FEARING A CLASH
(AMoHatnl PrcM T.pnto Wire)
WASHINGTON, Mar. 28. Fears
that a clash between farmers in
northern Minnesota and the Cana-
dianTiuthorltios might develop if a
proposed flood control dam is con
structed on the Rosseau river in
Manitoba were expressed today by
Representative Selvlg, republican,
Minnesota, who has asked the geo
logical survey to obtain an Interna
tional adjudication of the contro
versy.
Selvig pointed out that the Bet-
tiers on both sides of the boundary
"nre in a righting mood. He urged
that some form of cooperation be
tween the two countries be devised
to have the river carry off the
floods with tho least possible
damage.
The proposed dam would cost
$150,000, of which the dominion
would contribute $100,000, but Sel
vlg said that Rosseau county al
ready had spent $400,000 to control
the stream. He advocated that
spillways or drainage canals should
be constructed in both countries
to carry of fthe overflow water.

FRAUD CHARGED
IN WEMME ESTATE
'. (AnockUd Tnm Uual Wire)
PORTLAND, Ore., Mar. J8. In, .
suit filed in the circuit court here
today Judge E. W. Wlckley, for
mer attorney for the alien pro
perty custodian, is charged with
having fradulently" and wrong
fully" converted 46 shares of the
capital Btock of the E. Henry
Wemme company estate to his
own use, and Dow V. Walker, foi
mer county commissioner and lo
cal representative of the custodian
and August Wemme, an heir of the
estate, are charged with "having
aided and abetted Wickey In his
fraudulent scheme."
The suit was brought by How
ard Sutherland, alien property
custodian, through his attorney.
John R. Latourette. It asks for a
judgment of $75,645.80 against
the three defendants.
The alien property custodian re
cently made an Investigation nt
the request of Blx of the eight
Christian Science churches of tho
city and designated Latourette to
bring a suit for. an accounting.
Proceeding on the theory that
Judge Wickey alone was involved,
Latourette first ' instituted suit
against Wickey alone In the fed
eral court here last January. On
his own volition he later withdrew
the suit, having discovered that
the court was without jurisdiction
over the matter because Wickey
is a resident of Indiana.
With the view of suing Judge
Wickey In the Indiana federal
court, Latourette went to Washing
ton last February for a conference
with the alien property custodian
and while there said he discover
ed evidence that Walker anil
Wemme, Portland residents, were
asserted confederates of Wickey.
It was then decided that Latour
ette should bring a suit against
all three- in the state courts here,
and if Wickey refused to submit
to their jurisdiction he should be
sued alone In the District of Col
umbia.

HEALTH BULLETIN
The Old "Sprlnq Tonic" That
Stood on the Shelf
(Stat Board of Health)
Cozlly huddled among a variety
of things more or . less pleasant
which make up the general mitt
cellauy of remembrance Is tho
good old spring tonic, sulphur and
molnsses. As It had a disagree
able taste, naturally it was a
remedy for the young. Older peo
ple may have taken it, too; pre
sumably they did. I never saw
them.
. After having driven from tho
feystem of the growing child an
unknown quanlty of accumulated
unknown poisons which had thin
ned, or thickened, his blood (I for
get which), the spring tonic also
speedily supplied tho vim, vigor,
and vitality he had lost during the
long cold wlnlor.
The virtue was In the sulphur;
the molasses was added only to
disengage Willie's mind from tho
principal ingredient. But It al
ways look' argument, ana some
times actual force to administer
pleas; maxims, and. ndmonltlona
became but empty sounds; Willie's
suspicion had been transformed in
to knowledge.
As the course of treatment ex
tended over a couple of weeks or
so, the early spring days were
lengthening, the sun was gaining
in power, windows were occasion
ally opened; then came the tear
up of house cleaning -and every
thing was thoroughly aired.
Willie played long hours out
doors; he "perked up," and the
spring tonic had once more ac
complished Its miracle.
Late In the fnll Pa had carefully
chinked nil the little cracks about
the windows and doors; drafts
were a serious menace to health.
No window was open at night;
night air was a positive danger,
and, beside, why furrjlfh fuel to
heat nil out-doors! There was
plenty of ventilation If the bed
room door was sllghtly ajar.
These were tho ideas of a ma
jority of small town and county
house-holders not so many yenrs
ago, and it Is basely rumored that
there are still such homes in Ore
eon. It would seem that In those days
those living closest to nnture
knew, or cared least, about. Its
laws. It may havb been that in
the struggle for livelihood tho
perspiration, or something, of the
effort blinded their eyes to the ob
vious. However, no one now
doubts that Willie's spring tonlng
np should have been credited fo
sunphlne and pure air, or that the
sulnhur and molasses was an un
necessary and disagreeable Imposi
tion. We know that, a night a I r or
cold nlr Is not dangerous, and that,
given freely of pure nlr, and all the
sunshine procurable throughout
the winter months, no child, or, for
that matter, no adult needs a
spring tonic.
