0 EflHEnEBEBBSBBDESSI THE OMAHA SUNDAY UEE: OCTOBER 6, 1007. A Real Farm Paper Is resd by farmers and stockmen. It It i'cUii publication !t carries lire stock adyertlstnf. And the rolume of this advsrtlslnf indicates its circula tion and standing among farmers. This test is unfailing. The average farmer Is conservative. He is not a speculator and he la not easily stam peded. When he spends his money to advertise his pure-bred cattle, horses, sheep, or swine, he demands results. He selects a farm paper that Is read by farmers. There are many fake farm papers. They may fool advertisers, but they do not fool the farmers. They have plenty of fake advertising, but no live stock advertising placed by real farmers. By This Test THE TWENTIETH CENTURY FARMER makes good. Nearly two hundred farmers and stockmen are advertising In each issue. Their busi ness shows an Increase of more than 0 over last year. In the months of October, Novem ber, December, January February and March the live stock" advertising In this paper ran up to nearly 500 Inches In each Issue. It filled nearly eight pages of space. Moat of this farmers advertising stays In the paper the year 'round. This means something. It means a great circulation among the best class of farmers and stockmen In the west. It means that THE TWEN TIETH CENTURY FARMER la a real farm paper, read by real farmers. Letters From Our Advertisers Von cover a verr desirable section most thoroughly, and our clifnts are universally satisfied with results; in fact, we do not know of a single in stance last year when your paper did not "make good" for us. It is a pleas ure to send yoar advertising, because you make It a profitable Investment for our clients. White's Class Advert Mng Co, . Chicago, 111., Jan. 23, 1907.

There Is no free list except to adver tisers. .Thirty subscription solicitors are now at work In Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. They work at all the big fairs and live stock shows In the central west, during the fall. At other seasons they work through the country, In small towns and at stock yard points. Each new name added to the list means a dollar paid for one year, or 60 cents for six months. We do not get subscribers through guess ing contests, or fake schemes. The list Is growing at such a rate that we can safely guarantee from 70,000 to ,76.000 by January 1st, 1908, but there will be no advance In rates. Write for sample copy and advertising rates. MEM TOOT It is today the greatest selling agent in the Trans-Mississippi country for the manufacturers of farm machinery, for real estate, for mail order goods of any description, for anything, in fact, sold to farmers and stockmen, or to the women folks in the country home. There never was a time in the history of the west when our farmers were so prosperous. They all have money in the bank and they are enjoying not only the comforts but the luxuries of life. They buy pianos, automobiles and diamonds, to say nothing of the thousand-and-one necessities of life. And they are peculiarly susceptible to advertising for many of them live remote from cities and towns. They buy largely by mail and only a few people in the cities realize what a large volume of business is handled for farmers through the post offices and the express companies. Especial attention is called to the demand for cheap land jln the west, southwest and in Canada. Thousands of farmers are selling high priced land in the Mississippi and Missouri valleys and are buying cheaper land farther west. REAL STATE DEALERS Should not overlook this opportunity to send word to the 65,000 farmers who read The Twentieth Century Farmer. Why not tell them what you have to sell? Why not send in an order for a combination ad. for The Farmer and The Daily Bee? One will reach the people on the farms of the west; the other covers the cities and towns of Nebraska and western Iowa like a blanket. The rates are low. Write for full information. We will co-operate with you in every practical way to secure results. , x ' . . The Twentieth- Century ' -Farmer OMAHA. NEBRASKA. Your paper is certainly O. K.

Here Is what the Monitor Drill Com pany of Minneapolis, Minn., wrote us last winter: "We have -received nineteen replies to our first advertisement of January Sd, at a cost of 29 cents each, which Is not bad." Here is what the Lining r Imple ment company of Omaha, one of the largest wholesale implement dealers in the west, said In a recent letter: "After a thorough experience In ad vertising to reach the trade In the vi cinity of Omaha, we have come to the conclusion that the best returns come from The Twentieth Century Farmer. We have decided to drop our outside advertising and make a year's contract with you for space. We have had big sales In the vicinity of Omaha, but also have inquiries from Maine to Texas and recently sold quite a bill of goods, through a Twentieth Century ad. to a party in Kentucky." 1 TRADE CONDITIONS IN OMAHA Business for Week Larger Than Any Week for Years.' , HUXD&EBS OF RETAILERS COKE Carpets and Hon Are Mated (or Ad vance Demand ' (or .

