says:
One hundred thre&hermen are wanted
in Pratt county to assist in the work
of threshing the immense crop, accord

Wichita, Kan.
The Wichita Eagle
Gentlemen: Please announce through
the columns of the Eagle that the
threshermen of Pratt county are badly
in need of help. There is hardly
threshing machine running that is not

been compelled to shut down for lack
of help.
We want at least 100 men as quick as
we can get them. Wages run from $1.75

last about 80 days longer.
If the men will call at my office here
in Pratt will send them out
Please give this information to the

FROM TOPEKA

Eight and a half hours work at
linotype machine without a moments
intermission even for lunch is not
bad nights work for a sick man. This
was the record made by b. v. Kelley,
manager of the Topeka Typesettins
Co., 116 West Sixth street, on Monday
night and thereby hangs a tale.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Kelley Wa
hardly able to navigate. Over nina
years ago he began to suffer with
stomach trouble and about two weeks
ago it attacked him with reinforce-
ments in the shape of appendicitis and
congestion of the liver. 1t made him
sick, so sick that he couldn't eat or
work. 1t was in that shape that he
saw Prof Larson a week ago Monday
night.
"Why, after the first treatment.+
Mr.. Kelley remarked to a reporter, n
sat down to the machine and did
good nights work, when 1 was un-
able to work more than two or three
hours out of the twenty-four for
week previous. 1 took three treat
ments last week and have been work.
ing day and night since. / would new
err have been equal to the emergency
that was thrust upon me by rush
of work had I not taken those treat
ments of Prof. Larson. Now eat
anything and all want without dis
tress.. The soreness in the region OF
the appendix has disappeared abso-
lutely, and L haven't felt the pair
through my lung since. L was Sleep
less before, but now L rest well. ItG
a great treatment and expect It to
put me back to the place 1 was nine
years ago. I simply feel fine"
Mr.. Kelley lives at 726 Topeka ave-
nue., and is held in high repute by all
who know him. His remarkable
statement simply adds to Prof. lar.
sons wonderful reputation as a heal
er, coming as it does on the heels of
his recent public statement regarding
his ability to cure appendicitis, and
will result in bringing to his Offices al
the National hotel scores of people
who have been waiting to see what
he would accomplish here. Larson
never waits. He gets results and the
people who begin treatment first are
usually the ones who are first cured

81 wouldn't take anything for the
good Prof. Larson is doing me. Why
I'm getting well, old as i ann
This was the statement with which
a Capital reporter was received when
by chance he met Mrs. E. NJ. Trow-
bridge leaving the offices of Prof. j
Austin Larson at the National hotel
Monday evening.
Now, practically everyone in To-
peka who can read knows of the great
work this natural healer. Larson. has
been doing throughout Kansas in the
past year, but many have been wait
ing for a story of a Topeka patient
who is getting well, and here it is:
Mrs. Trowbridge is wonderfully
well preserved woman of nearly 20
years of age. Her husband was the
late DIR. N. Trowbridge. a regular
practicing physician and druggist of
Council Grove, Kan, for nearly thirty
years. Her daughter. at whose home,
500 West Sixth street, she spends a
portion of her time, is the wife of the
popular dry goods merchant. A. B.
Rose, whose store is on the west side
of Kansas avenue near the corner of
stinted in her praise of Prof. Larson
power and never lets pass an oppor-
tuinty to recommend him to her
friends. In part she said:
81 took a few treatments of Prof.
Larson at Abilene this spring and got
better. Now 1 am completing my
course of treatments and am getting
well. Prof. Larson is all right. His
work at Abilene. where he is so high
ly spoken of, proves that.
81 think very few possess Prof.
Larson's power and I can speak very
highly in his praise. Healers are born
such, not made by education in the
art of massage or mere manipulative
treatment. My trouble was what doc
tors called rheumatic govt, causing
an enlargement of the joints of my
hands so that I could not open or
shut them. Sciatic rheumatism also
attacked me about year ago. finally
settling in my left knee, making it
stiff and causing me to walk with a
limp for the past six or eight months

MINISTER'S TRIAL
Coffee Hit Him Hard Indeed.

A minister of the gospel writes about
Postum: Il was for years a sufferer
from headaches; sometimes they were
so violent that grooming in agony I
would pace the floor or garden holding
my throbbing head for relief.
1T tried all sorts of remedies known
to the allopathic and homeopathic
schools, sometimes I thought it was
caused by the stomach or biliousness
and again would suspect it was purely
nervousness and treated myself accord
ingly, but nothing ever gave me per-
manent relief. Having to appear be-
fore the public nearly every night, it
was sometimes almost impossible for
me to fulfill my engagements. Finally
came to suspect that the use of tea
and coffee had something to do with
my disorder and abruptly discontinued
the use of both and took on Postum
for a trial.
From that happy hour 1 commenced
to mend; gradually I got better and
better and now 1 do not have a head
ache once in months and all my other
troubles are gone too. I am now using
Postum exclusively and want no better
beverage.
At know of others who have been ben
Gifted by the use of Postum in place of
coffee. A friend of mine here in Key
West, a hardware merchant, suffered
for years with stomach and other trou-
bles while he was using coffee, finally
he quit and began using Postum and

Where they play Tuesday:
Sedalia at Topeka.
Springfield at lola.
Fort Scott at Leavenworth.
Joplin at PittSburg.

What may be known as the .'Beviss
Case ultimately, and the decision of
which may be of vital Importance
to the league, is growing out of the
refusal of the crack Sedal1a leIt-neIder

After playing here a month ne was
traded to Sedalia for Big John Schrant:
Bevis never had a contract mere ana
was never rendered one. Gus AlDerts,
then manager makes this statement.
Bevis claims now that he played at
Seddlia for thirty days ana was not

To this Secretary Codding replies: Il

right and ended all right. 1t was a
good success. Last season was a disas-
trous one for the magnates in point of
finance. Every team in the league
lost money and somebody had to reach

the salary limit was placed at about
the right angle but the managers vio-

boys violated the laws of the land when
their gang was the terror of the south

President Shiveley was to make them
live up to the limit, but every club was
so eager to get the bunting and so in
fear that one of the other teams would
take the lead, that money was spent
lavishly for good pitchers and fielders.
