1t Is the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the
time, else the system suffers. They are
times when they need a little assistance.
Peruna is exactly the sort of a rem
edy. 1t has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys SER

otherwise savings banks could not so

investments and would not be able to

At time when there is more or less
of a disposition to take a pessimistic
view of certain financial features it is
well to recall the admirable showing
made by savings banks as a whole.
These are the custodians of the money
of the Industrious workers who save

the fact that deposits have increased

such savings are wisely handled.

Courage.
H. S. GIvLER. Pull


One of the most unhappy, but at the
same time impressive, sights ever
witnessed at the headquarters of the
New York police department took
place there recently, when patrol
man was discharged from the service
because of cowardice. In the pres
ence of his brother officers his badge
was unpinned from his breast and the
buttons cut from his uniform. No
such thing had happened before for
more than 80 years. 1t is curious
trait in human nature that physical
courage, the virtue which is most
cherished and most extolled, should
be at the same time perhaps the COM
monest. The great popularity of the
soldier and the military hero Is due
almost entirely to the fact that origin.
was obliged to exercise physical cour-
age. It is not improbable that the
1essening tendency to make heroes of
soldiers merely because they are sol
diers is due to a growing perception
that many other occupations call for
and produce men who do quite as
daring deeds in circumstances far less
favorable to gallantry. 1t would be
an exceedingly interesting thing if
one could trace the influence of news
papers and other periodicals on the
prevalence of physical courage. There
can be no doubt, says Youths Com
panion. that the influence is consider
able. Nothing is seized more eagerly
by the reporters than stories of hero
ism" and not much is read with great
er interest by the people In days,
then. when every man is a hero who
stops runaway horse or pulls little
boy out of a brook, it must be that
the popular Imagination is very con-
siderably stimulated and the mind
stirred to emulation by the newspaper
reports.

Latest Kansas Events.
To Buy Wheat Straw.

Instead of burning their wheat
straw this fall as usual many Kansas
farmers win have chance to sell 1t
at good profit. The Empire Paper
company of Philadelphia has written
to Secretary Coburn, asking about the
wheat straw situation In Kansas. This
company depends entirely upon wheat
straw for its paper supply and owing
to the wheat failure in the East this
year, will be put to the necessity of
closing down unless it can get the
straw in Kansas. There is plenty of
wheat straw In this state this fall,
but the company will have to hurry
if it gets it. Farmers are already
setting fire to big stacks in the CEN
trail and western parts of the state.
The company does not say what price
it will pay, but it would undoubtedly
be more profitable for the farmer to
sell his straw than to burn it.

1t is the favorite drive for carriages

to make trip over the road with a

the road being, like others, cut up In

usual form of road working it has a
smooth surface and is very attractive.

AqricuIture In Schools.

the following statement: "Agricul-

reasonable matter that now every
body says: 1t should have been in
the schools for years, and a surpris-
ingiy large number also say,1 have
always said it ought to be in the
course of study Anyway. the idea
seems to have taken hold of the
public mind and agriculture promises
to be one of the regular subjects in all
Kansas schools. And now there is
danger of two or three mistakes.
Some say that it Is proper for the rural
schools but not necessary for the town
schools. Why is this not true OF
botany, geology and zoology then?
Agriculture is more than method of
blowing and planting. 1t is the most
important science in relation to Ameri-
can economics. The prosperity of the
country is measured by the prosperity
of the farm. Town boys and girls
need to know the principles of agricul
ture as the foundation study

Alfalfa Crop as Valuable as Land.
Henry ImMasche, Chase county
farmer living near Saffordville, has
just cleaned up the neat little sum of
nearly $1,000 from the seed threshed
from a 35-acre alfalfa field Mr.. Inn
Masche had 35- acres of alfalfa, from
which he cut one good hay crop and
saved the second crop for seed This
he threshed a short time ago and
obtained 149 bushels of seed, which
sold for IS per bushei, making $1.192.
Now the field is producing another
crop of hay, which is almost ready to
cut and after that it will make good
pasture for stock. The unusual part
of it is, that this crop was not raised
on $50 or SIS bottom land, but on up
land which is selling every day in
Chase. county at $25 to $35 per acre.
