The big Portland cement manufactur
ers are rapidly coming to recognize that
the farmer is becoming most important
consumer of cement. The uses to which
the progressive farmer of today is apply
ing this material are countless. He has
discovered that Portland cement con
crete offers a convenient, economical and
durable substitute for lumber, and that
it is just as easy to utilize in building
1t is not uncommon in these days to see
a farm-yard with clean concrete walks
stables with concrete floors, wells and
cisterps with concrete curbs, troughs oil
concrete, concrete-lined cellars, etc af-
fording in each instance a sanitary
beautiful and indestructible structure
In this connection, it is significant that
the management of the National Cement
Show in the Chicago Coliseum on Dec
II 81 is making special effort to show
the uses to which cement can be put on
the farm and about the home. 1t is the
intention of the Cement Products Elk
hibition Company, which is conducting
this show, to educate the people in the
advantages of concrete construction over
other forms, and with this end in view q
number Of features have been arranged
calculated to instruct the layman in a
practical manner how to mix, lay and
use concrete.

The wilful misrepresentation of Ger
tain remarks recently made by ex-Sen-
ator Spooner has caused the latter to
make public carefully prepared state
ment of his position on public questions
OF recognized Importance, and also of his
personal relations with President Roose-
welt. He said: II don't like to have
everything | say analyZed to discover
some occult meaning, and every time |
express an opinion on public question
/ do not want to he accused of assailing
the President. [ have differed with the
President in many important matters. I
have never hesitated to oppose him when
| thought he was wrong and I have
never hesitated to defend him when I
thought he was right. I did so in the
the Senate and l have acted upon my
privilege as a citizen since left the Sen
ate; but l have never assaulted him in
my life, and whatever | have said upon
public questions since 1 have been in
New York has not been directed at him
as man or as the President. But /
have expressed my opinions with the
same freedom as | did when | was in
public life. | never discovered any diff
ference in my personal relations with
President Roosevelt after [ had express
ed myself as, opposed to any of his.acts
or lines OF policy. There was never any
personal cause of difference, and he has
always conceded to me the right to have
opinions that did not coincide with his
own. However we differed on public
questions, | never noticed any intoler-
ance on his part, and I think he has re-
'spected ne for my candor. l have lots
of good friends with whom don't agree
on many points; but that does not nee
essarily impair our friendship, and /
don't think the President would feel any
less respect or friendliness for me be-
cause of differences of opinion on public
questions He is broad man, and he
knows what I think about certain feat
ures of his policy. And I have not
changed my opinion since came to
New York"

WHEN you call a man a theft, first
make sure he stole something; when you
call him briber, have the proof in a
pigeon hole where you can readily lay
hands on it before court opens. Don't
charge man with crime and then at
tempt to show he suffered no damage
because you convinced the public he
was criminal and can call upon the
public for proof of his criminal reputa-
ton which you, yourself, created. When
Pfster was indicted for larceny, every
body believed him innocent of the
charge. 1t was cold blooded accusa-
ton, one that a more sensitive and less
thoughtful man than Charlie Pfster
might have avenged outside the forum.

Davenport, Dec. 19.-Assistant At
torney General c. w. Lyon of Des
Moines, is in Davenport today, his mis-
sion here being to look over the local
saloon situation.
Mr.. Lyon said he was very Well
pleased with the disposition being
shown by the saloonkeepers to follow
instructions contained in Attorney By
er's letter and that he was also very
we'll pleased with the progress being
made in this direction. Continuing Mr..
Lyon said: II made a trip around the
down town section OF the city last
night and found the saloonkeepers I'M
iversally closed their doors at ~
/ O'Clock. AS long as the saloonkeepers
show a disposition to get under the
mulct law and take steps in this di-
rection, no radical measures will be
used to force them into it. They will
be given a reasonable time to act Of
their own accord. We have set no
+. ~
definite time in which they must act"
Mr.. Lyon futher declared every
saloonkeeper will be required to file
a $4,000 bond with the county auditor.
This may be a personal bond If signed
by two parties but the same parties
can go on but one bond. A surety
bond is also acceptable and is the
more general form. Local agents OF
various bonding companies are now
preparing these bonds. The premium
on the $4,000 bond Is around $40,
ranging according to the risk which
the bonding companies feel they as
sume.
Mr.. Lyons called at the office Of
County Auditor Collins to see what
progress was being made in this di-
rection and was informed by Mr.. Col
Inns that while so far but n saloon-
keeper has filed his bond, numerous
others had made inquiries as to the
mode Of procedure and were now pre-
pairing their bonds.

