?Mzn Wh~ r dccteZ a New Remedy. EVEN !N THE THIRD STAGE tis Cined That the Dreaid Cism;e Cr.n Be Arrested and Fria from the Human Body And nov, con.s a nian from Cuba Who says he :::r consunption, even in tbe third sa, with Ber muda oni.-.. anoumes the New York HerC Pofnor Golinski is his name. toan to say he was born in Rahway. N. J.. But for twen ty-five years* the professor has prac ticed on the cor.sumptive patients of the West InIi- and South America. "I am fui'y s ialed." said the pro fessor, "after n experience, that consumption is neither a contagious, infecticus no: inheritcd d4isease. Children bcrn of consnumptive par ents inherit only a predisposition to consumption. but not the disease it self. which is developed in many such children after birth. "The consumntive microbe can never live in the open air, for it a product of the body. Only the germ is thrown off by respiration into the air. It attaches itself to milk food and floats in the atmosphere, ab sorbs oxygen and is reinhaled into the lungs and blood-a healthy, ben eficial germ helping to make the red corpuscles -of the blood in all per sons who do not sufier from degen erated lungs caused by a waste of stamania and vital energy through excessive drink and other causes of a debilitating character draining the blood and system. "I say that consumption may be avoided or speedily cured, especially in its early s:ages. by the use of this wonderful remedy, the Biermuda onion. 'There is no secrecy about it; -nothing that the poorest man. woman or child may not avail himself .off and recover health, vigor and wasted strength. HAS MA2VIELUs I'nOPE2TH'9. ' "Thr- Bermuda onion, by reason of its culture and ingredients, conta!ns miarvelous crative properties of a Mild, oily taste and a specific for tle dread disease. The onion is grown in a specially prepared bed, chiefly of the meal of the castor bean grourd -up. The onion growing in this scil becomes medicated and a great blocd tonic, restoring the weakest stomac *m, building up the nervcs throughout the human system. "This is the process. After or..e eats the onion the gases arising du:. :ing sleep are inhaled into the air sacs of the lungs. destroying the con sumptive microbes. In no other way can these deadly parasites be killed without injury to the delicate lining of the stomach, the intestines, tis. sues, etc. One in the first stages of consumption eating two or three Ber mnnda onions a day with a little salt will immediately begin to rally. Slices of the onion placed between two pieces of buttered bread and -eaten as a sandwich will effect a pos itive :enreC in from three to f-ur 'weeks. "In the second stages of consump tion lit will require about three months to effect a cure. All washes and drains o'f the system must be *avoided-no brandy, whisky or other -intoxicating liquors allowed. .ps"J the third stage of the terrible disease the onions should be eaten faithfully for four months, observing the same abstinencc from liquors of all kinds. 'y '"During the third stage tonics for 'the stomach, liver, heart and bla~Uder should be taken. After careful in zestigations5, extending through a ~serles of years and visiting patients in all 'parts of the southern country, I am convinced that the present treatment of consumptives is wrong ~-especially the use of cold air, which In ni'nety-nine cases out of every hun dred reduces the natural heat of the *langs and produces death through congestion, pneumonia and pleurisy, which become new diseases ac l de stroy life in a few days. 3toTMat TEMI'ERATURE REQUIRED. "'The lungs require a normal temn -perature of 98.4 Fahrenheit of tern peratutre to sustain life in consump tive patients. The cold, open-air treatment which is insisted on, with out guage or regard to the intensity -of the cold upon the superheated 'lungs of from 102 to 103 tempera -ture, is sure to cause congestion and pneumonia, if the temperature falls two degrees below normal. It is nlothing short of manslaughter to ex pose a weak, emaciated, consumptive patient to such a rigor of tempera tur-e. -~~-* -Ancother outrage is the use of cre osote, exp)ecting it when administered into the stomach to destroy the ba -eiiU infesting the lungs and its tis sues. My investigationi proves that creosote. as usuai~-' prescribed, de stroys the' bene2:al mucous coat ing of the ltungs an?d stomach, leav ing the oga in such a condition that when t "e p-itient partakes of food us.any ca':- 'ng theC gastric jui1ce and digesive ac ds te flow into the uncovered stomach and intestines, irritation invar iably sets up and the snmere pains talte the pntient's appe tite. 'Consequlently the organs and tissues most needing food and heat are robbed and left raw and unnour ished. Then the body begins to waste and the terrible emlaciat'o:l and night sweats are increased. 'The third and 'equally harmful re'medy is the indige:mtihc cod liver .011 so often acanniatered. It is gvensy and nauseatisg, clogs the sys tem and shoud never bc used by consumnptives.

