RECLAMATION OF ARID LAND.

Chicago, Oct. 3O.-At the banquet of
the Commercial Club at the Auditorium
the subject under discussion was
whether the federal government should
make appropriations for the construc-
ton of water storage reservoirs and
for the reclamation of the arid land.
Professor Elwood Mead, irrigation
expert of the department of agricul-
ture, described the conditions prevail

and diagrams the magnitude of the

ing the arid regions. He showed the
contrast between the desert and Guilt
waited land and explained the reasons
| why irrigation is necessary throughout
one-third of the United States and
beneficial to at least two-thirds of the
entire extent of the country.
George 81. Maxwell, executive chair
man of the National Irrigation Asso-
citation, emphasized the fact that

of the vast tracts of arid land must be
made by the national government
the owner or custodian of these lands.
He described eloquently the POSSIBLE

home builders on the land and showed
that the areas now desert and unpro-
ductive could, if reclaimed by irriga-
ton under a wise system, support not
only farming population, but also
through a cheapening of food products
promote the development of the mining

DRUNKENNESS CURED.

Dr.. KeeIey's Famous Cure for the Liquor
and Morphine Craving in Kansas City.
That drunkenness and the morphine
habit are thoroughly cured by the
treatment originated by Dr. Kelley
has long since been proven beyond a
peradVenture. DR.. Keeley's theory
that alcohol and narcotic drugs affect
the nerve cells in such a manner that
the drug finally becomes necessity
to. them in order that they may per-
form their functions, is now generally
accepted by the medical profession.
The Kelley treatment restores the
nerve cells to a healthy condition, in
which condition there is no necessity
for alcohol or narcotics, and the cray-
ing which the patient experienced dis
appears.
The Kelley Institute of Kansas City,
Mo-, has administered this treatment
for nearly ten years. and there are. in
nearly every town in the southwest,
living examples of the transforma-
tons brought about by the Kelley
treatment as administered at this In
stitution. Hundreds of men and wo-
men have been placed under treat
ment as a last resort, their condition
having become such that their friends
despaired of their recovery, and ex-
pected nothing else but that they must
soon be confined in an asylum or laid
IN the grave. and they have, after a
few weeks treatment, been restored to
a surprisingly good condition of health.
every vestige of the craving for stimu-
1ants gone, and self-respect and self
confidence restored.
This Institute has for many years en-
joyed the reputation of being one of
the best appointed and most success
