MINNESOTA “U” MAN TELLS HEALTH SEGRET Cancer, Tuberculosis and Pneumonia Germs Killed By New Chemical Declares Professor Care] ALSO SAID TO BANISH TYPHOID Discovery Tested By Most Eminent Scientists in State and Pronounced Boon to Mankind. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 16—To pro- duce, if possible, a chemical antag- onistic to cancer, the disease that caused the death of his mother, was one of the great impelling forces driving Professor Hubert C. Carel to make the exhaustive and extended investigation which recently resulted in the discovery of a solution that will destroy the germs, not only of cancer. but of tuberculosis, typhoid and pneumonia as well. For six years Professor Carel toil- ed night a1d day in the laboratories of the University of Minnesota near St. Paul, where he was professor of chemistrv. More than once he was on the verge of giving up the struggle against the baffling germs, millions of which he used in bis tests. Then, when he was tired and weary and almost discouraged there would come to his mind thoughts of the suffering and misery to which cancer had suj: jected his mother and he would re- turn to his retorts and cultures, more determined thau ever to congquer in the desperate battle. Seeking as he did, a chemical td* combat the germs of cancer alone, Professor Carel was amazed, when at last success crowned his efforts, to find that he had discovered a product four times as strong as carbolic acid, and still not a poison, that meant death to the germs of tuberculosis;, typhoid fever and pneumonia, diseases that cause far more deaths than cancer. Wishing to make sure that there was np mistake, Professor Carel, having satisfied himself after hun- dreds of tests of the correctness of his analysis, called into consultation several eminent bacteriologists who verified his claims and collaborated with him in the production of the -chemical which bas been named Benotal and which promises to re- volutionize the treatment of germ diseases. Professor Carel said: “Had I known in the beginning the extensive nature of the work in- ~volved, it is doubtful if I would have taken over the attempt. For three the test was, that no germ could withstand the action of the chemical but were vanquished in a manner which showed benetol to be four times as strong as carbolic acid. I think I was made the most happy, after a test against the deadly bi- chloride of mercary, for I bhad a chemical fifty times as strong in usable strength, that is to say, bene- tol full strength, could be used, and benetol full strength is fifty times as strong as the solution that can be safely handled of the mercuric chloride. “But this was only a fraction of the success achieved, I had secured a chemical working in a new way against bacteria. I waited with anxiety, for the reports of others, regarding its texiety, or poisonous effect upon vertebrates. When that report came, I knew my labors were at end on the chemical itself, because as one examiner put 1t, ‘your beue- tol, has about the same degree of poisonous effect upon the human system as common table salt.’ That meant, not only that the world no longer need be burdened with germicides and disinfectants that were deadly posison,but a far greater truth, that germs could be followed in the buman system, and fought there where they bhad been safely hidden since the world began. “It may be difficult for the or- dinary person to know what that means. America is a typhoid-cursed country. Used diligently, there need be very little typhoid where benetol is known. Ten drops of it allowed to remain a short time in a gallon of infected water, will make the wats nnt only safe to drink, but will ‘nfake it beneficial as a medicated water., One drop in a glass will quickly kill all typhoid life therein. True, the one drop can be tasted diightly in the water, but itis still as good for quenching thirst as the most sparkling spring water. Fami- lies using water So treated will not only not take typhoid frony the wat- er, but the water itself will provea preventive by antagonizing such germs as have lodged in the mouth or any part of the throat, stomach or intestines. “Cholera and all germ diseases, can de combated with benetol, by large internal doses. For some time there have been extensive tests made by physicians, and benetol has been given to drink, in doses as large as a teaspoonful in a half glass of water three times a day. Against such a solution there is no known germ that would not instantly be vanquished upon contract. It has been dis- covered also that the penetrating power of benetol is tremendous and I bave had fine reforts from physi- cians using it in poeumonia, by simply rubbing large quantities on the chest. The stubborn tubercular germ is easily killed; on tubercular years I wurked. during which no less than 26 attempts were carried through bacteriological tests, and each time, while something was gained, failure was the main result. Working by myself nearly the whole time has elapsed before I had made progress enough to be sure of the right road. “Then I went to work with renew- ed energy in the laboratory of the University of Minnesota, where I had the chair of medical chemistry toxicology, assisted by Prof. Frost of the University of Wisconsin, Dr. W. L. Beebe, State, Bacteriologist abscesses it shows its power without question. It not only kills the germs, but disinfects and starts healing at once. “Because of the way it kills tuber- cular. germs, I have received bun- dreds of letters asking if it will cure tuberculosis of the lungs. I can only say, it will kill tubercular germs wherever it can reach them. Itcan be breathed into the lungs, from a nebulizer, when mixed with oil that will nebulize. If such inhalation will reach all the small lung pockets, it will kill the germs. I have some reports showing benefits, in cases to the Minnesota State Sanitary Board, and Drs. Corbett and Wood- worth of the Minneapolis Bacteriolo- gical laboratory, who tested out my latest attempt. I finally received re- ports which satisfied me that I had solved the problem. “Benetol, which I named the new chemical, was found by the most careful tests, to kill the germs of typhoid fever ina 1-10,000 solu- tion. More stubborn germs yielded good reports, and the summary of where it has been tried. Farther than that I cannot say at this time. “Certain it is, that benetol is worth a trial, for it will surely kill such germs as are in the upper lung pas- sages or in the throat, stomach and intestinal tracts, for they. can be readily reached. “I should have help in my ex- periments in the use of benetol. Very much has been done by the few splendid men who have been as- sisting me in the work, but there BEMIDJ MEN KILL DEER Conditions for Huntioag Now Ideal and Big Bags are Made. The conditions at bresent could not be better for hunting big game. There have been two falls of snow, each placing a soft carpet on the AGENTS DUMP LIQUOR IN TWO PLAGES HERE Dudley & Mahan and Louis Anderson Put out of Business By Order From W. E.