TRAINER DOWN ON MEAT. Mike Murphy Tells That Eggs and Milk Form Best Diet. "Mike"r Murphy's tallk was the fea ture of a recent session of the con ferenc of physical directors of the Young Men's Christian Asso cation of Pennsylvania, and the Penn trainer imparted consider able valuabic information con cerning athletic methods. Hints drawn from his experience interested a large audience which assembled in the gymnasium of the University of Pennsylvania. Penn's famous train er said in part: "Adopt a simple bill of fare and use it consistently. Milk and eggs are the best foundation. They are nourishing and readily digested. Twenty-five years ago at training tables the men were fed what was practically raw beef. Oatmeal, but tered toast and other heavy arLicles were standard. We have got away from this now, but even yet we use too much meat. A steak or chop is al: right occasionally; oysters also. if a man can stand them. Fish is to be avoided, as well as heavy cereals. "Do not artificially stimulate your men. This practice is prevalent and perniciius. I have seen trainers be fore races give boys cold douches, aromatic spirits and strychnine. There may be something in stimu lants, but my experience has no' found it. I have never used stin ulants on a good man, and no others ught to compete. The best stimu lant is Nature. Let Nature alone! "I advocate a gymnasium for every branch or club. It is a valuable thing to have, but good work can be done without an elaborat-, outfit. Ar range a few simple weights and bars, nside or outside, and you will get reat good from the experiment." George Kistler, Penn's swimming instructor, addressed the physical di rectors on the value of swimming as an exercise and the advance of the sport in the past twenty years. In LSS5. Professor Kistler pointed out, the 100-yard was done in lm. 12s.; last year the time was fifty-eight seconds. He ascribed the reason to increased knowledge of mechanics nd physiologyj.-Philadelphia Rec rd. ive Your Horse Regular Exercise. As to exercise, this must depend pon what a horse is kept for, and pected to do, but it must be reg ular, and any lack of it must be in ~tant~.y met by a corresponding re uctionl in both the amount and the ourishing quality of the food.

It is calculated that the amount of heat given off by the human body within twenty-four hours would be sufficient, if concentrated, to bring a nine-inch cube of steel to a white heat. It is this heat which literally burns u!p the body, and the very first day that a man ceases to renew the tissues by taking food he loses about hal a pound or a pound in weight. rain workers give off a greater mount of heat than physical work ers;1hence they are more liable to ollapse.

LAKE SHORE ROAD INVOLVED Oil Company if Convicted May Be Mulcted in $380,000 Fines More Indictments Expected 'Evidence Taken in Cleveland. Chicago.-After an investigation lasting just three hours and a half the Standard Oil Company was in dicted by the special Federal Grand Jury on the charge of accepting re bates from the Lake Shore and Mich igan Southern Railroad. There are nineteen counts in the indictment, and the penalty, if conviction follows, may be $20,000 r-- each count, or a total of $380,000 in fines, while the total amount of rebates received is the comparatively insignificant sum of $8500. No Individuals were indicted, neither was the railroad company that gave the rebates, but the Grand Jury has not completed its work yet, and this first indictment is expected to be followed by a long list of others. It is said to be not improbable that officials of the Lake Shore Railroad and the Standard Oil Company will be indicted. There is some question whether indictments may not be re turned against Captain G. J. Gram mer, Vice-President of the New York Central lines, the man who is respon sible for the acts of the freight de partment 6f the Lake Shore road. The inquiry will turn upon the question of whether the Standard Oil Company entered into a conspiracy with some of the railroads to ob',ain secret and discriminating rates in re straint of trade and whether the Standard Oil Company and its sub sidiary companies do not constitute a trust. The reason why the jury was able to return an indictment within so short a time was that all the testi mony had previously been taken at Cleveland, and it was necessary only to read to the jurors the transcript of the evidence in the presence of the witnesses who had given it. It was not even necessary to call all the men who had been summoned, and in fact the only witnesses who were called were J. L. Clark, General W'estern Freight Agent of the Lake Shore; C. A. Slauson, General Freight Agent at Cleveland; Henry L. Meyer, clerk in the Freight Auditor's office, and Geo. T. Roberts, of the Inter-State Com missioner's office. The indictment alleges that by the system of granting the Standard Oil Company rebates or concessions, that corporation benented to the extent of $?500 between August, 1903, and February, 1905. Each count sets up a rebate of between $300 and $500 a month which the Standard Oil Com pany received by reason of the fact that the Lake Shore Railroad Com pany did not enforce from it the pay ment of storage charges on its prod ucts at the warehouse of the railroad at Eighteenth street, Chicago. CHICAGO MAIL ORDEB HOUSES ffer to Pay Six Per Cent. on Deposits of From $5 to $3000. Chicago. - Chicago mail order houses threaten to cut into the ousi ness of interior banks, and country bankers are up in arms over the In cursion planned into their territory and legitimate occupation. For weeks the agricultural sections of Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Nebraska and Missouri have been flooded with cir cular letters addressed to farmers. mechanics and merchants in the smaller towns and villages, offering as high as six per cent. for deposits and the return of certificates payable on demand. The mail order houses are adver tising, "Do your banking with us," and offering to accept money in amnounts from $5- to $5000, send a certificate for it, and pay six per cent. interest semi-annually. The money may be had on demand and surrender of the certificate. It is also pro vided that the depositor may buy goods against such bank account with the company, and have the amount deducted from his deposit. BIG PRIZE IN LAND LOTTERY.