This was largely due to the Ak-Bar-Hen festivities, to attend which many merchants came In from the country, taking advantage of the oppor tunity to give their families a pleasure trip and buy goods at the same time. Sep tember made an exceptional showing. Corn is said to be now entirely out of the reach of frost, in fact, a frost would dry It out arid make It ready for shucking. The first carload of the new crop la said to be on Its way to the Omaha market from Pot tawattamie county, la. It Is from a Held of unusually early grain., leather Is featureless. .

The market on crude rubber is strong, but Just at present It Is hard to predict whether the next lew weelui will see prices higher or lower.

"Give an Inexperienced person a large railroad folder and you put moie trouble In his hands than the 'pigs In the clover' puxzle," said a prominent railroad official the other day. "You will And that the average person hat not the slightest Idea how to de cipher the arrival and departure of trains, Imagine, then, the Immense amount of work involved In arranging the schedules of the trains of a vast railroad system so they will dovetail smoothly and be got in working order at an appointed hour. Just for example: Each twenty-four hours hundreds of trains arrive at and depart from the Grand Central station, New York City. The schedules have to be arranged to make conflict Impossible. "The adjustment of the time tables de volves ultimately upon the chief operating official of the road. He notifies the offi cial of each division that a new train is to reach a certain point at a certain hour, and will depart after a change of engines five minutes later, being due to arrive at the other end of the division at a certain hour. "The trainmaster of the division must then prepare a tentative schedule of trains for his division, and this tentative sched ule must be sent to the chief train dis patcher before the new train la put on. "Each additional train must Involve a certain derangement- of the schedule al ready In force. If the new train Is a 'flyer' the derangement amounts almost to disorder. The local and accommoda tion trains are most affected by these changes. They must- get out of the way of the limited trains In plenty of time, and passengers on the local trains are very likely to chafe under the delays that are Inevitable. It la next to itniosslble to con vince people that these delays really are necessary and for their benefit. "When all of the tentative schedules providing for a new train are In hand the chief train dispatcher Is In a position to prepare a final schedule. He must regard, especially In limited trains, the hours at which trains are expected to leave and arrive at Important points. He cannot run a train along the line of least resist ance, for at the hours when there are fewest obstacles In the way of a 'flyer there might be the greatest likelihood uf no passenge.s being in waltlr.j at the most Important station. "When all the data are In hand the schedule Is prepared and notifications are sent out to all of the division superin tendents. But the experimentation doos not end here. There Is a great deal to be done by way of adjusting experience to operation so the strain on the rolling stock may be least. "In preparing a schedule for a long distance run It is essential to establish an average hourly mileage for the entire distance. It is not possible to test thrf running time between two neighboring points and by ' adding these together to arrive at the maximum speed possible to attain between two distant points. The theory of these averages is that the train shall leave sufficient leeway to make up time when necessary. It has been found, however, that engineers will loaf along over parts of their trip in order to make faster time than their schedules call for over other portions of the route. , "It can, therefore, be seen that all must be ready as far as It can be figured out by man, and the benefit of experience adds greatly to the making of a schedule In the rough that will work out to a nicety when the train is actually under way." New York Times. CHINA'S ARMY OF OPIUM FIENDS Over Oae Hasdrei and Fifty Millions of Inhabitants Are Victims of the Draa. "The cultivation of ths poppy." so runs the translation, "Is the greatest Iniquity In agriculture, and the provinces rt Szechuen. Shenst, Kansu, Yunnan, Kwel chow, Shansl and Kanghuat abound in this product, which, In fact, is found everywhere. Now that it is decided to ahandon on him smoklna- within ten years , the limiting of this cultivation should I taken as a fundamental step . opium has been' In use so long by the people that nearly three-tenths to four tenths of them are smokers." "Three-tenths ' to four-tenths" the es tlmata seemed rather wild. From 100. 000,000 to 160,000,000 opium smokers In China means three or four times the population of Great Britain, a good mny more than the population of the United States! After all, I thought, statistics are meaningless to the oriental mind; but my eye fell on certain quoUtlons, already familiar. In my notebook. I read this from Mr. Holse, the commercial attaohe to the British legation at Peking, an ex perienced traveler and observer. He Is reporting on conditions In Sxechuen prov ince: "I am well within the mark when I say that In the cities to per cent of the males and 10 per cent of ' the females smoke opium, and that In the country the percentage Is not less than 26 for men and 5 for women." There are about 45. 