Do You Want a Home?
IF YOU DO, LET US HELP YOU FIND IT. HERE
WHAT WE HAVE TO SUGGEST:—
Along the K. C. S. Railway in Southwest Missouri and North-
/vest Arkansas there are many idle acres of the most fertile
*nd productive land in the United States. It is being divided
into 5, 10 and 20 acre farms and sold on easy payments. It
is exceptionally well adapted to fruit, truck and poultry rais-
ing. Strawberries, apples and poultry are the big money mak-
ers, and many men who have located on these lands have
made as high as $450.00 per acre. You can do the same. The
money you are paying for rent will buy you a home.
The water, the climate and the general health conditions
of the country are ideal. No long, cold winters; no extreme
heat in summer; no swamps; no malaria, and no mosquitoes.
You can buy these lands at from $15 to $25 per acre.
Write us for more detailed information and your letter wi'l
receive careful attention.

fiirni an abdominal operation.

operations in the early days w. re
I considered little less than mini

tions under which the work was
done, their success did seem a
special dispensation of Provi-
dence.
"1 remember in the early days
of my practice," said Doetor Em-
erson. "I was called to Chautau-
qua County to operate on a wo-
man for an abdominal tumor. The
house was a good deal like other
houses of that period. It consist-
ed of one room with no ceiling
(and with the roof timbers hung
full of peppers, catnip, various
kinds nf seed, harness and the
like. I saw it would not do to
operate in the house. I took two
barrels and put tlieni under a
tree. I placed two wagon side-
boards on top of the barrels.
This was my operating table. I
lien limited up an old kettle and
scoured it inside and out