THE LID OON IN SARATOGA Gambling Stops and Thick Gloom Spreads Over Resort Done by Governor's Orders-Not a Wheel Turns Nor a Chip Falls in Canfield's or Ullman's. Saratoga, N. Y.-The gamble: . by fighting among themselves have killed the goose that laid the golden egg. Saratoga is a closed town. Not a card is turned, nor a wheel is spun. The gambling house proprietors and their dealers stand gloomily in the hotels and on the street corners dis consolately decrying the hard luck, as they call It, which has befallen them. The "lid," of New York metaphor, is on and battened down, so far as gambling at cards and as to gambling clubs are concerned. Following the raid on Ullman's Bridge Whist Club an official order was issued to the proprietors of all the gambling houkes, directing them to close, as ambTIEiin fut.ie would not be per mitted in Saratoga. The order was in terms that coa vinced the owners-of gambling clubs, and forthwith there was a general closing early in the day, the.morning sessions at faro and roulette being cut off so promptly that in some cases the players were turned out of thI gafnbling houses at once. The races broke the monotony of the afternoon, but when night came, and rain with it. the visitors a' Saratoga had the chance to realize what it meant to have 'the lid on." The sudden action by the author ities in stopping gambling was a di rect result of a visit to the summer resort by Fra-Y Perley, secretary of Governor Higg'as. He consulted with the Sheriff, the Chief of Police and the village officials, and the order to close the gambling houses was the result. The closing was none the less absolkte and complete, for even Rich ard Canfield's Saratoga Club, where ways were found to accommodate patrons by roundabout methods, was closed tight, so far as gambling is concerned. The smaller gambling clubs were in darkness, the proprietors in some cases going so far as to remove their gambling furniture. "Joe" Ullman, in spite of his boast, did not move new gambling imple ments into the Bridge Whist Club and resume business. Ullman's place was shut as tight as the other gam bling houses. Among the gamblers, Ullman was blamed for having precipitated their trouble, but the general view was that Canfield was the real cause of the sudden move. It was said that Canfield had instigated the movement against Ullman, whose clubrooms had attracted patrons from Canfield's Saratoga Club. Governor Higgins' essage ended the affair, for the ?e ief among the gamblers is that all r none shall be permitted to conduct usiness. The presence of Secretary Perley t the race track ca-used some excite ent,. as it was said that he went here to witness the method of race rack betting with a view to reporting o Governor Higgins. The word was assed around that bets must be made ith as. little display of money as ossible. The alarm had its influence oly on the first race,. however, as oney transactions were absolutely ecesary in the volume of business hat went on. NAYY BAN ON TATTOOING. Salors Taking Steps to.

