THE UEH: OMAHA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1013. f Nebraska I I 1 TRACTOR SHOWMCCESSFUL Exhibition at Fremont Has Been of Great Publio Benefit. BHOWS VALUE OF MACHINES Tour lltinilrrd nnd Flftr Aurrn of Land Tnrnrd Over and Much of It Dlnkrd lu Dlnplnr of 1iUI1I tlen of w Method. FREMONT, Neb., Sept. 12, (Special.) Today marked the close of the sreat ' tractor ahow at Fremont. Everybody there, both natives and visitors, was cti j Ihualaatlo over the success of the great allow. The tractor men themselves and the Implement men are especially cm. phatla In their expressions of approval and all express a desire to come back next year for another similar show, which they prophesy will be greater and more productive of eood than this ono has been. It Is to be hoped that I the prophecy will come true, but It Is I difficult to see how the show could be ' much greater or much better or much j more productive than It has been. Every J one is loud In their expression of praise j for the Twentieth Century Parmer for j promotlnr the show and for the Fremont Commercial club for the manner In which It has entertained and cared for the crowds of gueita. II I r Sole Mnde. At no time has the show been regarded as anything but an exhibition purely and simple. It was put forward simply for the purpose of Informing the public of the Missouri valley of what might be expected from the uses of mechanical power upon the farm. It waa not In tended that It should be used aa a. Mlllng proposition and It haa not been so used. Tet in spite of thla fact 160,000 worth of tractors were sold during the week, and $15,000 worth of Banff plows to be used behind the tractor. Tills may be taken as some emaaure of Interest, tho deep, studious Interest, that the show has created among the farmers. It Is a lib eral estimate that for every $1,000 worth of tractors actually sold at the exhibi tion there were $0,000 worth of prospects for sales discovered which will be utilized later. There were more than 2,000 visitors at the grounds, every one of whom showed the keenest interest. As soon as the exhibition closed the tractors started for town, and probably before midnight all will have been loaded and started on their way to their desti nation. There will be no show tomorrow. 3Ianr Acres PIOTTed. About 450 acres of ground have been plowed, and plowed welL Some of it haa been plowed with the deep-tilling ma chines and some of It haa been thoroughly disked with one of the immense double disks that was pulled behind the plows. This work in Itself is worth going far to see. It is the Intention of the owner of the land to put the entire amount of acreage into winter wheat. This is the final word with reference to the most unique and most attractive and the most beneficial show that has been offered to the publio of the Missouri .valley. The promoters of the show have proved themselves to be publio benefac tors. Everybody connected with the show goes home satisfied. There was no dis satisfaction felt anywhere! everything went off smoothly from start to finish. There will be no unpleasant memories to recall. This in itself under the circum stance is a remarkable tribute to those that managed the great exhibition.

The Introduction Into China ot western knowledge Is destined to work a com nleto revolution in medical and surgical practice in the Flowery Kingdom. One of the things that Is going and now nearly gone Is what Is called "acupunc ture" or pricking with needles, This mode of treating disease consists In stick ing long needles of silver or gold into tho body or members of the sufferer and then pulling them out, as housewives sometimes test their cakes with a broom straw to see If they are done. Reliable authorities tell of many cases In which this heroic system has brought nbout cures. Perhaps the patient woo scared Into being cured and decided to get well rather than be stuck any more. It Is declared that the Ch'.ncoe doctors are able actually to penetrate, the heart and other vital, organs with Melr needles without causing death, and that the pro cess does not cause any considerable amount ot pain. A lnrce amount of hocus-pocus and superstition Is mixed up with Chinese Some of the Chinese, remedies are undoubtedly of value, but in most cases they aie empioyea wunoui muw reference to their actual medicinal ef fect. For example, ginseng Is widely iik.!. hut iff roots that are most hlgniy prized and that are supposed to be the most efficacious arc those that happen to grow with two prongs to tho roots so as to resemble more or Una the hu man (nrm. Tlin meat of black doga 1 supposed to . bo good for consumptives, and even In Canton the traveler often I.laflr drier carcases still for sale. Orange peel is believed to be a very fine moilRlnfl! the ueels have such a maraei value, in fact, that oranges are commonly sold with the peel taken on. The Mongolian physician, after feeling one pulse, then th other, perhaps both inffMiio.r. doss blv mar decide that a lit tle dried grasshopper Is tho proper medi cine to be used. On the other liana, u the celestial of the native school sup poses, by the aotlon of the pulse, that the