St John's, N. F.—In remote towns
In Canada it is not uncommon for
deer occasionally to run at large. In
Newfoundland, however, was enjoyed
the unique experience of having polar
bears doing this, and quite recently
one was shot within two miles of the
center of St. John's, after being a
disturbing element for several weeks,
as he prowled about in the back coun-
try. Some days ago a second was
killed in a village 40 miles from the
city; very frequently still others are
come upon in various parts of the
country and suffer the same fate,
though not until they have proved
themselves * terror to many timorous
persons.
These occurrences do not mean that
Newfoundland is in the arctic regions
or that it is easy for polar bears to
make their way from those areas to
- this island. They drift down the are-
tic Ice'floes and either land on the

for the convention week and in or-
der to get them trained, put them at
work a week before the convention
opens. In addition, the hotel man-
agers have nearly duplicated their
equipment of linen and tableware;
The rate plan agreed upon is as fol-
lows: One of the first class hotels,
for instance, where the normal
charge for a room and bath varies
from *3 to *7 a day, will charge as
many persons as occupy a 13 room
13 each and those in a $4 room $4
each, but no one will be charged
more than 14 a day even though he
be one of the, occupants of a $6 or
$7 room. The Hotel Managers' As
sociation claims that is a fair ar-
rangement, since otherwise a guest
night expect to hire a $3 room and
put in It as many persons as he saw
it, paying only a nominal service
charge for each additional person
Such a-service charge, the hotel men
say, would not compense them for
the outlay for extra equipment and
help necessitated by the convention
The hotel committee reports that
none of the hotels has raised cafe
rates, and that room rates will run
is low as $1.50 a day. It declares
hat a comparison with prices of
cities that have taken care of pre-
vious convention epowds and with
the rates scheduled in Chicago for
the Republican convention this year
shows that hotel charges here sre as
,low as any and — in many instances
lower.
—A booklet-issued for the-conveni-
once of convention visitors contains
ho following paragraph regarding
this subject of food and lodgings:
“Baltimore is prepared to handle
' large crowd. It will be well to
make reservations in advance. No
one need feel disturbed, however. If
reservations have not been secured
'a advance. A very effective plan has
seen developed whereby persons ar-
living, without having made reserva-
ions, will be able to secure comfort
be quarters at no inconvenience to
heinselves. All that is needed, af-
er reaching the city, is to make ap-
plication at the official beadquarters.
These headquarters are down town
in the first floor of the Equitable
suilding, Calvert and Fayette streets
i complete register Is on file there of
il the various gradations of quarters
and accommodations from the dollar
oom to the more pretentious suites
f notice is sent in advance ae to the
time visitors expect to arrive in Bal
.imore, an effort will be made tc
have some of the reception commit
tee at the particular place of arrival
so as to look after those who may
come. Any and all information about
seats and accommodations1 can be
obtained by writing to Mr. Robert
Cain, General Chairman, Calvert
Building, Baltimore."
Baltimore has been putting hei
houses in order for the past three
months, and today—she is spick and
span and ready for callers. Many
of the streets leading from the con
vention hall to the railroad stations
have been repaved. The street rail
way company has laid special track
and loops to handle the crowds and
ordered 60 new cars st a cost of $300,-
000. - -
When the city first began to pre
pare for the convention, plans were
suggested for the erection of street
arches and for decorating the public
buildings with colored bunting. Lat
er this idea was rejected, because

Found He Had Hit a Polar Bear.
with bears are not sought, unless rifle-
men are included in the party; but
sometimes there Is no alternative.
This season, on one occasion, seven
men armed only with -seal clubs had
to fight an old male bear.
One man thought he saw a seal be-
hind a hummock and started off after
it, a second following him. Just as
the first topped the hummock he
raised his' club and struck, when to
his horror he found he had hit a polar
bear over the snout. The bear turned
on him with an agry, growl and would
have dismembered him with a single
stroke had not the second man got in
and hit him on the snout also. This
blow half stunned him, and he fell
backward into a'small water hole. 1
Still, though dazed, he struggled
to get out, and so there was nothing
for it but to fight him, and this the
men did successfully, the whole seven
joining in the. struggle. Yet he broke
one man's ankle, lacerated another's
thigh and splintered the arm of a
third before he gave in. His skin and
fat weighed 400 pounds, and his car-
cass probably as much more, so that
he was as bulky as a email horse.

OCCUPATIONS WHICH LEAD
IN CANCER STATISTICS.
Statistics’ drawn 1rom ths 1
late census show that the ooeu--
pations most contributory to
cancer sro butcher, taller and
gardener. The dietetic theory -
of the cause of this (disease—,
the material factor in the cause
—can readily explain why the
butcher and the gardener
should be more liable than oth-
ers, corresponding with the ac-
curate English statistics for
1 fifty years, which place travel-,
‘ ing men, coachmen, hotel keop-i-
era and domestic servants first,
except chimney swssps. If ths
taller has ths average bin of
fare his lack of exercise favors
the accumulation of waste
matter in the system—and per-
haps his extra worry about. his
bills magnifiss the mental fac-
tor in his ease. Boot favors
ths retention of waste more
than coal because it, like salt,
is Issa soluble, and being very
fine permeates the tissues. Ths
bruise or irritation provides
ths local ground for ths tumor,
but tho disease is primarily
and fundamentally, in ths
blood, and blood in made from
food influenced by mental con-
dition and kept pure by normal
elimination. Simple diet, right
physical and mental exercise
will keep one immune from
cancer, and all other diseases.
