The New Way

Do you know that you can be protected
from smallpox by internal vaccination
to the same extent that you are protect
ed by having a matter from the fostering
sore Of a peck inocculated into your
blood whereby you run the risk of have
ing your organism contaminated with
some loathsome disease, cancer, scrofula,
etc? By internal vaccination is meant
the medicine which, when taken inter-
nally, has the power to protect your
organism in the same way as does vacci-
nation. You can get the medicine from
any Homeopathic doctor. you do not
wish to be injured by strong medicines
and protect your children, employ
homeopathic physicians.

Please take notice: Kiowa's small
pox did not cause that city to close its
schools and suspend business. They
have minstrel show this week, a St.
Valentine ball, and business is going
along the same as usual. viii this
example cause the alarmists in Medicine
Lodge to tumble to the fad that it doesn't
pay to make mountains out Of mole hills
and friRhten trade away so that other
towns may profit from our folHa There
wasn't day since the few smallpox
cases started In this city that it wasn't
just as safe for people to come here to
do business as it was to go to Kiowa,
Sharon. Lake City. Hazelton or any
other place. but the false reports sent out
from here had the seemingly desired
effect. We shall now see whether these
same people who talked so loud and so
ong to get up scare" will exercise the
same energy to restore public confidence

Business has picked up considerably
the past week but it is sill very noiceably
dull on account Of the exaggerated and
unnecessary advertisement given to the
few smallpox cases In and near the city.
1t is hoped that the uneasiness that the
people IN the country have on account
Of this little sickness vii speedily wear
of. 1t was especially unfortunate for our
merchants that cool heads did not pre-
vail this year as they did some FIVE OF
SIX years ago when the severity of the
disease was quadrupled. But now that
it is all over let US hope that the same
people who spread the bogus reports
will be jua as eager to build up public
confidence again.

County Assessor Bailey and Deputy
|. w. Stout have about completed their
report called for by the Tax Commission
and will probably forward it to Topeka
this week. The report discloses a very
wide range Of assessments compared with
actual cash sales during the past FIVE
years. In Aetna township. for instance,
the appraised value was 80 per cent Of
the cash value while in others it was as
low as | 3 per cent The highest indi-
vidual assessment IN the county was 1877
per cent Of the cash value based on ac-
tual sale, while the Lowest assessment was
5 per cent, based on a cash sale-that is
to say the land actually sold for 95 per
cent more than the assessed value. while
IN the other case the land was sold for
81 per cent less than the amount stipu-
lated IN the sale. The average assess
ment on real estate all over the county
has been about Is per cent of'cash val
ue, based on actual sales during the past
FIVE years.

Complaint was made to the sheriff and
county attorney one day last week about
a case Of cruelty to animals. A man
came to town early one morning, tied
his team to a hitching post and let them
remain there until late at night without
feed or water. No arrest was made but
we understand the man was warned not
to be guilty Of such an ofense again. A
man who will mistreat horse, his best
animal friend, in such shameful way, is
certainly without sympathy for the brute
creation. Do not mistreat the faithful
horse.

and Roosevelt talk and act as near alike
as two men could, the only difference
being that the President does it a little
moreso. His last message is something
worse, from the machine point Of view,
than Roscoe Stubs ever scattered any
where on Kansas soil. Above all things
we like to see consistency. and if the

Rather more than usual postholiday
QUIET is reported in general trade and
industry. But the financial situation
shows continued betterment Reduction
sales stimulate retail trade al some cities,
but mild weather limits seasonable dis
tribution at the northwest, while holding
of cotton affects retail trade and col
lections in the south. Money is moro
easily obtainable for business purposes
at large centers as a number of the
country banks have unobstrusively re-
sumed cash payments and the premium
on currency practically died with the old
year at New York. Shipments OF goods
on spring orders are reported light. At
the SOUTH however, retail business is very
quiet and in some instances nearly one
third of the cotton crop is still reported
held by farmers. The lumber trade,
while showing rather more life at west
ern points, is very quiet at the south and
yellow pine and cypress production is be-
ing cut heavily. The effect of this IS
found in the reports of traffic on leading
railroads Whicn IN audlllon report pusi-
ness as a whole still shrinking.
Business in dry goods and clothing is
light as a whole, but the tone of that
trade is more confident than a month
ago.
