A GREAT INSTITUTION
It is unusual that a single institution in a
city of 8000 people will ovorshadow In im
portance every other interest but such is
tho case witn the American School of
Osteopathy and A T Stll Infirmary at
Kirksville Mo
A stranor in Kirksville is immediately
impressed with the idea that the towa is
sustained by this institution in fact
Kirksville has been made what it is to day
by Dr Still and his famous School ana
Infirmary It is the largest patronised un
endowed institution of its Kind in the
United States
Dr Stills school onrolls over 700students
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the courseof study There ara
over 2pQJ radudtes and they are prac
ticing m every stale and territory of the
Union About two thirds of the states
have Kissod special laws legalizing the
science
This school teaches every branch taught
In medical colleges except drugs and
osteopathy U substituted for that So
thorough is tho teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
sectod yearly by the students
At the Infirmary patients from every
part of the country and with almost every
form of disease are constantly under treat
ment For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to Kirksville has
brough fc some new sufferer hoping to find re
lief by the science of Osteopathy By tho
thouaauds who have left tho institution
benyntixl by tho treatment the science has
been heralded to the world as a safe and
mSimml method of cure Several years ago
a f roo clinic was established in connection
with Mio practice department of the school
and this is still in operation Hundreds of
tho worthy poor who are unable to pay for
treitment are treated every afternoon by
tuo souur students free of charge
At first thought nothing seems a
more impossible task for a woman
than to be employed as a spy yet
there are said to be many in Europe
the majority being in the employ of
the great white czar
Dont you know that Defiance Starch
besides being absolutely superior to
any other It put up 1C ounces in pack
ages and sells at same price as 12
ounce packages of other kinds

Short Circular Capes in Style
Short circular capes are all the
fashion right now Those most in
vogue for late August days and early
autumn weather are of coarse lace
any lace like Cluny Bruge or point
Venise is in favor The capes vary In
length Sometimes they fall just to
the shoulders other reach to the bust
line and still others touch the waist
In ecru or dyed to match the color
of the gown they will be the most
fashionable during the early fall The
smart girl is sure to contrive many
novel ways of adding to the charm of
her cape She may fasten it down the
front with big artistic looking but
tons or it may have the effect of be
ing tied together with many smart
looking little black satin bows If
she wishes to more decidedly change
its effect she will slip satin messaline
or velvet ribons through the meshes
of the lace at either side of the front
At tho neck the ribbons are tied in
rosettes and then again a bit further

