictly
speaking. chemical food poisoning, "
the association experts say. In order
to fall victim to ptomaine poisoning it
would be necessary to eat emphatic
ally tainted and spoiled food. Very
few people, indeed, can be tricked into
eating food that is badly enough
spoiled to be source of ptomaines.
Consequently this type of poisoning
has had an entirely undeserved pub
licity in the fiction and newspapers of
the past.
Bacterial food poisoning is much
more common the bulletin says. It
may occur in quite palatable foods
that have, nevertheless, been allowed
to stand long enough in the warm air
for bacterial growths to form. Fish
salads are special offenders but it may
occur in many other kinds of food
that are improperly refrigerated or
cared for.
Such poisoning is marked by in
testinal upSets, pain and vomiting, the
doctors say. Usually, however, more
than one person, in fact, everybody
who ate the poisoned food falls victim
to it and anyone who suspects food
poisoning as the cause of his trouble
should Immediately inquire if any
one else shares his misfortune Other
wise he should always suspect a pos
sible appendicitis or something equally
serious with similar symptoms as the
cause of his trouble
Botulism which occurs as the re-
suit OF improper canning and curing
of foods, attacks the central nervous
system instead of the CASTRO intestinal
tract, the bulletin points out. About
Is attacks of this poisoning occur in
the United States every year and usu-
ally as the result of eating home
canned vegetables. The organism re-
sponsible for the trouble survives the
brief cooking sometimes given home
canned foods and lives to manufacture
deadly poisons in the sealed cans.
Proper canning according to Depart
ment Of Agriculture instructions viii
eliminate this form of poisoning
which is rare but so dramatic when it
comes as never to escape the notice of
headlines.
The danger Of mistaling other seri-
Gus abdominal disorders for food
poisoning is emphasized as a con-
clusion to this bulletin.
II you think you have eaten
poison food, look around you for
another victim is the warning. "If
you don't find one, never forget that
acute appendicitis may be the blame

AUTO ACCIDENT
CAUSES DEATH
THREE MONTHS-OLD GIRL is
KILLED AND EIGHT PERSONS
INJURED IN HEAD ON COL
LISION WEST OF THE CITY ON
HIGHWAY IS.

One of the worst smaShups ever to
occur in this vicinity took place Fri
day night at about HOO o'clock when
two cars came together head on five
miles west of the city on the highway
between here and Tower.
Edward Benson of Soudan was
driving car towards Ely and j. w.
Herranen was on the road to Tower.
It is supposed that binding lights
caused the drivers to misjudge the
distance between the two vehicles and
they came together, almost directly
mead on.
The Benson car was occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Benson and three
months-old daughter, Miss Norma
Nicholson, Mrs. Hugo johnson and
Frank Benson of Soudan. The Her.
ranen car contained j. w. Herranen,
William Martell and Miss Alice Harri
Of this city. In the crash the Benson
child was killed and all the others
were severely cut, broken and bruised
The unfortunates were brought to
the Shipman Hospital in this city
where Drs. Parker and Sutherland
with the assistance of a bevy of nurses
dressed the wounds and made the
victims as comfortable as possible
The Benson family were removed the
following day to the hospital at
Soudan. The others are still at the
Shipman Hospital where they are
getting along as well as possible con-
sidering the nature of their injuries
Both OF tins cars were almost COM
pletely demolished and it is, a miracle
that all were not killed.

ORE SHIPMENTS FAR
BEHIN0 LAST YEAR

During the month of June 1908 044
gross tons of Lake Superior iron ore
was shipped by vessel from upper lake
ports. This compares with $3.50, AL
tons shipped in June of last year
Shipments for the season to July /
amount to 5,753,26O gross tons COM
pared with 15,737,573 tons for the cor
responding period in 1880. The low
rate of shipment is due to the low rate
of operations at lower lake furnaces
and to the large stocks of ore already
on hand at lower lake docks and fur
naces.

Alexander Berkman, deported from

While deportation is somewhat
harsh because countries receiving the

method is very effective in removing
