LEAVES AS FERTILIZERS.
Agricultural Method PraCiiced With
SUccess in France.


The Nantes market gardeners, the
most expert commercial cultivatOrs il:
France, owe their success primarily to
the use of leaves of trees as n fertilizer
according to a correspondent Of the
London Globe. The leaves that fall
from the trees in the district are care
fully collected each autumn. They are
put into heaps with loam and are left
to decay. The result is a compost far
more valuable than can be provided
Dy the aid OF loam and manure.
Freshly gathered leaves from trees are
also used as a mulch to protect crops
from frost during the winter months,
With excellent results. They are also
dried and used freely for bedding ma
terial for horses and cows. The man
are thus obtained is far more valuable
han that furnished by the aid of
. straw. In English agricultural circles
straw is considered to be Of greater
fertiliZing value than leaves. This is
an error. Scientific investigation has
disclosed the fact that decayed leaves
are Of greater fertilzing value than
even manure. In pear leaves the con-
tents of nitrogen was 1.S6 per cent; in
oak leaves, 1.1S per cent; in poplar,
075 per cent: beech. 0.7S per cent:
elm 0.73 per cent. and in the vine. O.35
GER cent comparison with leaves
and manure in respect to their fertiliz-
ing properties disclosed the following
facts: A pounds of pear leaves, 50
pounds of poplar, 81 pounds of peach,
3 pounds of elm and Ia pounds of
vine, respectively, are equal in nitro
gen 10 100 pounds of manure. a valu'
able table might be compiled showing
.he fertilizing value of the leaves of all
OF the various English trees. 1t Is

LOST IN THE WOODS.
A Small Boy and his Dog Wanders
Around in the Forest for
Four Long Days.


Chisholm, Minn.-After having been
lost in the big woods for four days
John Nihalfsky, ten-year-old boy
has been restored to his parents He
was found by woman living near the
Kinney mines, three and a half miles
northeast of Bull and nine miles from
Chisholm. A posse of fifty men had
been securing the country for three
days but they had discovered no trace
of the missing lad and all hope of find
ing him alive had been abandoned.
When discovered the boy was gnaw-
ing a crust of bread which he had
found and was in a terrible state as a
result of hunger and exhaustion. The
boys clothing was torn to tatters by
the briers and brambles and his bare
legs were scratched and bleeding. He
was desperately hunger and about to
fall from exhaustion and loss of sleep.
Mosquitoes had harrassed him SO con-
tinuously day and night he got but
little rest, and his hands, face and legs
were blistered and poisoned from the
bites of the ravenous insects. He met
no wild beasts in his wanderings but
during the nights he often heard the
bowling of the timber wolves.

abe Pleasant Every Morning Urtil
Ten O'Clock; the Rest Of the Day.
Will Take Care of ITSELF"

"Be Pleasant Every Morning Until
Ten O'clock; the Rest Of the Day
Will Take Care of ITSELF"
This is one of the best little SER
mons we know. Have you ever
stopped to think that the morning
is the time when your temper is usu'
ally ruffied, and have you ever
stopped to think that the cause Of
bad temper in the morninS is nearly
always because your stomach has not
been working properly during the
night? 1t has contained a lot of indi-
gestible substances that form gas
and makes you have dreams. 1t
breaks up your rest and you wake up
in the morning tired, instead of re-
freshed, as nature intended you
should.
Our grand sires required no ad-
monition to BE pleasant every morn
ing until 10 o'clock; the rest Of the
day will take care OF ITSELF" for they
digested their food and woke up fun
OF life and energy ready for the days
duties, and this was because they
lived on simple foods instead of high
~ seasoned palatable copcoctions,
which contain no nourishment. Ma
ture gave us milk, wheat and eggs,
and on these foods a person can
live indefinitely, but If the milk is
skinned, and IL the outside Of the
wheat is taken off the kernel, and If
the lime, the salt, and the iron, which
is in the outer part of the wheat
berry, II these are all removed, you
have simply starch alone; the starch
goes into the stomach and becomes
sugar.
Do you know that a person would
starve to death on plain white bread
and water? Do you know that he
could live indefinitely on whole wheat
bread or on whole wheat food ana
water? These interesting facts are
all set forth in a book called Back
to Nature" which tells about proper
living and gives recipes for meals of
the simple kind-the kind that makes
you strong and well; the kind that
makes you pleasant every morning
until 10 o'clock" This book is pub
lished at great expense, but it is
given free to every reader of this
paper. 1t is an advertisement OF
'EGG-O-SEE," the great food-whlch
is made from whole wheat, which is
baked and predigested and is all
ready to serve from the package you
buy at your grocers. You get more
life and energy from 10-cent pack
age of EGG-O-SEE than you will get
from a thousand dollars worth of
white bread. This is no idle claim.
1t is a scientific fact. We want to
tell about this simple food question,

every respect wholesome and fit Tor
food.
President Roosevelt notified Chair
man WadsWorth Of the house agr1cul-
tural committee that the substitute 10
the Beveridge amendment was total
ly inadequate in it's entirety" He as
serted that while he might approve
the agricultural appropriation Dill ne
would attach to it a memorandum de-
claring the meat inspection provision
to be insufficient. Such action would
continue the present agitation and GER
tainly would not tend to restore conf
dence in the products of the packing
houses.
The president in a letter to Chair
man Wadsworth said almost every
change in the house meat inspection
amendment was for the worse as COM
pared with the senate amendment, ard
in his judgment, so framed as to mini
mize the chances Of roofing out the
evils in the packing business.
Regarding the meat inspection legis-
lation, Speaker Cannon gives it as his
opinion that safe and sane legislation
will be enacted and that, notwithstan0-
ing differences on the matter of judi
cial review, everybody's constitutional
rights will be protected.

A box of caps it is believed became

go, some of the rockets joined in the

dies got busy.

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
II had used coffee for years and
really did noe exactly believe it was
injuring me although l had palpita-
ton of the heart every day.
Finally one day severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and gave up both
tea and coffee, using Postum instead
and since that time / have had alb
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when l tried
a small quantity of coffee Which
caused severe irritation and proved
to me I must let it alone.
when we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to direc-
tions-but now we put little bit Of
butter in the pot when boiling and
allow the Postum to boil full Is min
utes which gives it the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
II have advised a great many OF
my friends and patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum, in fact
daily give this advice" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to
patients. There's a reason"

Refuse to Ask designations.

Fond du Lac.-The county board of
supervisors of Fond du Lac has re-
fused absolutely to comply with the
recommendations of the grand jury in
demanding the designations of M. The
len and H. B. landau as trustees of
the county insane asylum and poor
farm. The district attorney was called
before the board to tell what the
charges against the two trustees are,
but he said that he could divulge none
OF the testimony that was given be-
fore the grand jury. The supervisors
feel that the trustees should know
what they are charged with in order
that they could offer some defense, and
in view of the fact that no specific
charge was made by the grand jurors
they refused to ask them to resign.
