FOOD VS. MEDXINC.
Dr. F. Magcndle, the cele-

in one of his publin. ed lectures:
"W en 1 was chief physician at

experiment of giving one-half of

treatment the customary num-

ond trial yielded a like result,

A TIMELY MOVEMENT
One of the most important pieces of
legislation that has appeared in con-
gress for many years is the Smith
Lever \grieultural Extension hill,
that provides for co-operation of the
general government and the states,
through special appropriations each
year to the colleges of agriculture,
to enable them to train and send out
into every community u capable farm
demonstrator to show the farmers
how to understand and apply the lat-
est scientific methods of farming to
their fields. This will make the voea
lion far more profitable through lar-
ger yields of better grain and at the
same time will build up the fertility
of the soil There is great need of
this, for farming is not only the most
important Industry we have but it is
one upon which everything rests.
This movement for better farming
was started by the National Soil For
tility and is being also urged by large
numbers of other organizations, in
eluding the National (Srange, Farm
eis" Institutes, Women's clubs, etc.,
nd over five hundred Business Men's
Associations The plan is well ad
vaneed and will probably be put into
oporation within a >eaj- or so at,
most.
The local agent of the Frisco lines.
Mr. c. E. Simmons, has a limited
quantity of printed matter for dis
tribution, and those interested would
