A GREAT INSTITUTION.

It is unusual that a single institution in
city of {. 600 people will Overshadow In i'm
portance every Other interest. but such is
the case with the American School of
Osteopathy, and A I. Still 1nhrmary at
kirksville, Mo
a stranger in kirkSvi1le is Immediately
impressed with the idea that the town is
sustained by this institution, in fact,
KirkSville has been made what 1t is to-day
by DR.. Still and his famous School and
Infirmary. 1t is the largest patronlzed I'M
endowed institution of it's kind in the
United States.
DR. Stills school enrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the course of study. There are
over 1900 eradu ties and they are prac-
ticing in every stale and territory OF the
Union. About two-thirds of the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
in medical colleges except drugs" and
osteopathy Is substituted for that So
thorough is the teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
sected yearly by the students
At the Infirmary, patients from every
part OF the country auld with almost every
form of disease are constantly under treat
ment. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to kirksville has
lief by the science of Osteopathy. b y the
thousands who have left the institu tion
benefited bv the treatment, the science has
been heralded to the world as a safe and
rational method of cure. Several years age
free clinic was established in connection
and this is still in operation Hundreds OF
the worthy poor, who are unab bic to pay FOL
treatment. are treated every afternoon by
the senior students free of charge.

SeedIess Grapes.

George B. Snively, a hortfculturist,
of Washington county, Md, has sue
ceeded in producing a seedless grape.
He hopes to finally be able to grow
the new grape to a large size. Several
years ago he began grating various
varieties of grapes with definite END
in view, and this year one vine, which
is well developed, has a number OF
lunches of grapes on it which are
without seeds. The vine also bears
grapes containing seeds, but each year
that the vine has borne fruit the num-
Der Of seedless lunches has steadily
increased, and Mr.. Snively believes
that ultimately the grapes will be all
without seeds. The seedles grapes.
while smaller in size than the ones
containing seeds, are of superior fla
vOr.
