My Dear Doctor: The term "dcar" in
this case is not one Of affection, but is
| inspired by your bill for $72, which has
! Just arrived. When ! called you in three
weeks ago YOU said that you would do me
! good. thought you meant my health,
{ not my pocketbook. You have itemized
| the statement, else | should be totally at
sea as to what | am to pay for. You say
| 3Ovisits at 50 avisit, $50; for consultation
with DR.. Cutem, SO, and medicines, 50.
Does 1t not strike you as little unjust,
doctor, to tax me so for talk and 90 for
medicine. What needed was medicine,
! not talk.
| And that consultation for which am
asked to pay SO. You and DR.. Cutem
came together and thumpcd my chest and
! felt my pulse; Cutem gravely pulled his
whiskers and you seriously mopped the
sweat from your bald head.
"Hc's d sick man. said Cutcm, "and
needs constant care
Then you two whispered together and
! departed. Now, before You were called
| in, and before Cutem was called in,
knew that was a very sick man. II
had been we'll man | would not have
sent for yor. But must pay a ten spot
| for being told something that knew be-
| fore anyone else did.
| We owe a great debt to medical science,
| l know, but there is no justice in trying
| to make me pay it all. During the time
! that you made those 80 visits you smoked
my cigars, ate the oranges that were
| placed at my bedside, put my flowers in
your hUttonhole, carried away box Of
| figs and frequently Iunched on the deli
cacies that my fond and loving wife pre-
| pared for me. made no objection to
! that, thinking, ofcourse, that you would
credit me with the price of the meals
| Now You want me to pay you for eating
my food.
The medicine for which you ask 50,
consisted of a bottle of lniment and a
porus plaster. The porus plaster is still
with me, but the Iiniment you took away
on your last visit. I am expecting every
| day to have you come and tear the plaster
from my back.
1t evidently costs money to be sick. 1t
is a luxury that only the rich can afford.
A man has no chance for recovery now
adays, for he no sooner gets better than
the doctors bill gives him a relapse. ]
am going back to work tomorrow, and
the first So get in a lump is yours.

years, and the biggest sum lever amass-
ed in that length OF time was S.. Your

Corn Variety Tests.

The agricultural experiment sta
ton has been conducting corn
variety tests with farmers over the
state for the past three seasons, using
twelve Of the most promising va
rieticS of corn. The results of these
tests show that the improved varIc-
ties are practically always superior
in yield to unimprovcd varieties,
the increased production being as
much as Is or 20 bushels per acre in
some cases. In other words, these
experiments have shown that it is
best to use improved varieties OF
seed corn, just as it is best to use
improved breeds of live stock.
The summary Of the three years
results shows that for rich lands
especially river bottom land, Boone
County White is almost always
superior to other varieties. This is
a large, rather late white com which
is very promising in Missouri. Va
rictics which resemble it in charactcl
and yield arc the Farmers Interest
and Johnson County White.
Foruplands in North Missouri tn,
Reid's Yellow Dent and Leaning
seem to be best adapted, and there
is little choice between the two as
to yield. The Reid's, however, is ;
somewhat more improved type ane
somewhat earlier in maturity thar
the Leaning.
For the upiands ofSouth Missouri
the ST Charles White, Legal TcnGe
and Leaning may be recommended
| while for large, rather late ant
heavy maturing bottom land corr
the St. Charles Yellow is good. Th
Iowa Silver Mine is most too small

lT will be remembered that in
March, 1907, says The Commoner,
the democrats in the senate killed
the ship subsidy bill, which had
passed the house by republican
votes. Senator Carmack Of Ten
ncssec led in the tilibuster which
resulted in the defeat of this iniqui-
tous measure. Now the republican
senate has passed ship subsidy
bill and the measure goes to the
house. II seems that the republican
party has ample time to pass meas
urcs demanded by the financiers,
such as the Aldrlch bill. and meas
urcs demanded by the subsidy grab
bers, such as the shipping bill. But
when the people demand tariff re-
vision and other important reforms
they are expected to be satisfied
with the assurance that if they will
again trust the republican party
with power they may have such
tariff revision as the friends of the
tariff" think the people are entitled