000,000 people In Sxechuen province, ant they not only raise and consume an 'ap palling quantity of opium, they also send about 10,000 tons down the Yangtse river every year for use In other provinces. I was later to hear from other observer that about all of the richest soil In Siechuen Is given over to poppy cultiva tion, and that the laboring classes show a noticeable decline of late in phystqus and capacity for work. I heard little about the beautiful dreams and visions which opium Is supposed to bring; all the smokers with whom I talked could be roughly divided Into two classes those who smoked In order to relieve pain or misery, and those miserable vic tims who smoked to relieve the acute physical distress brought on by the opium Itself. Probably the majority of the victims take It up as a temporary ie lief; many begin In early childhood the mother will give the baby a whiff to stop Its crying. It Is a social vice only among the upper classes. The most no table outward effect of this Indulgence Is the resulting physical weakness and las situde. The opium smoker cannot work hard; he finds It difficult to apply his mind to a problem or his body to a task. As the habit becomes firmly fastened cn him, there Is a perceptible weakening of his moral fiber; he shows himself unequal to emergencies which make any sudd an demand upon him. If opium Is denied him, he will lie and steal In order to ob tain It. Opium smoking Is a costly vice. A pipeful of a moderately good native prod uct costs more than a laborer can earn In a day; consequently .the poorer classes smoke an unspeakable compound based on pipe-scrapings and charcoal. Along the highroads the coolies even scrape the grime from the packsaddles to mix with this dross. The clerk earning from twenty-five to fifty Mexican dollars a month will frequently spend from $10 to 120 a month on opium. The typical confirmed smoker Is a man who spends a consider able part of the night in smoking himself to sleep, and all the next morning in sleeping oft the effects. If he Is able to work at all, It Is only during the after noon, and even at that there will be many days when ths. official or merchant is In competent to conduct his affairs. Thou sands of prominent men are ruined every year. Samuel Merwln in Success Magazine. Bee Want Ads do the business. WHAT POLICE OWE THE 'PHONE Telephony Considered the Best Doc trine In the Baslnesa of Ferreting? Crime. i Not long ago a visitor asked one of the offioers at New York police headquarters who was the star of the force. The officer picked up the telephone on his desk snd said: "There you are. That's the greatest detective In the business." American police have an advantage over foreign police In that the system at their disposal Is better. It Is a common practice among the police of the big cities to tele phone all the way from ten to a thousand miles when on the trail of a suspect. In deed, the police In this country were among the first to make use of the device after Its Invention In the middle '70s, whereas It ap pears that the adoption of thi telephone as an agent ot the London police 1 a com paratively recent event. Today In this and other big American cities the police stations are within easy reach of everyone through the telephones In residences, business houses snd public booths. There sre many Instances in which night operators on call at central offices have brought the police. In some cases burglars hfcte out the wires before entering a build ing, so much do they fear detection through them. A servant In a house In a fashionable' quarter of New York, hearing suspicious sounds In the dead of night, tiptoed down stairs and woke up her mistress, the only other person In the house. This woman reached over In the dark, took her bedside telephone from the table snd asked for po lice headquarters. The policeman on that beat "rang In" a minute later, and before the rascal in the dining room had got all the silverware Into his kit he found himself looking Into the barrel of a revolver. Not so many years ago this would have been Impossible. New uses of the telephone In connection with the work of maintaining law and order come Into notice almost every dsy. Ths mayor in one of the cities In the Buckeye state, while presiding at an Inquiry, called for the testimony of one of the members of the police forcel It was-found that man was then patrolling; his beat "Call hint tip," said the official. When the man responded the mayor took his testi mony In form ot an affidavit. "Do you swear that this Is true 7" said his honor, reading the statement to the witness. The policeman took oath that he had spoken the truth, the whole truth and noth ing but the truth. "The affidavit Is admitted as testimony," said the mayor, and the Incident was over. There are many esses on record where witnesses have telephoned their testimony to the courts. In some parts of the coun try minor cases are frequently disposed of by telephone. . This Is particularly true of cases In which the defendant Is ready to plead guilty and the Judge knows that the fins Imposed will unquestionably be paid. The wire has come to be a common Inter mediary between the courts and the ac cused in trials relating to overspeedlng on the part of automobiles. New Yerk Post A Bad Liver. The only salvation for ths person with a torpid liver la through a changed sys tem of dietetics, combined with exerolse In the outdoor air, calisthenics and deep breathing. The person with a bad liver should habitually practice deep and long breathing, filling the lungs at each Inhala tion. The curative dietary must consist prin cipally of nerve and brain food. Includ ing fish and a reasonable amount of beef, with generous quantities of cereal foods and the fruits that are rich In acids. In warm weather It is best to abstain from milk altogether. Butter and vegetable fats, olive oil, boiled rice, baked apples, baked potatoes, graham or whole wheat bread, soft boiled eggs, all constitute a safe and nourishing diet for the bilious person.
