tho author have fixed upon no particular
location for the proposed capital, but sug
gest sites In England. France, Belgium.
Holland. Italy, and, oddly enough, for
the United States on the coast of New

as welli aa to the heads and officials of
the various nations. In this way It Is
hoped to reach the general public, be
sides tho more advanced theorists and
scientists. The project seems a meritori
ous one and much haa been accomplished
In this book toward giving It a definite
form, but tho tremendous task still re
mains of finding a Iqcatlon for this chlof
city of the world and making a reality
in mortar and stone.
Tho volume Is a remarkable piece of
book-making and contains numerous fine
reproductions of plans, elevations and
perspective vlewa of the different build
ings, groups of statuary and gardens
which are to be constructed. It is dated
1913 and was published In Paris. The
author has dedicated his gtgantlc work
to his brother, Andreas M. Andersen,
who for some, time cherished the general
Mcheme of a central city and worked
upon the early propositions with the au
thor.
A'otea ArchHectoral Styles.
The first part is a general treatment
ot tho historical aspect ot architecture
and urbanlsm by Prof. Gabriel Ierour
of the University Of Bordeau. It la de
voted to tracing briefly the chief archi
tectural conceptions that have definitely
marked the growing phasg,.of human de
velopment In several parts of the vrorld
i nd to noting the purposes. these concep
tions have served, Illustrating various
ityles and the tabor spent upon develp
inr and beautifying them. The,, second
Krt ot the book presents architectural
plana and suggestions 'for conveniently
tnd ' harmoniously .meeting the Incipient
need, which It Is felt, sooner or later
will give evidence of becoming a' vital
necessity to all parts ot the Inhabited
world; that Is, the need of an Interna
tional world center ot communication
is Many-Stded Project,
To describe this many-sided project
without the aid of the diagrams and
plans, la well-nlgji Impossible, on account
3t the detail with which It has been
worked up by the author and the archi
tects. The site to be chosen Is a sea
port. Approaching from the water, the
great capital, covering ten square miles,
.Ics before one, displaying the full beauty
Its magnificent edifices, towers statu
try, promenades, gardens, roads, lagoons
nU canals. The port I reached through
i monstrous sea-gate, surmounted on
.Hher side by two coloitsal figures, which
cuds Into a great basin' and harbor well
nharved for the docking ot all manner
sf craft, large and smell. From the great
basin, canals branch out to encircle the
hoJe, forming both a barrier and a
means of water transportation. Near
the shore and opposite this gate Is the
vhyslcal culture center, Including a great
iladlum, fields for sports, a great body
of water forming a grand canal In the
shape of a T, with a water theater and
other features. From the grand canal
etralKht Inland, extends a .beautiful wall,
the avenue ot nations, on either side ot
which are the great buildings ot the art
and science centers, Palaces of eduoa
tlcn, religion, art, administration, science,
Justlco and finance, and remarkably ar
tlitlo fountain, succeed one another un
tl'. the Congress Square la readied. Here
stands the Tower of Progress, a combi
nation ot a sky-scraper and an EUfle
tower, 1,000 feet In height, In which It Is
planned to locate a central station for
the publlo carriers and communication
systems, the offices of international
bocletles, the world press, and Interna
tional presa bureau, wireless communlea-
ilon. and other universal Interests will
have their headquarters located on the
many floors. This great tower, tn the
center ot the main square, forms the
icart of both the international center
and the city proper. In every direction
from It radiate the broad avenues of
the city, which la divided into quarters
and topes readily connected with the
monumental group of buildings, by spac
ious avenues. The quarters comprise
i evidential, buslneis and industrial sec
tions. Like the center luelf. the dty
and Its sones are separated by water
ways, the outermost of which forms a
wide navigable canal connecting the sea
with the basin for commerce, which lie
on the outer extremity of the town.
Jaelade Necessities.
The plans of the International center
Include nearly every public necessity and
convenience one can Imagine; among
them, stadiums, libraries, buildings for
scientific research, administrative palaces,
museums, conservatories, Institutions of
art, music, letters, eta, and recreation
buildings. Including one for physical cul
ture for men and another for women
umnalums with outdoor and covered
st tmmlng pools, besides fields for every
lonu of out-door sport. The whole laid
out with water, heating, lighting and
sanitary systems.
The volume gives a comprehensive
description of this Ideal capital for the
wciid, and Include such roarvelously
wrought designs that one cannot fall to

