life on the farm. He received COM
mon school education near his home
and later on prepared himself for col
lege. He entered Bowdoin college, at

SPRING A SENSATION.
centervlle osteopath Says He Has a
Cure for Consumption.


Des Moines, Dec. 2S.-A sensation
nothing short of profound was caused
at the meeting last night at the Still
College of Osteopathy at 1430 West
Locust street OF the osteopaths Of
Iowa when DR.. William West, young
csteopathist of Centerville, Iowa,read
a paper in which he gave in detail a
new and it is asserted, successful
treatment for tuberculosis.
DR.. Vests paper, which was scien-
tific and technical, dealt with the treat
meEt and the results of the care of
ten patients whom he has treated
since last June, each one of whom was
restored to health.
In word, the treatment hinges on
a knowledge of the Importance of the
functions of the spleen and the max
ing use of splenic vibrations. Dr. West
demonstrates before death the blood
forming functions of the spleen by vi
brating the spleen and throwing into
the blood stream the phagocytes which
prey on the bacteria of tuberculosis.
Furthermore, in his treatment he aims
to correct organic diseases of the ali
mentary tract and give to the diseased
lungs the support of healthy organs.
Added to this is the auxiliary treat
ment. in which the greatest attention
lis paid to diet, pure air, sunshine, qui-
etude and freedom from emotional ex-
cesses. The diet insisted upon con-
tsists largely of fats, proteids and car
iboihydrates.
.s.zggn NJ Is the First. ,@
The paper read by DR.. West last
might was the first in which a success
| full treatment for consumption or tn.
berculosis was ever presented to an
osteopathic audience. 1t is said to be
a discovery that will startle the medi
cal world. At the meeting DR.. West
was frequently interrupted with ap
plause while reading his paper. AT
the close of it DR.. G.. l.. Parsons, OF
Eagle Grove, spoke of its value. A
rising vote of thanks was rendered the
young man. DR.. West replied to the
many kind things said of him and his
treatment that the discovery coming
directly from DR.. Still to the whole
practice, together with the demonstra
lions and the cures in 100 per cent OF
the cases tested, showed the method
of cure to be absolutely infallible up tc
the point where the body has lost Its
normal powers of resistance.
Without the spleenic vibrations, DR.
West says the treatment is absolutely
yalueless. Tests were made to deter
mine this. In each case, he says
where the spleenic vibrations were in
duced by the usual osteopathic meth
DDS. in connection with the usual at
tention given by osteopaths to the ali
mentary tract, and costal vibrations
the rally of the patient was speedy.

The history of the presentation O

to last June, when the class of 1901
graduated. DR.. S. S. Still, head of the
college, selected six young men, o

Some of the Conditions.
To appreciate our own government
and to understand the position which
the United States occupies among the
countries of the western hemisphere.
it is necessary to listen to the senti-
ments of people contending every
few months with new revolution, op-
pressed in their business enterprises
by fluctuating currency and heavy
export duties, and restricted in all
walks of life by harassing conditions.
Fancy land where the majority of
the people depend for their meat sup
ply upon monkeys and parrots, where
milk and butter are unknown, where
,sthe stores close from 10 to IL In the
Morenoon for breakfast, and at
O'Clock for the day, where one kind of
money is good on one side of the
street and valueless on the other, and
where the railroads use Clipped mar.
Bile for ballast and mahogany for ties.
These are some OF the unusual condi-
tions which exist in Central America.

The Growing Business Prosperity of
 Large Advertisers.

Under date of November The Re publican's Los Angeles correspondent writes as follows concerning one of it's noon was in the offices of the Dr. Jos len company, and of all of the offices upon which I call in this city there are none where one feels so at home and re- ceives more courteous treatment. Their laboratory is one of the largest on the coast, so I have been informed by sev- eral persons in a position to know. and, judging from the number of patients that called during the short time I was there, one must infer that their busi- ness is fully in accord with their facili- ties for handling it. And one of the assistants informed me that it was not their busiest hour. Their offices are sumptuously fitted and very homelike, though througnout it all there is the unmistakable air of genuine business"
 Among those who should be in a po- sition to know the inside facts this firm bears reputation which comments them for fair dealing and square busi- ness methods. It is this fact which has enabled them to secure their strong hold on the general public. and gives them firm friends with patrons all over Arizona, well throughout the southwest.
 Mrs. Gerow. at 3Osk South Spring street. Los Angeles. who has advertised regularly in The Republican for several months, reports that she finds her Ari- zona business very desirable and grow ing. Being proficient in the art of ac- cordion plating, she has established herself in this line all through the ter territory. Her work is said to be first class and her patrons among the best people. Her business is practically all from mail orders.

