FRANCES WILLARD's LIFE WORK.
All Her Efforts Tended In Direction Of
Human Justice.

The statue of Frances f. Willard,
which Illinois has placed in statuary
hall at Washington, has been unveiled.
Miss Willard will stand there in mar
BILE, the only woman among a multi
tude of soldiers and statesmen. The
women of the state petitioned the leg
islature years ago to recognize her as
historical character deserving
place in statuary hall and it consented.
Miss Willard displayed her greatest
powers in the work of organizing wom-
en- and men for the accomplishment OF
moral purposes. She was reformer
Of almost every imaginable kind. The
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
was devoted primarily to the extinc-
ton of the liquor traffic But 1t went
far beyond the limits of this original
intention. Miss Wizards mind was
as broad as the needs Of misery. I'M
der her leadership the Womans Chris
tian Temperance Union had innumer-
able departments which illustrated the
variety of Miss Wizards interests.
There was a health and heredity de-
partment. There was a physical cul'
ture department. There were school
savings bank, police station, Sabbath
observance and purity departments.
There was a department for the es-
Establishment OF international peace and
one for the establishment of female
suffrage. Yet Miss Willard could
hardly be called a philosopher in the
sense in which Margaret Fuller or
George Eliot was a philosopher. She
called herself, to be sure, a Christian
socialist. and her opinions on the labor
and capital controversy are still large
ly and prominently quoted in socialist
newspapers and magazines. But even
in her Christian socialism she ex-
pressed merely the longings OF her
soul for human justice or what seemed
to her human justice. She had moth
ing that could be called a philosophy
in economics any more than In poll
tics. She was the Christian conscience
of the America of the last part OF the
nineteenth century operating through
genius for organization toward the
accomplishment of certain specific re-
forms. In that capacity she was dis
tinctive type in American life.-Chi'
eago Tribune.

Iron Bacteria.

A well-known scientist says: Iron
compounds in the soil are also

ganisms, certain bacteria making use
of these compounds as sources Of en-
ergy just as another group makes use
of the sulphur compounds. The iron
is found originally in the soil, and is
also formed in the destruction of or
ganic matter, the liberated iron COM
bining with carbon dioxide gas pres
ent to form carbonates. The carbo-
mates are oxidized by the bacteria,
forming iron hydroxide, which Is an
active chemical agLnt, and readily
unites with phosphorus or silica which
may be in the soil, to form phosphates
or sllicates Of iron. These salts are
important soil ingredients and con.

Anent That Tired Feeling.

Should the development of the
study Of toxins and anti-toxins render
possible the production of an anti-body
capable Of neutralizing the results of
muscular fatigue, the consequences
could hardly be predicted. Yet Ger
man investigator seriously claims to
have taken more than one step in this
direction already, and publishes re-
suits that are at least surprising.
An authority says he has obtained a
stable anti-toxin, which when taken by
the mouth in moderate doses, permits
the output Of an increased amount OF
muscular energy without fatigue, and
when taken continuously causes a
sense of general bien etre and aug
ments the capacity for work. He COM
mends his preparation to clinicians
as promising analeptio for GONZALES
cents, Inconsistencies, etc. This ia
tigue antitoxin is obtained from horses
by injecting them with fatigue toxin
produced in the muscles OF animals
that have been subjected to extreme
muscular exhaustion.

The Plum curcuIio and the Apple.

The Plum curcuIlo and the Apple.
Prof. s. A. Forbes, in recent adj
dress, said:
In 1889 | showed by experiment with
curculios taken April IA on their first
emergence from their winter quarters
that they fed at that early season
sometimes on dead fallen leaves, on
green leaves and fresh blossoms OF
the peach, and on the blossoms OF
roses, honeysuckle and SNOWFALL. They
evidently ate dead leaves only when
| living vegetation could not be found
as when confined with both they chose
only the latter. Poison experiments
were made on these beetles in confine-
ment by spraying both leaves and
fruit with Paris green, with the result
that single treatment of their food
killed, within eight days, all but one
beetle of eight lots of specimens pois
oned.
In 1892 Professor John B. Smith
published in the Bulletin Of the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton the statement that the curculio
could be controlled only by poisoning
the adult beetle, spraying first before
the trees come into bloom, and at least
three times afterward, as for the
codling moth.
In 1901, my attention having been
particularly called to the Importance
of preventing small surface injuries
to the apple, which lowered it's market
grade and diminished its price, sent
an assistant, Mr.. E. S. G. Titus,
through southern Illinois in June and
| July to observe and collect examples
of these injuries, and such insects as
might be held responsible for them.
Quantities of blemished fruit were
sent to the office for careful study,
and as a means of rearing any insects
which it might contain.
From this investigation it appeared
that much the greater part of the in
jury complained of was due to the
plum-curculio, and that the control OF
this insect would virtually protect the
apple.
Pursuing the subject further, in
1902 an article prepared by Mr.. Titus
was read by me at your meeting for
that year on insects, Other Than
the Cooling Moth, Injurious to the
Fruit of tie Apple" The greater part
Of this paper was given to the work
of the plum-curculio in the apple or
chard. In addition to many close and
careful observations, an important
point was made in this paper that in
jury to the fruit was least in we'll
cultivated orchards, and the sugges'
| ton was made that orchard cultivation
al time when the bulk of the cur
culios are in the ground passing
through their transformations might
have the effect to diminish their num-
Der by killing them in the pupa state
For this purpose, it was said, mid
summer blowing would be necessary
following by narrowing to break VI
the clods and expose the pupae more
thoroughly to the weather. The prompt
destruction Of the fallen fruit and
spraying of the trees with Paris green
were also prominently mentioned.

WILL SOON HAVE 100000.
Vast Amount Within Reach of John
D. Rockefeller.

A Wall street banker, who is said
to be the head of one of the largest
financial institutions of New York, is
credited with the statement that the
fortune of John d Rockefeller will in
few years amount to $1,000,000, 900.
There are many estimates current Of
Mr.. Rockefellers wealth, estimates
ranging all the way from $500, 100000
to $600,000,000, but the Wall street
authority adds that all estimates of
the Rockefeller fortune have been too
low. Years ago Mr.. Gladstone was
one of the guests at dinner in Eng
land where the Oldest member of the
Vanderbilt family was also present.
Somebody whispered to the English
premier that the rich American had
$100000,000, and Mr.. Gladstone COM
mented, after looking curiously at Mr..
Vanderbilt; Then | should say that
he constitutes a peril to the American
republic"

What it Costs to Grow Corn,

Farm renters who pay 81 per acre
for poor land on which to raise corn
and come out in the hoe every year
may read the following and see what
it costs them to grow their crops.
An old corn grower says that when
a crop Of sixty bushels to the acre is
secured the corn costs IL cents a
bushel to produce for so bushels it
is Is cents, for 40 bushels it is Is
cents, for 80 bushels It is % cents and
for 30 bushels it is 80 cents. These
figures" says the Albany Ledger, ARE
not far out of the way, and it is thus
easy to know when you are selling
corn any below the costs of produc-
ton"

The Importance that Attaches to the Care

Every sensible woman naturally wishes

of bright eyes, delicate complexion and

good health is at the basis Of her charms,
and that good blood is the source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has complexion

her. Asked if she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said
"My complexion would not have
