Refused Pension For Years For years he refused to accept his Civil war pension, but finally took it ‘and then sent each remittance to the convent in Kentucky. The Hawaiian government also repeatedly offered to pension him but he elected to con- tinue his work among the Icpers to the end. When the Atlantic Fleet made its tour of the world in 1908, the United States government used it to signally honor Brother Joseph because of his service to the country and as a hu- maniterian. In July the fket, in command of Admiral Char’es S, Sperry, made a trip from Honolulu harbor and paraded with flying col- ots before the leper colony. The remarkable and sacrificing work of Brother Joseph never has been forgotten by the people of Wis- consin. Madison Post, G. A.

Although he served the colony more than 40 years, the aged humanitarian by scrupulous managed to escape the dread Cisease. In a letter a few years ago to The Rev. Joseph Hanz of Beloit, he wrote: “Am sort of an old relic now, but still on duty, very happy. Am almost ashamed to say am inclined to be Jolly.” ‘Old Man Winter’ Wallops Mercury ‘Below Zero Mark (Continued from page 1) Telegraph Co.

PROBE ALLEGED GAMBLING SETBACKS Minneapolis, March 26—(7)—Burns detectives in Minneapolis Thursday opened an investigation into the story of Gordon Bjorngon that he lost $9,000 in a gambling house at Juarez, Mexico. The $9,000 Bjornson claims he lost gambling was part of the $25,000 ex- torted from ©. A, Leach, Wahpeton Oscar Aamodt, who accompanied Bjorngon in his flight to Mexico, told Burns men he had not heard of Bjornson’s loss and did not know Bjornson had been gambling. It was revealed Bjornson made a secret trip to a Minneapolis suburb when he returned to the city Tuesday night ‘efore he surrendered to po- lice. of the kidnaping and extortion plot, announced in Minneapolis that he will prosecute Bjornson to the full extent of the law. ‘ An extortion charge carries a max- imum penalty of five years imprison- ment while the penalty for kidnaping is 20 years in North Dakota. Bjorn- son said he was willing to plead Bujlty to extortion, according to Min- neapolis police. Bjornson was returned to Wahpe- ton Wednesday night. Aamodt, his companion, was released from: jail Thursday. Burns men said they are convinced Aamodt had been duped into accompanying Bjornson on his trip to Mexico. Evidence that friends of Bjornson had knowledge that the former ath- lete was fleeing to Mexico and were in league with him was uncovered ‘Thursday as investigation of the case continued. Aamodt told Elmer Fleming, man- ager of the northwest office of the William J. Burns sotear au beer that Bjornson spent four days at Paso, ‘fexas, waiting for a letter to arrive. “The letter finally came to him general delivery and he read it, tore it up and said, ‘Well, Oscar, I'm sunk, I guess, ” Aamodt, told Mr. Fleming. Aamodt seemed to believe it was the letter which Bjornson received at El Paso, instead of gambling losses, that had decided him to return and surrend2r, according to Mr. Fleming. “Burns men are attempting to deter- mine who sent Bjornson the letter and what the contents were. —— * Many Profits by | | Buying Tickets I : Omaha, Neb.

Evans, Pittsburgh. Thyroid medicine made from thé hyrold. glands of sheep causes re- duction in weight, but at the same time increases the patient's heat ad duction, or basal metabolism. This exerts an undesirable strain on the patient. Dieting causes less heat produc- tion. As a result the patient feels better, tires less easily, and is satis- fied with his smaller diet, which en- courages him to persist in his effort to reduce, Dr. Evans explained. Dr. Frank A. Hartmi of the University of Buffalo, nounced discovery that cortin, a secretion of the adrenal gland, is “a remedy, but not a cure,” for Addison’s disease. Cortin increases resistance to fa- tigue. Addison’s disease usually is a sequel of tuberculosis, especially tuberculosis of the spine. It weak- ens the heart and may cause death through heart failure. Experiments on animals have shown cortin is necessary for the health of body cells. Lack of it causes loss of weight and sluggish digestion, reduces strength of the muscles, and lowers resistance to cold and poisons in the system. Dr. Hugh W, Josephs, of Johns Hopkins hospital, told of treating anaemic babies with “metallized milk.” He said a combination of iron and copper is more effective than iron alone. When minute quantities of the two metals were given to babies in milk, the hemo- globin, or red blood corpuscles that carry oxygen to the tissues, in- creased 70 per cent. lf Ruptured Try This Free Apply It to Any Rupture, Old or Re- cent, Large or Small and You Are on the Road That Has Con- vinced Thousands Sent Free to Prove This Every ruptured man or woman should write at once to W. 8 Rice, $81-S Main St., Adams, N.
