no work of accident, but lies (if
one so dare express himself) in the
intention of the plant. For, when
Prof. Meyer cut off some of the sup
ports, some of the bottommost leaves
at once sank down and formed a
new support. In the highest degree
worthy of note was it, that for this
were used only the leaves to be
outward-thus only those that were
alone available for effective sup
port. All these facts doubtless
rest upon the form-feeling, upon
stimulation from the abnormal
position of the individual that had
as result the movements of the
leaves remedying the evil.
An explanation of form-feeling
we cannot at present, it must be
admitted, give. We can only help
ourselves by saying that this capac-
ity is one of the universal proper
ties of animate matter. One, how
ever, feels in so doing that this
kind of explanation is really mere
ly paraphrase of the facts, and
does better, indeed, quietly to con-
fess that we again here stand be-
fore riddle of life. Only of this
there can be no doubt: We must
ascribe to the plants richly-devel-
oped sense-life. They possess all
the beginnings of perception, and
perhaps even of finding their
bearings in the universe. The
same life throbs in them, though
less developed than in ourselves
and it is, indeed, more than a
mere poetic smile, when our
greatest poet speaks of our brothers
in forest and plain and field. =

"Make Hay While the Sun Shines.

There is a lesson in the work of
the thrifty farmer. He knows that
the bright sunshine may last but a
day and he prepares for the showers
which are so liable to follow. So it
should be with every household.

ranges from 20 to 90 per cent. In
other words, four-ton crop of hay
gathered represents five tons cut,
even under the most favorable con-
ditions, not counting the stubble.
This ton lost is composed of leaves
and the fine stems, the parts richer
than the average sample of hay in
nitrogen and ash constituents and
representing a total of III pounds
of liant food. This, owing to our
practice of irrigating after each
cutting, especially after the first
and second crops, is almost wholly
incorporated into the soil, for the
moisture will facilitate its decay
and the strong stubble will prevent
it from being washed away to any
considerable extent. The stubble
proper is not considered in this
statement, on account of which we
are justified in increasing this
amount to $50 pounds, which alone
is as large an amount of plant food
as is required to raise a 5O-bushel
crop of wheat. AS one-half of the
nitrogen added probably came from
the air and the remaining substance
es from the deeper soil beyond the
reach of wheat plants, the amount
of plant food added is practically a
clear gain. Denver Field and

THESE SOUL CULTS,
VICE, NOT PURITY

Women who are fascinated by
the cult of sexless brotherhood, DOM
mated by ''soul communion, in
which ''sex consciousness shall
never intrude, and where men and
women shall only think of them
selves as spiritual entities and,
therefore, there need be no vulgar
reserve between individuals, on ac-
count of their opposite physical sex
LOOK OUT. Your attention is
earnestly invited to the significant
fact that men and women who be-
gin talking and advocating this cult
usually wind up as out-and-out
''frce lovers, - that is to say, per-
sons who do not believe in marri-
age and hold that sex instinct
should be gratified without any
restrictions.
Let's repeat this proposition. 1t
is that whenever a man or woman
begins railing at ''sex conscious
ness and deploring the sad condi-
tion that men can't associate with
women without the intrusion of
the sex element, and appealing for
"unreserved soul communion, it
means that they develop into ''free
lovers. - Observe further, that this
cult of sex effacement is the regu-
lar staple talk of the free lovers, -
and notice finally, that these peo-
pie, who talk constantly about the
evil of ''sex consciousness, and
who wants to efface it, and equal
ize the sexes on a sexless basis of
soul, which has no sex, are the
very persons who have sex mania
and can't keep it out of their minds.
/ Show me the man who talks
about sex effacement all the time
who makes a cult of it-and I'll
show you a man whose every mo-
ment is possessed with eroticism,
as by devils, and who, in truth, is
diseased with carnality and lasciv-
iousness. And the women who
dream that they are blessed with
the radiance of a teacher who is g
Shining Being, rather than mere
man, really are getting mixed ur
with the worst type of libcrtine.
This cult of the scxlessncss of the
soul is nothing but sly, hypo-
critical sex mania.
Nothing breeds croticism as this
cult breeds it. The men who preach
it are lazy and neither exert their
minds nor their bodies. Idlcness is
the veriest hot bed of erotic pcrver-
sion. The cause of much of the
outre scandal of the day is thai
more and more women are support
ed in pampcrcd idleness by hus,
bands to whom they'll be faithles:
because of the very pampering. The
husband works hard and is busy
and occupied and his carnality is
kept at the lowest ebb. The wife
does nothing and is afflicted will
eroticism. That's the story of 81
per cent of the scandals and di
vorces.
And whenever you find a mar
who does nothing but try to preach
or teach these soul cults, you'll fine
a man too lazy to work and who's,
mind dwells on things a normal
healthy, busy man is freed from b,
his activity. Instead oil purity

