EDITORIAL NOTE How to Measure the Contents of the Brain so Far as Its Dynamics are Concerned. [ The series of articles which will appear under the above heading , con tributed by C. F. W. Marquardt , Neu rologist and Opthalmologlst , will bo Interesting and Instructive , so that If followed carefully the reader will be able to extract mental and physical benefits. Some of the propositions may appear remarkable In view of the popular view extant ; but the object in giving them to the public Is to cul tivate reasoning powers and to show that popular Ideas are fads , nnd why. ] This Is ono of the most Interesting stories of all because none of 'you suspected that you had gauges at tached to you Just as a steam holler has , nnd you have two of them If you are all there , just as the holler has They are your eyes , and by taking an Instrument called the Ophtlmluio scope the expert neurologist may look In either eye and toll ns much of your quality nnd quantity of your blood as an engineer can tell about the water In the boiler by his glass gauge Then wo can take the two eyes to nether , or If one of them happens to bo a glass eye we can get along wltl one and measure the amount of pressure sure , supplied by the nerve tank which dynamic test Is corroborate ! by other dynamic tests and by static tests with instruments and by othe means so that when the examlnntloi Is completed we not only know how much energy Is used by that person each day , but wo know If ho Is using too much and where the leak Is nn < how to stop It , and this is why neurol ogy affords opportunity for old chron Ics to get well. It does not work by fright or fermentation. Our patient are required to follow Instructions am wo are given a reason for each Item with an explanation of the effects o treatment during the first few weeks The reader > knows , If he has eve been connected with the moving o household goods , that it took severa days before he got settled , and the some more days before you felt per fectly at home , and if you suffered a little sickness it did not alarm you. still it wasn't pleasant. This Is just the way with the prac tice of Neurology. It is absolutely safe and while It causes homesick ness , sea sickness etc. , at first. It rarely - ly lasts longer than the sensations above referred to. There are tables of the dynamics of the nervous sys tem In which is given the strain dis tributed throughout Khe body , and these tables are so accurate that the doctor proves his examining finely by calculating the age of the patient upon data. This is a professional se cret , however. He would be offended If asked to disclose the age of his patients. It may he safely concluded that the Neurologist knows how to fit glasses perfectly and many people flock to such doctors for that work alone , and it is sometimes embarrassing when he refuses to take the case. The cir cumstances under which he refuses to take a case are these : Someone has a friend who was treated by the Neurologist and who was given a pair of glasses as a part of the treatment. Great relief came and the patient or friend or both gave all the credit to the glasses , when they only did a small share ; or the case referred to may have been entirely different from one presenting itself and glasses may have been all that was needed , but the doctor knows the difference nnd he would not only bo foolish to let the patient tell him what was needed , but would be doing a great wrong to himself and the patient. No one should patronize any doctor In whom he has no confidence and no doctor should take any case where he knows confidence is lacking , because be can not afford to risk his reputation for a few paltry dollars. A doctor who understands his busi ness and whose business is based so thoroughly upon mathematics as Neu rology Is , can not only afford to dic tate to his patients but ho can not af ford not to. The public should under stand that when he takes a case It is a favor to that person. It is certainly no particular favor to recommend a patient to the doctor to go to him to be treated when the patient lacks con fidence In the doctor. The next ar ticle will be , "Why and Because.