HEE USES TO 00 TO ASYRU1M Miss Calhoun, of Augusta, Ga., Shoots Herself. Bullet Pierces a Tin Picture of the Man She Loved Placed Over Her Breast-Declared Insane. Augusta, Ga.-Rather than go to an insane asylum, where her relatives sought to send her, Miss Ida Calhoun, eighteen years old, a niece of the Rev. C. M. Wilkinson, a prominent Baptist clergyman of this city, fired a bullet into her breast. The mortal shot was fired just as a lunacy com mission, which had been appointed to decide the question of the girl's san ity, came to the conclusion that she should be committed to Dr. Mc Naughton's Sanatorium. The girl killed herself under pe culiar circumstances. She escaped the vigilance of her nurse, who had been engaged to watch her, and, rushing to the West View Cemetery, she stood on the grave of her mother. Then she took the photograph of the man with whom she was in love from the folds of her skirt, and, placing the picture against her breast, fired a bullet through it and died instantly. Miss Calhoun was a member of one of the most prominent families in this part of the State. She inherited more than $100,000 fromhermother, and she lived most of the time with her uncle. The death of the mother, however, seemed to have affected the girl's mind. She became melancholy and her relatives asserted also that she was suffering from hallucina tions. They suggested to her that she go to a quiet retreat where she would receive medical attention, but Miss Calhoun refused. When it became apparent to the relatives that the girl's condition was becoming worse, they applied for a lunacy commission, which was ap pointed. The girl resented the ap pointment of the commission, and refused to appear before the com missioners. The men who were ap pointed to determine Miss Calhoun's mental condition resolved to have a talk with her and they went to her house. Miss Calhoun was compelled to dress and appear before the com missioners. who questioned her about an hour. She was told that she could retire, but instead of going to bed, the girl slipped out of the house and went to the cemetery. Not knowing that the girl had lied, the commissioners' considered the evidence they had taken and Elnally concluded that Miss Calhoun was insane and that she should be ent to an asylum. One of the girl's relatives went. up to Miss Calhoun's room after the commissioners left the ouse, but found that she had gone. The house was searched in vain. Che police were informed of Miss Cal ioun's escape and a search was made. N'o trace of her was obtained until ne of the caretakers in the cemetery sent word to the police that a girl had committed suicide on a grave. [t was found that Miss Calhoun had killed herself on the grave- of her mother. BANK TELLER WRAY CAUGHT. Pittsbrurg Absconder Will Not Resist Extradition From Canada. Toronto, Ontario. - Clinton B.

E. J., Carlisle, writes: I have a bunch of twenty-nine calves averag Ing forty pounds. - I have plenty of cowpea nay and 1000 bushels of corn for the wintering and will have plen ty of blue grass and clover pasture for summer. Would it be more prof itable to put these calves on full feed or keep them over and -grass them? What is the best feed to fat ten? Answer-It is quite impossible to advise what is the best policy to pur sue with regard to feeding a bunch of calves or holding them over dur-. ing the winter and finishing on grass. There a-e so many cattle going on the market in the fall off grass that it seems sometimes that the better policy would be to fee'd them during the winter so as to keep them grow Ing and in- good condition and put them or. grass for two or three months and finish them in June or JuLy, while the.. pastures are still good and the cattle' can *be fattened with a minimum amount of grain. This saves the pastures during the hot, dry weather of summer, which Is a matter worth considering. Of course, cattle can generally. be finished cheaper on grass than in. the stall. The season has a niatefial in-. fluence and the price of land is also an important factor. In sections of the country'where hay is high priced meadows can often be used for hay production to advantage. One ac quainted with local conditions can figure out these matters and deter mine the liest policy to pursue. Blue grass and:clover. make an ideal pasture. If the land Is-rich one should make as much as 300 to 400 pounds of gain on good, growthy heifers dluring- the grazing season. To do this you need to reserve one to three acres of land for each ani-. mal. Wien you figure up the rent or taxes on this land and its value if allowed to produce hay it will not be hard to tell whether it Is better to finish the heifers with the feed you have or carry them over the summer. If you feed them this winter you should be able to m'ake 'them grow right along with,plenty of cowpea hay and corn and cob meal mixed with cottonseed meal, gluten meal or ]insegi meal. Mix.the feedsin equal parts. It you have some shredded stover or other dry roughness, feed as much of It as they- will -consume along with ten to fifteen pounds of cowpea hay. Cattle fed on dry foods should take to grass kindly, and it will not be necessary to, feed them much if any grain when the early sap gets out of the grass. .Cattle fed as suggested should put on a good deal of flesh and not so; much fat, and should be in idea! condition to take on "sap," as the saying is, when turned on grass and finish off rapid ly.-Knorville Tribune. Concentrates For Cows. T. D. H., Glade. Spring,Va., writes: I have two Jersey cows, two years old, and have been feeding them clo ver hay and top fodder for rough ness. At night I have been cutting up a portion of this feed and inixing~ with it one-half gallon-'of chop (with shorts left in) per head. As a mohn ing feed I wish to use wheat bran and cottonseed meal,. and would 'ike to know the best proportions and the quantity to use. These cows will calve in May, and are now giving about one and a half gallons of milk per head per day. Is there any dan ger of producing abortion by over-* feeding above? Would also like to know the best food to give a six months'-old standard bred colt to se., cure best development, regardless of cost.. Answer-Good clover hay and top fodder wfll furnish suitable forms ,o roughness for dairy cows. Give themn all they will eat of this mixture, and you can thereby save a little on the concentrates, particularly as' elover hay contai'ns quite a high per cent. of digestible proteIn, and supplies the cow with one'of the necessary elements of nutrition, in a .cheaper form than you can purchase it through concentrates. You speak of the igea1 you are ow giving as one-half gallon of chop with the shorts left in. I am at a loss to know what you mean by this. Chop may be made up of a great va rIety of things. If you mean bran and middlings, for instance, you are only giving the cow a little over one and a halt pounds of grain at a feed. This is a very little ration for cows g'iving the amount of milk men tioned. It is much better to feed animels by weight. or at least to have a measure-with marks aloon the sides so you can tell at a glance when you are giving a pound of a given foodstuff.

