3 Oddly in the Mems
Triumph Over Consumption.

London.-An operation performed on
a woman in local hospital Friday
heralds the triumph of science over
tuberculosis. The woman, who was
suffering from consumption in an adj
vanced stage, was not expected to live
more than couple of days. The sur
geons who performed the operation OPP
ened her back, cut away the ribs, and
removed all portions of the lungs at
fected by tuberculosis. The patient is
now progressing excelenty. Heretofore
the difficulty about this operation has
been to prevent the flow of blood from
the lungs. which always caused almost
immediate death. The chief surgeon
at this operation used a special instru-
ment for stanching the flow of blood
which represents victory of theory
over practice since the results of its
use had to be foreseen before it was
tested

The room was built to crafty Mr.

captured full grown American eagle
Saturday in peculiar manner while
hunting in the valley of the upper
Cowiche river. He was passing along

the eagle feeding upon a Jack rabbit.
Darby fired quickly at the eagle, but,
as his gun was loaded with light bird
shot. the force of the explosion mere-
ly stunned the bird
Darby saw that the bird was not
dead, and he quickly bound up it's feet
and tied it's wings tight to it's body,
The eagle recovered in about five min
utes and made hard fight to escape.
When the eagle was conquered
Darby united the thongs about it's feet
and drove it home. There wood

'0N[ A(RE CLUBS
Oklahoma Man Has a Plan For
Educating Farmers in Prac-
tical Manner
CAREFUL RECORD TO. BE KEPT
Each Member of a Neighhorhood Or
ganization to Experiment With q
Different Crop on Small Tract Of
Land-How Others Would Benefit.

Campbell! Russell, member Of the
! Oklahoma state senate. one Of the
best known farmers and breeders Of
live stock in the state. has originated
| q plan for the practical education OF
farmers His plan is the organization
Of "Acre clubs" in every county in the
state. says Muskogee (Okla.) CORE
spondent of the Kansas City Star.
| Mr.. Russell proposes that ten or fif-
teen farmers Of community organize
such club and that each member
plant one acre to a certain farm prod
uct a careful record of the acre Is to
be kept The farmer Is to use all rea-
sonable judgment and work to make
that acre produce the best possible
crop that year. He is to keep an exact
account of the expense. labor. growth
and development of the crop. together
with observations of conditions rela-
tive to climate and rainfall that he
believes affect the yield.
When the harvest is done, the farm
or is to call in all of his club members
! and read to them the record Of his
"acre" and tell them just what his
success has been and in what way err
rors have been made, If any, and how
they may be corrected. Each member
does this in turn, and when they have
made the rounds each member OF the
club has gained all the information
that the experience of the entire men,
bership Of the club can give.
Mr.. Russell says there are two Inn
portant points to be gained by this.
The first is the difference between
what an acre of ground will produce
when 1t is properly and intelligently
cultivated and when it is cultivated IN
a slipshod manner. as vast majority
of the land in Oklahoma now Is, and,
second. it will show just what crops
contain the greatest profit In this eli
mate under careful cultivation.
Mr.. Russelps advice is that the mem.
bers Of club vary their experiments
as widely as possible-that Is, each
farmer plant his .acre" in something
that no other member. is experiment.
ing with. He also advises that a
farmer can probably organize such a
club If he has for members only him
self and his son.
The difference between properly
and improperly cultivated acre is one
of the lessons that Oklahoma farmers
need to learn. The adaptability of the
soil and climate to such wide range
Of products could never be proved
more quickly in practical manner.

sIs Fierce Lynx.


Washburn, Wis.-Henry Kitzrow, of
Iron River, Bayfield, county, had a
desperate encounter with lynx Sat
urday while hunting for rabbits.
AS the hunter and his dog We're go
ing thru a jack pine thicket the dogs
attention was attracted to SOL ething
in the brush, and it proceededa to in
vestigate. The dog soon ran out, with
lynx close in pursuit. Kitzrow shot
the animal in the side and the wound
ed animal left the dogs trail and
rushed at the hunter. A hand-to-han
encounter was the result for few
moments, but Kitzrow managed to dis
charge the gun again, and tire lynx
rolled over dead.
Hunters say Kitzrow would surely
have been torn to pieces If he had not
killed the lynx in time.

LYDIA e. PINKHHM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the gTandest
remedy for woman's ills that tho
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days OF
our grand1nothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs Of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs OF the
field Lydia f. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world . remedy for their PEE
culiar ills, more potent and efica-
cious than any combination OF drugs.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's Ills.
Mrs. Bertha Nuff, of SIS NC. st,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
"Complete restoration to health
means 20 much to me that for the sake
Of other suffering women an willing
to make my troubles public
"Eor twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms Of female Ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years

What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege4

Mr.. Roosevelt's declaration is not
surprising, except that it should be

for some time that he not only raw
ored Taft for his successor, put thal
he sincerely believed that he Woula
be the nominee without doubt.
The declaration is as the final Woro
to those who have backed Cortelyou.
There has been some bewilderment IN
the minds of republican politicians on
the presidents position. They knew
that. he was friendly to Taft and as
against Fairbanks, Cannon, Knox or
any other favorite son they took the
presidents position as final. But MI.
Cortelyou, being member OF the pres
ident's official family and also being
said to be at least receptive can
didate, was confusing.
The progress and Gripping OF the
Cortelyou boom now is history. But
1t was only crippled. Secretary Cor

from the treasury thought over the
matter and consulted friends. The re-
suit was that he stayed after the others
had gone on a cabinet meeting day,
last week, and argued with the presl-
dent that he still was possible ana
even a desirable candidate. The presl-
dent was unconvinced. Mr.. Cortelyou,
however. feels so earnestly on the
matter that he has not returned to the
department. Instead he has gone to
Brooklyn to make a speech, winch
while supposed to be along financial
lines, will have political significance

office should not make 1t impossible
nor improper for him to nourish po-
litical ambitions; that if these am
billions do not interfere with his work
as a public official they cannot be crit
icised with fairness, and that even the
use of the government machinery, for
the furtherance of political ambitions
has distinguished precedent.
Mr. Cortelyou will remain in New
York several days. 1t is said by some
of his friends here that they expect
him to engage a New York residence
while there. Asked whether this fore
casts his leaving Washington, no one
can give a definite answer.
In the meantime the treasury is con-
Quoted by the acting secretary, and
has been so conducted a month. The
senate is waiting for information de-
manded by it on the methods used
by the treasury to relieve banks during
the panic. Senator Aldrich said a
week ago that he expected part OF
the information last Monday. 1t has
not been received. and the treasury
department says that the secretary
has not yet formulated it.

During this period hundreds of cases
have been relieved From very small
beginning the work has grown to such
proportions that they have sent out an
appeal to other clergymen in different
parts Of the country to carry on the
movement and meet the requests for
help which they themselves could not
consider.
In several Of the eastern towns and
cities ministers of different denomina-
tons have begun the same work. Some
of the ablest neurologists OF Boston
and New England are aiding in this
movement. The work which has been
begun here in Chicago will be conduct

"He was in bad shape" said the
bishop the other morning in telling
about it; "said he couldn' t eat. couldn't
sleep and couldn't get Il bit Of mental
quiet. I talked with him briefly. and
after awhile he went out into the din