Syracuse, N. Y, Dec. 15.-Dr. George
e. COutant, former United States Pen
sion Examiner and ex-Medical Society
President, a we'll known physician, has
abandoned his private practice and per-
fected a method of treatment of most
amazing possibilities. Physicians and
scientists have puzzled their brains
and pondered long over n of the re-
markable agencies he employs. Doc
tors in great universities Of France and
Germany have taken up the study Of
this mysterious force. Philosophers
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. have been COM
PEELED to admit that they cannot faith
ON its secrets. You may attribute it to
rehabilitation of nerve force, re-estab-
lishment Of vital magnetic energy,
psychic energy-or what you will
that fact remains that patients in utter
despair have claimed that they have
been restored to health by this Won
derful treatment when all other things
failed. Hopeless invalfds who say they
had been given up as tncurable by their
physicians have been healed of their
affections and rescued from indescrib-
able anguish by the wonderful power OF
the treatment employed by this re-
markable man.
The sick and suffering. the lame and
halt, the consumptive and paralytic, in
valids from almost every known dis
ease, form a remarkable procession
seeking health at the hands of this
great panopathic healer; and this won
derful man, this wizard Of medical SCI
ence%, receives them, treats them all, and
instructs them in the mysterious art Of
maintaining health without drastic
drugs and poisonous medicines, altho
the Doctor does not hesitate to use
certain remedies when necessary in
connection with the radium-like rays
Of energy treatment.
OF one preparation in particular,
which was discovered in France, the
Doctor said: do you see that mys-
terious red fluid extract?" pointing to
a tightly corked glass flagon. THAT"
said the Doctor, contains the appar-
emily simple nerve force compound,
which created such q furore through
out this country, and which attracted
the attention of the most learned
minds Of the civilized world; that
preparation contains ingredients which
are the nearest approach to active 1iv-
ing nerve force-the very vital spark
Of life-which have ever been discov-
cred. I have demonstrated beyond
doubt that the preparation used in con-
nection with Psy-Phy Force, t he mas
ter science of the age, will overcome
certain deep seated diseases, w hich it

Des Moines, Dec. 19.-In the shake
up of the Iowa National guard, Gov
ernor cummins seems determined to
commence at the top, and 1T is re-
ported that he has offered the post
of adjutant general to ]. A. Olmstead,
U. S. A., retired, now on duty with
the guard as the representative OF tne
national government. 1t is understood,
however, that Olmstead has refused
to consider 1t. General Alexander,
who was %adjutant general for years
before he went into the regular serv-
ice, is also spoken of. Should he take
it he would drop from full pay which
he now receives, to three quarter pay
as a retired officer, which makes a
difference Of $500 a year. 1t is also
reported that Governor Cummins con-
sidered the question OF making colonel
James r. Lincoln of Ames adjutant
general, but that he was advised that
the G. A. r. would not like it. as Lin
coin was a confederate soldier. Lin
coin would probably decline the post
If offered, as he did when Shaw Of
fered it to him years ago.
Whether or not there is any truth
In the rumor that Alexander is being
considered is not known. but lie is a
popular officer, familiar with lowe
and Iowa people. and his appointment
would without doubt please the guard
n heal the ruptures and rows with
which the state service is now SUI
fering.
National guard officers may ask the
next legislature to SO amend the mill
itary code that Iowa will have a gen.
eral staff corps, similar to the general
staff Of the regular army.
This move has been favored for
some time and Colonel James r. Lin
coin Of Ames is said to be in favor
of it. The general staff Of the army
has the general management Of the
army and advises the secretary OF
war. This makes the adjutant general
simply a clerk. If the bill was put
thru the legislature the general staff
as formed would be the adviser OF the
governor and would make plans which
the adjutant general would have to
carry out. This it is thought, would
put an end to the rows and conten-
lions in the guard.
