To demonstrate the unusual curative
powers of his new and complete
special treatments by mail for heart
disease, short breath, pain in the side,
oppression in the chest, irregular
pulse, palpitation, smothering spells,
putting of the ankles, or dropsy, DR..
Miles will send four dollars worth
free as trial, to all who mention this
paper.
His treatments are the result of
twenty-five years of careful study, ex-
tensive research, and remarkable ex.
perience in treating the various
ailments of the heart, stomach and
nerves, which so often complicate
each case. So astonishing are the
results of his complete special treat
ments that he does not hesitate to
offer all persons trial free.
Nothing could be more generous.
Few physicians have such confidence
in their remedies There is no reason
why every afflicted person should not
avail themselves of this exceedingly
liberal offer, as they may never have
another such opportunity. No death
comes as suddenly as that from heart
disease.

SPECIAL CROPS.

Certain states best produce certain
agricultural products. At least it seems
to be taken for granted that such prod
ucts will do better in such states than
anywhere else. For instance, Connect
lieut. is noted for its fine grade of to-
bacco. So is q limited area in Dane
and Walworth counties, Wis. New
Jersey sends US the best sweet pota-
toes, and Michigan from just a narrow
strip on the lake shore our finest
peaches. The growing of broom corn
is centered in one or two counties in
central Illinois, while we take 1t for
granted that all peanuts come from
Virginia and North Carolina. The
good butter comes from limited area
Nebraska. while If you get hold Of
a piece Of good cheese it is more than
likely that it was made at Wisconsin
or York state cheese factory. Some
localities run to beet sugar and some
to sweet corn and canning factories.
In most of the cases named it is not
true that any particular locality has
any special advantage over other
places, save as the growing of certain
crops may be arbitrarily regulated by
climatic conditions. For instance, 1t
has been discovered that the special
soil needed for growing a choice grade
of tobacco is not confined to the limited
localities where it has been heretofore
grown. that peanuts will grow on any
of the light soils of the south. that as
good apples can be produced in Iowa
and Minnesota as in the eastern
states, that broom corn is good crop
for Kansas and Oklahoma and that
as fine butter can be made In Loui-
siana as In Minnesota. The mission OF
improved agriculture Is to look into
these things and open new areas of
territory for the growing of new crops.

WON'T MILK.

1t seems on the face Of 1t strange
that a time of general agricultural
prosperity such as the country has
rarely known could in any way injure
any farm industry. but 1t is fact that
such condition has seriously hurt the
creamery business. 1t comes about in
this manner: The farmers, finding
themselves on easy street, very natu-
rally sought some relief from the
heavy burdens of farm work. and the
keeping of dairy herd being one Of
the most slavish and burdensome Of
the farm interests they naturally de-
cided to quit milking, with the result
that not few creameries have been
forced to quit business in those locali-
ties where they had done business sue
cessfully for many years.

much until population becomes more
dense than It is at present. In Eng.
land and on the continent the best
farms are worth much more money
from $3.50 TO $500 per acre but IN such

EDISON WILL TEST NEW
BATTERY IN RUN TO BOSTON.
Is Building Special Electric Car Fitted
With Latest to Compete
With Best Automobiles of World.
REPUBLIC

REPUBLIC PECTAL
New York. Aug. 21.-It was learned to-
day that Thomas A. Edison is building a
special electric car fitted with his new stor-
age batteries to be used in the 5cO-mile re-
liability run. which will be held in October
under the auspices of the Club
OF America.
The journey will be to Boston and return.
1t will be the first public test of the inven-
ton.
Edison has devoted considerable time and
energy TO the perfection of a storage bat
terry that would give long mileage and.
though he does not UNFOLD any of the ridic-
ulous claims for cheapness that have been
printed. he seems confident of his ability to
produce a Nicken-Iron storage battery that
will propel a carriage further than any bat
terry now in use.
Edison has stated that, to deserve the
name, a storage battery should be a per-
fectly reversible instrument, receiving and
giving out power like a dynamo motor
without any deterioration of the mechanism
of conversion. He has been working for a
number of years on the problem of a true
storage battery. but admits that he has only
reached the second stage of his improve
ment.
FROM q VISITOR TO the Edison laboratory,
1t was learned that the famous inventor
hopes to negotiate the 500 miles from here
to Boston and return at a pace which will
Compare favorably with the limit set by the
club.
The Endurance Committee of the A. c. A.
has provided for an electric class with lib
eral rules for the changing of batteries and
for legalized stops.
The machine that Mr.. Edison expects 10
enter in the test will probably be of the
runabout order and equipped with the very
latest of his experimental batteries. These
batteries weigh a little less than leading ones
now in use. and are said to be capable of
furnishing power enough to propel a vehicle
eighty-five miles without a stop.
In the rOund-trip reliability test to Bos-
ton. starting October S. the promoters eX-
pect about rs cars to participate. Provision
is made for gasoline. steam and for cleo
trio machines. The schedule allows six days
for the journey, and speeding faster than
fifteen miles an hour will court disqualified
ton.
On this trip, the longest ever promoted
in America. Edison will publicly test his
invention. His selection would indicate that
he has no fear of the results of his auto
mobile. even when opposed to the finest
product of America and Europe.

TREATMENT OF SMALLPOX.
Statistics Show Vaccination More
Effective Than Disinfectins.
REPUBLIC

Springfield. Ill. Aug. 21.-secretary ].
A. Egan of the Illinois State Board of
Health received to-day an official report
from the Board of Health of Cleveland, O..
which, in his opinion, disposes of the con-
tention that disinfection is more eficacious
In stampin out smallpox than vaccination.
This report" said Doctor Egan, shows
a total or 3O1 cases OF the disease and forty
four deaths. This is a greater mortality
from smallpox than Chicago has had in
nve years, and when the relative population
OF the two cities is taken into consideration
the comparison is striking.
"A year ago Health Commissioner Fried
rich of Cleveland announced that the Health
Department would no longer depend upon
vaccination in stamping out smallpox, and
batted with dislnfectants. His announce
ment was hailed with delight by the per-
sons who are opposed to vaccination. and
Tor the past twelve months Cleveland has
been constantly cited as a city where vac
cination was not enforced and where there
was no smallpox / have understood all
along that smallpox existed in the city and
that the experiment was a failure. but
until the official report was received | was
not aware that the mortality had been So
great.
Those who have faith In vaccination
nave watched the Cleveland experiment with
interest. Although 1 had little faith in it.
sun l mad hoped that the disease might be
stamped out with disinfectants. The out
come shows that vaccination is the only
thing to be relied on. Where II is resorted
to, as it is in Illinois. there are few cases
and those which appear are seldom fatal
The contention that thorough vaccination
VIII stamp out the disease still holds COOL
ana L snail continue to urge it."
