CANCERS AND TUMORs

Are constitutional diseases. Every drop of
blood in the body Is charged with canCerous
or humorous matter il you have either. Can
GERS or tumOrs never have been and never can
be cured by cutting them out. No cancer or
tumor ever has been or ever can be cured by
drawing it out with plasters, poultices, salves,
oils or any other preparation put up or made
for that purpose. The cancerOus or humorous
matter must be taken from every drop of blood
in the body before cure can be effected, 9th
erwise the poisonous matter remains in the
blood and a cure is impossible. The cause Is
not removed and the cancer or tumor is liable
to return at any time.
There Is only one medicine to be had-re-
member, only one--that will take the cancer
Gus and humorous matter with the blood,
effecting perfect and permanent cure. The
Red Cross Constitutional Medicine is the only
positive cure known for cancer or tumOr in
this the proper and only way that they can be
cured. You don't have to pay out a handful OF
money, either; there is cure within the reach
of all. We will furnish the medicine to you at
moderate price and charge you nothing for
consultation, advice or professional services.
BY using the medicine one or two weeks you
must be convinced of cure in any case.
There Is no necessity of suffering any longer
with cancers, tumors, carbuncles, scrofula,
boils, pimples ulcers or running sores. They
are all the outgrowth of diseased, poisonous
blood. This medicine can be had at the Office

Some Observations Of Interest to Both
Young and Old.

from the general financial depression,
failures and drOughths, that I quickly
note change and set myself the task OF
learning the cause.
In Great Bend | was impressed with
the unusual amount of life and business
when compared with other towns in size
and general advantages. Instead OF the
usual causes which keep town prosper
GUS, found one not often taken into
account from business point OF view
an educational institution. | had heard
incidentally of the Great Bend college;
had known that it's president, Professor
Stryker, stood in the front ranks as an
educator, and of late had heard con-
siderable buzzing about the new state
bOardof education, Stryker's Arithmetic,
etc. Having day at my disposal, l de-
termined, if possible, to learn how this
institution managed not only TO keep
itself alive and constantly growing, but
so materially to aid the town and all who
came in contact with it.
The past year has been unusually try
ing to all schools, many having lost ma
teriBlly in attendance; but the Central
Normal college has increased by more
than 25 per cent, and in spite Of the
drouth Ohe present term is larger than
ever before, while more than twice as
many ss in any former years have al
ready arranged for the next year.
Five years ago the Central Normal
college started with nineteen pupils;
this year it has enrolled more than 500
in actual attendance. 1t has had no
capital but the tireless energy and per-
sistent effort Of President and Mrs.
Stryker, and without dollar has made
more rapid progress than even our state
or church institutions with all their
money and patronage. This means some
thing, and the school is deserving Of
more than passing notice. There Is q
genial sOciability, q home atmosphere
here that welcomes alike the student,
friend, or stranger guest-R good fellow
ship between faculty and students not
often seen, and as q result the students
seem as free in asking help or counsel in
their perplexities as though with their
parents. More than this; the institution
is in touch with the great middle classes
the laboring people, and ILLS long
felt want by bringing q thorough edu-
cation within the reach of all who have
ambition to use their God-given facul-
ties; for those who are unable to pay even

price that no young man or woman Of
sound mind and body may be psrdoned
for remaining IN ignorance.
There 10 one other feature Of this
school which impressed me very much,
and that la the absence Of monied aris-
tocrscy. Our high schools and colleges
are too often hot beds of caste domino
tion and plutocratic snobbishness, whore
one is rated more by the number Of So
CiSties he joins and the amount Of money
he spends than by the manhood or
ability he displays. But here the stu
dent who works his way stands just as
high as the child Of plenty il his per-
sonsl merits are equal.
Many who are unable to take full
collegiate course, come for the short
hand or business course, and here no
pains have been spared to furnish every
thing desirable in o thorough, practical
business training. The work is in every
way fully equal to that given in the OK
Clusively business colleges, and the terms
are only from one third to One-half their
usual price. A course in both short
hand and business training is offered for
the usual price Of one, while the stu
dent has the advantage of any other line
Of work he may wish to pursue. His in
structors are not only specialists in their
work, but broadly educated; and instead
Of the prescribed limits of business
education, one is brought constantly in
contact with trained, progressive minds,
and other lines of thought in both fac
ulty and students. This alone is q very
important part Of an education.
The kindergarten department affords
another excellent opening for young
ladies who can spend but few months,
instead Of years, in preparing for remun-
erative employment. Already the de-
mand for trained Undergraduates is
greater than the supply, and the kinder
gRrten is destined to not only solve
many perplexing home problems, but to
become one OF the leading reformstory
measures OF civilization. There is gem
eral demand throughout the state for
private kindergsrtens. In this depart
ment as well as in higher grades of
teachers the Central Normal College has
been enabled to prepare graduates fast
enough to fill the positions which have
come to it asking for teachers.
I have neither time or space to men,
tion all the departments of the school,
nor does the occasion demand it. Suffice
it to say that full collegiate, oratorical,
musical and other courses are given.
The work in this is thorough and highly
satisfactory. There are specialists in
every department. Everywhere found
not only work of unusual thoroughness,
but what is still more, the students hsye
TO do their own thinking instead of de-
pending on their instructors to lead
them along or bridge over every difficult
place.
Since the adoption Of the new school
law the courses Of study have been
adapted to it, and anyone completing
the four years course as given here Ger
tainly deserves the state certificate to
which the Central Normal college
diploma entities him.

to Loaf" was the reply, "snd the ma
jority have learned the value OF time
and money. These serve as a check
upon others who otherwise might be
disposed to squsnder time. We sting
drones from the hive and promptly dis
patch cases of immortality; but when
students are placed on their own honor
and left to exercise their best Judgment,
they find little spice or pleasure in vast
ing time or lnventing tricks. As re-
suit we have as fine a class of young
people as was ever collected, and rarely
find it necessary to expel or even correct

only grew worse. The young man was