Advertised as the
Places Where the
Corn Never Fails
While other roads are advertising the
opening of resorves to settlements, the
Rock Island Is turning Its attention to
an old country, one that Is developed and
where the corn crop never falls. Rela
tive to this. It. M. Cottrcll, the agrtcul
tuial commissioner of the road says:
"Corn never falls In Arkansas and
Louisiana. The year 1913 haa been one of
the dryest years the central, part ot the
United States has ever seen. They had
what they called a drouth through Ar
kansas and Louisiana, but the corn down
ttfere Is yielding thirty-five to eighty
bushels an acre where good seed and
tillage were ueed. In 1911 there was a
general drouth that extended from the
Itocky mountains to the Atluntlo ocean
and from the Canadian line to the gulf.
Corn failed in many states. Oood farm
ers In alt the corn districts of Arkansas
and Louisiana raised forty-five to 100
bushels an acre that dry year. Corn
never falls down there.
"Why does corn never fall in Arkan
sas and. Louisiana,? The average annual
rainfall comes through the spring and
summer. The rainfall la light during the
ripening and gathering season. There is
never a failure from drouth. Tho grow
ing season In Louisiana Is eight months;
in central Arkansas over seven months.
Com Is never damaged by frost Tho
toil on the bottom lands Is as rich aa that
In the valley of tho Nile. Tho soil on,
the uplands Is only moderate fertile, but
the ample rainfall and long growing sea
sons mako It produce good yields.
"The corn grower In northern Louisi
ana Is only 200 miles from New Orleans,
whllo tho corn grower In central Arkansas
Ii only 500 miles from that great grain
exporting point. This nearness to the
point of export gives the corn growers
Of these two states an average of 10
cents a bushel more for their corn than
the farmers receive in the northern corn
belt. Thea two southern states offer the
greatest opportunity In the world for
corn growers."

MISSING THOMPSON
IS SEEN IN LINCOLN
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct IL (Speclal.)-A state
ment made by a state house employe has
it that Paul Thompson, who some time
ago disappeared In Kansas City under
circumstances which at first led to the
belief that he had been murdered, waa
In Lincoln about a week ago and was also
seen In Omaha about the same time. At
the time Thompson disappeared he waa
a deputy In the office of Fire Commis
sioner Rldgell and considerable effort waa
made to locate him, but to no avail.
A week after Thompson's disappearance
a young man by the name of Tierce, a
close friend ot Thdmpson and who also
had recently married, also disappeared
nnd It was considered that they were to
gether. Until Thompson was seen last
week and with htm a man whose descrip
tion answered that of Pierce, nothing had
been heard.
The man who saw Thompson spoke
with him and Insists that It was Thomp
son. They were In a hurry at the time
and on returning five minutes later for
the purpose of talking with him could
get no sight ot either of the men.

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence ot capillary bronchitis
and pneoumonla. use coush medicines
that contain codlne, morphine, heroin and
ether sedatives when you havo a cough
or com. An expectorant like Chamber
lain's dough Remedy la what Is needed.
That cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs of pneu

Inducing Many to
Plan Tropic Trips
Harry C. Shields, stsampehlp agent
Sll Bouth Fourteenth street Woodmen
of the World building, says they have
been busy since the cooler weather with
their Panama and West Indies cruise
business, an the hint of winter's ap
proach seems to have suggested to peo
ple that a cruise In tropical waters at
a time when the enow Is flying and the
thermometer below roro at home, would
be just about ' the nicest thing Imagin
able.
Mr. Shields sals the cruises are from
sixteen to twenty-eight days in dura
tion and cost from UtS up. The attrac
tive featured of tha steamers aro many,
Including unsurpassed cuisine and ser
vice, perfect ventilation and heating
arrangements. Electric fans In all rooms,
fully-equipped laundries, photographic

trio elevators, and In fact everything that
will aldd to the comfort and pleasure of

Prince, Klpgston, Tansma Canal. La
Ouayra, Port ot Spain. Orlghton (pitch

POSTUM
If the old aches and pains begin to leave after
a few days on Postum, you'll know whether to
stick to it or go back to coffee troubles.

Regular Postm mrut be well boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder. A
spoonful dissolves in a cup of hot water, a&d with
sugar and cream makes a delicious beverage
instantly.
Drink It instead of coffee
"There's a Rea-ron"
A lady writes from the land of cotton
ef the results of a four years' use'of the
food beverage, Postum;
"Ever since I can femember we had
used coffee three times a day. It had a
more or less Injurious effect upon us all,
and I suffered almost death from Indi
gestion and nervousness,
"I know Jt waa coffee, because when I
would leave It off for a few days I would
feel better. But It was hard to give
coffee- up, even though I realized how
harmful It was to me.
"At last I found a perfectly easy way
to make the change. Four years ago I
abandoned the coffee habit and began to
drink Postum and I also Influenced the
rest of the family to do the same.
'ven the children are allowed to
drink It a freely aa they do water. "And
It has done us all great good. I no longer
sniffer from Indigestion, and my nerves
are In admirable tone since I began to
use Postum. We never use coffee any
more.
"We appreciate Postum aa a delightful
and healthful beverage, which not only
Invigorates but supplies the best of
nourishment aa well." Name given by
