unless It is unloaded within forty-
-
hours the ' has to
eight \ purchaser pay
$1 a day demurrage. Frequently the
cars stacie up eli the denIer and In many
cases shippers have been unable to
unload the cars within the prescribed
lime , and have had to pay the demur-
rage charges when It Is all the fault
of the railroads. Should Il measure he

solution prevailed. Following this adjournment -

A GREAT INSTITUTION. > r
It is unusual that 0. single institution In a ' 'I '
city of 8,000 people will overshadow in importance -
portance every other interest , but such ill ' } ' I. .
the case with the American School ot
Osteopathy and A. 1. ' . Still Infirmary . a\ J

A stranger in Klrksv1l1G Is immediately .
Imliresscd with the Idea that the town is
sustained by this institution , in tact ,
Kirksville has been made what It Is to-day
by Dr Still and his famous School and
Infirmary. It is the largest patroll1zed uu-
cud owed institutions or its kind in the F ! - : ;
United States. r
Dr. Still's school enrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student . Is required to at-
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the couriooC : st\1I1y There are
over 200U graduates and they are > rac-
tieing In every state and territory 0 l the
Union. About two.thirds of the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
in medIcal cJlIoges except IIdrugs" and
osteopathy Ii substituted for that. So
thorough is time teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis-
sected yearly by the studonts.
At the Infirmary , patients from every ,
part 01' the country and with almost every'
forum of disease areconstantly under treat- 1
munt. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to KirksvUle has
brought some new sufferer hoping to find re-
lie by the science of OsteopathY By the
thousands who have left the institution
benefited by the treatment the science has _ '
been heralded to thc world as a safe . and ' . . . . :
rational method of cure. Several years ago
u. free clinic was established in connection
with the practice department of the school
and . this is still In operation. Hundreds of
the worthy poor , who are unable to pay for
treatment , are treated every ' afternoon by
the senior students free of charge.

To the housewife who has not yet , .
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use In the market and ,
who Is reasonably satisfied with the \
old we would suggest that a trial ot ' "
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once Not alone because It Is guar-
anteed by the manufacturers to be su-
perior to any other brand , but because
each lOc package contains 16 ozs. ,
while all the other kinds contain but
12 ozs. It Is safe to say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.
