by the Berlin system used exclusively
by these Eminent Specialists.
The remedies and methods en-
ployed are new and are the result of
study and research during many
years of hospital, private and special
practice. They are without excep-
ton the only successful ones before
the medical profession today.
By means of costly appliances found
nowhere else west of Chicago, the
doctors are enabled to bring healing
agents directly to the diseased parts,
thereby producing cures in cases that
have tried all other means and failed.
The best physicians frankly admit
that this is the only way of perma-
nently curing Catarrh and Catarrhal
diseases.
Their Electro Chemic System in
com bination with medicine is proving
successful in all cases of Nervou seDe-

The chartering of two steamers TO
carry cargoes of corn from Philadel-
phia to Reval, in Northern Russia
taken in connection with the fact that
several cargoes have already been
shipped to the same port from other
Atlantic coast seaports, shows that
Russia begins to realize the value of
American corn as a cheap food for its
people, especially those living in the
northern and colder sections of that
country. The difficulty heretofore has
been to convince European consumers
that corn could be utilized as a nutri-
uous food for human beings. Large
quantities have heretofore been shin
ped abroad for brewing purposes, but
the prejudice against it as food prod
uet was extremely hard to eradicate.
Little by little, however, American corn
has been making Roadway in Europe.
and the Russian importations now in
progress give promise of an extensive
demand from that country in the near
future. The sections of Russia in
which corn can be grown profitablv
will also grow wheat, and the Russian
farmers are likely to continue to raise
wheat. leaving American corn to be i'm
ported as cheap food for those who
cannot afford to pay the prices wheat
Will bring in the European market.

only way in which soldiers can be dis

Phillips Brooks said, in the last
Thanksgiving sermon he preached: Il
defy a man TO put his finger upon any
page of history when it was clearer
than it is to-day that man has some
thing to do with his brethren and that
they are his brethren. Yes, it belongs
TO nations, too. No nation dare act in
sublime selishness." Whether the re-
-sIraining motive be high or low, the
fact of greed, envy, hate, under some
control. is a ground of hope for indi-
viduals and governments.

One of the matters now discussed by
the Iowa teachers is the making of the
township the unit of organization. I'm.
der the present system each independ-
ent school district, says the Chicago
Tribune, has a board of directors and a
secretary, making more than twenty
hye officers in the average township.
Many teachers believe better results
could be had by abolishing these dis
trict boards and centralizing control of
the schools In township boards. The
experience In other States would bear
out this view. In Philadelphia the
schools are managed In most wastefui
fashion. there being board of school
directors for each ward in the city with
great powers. TIE result is an extrav-
CANT management. Whenever there are
many boards, each consisting Of many
members, then there are large num-
Der or persons whose personal interests
must be looked after and whose friends
must be provided for. By reducing the
number OF directors these Influences
are reduced and economy follows. The
Legislature will do we'll to reorganize
the school system with the township as
the basis of organization.

Tradition carries the age of the tree
back to the time of Aesculaplus (of
whom Hippocrates was a lineal de-
scendant), which would add some 400
years to its age. A great part of the
trunk is built round. and there is a
fountain known as Hippocrates'
Fountain. The circumference of the
trunk is 80 feet. and there are two