Consolidation does not seem to pos- sess an agricultural predilection. The census of 1900 shows that the total number of farms in the country has in creased in ten years from 4.500.000 to ,. TOO, coo, an increase of more than 20 per cent. The number of farms worked by the owners has increased 300. .000, or IS per cent. Tenant farmers have in creased about 40 per cent. chiefly in the east where farmers have gone to town to live at their ease and rented their farms to tenants. Still there are n great many farms that are too large for their owners and should be sub divided. This is particularly the case in the south, where the idea has always prevailed that a farmer should own not only the land he cultivated. but q much larger area outside his fence on all foIS sides and the more of this outside land he paid taxes on the better. This policy. however, is waning. and in many places practically all the land is under fence. though only half of it may -e cultivated. There is room for more division of farms and more self-sus- taining farm homes, and more inde- pendent farmers.

Governor Durbin has refused to honor the requisition for ex-Governor Taylor of Kentucky. It is perhaps just as well that he should have done so, even if one gives an extreme support to the notion that the laws of each state shall be recognized in other com monwealths. It is not quite proper to pin all faith to the merits of such a view as that. Against it is the idea that each state shall see ot it that such acquisitions as are made upon it's gov ernor for a fugitive are strictly within reason. The governor of a state is called upon to do what is right in all circumstances, and if he cannot believe that in honoring an order from another he is doing right, he should refuse to heed the injunction. There must be some manner of carrying the case to the supreme court of the United States if Kentucky wishes to do so.

ance of every citizen of Maricopa county and of every citizen of the ter ritory is urgently needed. It cannot be stated too often that statehood is with in our reach. The president is favor able to it. the press of the country with singular unanimity is speaking kindly of the movement. and almost every congressman heard from has promised his aid. It is the firm belief of The Republican that only lack of zealous work on the part of our own people can make defeat possible.
 The letters sent should not be long. They should state some of the strong est reasons why Arizona ought to be aomitted to the union and should ask for careful reading of the memorial of the territorial convention. And these letters should not be confined to per- sonal acquaintances. Every public spirited congressman will be glad t" hear from the people of Arizona on this important subject. and the communica- tions to any member cannot be made too numerous.

 citizenship of Maricopa county, and it is. The board of trade considered that the excellent work of the statehood convention should be supplemented by every assistance that could be rendered. and it was seen that important missionary work with mem bers of congress could be done through correspondence from a zealous com mittee.
 The first meeting of the committee was held last night. and the enthusi- asm exhibited promises excellent re suits. pr. Ford. the able president of the board of trade. was unanimously elected chairman of the committee. and Mir. Hamilton. whose effective services as secretary of the board have won general approval. was elected to the secretaryship of the committee. This properly the mouthpiece of the people of the valley. The primary purpose in appointing the committee was to have Arizona's claims to statehood placed before every member of the Fifty seventh congress. and to this end it is intended that letters shall be written at once to every member. inclosing the convincing memorial which was adopt ed by the territorial convention. The population of Maricopa county com- prises men from probably every state in the union, and there are few sen ators or representatives in the incom- ing congress who are not personally acquainted with one or more residents of this county. It is made the duty of each member of this Committee of One Hundred to write at once to every sen ator and representative that he knows. The performance of this duty should not be delayed. Congress will convene in three weeks, and letters should be written now to the home addresses Of the congressman. A full list of the membership of the Fifty-seventh con- gress is in possession of the secretary of the committee. Members of the com mittee upon looking this list over will undoubtedly be surprised to learn the number of representatives and senators with whom they are acquainted. Not only is it made the duty of the com mittee to write letters as stated. but they are requested to ask the co-opera- tion of every citizen who is not a mem Der.