Buying Fertilizers
Our state legislatures are doing
what they can to protect the people
against low grade fertilizers Some
of the states require the experiment
stations to publish special bulletins
on fertilizers and send them to all the
farmers that want them This is to
spread the information among the
farmers as rapidly as possible li
our farmers would avail themselves
of these opportunities more than
they do they would be the gainers
The fertilizer trade is already a very
large one in the East and is growing
rapidly in the West All the informa
tion that can be gained should be laid
aold of Our best fertilizer firms are
selling only good materials and are
as anxious as the farmers can be tc
keep the poor goods out of the mar
ket Any attempt to enforce the fer
tilizer laws always has the support
jf these companies for their worst
enemies are the small companies that
are selling inferior goods at a low
price The farmer thinks he is get
ting a bargain in buying these cheap
goods and so goes to the men that sell
him the poorest stuff and make the
most out of him If the men that are
selling the cheap fertilizers sold It as
low as do the men that sell only high
grade fertilizers the men that sell the
poor stuff would have to go out ol
business They sell the poor stuff
and make money by really getting for
the fertilizers contained a greater
price than the others do The farmer
is finding this out only slowly
Some of the large firms stoop tc
create bogus companies that sell this
material The writer happened in the
territory of one such firm doing busi
ness in the southern part of Illinois
The large firm in question had an
agency in the place and this agency
sent out two sets of agents one set
representing the agency and the oth
er representing a fictitious company
supposed to be located in the same
place The cheap material was work
ed off under the name of the bogus
company and generally on farmers tc
whom could not be sold the high
priced goods but who wanted some
thing cheap It was found best tc
sell mostly to farmers too far away tc
come to the place and look up the
headquarters But one day a farmei
who had been buying the cheap goods
came into the agency referred to anc
said he was very much dissatisfied
with the fertilizers of the company
he had been buying of and he wantec
to be directed to their store The
agent informed him that the companj
he was looking for had formerly beer
located in that neighborhood but hac
been burned out and had gone out o
business but that he would be glac
to supply the farmer with goods thai
could not be found fault with
The farmer that is always looking
at the price and not at the quality
at the same time is always getting
beaten in his trades It is impossible
that it should be otherwise as long
as there are unscrupulous men thai
are making a living in commercial
ventures
Professor Hopkins has been telling
the farmers that they must ignore ev
erything in fertilizers except the ele
ments that they are looking for and
he is right It is not a question oi
how many tons of fertilizing material
a farmer buys but of how many
pounds of potassium phosphorus antl
nitrogen he is getting and at what
cost per pound
Records of Farm Drains
Another feature of engineering
work for farm drainage in which there
should be great improvement is that
of maps and records At Ames on
the college farm the present author
ities have had predecessors who put
in quite extensive amounts of tile
drains without leaving accurate plats
so that in many places we cannot now
find even where the drains were
built to say nothing of their sizes
grades and depths In making exca
vatious old lines of tile whose very
existence was not suspected are not
infrequently encountered and the
writer knows of places where at least
two systems of tiles in the -same lo
cality have been put in by successive
generations of authorities The same
or a worse state of affairs must result
on individual farms throughout the
state as time goes by and the farms
change owners unless the present al
most total neglect of keeping com
plete records of all tile drains built
is remedied Even if the land does
not change owners mens memories
fail and the writer has often noted
that even after a very few years men
who actually help build drains are fre
quently unable to locate them with
in a considerable distance Without
complete maps showing the particu
lars of our drains how can we hope to
keep them in working order The
breaking and choking up of a single
tile might render many acres of land
worthless in a wet season and cause
enough damage in a single year to
have paid ten times over for records
which would have enabled the dif
ficulty to be located and remedied at
less than one dollars expense Iowa
Station
At the Ontario agricultural college
potatoes were planted in rows 20
inches apart with the sets one foot
apart in the row and others were
planted 33 inches apart each way ex
actly the same amount of seed being
used in both cases The close plant
ing gave a yield of 314 bushels more
than the other method

CAN DRINK TROUBLE
Thats one way to get it
Although they wont admit it many
people who suffer from sick headaches
and other ails get them straight from
the coffee they drink and it is easily
proved if theye not afraid to leave it
to a test as in the case of a lady in
Connellsville
I had been a sufferer from sick
headaches for twenty five years and
anyone who has ever had a bad sick
headache knows what I suffered
Sometimes three days in the week I
would have to remain in bed at other
times I couldnt lie down the pain
would be so great My life was a tor
ture and if I went away from home for
a day I always came back more dead
than aBve
One day I was telling a woman my
troubles and she told me she knew
that it was probably coffee caused It
She said she had been cured by stop
ping coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee and urged me to try this food
drink
Thats how I came to send out and
get some Postum and from that time
Ive never been without it for it suits
my taste and has entirely cured all
of my old troubles All I did was to
leave off the coffee and tea and drink
well made Postum in its place This
change has done me more good than
everything else put together
Our house was like a drug store
for my husband bought everything he
heard of to help me without doing any
good but when I began on the Pos
tum my headaches ceased and the
other troubles quickly disappeared 1
have a friend who had an experience
just like mine and Postum cured hei
just as it did me
Postum not only cured the head
aches but my general health has been
improved and I am much strongei
than before I now enjoy delicious
Postum more than I ever did coffee