TYELVE FINE ANIMALS ON ZIT- SLAUQH FARM DEAD. NO EVIDENCE OF LIGHTNING But There Is , For That Matter , No Ev idence of Anything Else That Could Have Effected the Death of the Beasts So Suddenly. [ From Tuesiluv's O.illv. ] What Is responsible for the sudden ind mysterious death of twblvo heal- by looking cattle during the night it the farm of Frank /Itslaugh , south ) f the city ? Did lightning strike them , without leaving a mark on the barn ? Did they die of poisoning In their food , while their mates continued to live nnd grow fatter ? Or did the boasts , tired of the rainy weather , form a mil- cldo club nnd cud their lives together ? These arc the questions which have been running through , the mind of Mr. Eltslaugh since ho got up yester day morning , wont to the stable nnd found twelve of his choicest animals stone dead. There was not a slngh- mark on the barn to Indicate thai lightning had struck the place , nor had any report of lightning heou heard during the night. There was no mark on the cattle to show that they had been maliciously slaughtered by a hostile being , nnd the owner Is quite nt a loss to understand how they did come or could come , so silently and so mysteriously and yet BO quick ly and surely to their deaths. When the cattle had been locked up for the night , they were all looking well nnd apparently feeling well. They had eaten tholr usual meal and other cattle that nto the same fol > ds arc allvo to tell the story , If they only would. VINCENT STAFFORD RESTS AS EASILY AS POSSIBLE. BADLY HURT IN WAGON WHEEL The Little 7-Year-Old Son of Mr. and Mrs. P. Stafford Was Whirled Completely - pletely Around by a Wheel and Ground In It Hoped Not Serious. TFrotn Tliursthiv'H Dnllv ] Vincent Stafford , 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. P. Stafford , Is very bad ly bruised about the head nnd body as a result of the accident in which lie was mangled Tuesday night by a delivery wagon wheel. While catchIng - Ing on the wagon as it swung around a corner , he was caught between the box of the wagon nnd the wheel nnd whirled completely around one rev olution. His head was caught and lie was severely bruised. His physi cian stated that It can not be known until tonight whether or not the In juries will be serious , but the little follow seems to be resting as well as could be expected today and to be enduring the matter bravely , nnd It is believed that ho will not suffer se rious consequences. FROM THE ANTILLES. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Benefits City Councilman at Kingston , Jamaica. Mr. W. O. O'Reilly Fogarty , who is a member of the city council at Kings ton , Jamaica , West Indies , writes as follows : "One bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy had good effect on a cough that was giving me trou ble and I think I should have been more quickly relieved If I had con tinued the remedy. That It was ben eficial and quick in relieving me there Is no doubt and It is my intention to obtain another bottle. " For sale by Leonard the druggist.

MANY ARE WILLING TO WED To Eliminate the Nearly 10,000 , Proposals - posals Received by the Reservation Girls , for Marriage , a Corporation Has Been Formed. Bonesteol. S. D. . May 17 To elim inate from nearly 10,000 matrimonial proposals the offers that mean busl ness Is the purpose of the Iloneatee Matrimonial club , organized by 120 voung women who drew prizes when the Rosebud Indian reservation was opened for occupancy. Before one can wed any member ol the club , which t'lnbracos all the single glo women who drew prizes In the lam lottery the applicant must servo ni apprenticeship on the farm of the young woman he desires to marry plowing , planting , tilling , and harvest Ing her land for ono season. Applications must bo tiled with the secretary on recommendation of ( tie member most concerned , the suitor agreeing to the terms mentioned. Ap plications lie over one year , during which the applicant has opportunltj to demonstrate his honesty nnd general oral worth as a husband and help meet. Club to be Incorporated. The club , which will be Incorporated under I ho laws of South Dakota ns a "mutual protection nnd benevolent In stitution. " lias the following ofllrcrs : President Miss Ruth Partle. for merly of Frankfort. Ind. Vlre president Miss Kstollo Salle , Lognnsport , Ind. Secretary Miss Ella Thompson , Flora. Ind. Failing during the year of appren ticeship to demonstrate the qualities desired , the applicant may bo black balled on vote of the club , and the members are pledged to abide by the decision. The rejeeted applicant for matrimonial bliss and n Ronesteel farm has no recourse. He forfeits any claim to wages for labor performed and has agreed either to leave Bone- steel or to necept a second choice , the latter alternative meaning n new ap plication and another year of appren ticeship. Successful suitors are given quarter sections of land In their own right out of the pool formed by the club mem bers to constitute marriage dowries , nnd the elub will attend the ceremony in a body and bring appropriate per sonal gifts. Many Willing to Wed. Immediately after the land drawing , when the names of all the winners were published in the newspapers with their home addresses , a mushroom crop of men-willing to wed began cor respondence with women prize win ners. Their mail was laden with love missives. Some were apparently friv olous , others plain business proposi tions In which the writers said they knew unprotected women would have rough furrows to plow and tha t the masculine hand was molded to guide the plow. They would supply the ma.s- cullne hand and throw in a masculine heart If agreeable to both. The lonesome women of Bonosteel compared notes , and out of the con ference grew the plan to determine by a period of service similar to that of the Biblical Jacob the value of those who wished to wed. The terras pro posed , It was agreed , should be such as would discourage any man from making matrimonial advances unless he expected to stick to bis work A year of probation Is Intended not only to give the would-be husband an opportunity to demonstrate his worth as a farmer but to afford time for crit ical Inspection of his moral worth and general habits. If a summer In the fields under the South Dakota skies does not dry up the wellsprings of MH affections , the Bonesteel Matrimonial club reasons that he may bo expect ed to remain faithful the remainder of his lifetime.
