Professor V,n Behring's New York
agents, G. Bischoff & Co., give the
cheering information that the new con-
sumption cure may be on the market
next August. Won Behring's vaccine for
COWS, for which he received the Nobel
prize of $4,000 in 1901, has since been
used successfully on $4,000 head of
cattle in Europe, but it is only within
the last six months that it has been en-
ployed in the United States. His two
remedies, he hopes, will work together
to rid the world of tuberculosis. The
main source of it's development in hui
man beings, he says, is the milk con-
sumed by infants. The bovine vaccine
will be used to render the milk harmless
by preventing tuberculosis in the cow
while the powder procured from the
milk OF an Immune COW will be used tC
prevent and cure the disease in human
beings. In hundreds of thousands OF
threatened homes will this information
impart at least ray of hope.

CAN'T BE SEPARATED.
Some Leon People Have Learned
How to Get Rid of Both.

Backache and kidney ache are twin
brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the backache
until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are we'll and strong,
the rest of the system is pretty sure
to be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys.
Mrs. W. Cox, wife of w. f. Cox, farm
er, living three miles north of Leon
says; 81 fell and strained my back
years ago and to this attribute the at
tacks of aching which followed. Not
only were they evident in my back but
they extended clear to my shoulder
and around the side. When in the
acute stage | could not stoo2 or even
lift pound and after any awkward or
sudden movement was always reward
ed with a sharp excruciating pain which
resisted all my effort. | use porous
plasters and other makeshifts but the
benefits received were very transitory
heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and
went to Van Werden's drug store for q
box. The use Of three boxes positively
proved to me that the remedy can be
depended upon. l honestly believe
that Doan's Kidney Pills as medicine
for the kidney is unexcelled.'

LEGALITY is QUESTIONED.
Divorce Court Change of Name an
Unauthorized Custom, Says
Judqe Green,

The question of whether woman SUI
ing for divorce may legally have her
maiden name restored without separate
proceedings has again been raised in
the case Of Christaina B. Fritz, who last
year secured decree of separation
from her husband, Ordum Fritz, says
the NonpareiI. The order of court con
tains paragraph giving back to the
plaintiff her maiden name, Henrickson.
This was one of the things prayed for in
her petition.
Judge Green, who granted the divorce,
stated that this method of changing
woman's name was of doubtful legality
He said that the custom of district
jurists is to include the restoration of
the maiden name where it is asked for,
but that the plaintiff would have to
take her chances on making it stick.
Lawyers ask for the change of name
merely to please their woman clients,
but many of them concede that it has
no effect whatever. The statutes pro-
vide only one way to have ones name
modified, and the process is the same
for women as for men. 1t is entirely
distinct from divorce proceedings.
1t seldom makes any real difference
whether or not woman's name is
changed by the court, as she goes I'M
der what name she pleases to assume
after getting divorce. If she is called
upon to sign deed for real estate,
however, the matter of her legal name
becomes important.
John j. Brown, was elected city solic-
itor of the city of Alliance, Ohio, at the
election held in that state last week by
the snug majority of 5S5, which consid-
ering the fact that the democrats
carried the state and Mr.. Brown was
running on the republican ticket, makes
his election the more significant. Mr.
Brown was at one time resident OF
Leon, being a brother of Mrs. J. A. Cas-
ter. He attended the law department
of the Iowa State University at Iowa
City and after graduating returned tc
his former home in Ohio and engaged il
the practice of law, meeting with splen
did success of which his many friend.
here are pleased to hear.

A feeding expert has figured amounts
of corn it takes to produce various
amounts of pork, under normal condi-
tlon. One bushel of corn will produce
10 is pound of pork, from which you
can easily determine whether it is
better to sell corn or pork. Careful
experiments have shown the following
facts in regard to feeding corn to make
pork: Fifty pounds of corn fed
ground, and raw makes Is pounds Of
pork: Fifty pounds Of corn, fed whole
and raw makes 10 pounds of pork.
Fifty pounds of corn fed ground and
fermented, makes II pounds of pork.
Fifty pounds of corn fed cooked and
fermented makes 20 pounds Of pork.

more religions than any other country