Mrs. W. L. Towle has leased her
ranch on the Little Laramie to Jake
Farr for 4 term of five years.
It is reported here that several of the
ranchmen down the valley and on the
Little Laramie have been losing con.
siderable young stock lately from black.
Ileg. Jake Farr and ]. NJ. May are said
to be the heaviest losers, though the
disease is spreading to the herds of va
rious other ranchmen.
E. B. Steadman has purchased from

A NEW DEPARTURE.
Taking Time by The Forelock.'

All observing people must have
noticed a growing sentiment in this
country in favor OF using only put-up
foods and medicines of known com
position. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest in the COM
position of that which he is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink
or medicine. This sentiment has re-
suited in the Introduction in the legis-
latures of many of the States, as also
III the Congress OF the United States,
bills providing for the publication of
formula or ingredients on wrappers
and labels of medicines and foods put
up for general consumption.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public generally,
and satisfied that the fullest publicity
a only add to the ~well-earned repu-
tation of his proprietary medicines,
DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
has "taken time by the forelock," as it
were, and is publishing broadcast, and
on each bottle wrapper, a full and com
plete list of all the ingredients entering
Discovery" the popular liver invigor-
heart regulator; also of his uFavorite
Prescription" for weak, over-worked,
~broken-down, debilitated, nervous, in
valid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement
on the part of DR.. Pierce, has, by
showing exactly what his w%ell-known
medicines are composed of, completely
disarmed all harping critics who have
heretofore u~njustly attacked them. A
little pamphlet has been compiled,
from the standard medical authorities
OF all the several schools of practice,
showing the strongest endorsements by
leading medical writers of the several
ingredients which enter into Doctor
Pierce's medicines and recommending
these ingredients for the cure of the
diseases for which DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines are advised. A copy of this little
booklet is mailed free to any n desiring
to learn more concerning the valuable,
native, medicinal plants which enter
into the composition of DR.. Pierce's
medicines. A request, by postal card
or letter, addressed to DR.. K. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y, will bring this little
booklet by return post. 1t tells exactly
what ingredients are used in the max
ing OF DR.. Pierce's famous medicines.
This striking departure OF DR.. Pierce
from the usual curse pursued by the
manufacturers OF proprietary medi-
cines, at once takes his medicines out
OF the class generally known as
"patent" or secret medicines, neither
of which term is S all applicable to
them, as their formula now appears
on the wrapper of every bottle leaving
the great laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y.
1t places them in a class all bv them
%SelUes. Neither of them contains any
alcohol, which fact alone should cause
them to be classed all by themselves
and as entirely harmless vegetable ex-
tracts, made and preserved by the use
OF glycerine and not with the usually
employed strong alcohol, which works
SO much injury, especially in cases
where treatment, eve though of the
best, must be continued for consider
able periods OF time, in order to make
the cure permanent.
Many years ago, Or. Pierce found
that chemically pure glycerine, OF
proper strength, was far better than
, 1906-02-21