Dell Burgess, the Bemidji cigat manufacturer, secured two fie deer near Kelliher. Mr. K-l.ey, boat builder, got two fiae bucks, in the Battle River country west of Kelli- her. Mr. Rice killed a big buck, also in the neighberbood of Kelli- her. A number of others were lucky, as was indicated by the fact that thirteen deer were received at the office of the Northern Express com- pany in this city yesterday morning and distributed to the homes of the successful hunters. Hunters who bave going through the woods report that the large band of caribou which have made their home between the north shore of upper Red lake and the Rapwd river and ranging eastward into Koochiching couniy are still in that vicinity; that, although the heavy fires northward drove the moose, deer and what few caribou that were along the Rainy river in Canada, yet there are many moose that rang- ed southeastward and are again in their old “‘§tamping grounds” around the Tamarac and Lost rivers and east of those waters. ) S. C. Bailey, local warden for the State Game and Fish commission, reports that hunters are more care- ful than formerly in the matter of taggiog and shipping their game and are looking more closely after the technical points in the matter of shipping and all shipments of deer bave been strictly in compliance with the provisions contained in the licenses.

After they are chloroformed to death, the lungs can be taken out, and a chemical test made to ascer- tain how much of the benetol has become absorbed. The amount would tell whether benetol would stop pulmonary tuberculosis. I know it will if we can get it to the lungs, for aside from its germicidal strength, its healing power is marvel- ous.” Troublesome Cn-rload of Beer Returned —Bagley Men Indignant Over Destruction of Property. In an exepedition last evening against two Bemidji saloons, which ha? ignored the government’s order to close, agents of the Indian bureau faced a shot gun in the hands of one of the liquor men who, a moment before had hit Agent Matulys on the head, konocking him from a high platform where he broken beer bottle, gash on the leg. Special Agent Matulys led the raid and the first place entered was Dudlei & Mahan’s located in the heart of the business. equipped with alarge stock and doing a thriving business of the middle class. T. E. Brents, who has charge of the'Indian bureau’s sub-agegcy in Bemidji,assisted Agent Matulys. He approached Mr. Dudley and told himn that three warnings from the government ‘had been ignored, also reminding him that he had re-opened his saloon but recently after having once been closed by the government, and that, upon telegraphic orders from W. E. {Johnson, head of the Indian Bureau, he should be compe]led to destroy his liquor stock. The work of destruction began at once, barrels were broken open, casks dumped and bottled goods smashed. The list of stuff de- stroyed in this place was 214 bar- rels of whiskey, 2 barrels of alco- hol,. 11 cases of bottled goods, 3 cases of bitters, 10-gallon keg of whiskey, ¢ cases of fancy whiskey, 4 cases of champagne, 4 barrels of wine, From the Dudley & Mahan place, the agents rarched on the Lakeshore saloon of Louis Ander- son on Second Street. Mr, Ander- son had no resistence to offer and after taking a drink.of his own whiskey, turned the place over to the government-- agents, who quickly destroyed five barrels of whiskey, 10 cases of bottled whiskey, 2 cases of Rock and Rye, 10 gallons of wine and ro gallons of gin. Louis landed on a inflicting a Anderson . wishes the | Pioneer to say that the agentes also dumped a barrel of cider, and he intimates that inasmuch as fcider is not a liquor, that someone will have to pay for it. No beer. was destroved as the agents have - been instructed to see ‘that this thrist quenching commodity is returned to tbe brewery. Another interesting developmernt of the day was the closing of the Markbam Hotel bar. The closing of this place is due simply to the fact that the license expired today and has not been re- newed. Agents Brents in charge of a squad made up of Agents Way, Quinn, Nemo, Kalberg and Patten, have gone to Park Rapids, presumably on another “smash-up” expedition. At Kelliher, where Mayor Magill, who is agent for the Hamm Brewing company, was warned that he must notaccept a carload of beer consigned from that brewery, has ordered the beer reloaded and it is thought this long as their present supplies bold out. The saloonkeepers at Bagley whose supplies were destroyed yes- terday, are highly indignant and probably will seek redress;in the courts inasmuch asthey were licensed to do business as late as November 1, at which time they were given both a village and government li- cense. It is reported that Dudley bas sworn outa warrant for the arrest of N. A, Way as a result of that agent’s activity in the raid last night. PLAGES FOREST FIRE BLAME Aundrews Says Speculators and Lack of Roads Caused Trouble, Non-resident speculators and the railroads are