FoodstUl vary greatly in weight. For instance,. a quart of wheat bran weighs about one-fbalf pound, and a quart offt'b6 tonseed meal one and a half pounds. Thus, if you were to feed one-half gallon of cottonseed meal you would be giving three pounds; 'on the other hand you would be only giving, one pound of bran. To feed intelligently, therefore, one must get down to the weights and measures. I am aware that. many people .hink that using weights a is "abcIe eentifimen, but If they will stop and think a: lit tle they will see that'i, ls- the only basis by which youCdah: taiuge 'what you are. doing. Make a mixture by weight of- one-third cottonseed metl and two-third wheat bran, or, better still, if you can get some corn and cob meal make a mixture of equal parts. This ration may be fed to your cows at the'rite;f oiet6 one and' a half _oIndi p'et 'LO pounds of live weight, depending. onr-,the milk flow and period of lac.tioi Cows weighing 800 to 10.06 pounds will consume. from six to ten pounds of grain per head per daf with profit The amount. fed znust be gaiged by the feeder, "and-this-in-turd 'will be determined by the flow of milk ob tained. As much as three pounds cottonseed meal can be fed wi feet safety' and it will n rodu abortion if, fed with oper discre tion. It should be fed imme diately before or aujt aftergpihturA tion.. Whea bran will be..te tmok desirable concentrate you can iue at this time. A standard, bred colt should be fed liberally on protein or muscle mak Ing foods. - You can not' obtain any thing much better than wiole or crushed oats, and you can feed them liberally without danger .of. injuring the animaL Bright, .lea; clover hay wvill also be a desirable addition -to the Tation, but if 'it ls iill dusty it should not be fed. In that case timothy hay should be fed. An ani mal should not be allowed to con-, sume ioo much timothy, howevdi& as it is likely to cause anr undue devel opment of the stoinach and' interfere with the symnmetry of the animal. Give the colt -all-ibUe sl.it it Zee-, plenty of exercise And good a water and k6ep it o.n.pasture as'mqh as - possible. A 'poonfdl of 1&bd meal added to the ratiou, each day wil prove stimuatng-ro 'the apetite and help the animal in good condi tion.

Soue:;" Making Siae. . If any of you .31ave, had ~doubts about the use of'edisilage in Frorida, you can have' them put" to. rest by' reading the report of a Florida far mer as- pirblished in the Rural'Ndw Yorket: ''7 I haen bden feeing silage for the. past eighteen years,'- and--have iad no trouble in: preserving it. I am ~now' using two underground silos, with a combined capacity-h-f T65 tons. .1I have tried jse,veral digerent crops for filling, 'such 'as ~cow 'pdas, velvet beans, 'and' kaffir-corn. They all kept well and made a fair quagfi of silage, but I think thatfp 'yioint" of;economyaan& 'quality'of feed, there is nothing to comipare with~ fodder corn Tli& corp slpulf be. cut when the graim begis 'to, glag or as our Southerni farmer's "'will un derstand best, when the fodder is r'eady.'to pull, which should be abd@$ the -last? of -July- or \the, first of Au gust. However, it is seldom that -we~ can wait.quite this late,-as the corn - begins' to fire, and unless .there. is sufficient rain sto keep-glieower leaves green there will be more loss than gain by waiting. Sometimes in a very dry season we have to .if' before the corn quite reaches' the roasting ear sftage. 'There. is-but one special preqaution necessary to keep , silage in this or any other Elimate, and that is to 'pack thorogh%,'im if your silo be square, special care must be taken in packing the sides, ends,. and corners. I have never fcd silage later than July 15, though I see no reason.ghy it should not keep all summer. Howr ever, we do not need silage~here after June 1, as thererpre so mn green crops that can be 'fed direct from the field. I do not consider that there is any room for compari son between silag and dry fodder for this locality, as bwing to ouir un Icertain elimate it is impractical to shock our corn.-R..