alcohol both for extracting and pre-
serving the medicinal principles residing
IN OF indigenous, or native, medicinal
plants, such as he employs exclusively
in manufacturing his medicines.
Some OF these medicinal roots have,
since DR.. Pierce first commenced to use
them, advanced SO in price, that they
may be cultivated with great profit by
our farmers. This is especially true of
Golden Seal root, which enters into
| both the Doctors Golden Medical
Discovery" and his uFavorite Prescrip-
ton" 1t now brings upward OF $1.50
a pound, although formerly selling at
from 10 to 20 cents a pound. Many
tons of this most valuable root are
annually consumed in Doctor Pierce's
Laboratory.
From "0rganic Medicines" by Grover
Coe, NJ. D., of New York, we extract
the following concerning Hydrastis
Golden Seal root which enters largely,
as we have already stated, into the com
position of both "Golden Medical Dis
covery" and "Favorite Prescription"
DR.. Coe says: wHydrastis exercises an
especial influence over mucous sur
faces. Its action in this respect is SO
manifest that the indications for its en-
ployment cannot be mistaken. Hence
the efficiency of wGolden Medical Dis
covery," which is rich in Golden Seal
root, in all catarrhal affections, no mat
ter in what part of the system located
Upon the liver it acts with equal GER
tainty and efficacy. AS a cholagogue
Oliver invigorator), it has few equals.
Also in sc%rofula, glandular diseases
generally, cutaneous eruptions, indi-
g%estion, debility, diarrhna, and con-
stipation."
Doctor Coe continues: "Hydrastis
Golden Seal root, has been success
fully employed in the cure of leucor-
rhaa. 1t is of singular efficacy when that
complaint is complicated with hepatic
(liver) alteration (derangement). Hy-
drastis is also of inestimable value in
the treatment of chronic arrangements
of the liver. 1t seems to exercise an
especial influence over the portal vein
and hepatic tliver) structure generally,
resolving (dissolving) hillary deposits,
removing distractions, promoting Sc
erection, I'M giving tone to the various
functions. 1t is eminently cholagogue
oliver accelorator), and may be relied
upon with confidence for the relief of
hepatic (liver) torpor. 1t promotes di-
gestion and assimilation, obviates con-
stipation, and gives tone to the depu-
rating %(cleansing) functions generality
DR.. Coe further says: I'VE would
here add that our experience has de-
monstrated Hydrastis to be a valu-
able remedy in bronchitis, ~laryngitis,
and other affections of the respiratory
organs"
After reading the foregoing extracts
who can doubt the great efficacy, in a
long list OF diseases, of "Golden Med
zeal Discovery" one of the principal
ingredients of which is Golden Seal
root (Hydrastis)? And this applies
with equal, force to Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription for weak, worm
out, over worked, nervous, invalid

PRACTICAL WORK.

The people of the west enjoy seeing
a man do things. Theory is all right
and much comes of it, but it is in prac.
tice that the pioneer shines. This fact
was exemplifed in the most striking
manner by Hon. James NJ. Wilson and
Secretary Walker upon their recent
trip to Kansas City. Not many months
ago the commission men at Missouri
river points conceived the idea hat the
fockmasters of the west were making

miss a couple of dollars more per car

1t on, making the charge twelve dollars

In the United States, but not by the

tobacco, though not a little is used in
various medicines. What we see in

some suppose, but a root of a very
pretty and dainty plant with green

large and full of juice when green, but
they shrivel up as we know them,
when they are dried for market.
There are great licorice plantations in
the countries where it is raised, and it
is a source of much revenue to the
cultivators. Some effort has been
made to raise 1t in the south of Eng.

AS l have been here very neal two
years and l think perhaps a few lines
from this part of the country would be
interesting to some of my old friends.
This is the land of sunshine, fruit and
flowers. We are living about one-half
a mile from the ocean, and one of the
finest summer resorts in California,
where bathing, boating, fishing and 9th.
er sports are one continual round of
amusement from May until October.
1t does seem strange to live here and
have just summer all the time-no
wind or thunder and lightning, and the
thermometer seldom varies twenty de-
grees no time of the year. The nights
are cool and pleasant.
l would not advise anyone to come
here for work, but If anyone has a few
thousand dollars to live on, it surely
is a fine place to live in. It is a per.
feet paradise for old folks. Girls get
good wages here, $40 to $25 per month,
with work the year around.

folks here and in Santa Cruz, which is
only four miles from here, a town of
about 10000 inhabitants, with all the

USE FOR INCLINED ELEVATORS,
English Port Has Four Labor Savers
in Operation.

English Port Has Four Labor Savers
in Operation.
The latest application of the inclined
elevator, more commonly known as
the moving stairway. is found IN a
freight elevator for carrying trunks,
mail bags and boxes between steam
ers and wharves. This elevator, which
is practically a gangplank and can be
shifted about, contains within itself
the entire apparatus, including the
electric motor.
Its floor, instead of being composed
of planks, is a movable platform.
There are only four such elevators
now in use in the world, and these are
all at Dover, England. Steamship
men at this port are considering it's
use here.
Another use of the inclined elevator
ss in stores, from basement to side
walk. On it men with hand trucks
and with rolling boxes or baskets are
carried, as well as merchandise.
Another novel use for the inclined
elevator has been found in England, at
seaside resorts on its southern coast.
Here, in many places, the beach runs
from high bluffs, from which visitors
must descend by stairs to reach the
shore. At a number of these places
inclined elevators have been installed.