principally to blame for the forest fires, according to Gen- eral Andrews, state forestry commis- sioner, who has just returned to St. Paul from a visit to the scene of the Rainy river forest fire. General Andraws yesterday said regarding his findings: “The Rainy river forest fires of Oct. 7 spread over portions of an area of 200,000 acres of moderately undulating and mostly fertileziland. If there had begn good roads through that country probably the fire would not have occured, and mif the state will now build roads there, and thus promote the cultivation of the lapd, a blessing may result from the cal- mity. . “Any one can see that it is for the interests of the raitroads to have the land they traverse occupied by an abundance of industrious settlers, ‘but the pumerous forest fires set by sparks from railraad locomotives, including those of logging roads, re- tard the settlement of the forest regions. I ascertained 15 years ago that there is no such thinglasa perfect spark arrester.. On an up grade with a heavy train the best locomotive will emit sparks, hence the need of patrols. Bythe New York law, if railroads fail to employ efficient patrols, the state does itand charges the expense to the railroads. We may have to copy that provision in this state.” GASS LAKE NOW SATISFIED Figures Fight Has Been Won—Beer Supply Nearly Exhausted. Cass Lake, Nov. 16—The recent order of the Indian department pro- hibiting the shipping of liquor into the territory covered by the treaty of 1855 has not caused any great alarm to thé Cass Lake people who fought the order which meant the extermination of liquor here while those in the nearby towns could have all they desired. The Cass Lakers feel that they have won their fight and now that the department intends to keep the liquor out of the whole country aad nota few spots selected by the Special agents they will make no|: complaint. The supply of liquor which the dealers now have on hand will last for some time. The beer supply is small and will last but a few weeks. The whiskies and other drinks are expected to last a couple of months while one saloon keeper will have enough to last until spring. Cass Lake dosen’t care much whether the order recently given out is enforced or withdrawn, They are satisfied that they had enough fighting blood to 2et a square deal and will now take anything their will save the seven saloons there so|neighbors are forced to take. [ TR ki (S (s e IOLLMAN ANNOUNCES ATTITUDE OF BREWERS In Statement Given Out in St. Paul Today, He Says No Fight Will Be Made. 4 PARK RAPIDS SALOONS CLOSE Smashing Expedition Led by Brents and Newly Opened Places are Put Out of Business. St. Pal.!l_, Miunn,, Nov. 16—(Daily Pioneer Special Wire Service)—The brewers and retail liquor men will not fightvthe recent order of the govern- ment forbidding the shipment of liquor in “Indian” territory accord- ing to announcement made here toi; day. B Fred W. Zollman, attorney for the Minnesota Liquor dealers’ associa- tion and representing sthe retail liquor dealers, today made public the following statement: “The brewers and the retail liquor dealers,although believing the recent order of the. government was arbitrary and unjust§and that it ex- tends beyond the _ purpose originally intended to be reached by the treaty, have notwithstanding this injusticg, agreed among them- selves not tb deliver any of their pro- ducts into the affected] territory, far either for retail sale or for ;private use. “This copclusion was the result of 3 meeting of the brewers and liquor men held in the city yester- dav.” . Despite the action of! the liquor men who met in St. Paul, others still express the hope that the government can be persuaded to at least modify its latest order. It is cited here that the powerful influence of the steel trust may be brought into action against the ar- bitary action of the ®Indian bureau and that some concessions may be obtained. Four Places Closed in Park Rapids. Park Rapids. Minn., Nov. 16— Four saloons, all of which opened for business on November 5. were today put out of business by a squad of Indian agents who destroyed all liquor found, with the exception of beer. . . 2 The raid was led by T. E. Brents who brought his men her this morn- ing from Bemidji. More than 700 gallons of liquor were dumped. BAUDETTE INSURANGE HEAVY Adjusters Announce Total Loss There Amounts to $700,000. The Western Adjustment Com- pany has issued a statement of the insurance at Baudette, amounting to $700,000. The handling of the losses was un- usually difficult and expensive, the fire having destroyed records and memoranda. As the town was completely wiped out the adjusters were compelled to charter a private car in which to make their headquarters during the work. The report states that Baudette and Spooner would not have been de- stroyed if there had been no forest within a mile of either town. Mrs. Charles Rawdon of Wilten, came down on the Soo to spend the day at the home of Mrs. L. Kane. =