diseased condition requires some other form of treatment, tho Chinese drug store near at hand possessea al most everything under the sun as a prescription. Oftentimes the debilitated patient Is said to need a particularly rare and un usual medicine, as, for example, some preparation consisting of tho pulverised Arv hnnen of a tiger: treatment Is con sidered very commonplace when the na tive physician prescribes only sucn ordi nary things as dried .leaves, roots, stems, dried flowers, the bark of trees, etc. The Chinese doctor possesses many ideas peculiarly hla own. There Is much mvitrrv nnd lmDresslvcness In his man ner of treatment. According to Mongolian medicine, tho Chinaman believes tnat tne human heart Is more likely to become In flamed at noon during the summer sea son than at any other time. Likewise they regard the human ear aa suggesting the condition ot the kidneys, whlW the. mouth and Hps Indicate the condition ot the spleen and the stomach, "Doctor John" Chinaman lias evolved a wonderful system of diagnosis that de penda on twenty-four varieties of pulse, but entirely aside from these there are twenty-seven other special and minor varieties that prognosticate- death, One fundamental reason why the Chinaman ot today Is utterly Ignorant In knowl edge of human anatomy Is because of the ancient custom of the yellow man neither to dlsseot nor 16 study the muscles and Internal organs of the hu man body. The basis of this reluctance to Investigate the human body is In the ancestor worship which exists. The Chtncso revere the dead to such an extent that when the demise of a China man occurs he Is burled for three years. At the end of this time the body Is dug up and bones placed in a vase. The vase and Its contents are then Intel red for all future time. The Pathfinder, Veteran's Meun.

"O, yumr-Phlladelphla 1-edger, DANGER OF BURIAL ALIVE limtmirrs f Hnspenitril Autiiintlun In Old unit 1r-rr World. Dr. & P. Vollum, U. S. A., was, when a lad of 14 years, "drowned" In 1.0 ng Island Bound one morning about 10 o'clock. Ills body was placed lu a wngon and hauled three miles to His home and pre pared for burial. At daylight next morn ing one of tho watchers discovered signs of life. Vollum, after graduating at the medical college, passed the army exam ination and became a doctor In tho army. At the battle of Gettyburtr a bullet passed through tho head of General Paul, tearing out both eyes. Three da'B later his body was removed front the field Into a house. Dr. Vollum, having had a narrow escape from premature burial, had adopted the opinion "thnt there is no certainty of death until the body dearly shows decay," refused to have him burled. Several days later thu gen eral showed signs of life, and In time re covered his health ntid strength, and, although blind, lived for fourteen years In Waslilngton, D. C. Ill the afternoon of the battle of Chick amauga an Ohio soldier on Snodgrasa hill waa shot through the body. Ho waa carried to the regimental surgeon and pronounced dead. The writer had the pleasure of going over that field In 1SKS with this soldier and his handsome young daughter. He was then a member of the Ohio state legislature, and was a robust, healthy man. It seems that the third day after h was shot lie became sufficiently conscious to attract the attention ot a. sergeant ot a Virginia regiment, who poured some water on his wound and gave him some to drink. The next day the confederates carried htm to the doctors at Hnodgrast House. After Dr. Vollum was transferred to tho retired list he went abroad, and then a met a wealthy Englishman, who paid the expenses nt publishing tho book Vollum wrote some years later on premature burials. Vollum slates that two undertakers In England told the Kncllshtnan nnd him heir "that If what they personally knew wan published It would horrUy tin world." He stated that If a person died In Germany the law required that It be at once reported to the nearest physician of the government, who at once takes possession ot tho body, moves it to a mortuary, placing it lu a comfortable bed, where It Is under constant observation until decay la shown. The mortuaries are bultt lu cemeteries, and tho attend ants ltvo lu them. It Is said that the last mortuary built In Munich cost sev eral hundrod thousand dollais. Germany Is not a wealthy nation, and that suoh a frugal nation ahould spend thousands of dollars nvcry year to pre vent any one bolng burled alive shows that they consider the precaution nece. sary. Their doctors say the shock to tho solar plexus caused by n gunshot wound, a fall, a blow from a fist or club, or a tired and hungry person drinking a quan tity ot Ice cold water or beer, may causa apparent death that may last for days until the system recovers from the shock and revives, and the person Uvea. The same may also occur front weakness caused by Illness, especially during epi demics. They seem to think that American cus toms are rather brutal. To bury within two or three days does not give the body time to recover, and allowing all our un. dertakera at once to Inject ID cents .worth of embalming fluid Into the body kills all chance of Its ever reviving.
