The Registration!

1t is now quite generally con
ceded that the registration rush
will fall far below what past ex-
perience had induced to
believe. Not only at Lennon
but at every one of the six reg
istration points the number of
! registrations is so small that
it is doubtful if the sum total
of registrations will exceed e
figure $4,000, and may not
amount to more than an average
three names for each successful
number,
Clearly something is wrong
and this wrong, we believe, is to
be found in the exorbitantly high
estimate the appraisers have seen
fit to place upon the land to be
opened. People have learned to
look upon the Dakotas as the
land of free homesteads, and for
have tc give up their homestead
privilege for a price of practic-
ally a thousand dollars is an ex-
perience they would rather shun.
True, the American public has as
yet not learned the lesson that
the day of free homesteads-
homesteads worth having and
capable of being improved into
valuable farms is fast waning.
A few more years and the grand
public domain shall have ceased
to exist, so far as individual op-
portunity to cut off a slice, is
concerned. This to learn will be

PRESIDENT TAFT ON PARKS.
Believer In Generous Provision Of
Beauty Spots and Breathing Spaces.

Beauty Spots and Breathing Spaces.
President Taft in his notable speech
at dinner given in his honor by the
citizens of Washington touched upon
Rock Creek park as follows:
Nov / want to talk about the flu
turc. and the future of Washington.
What an enormous development is be-
fore us. Why, am not an Imaginative
man, but would like to come back
here Il hundred years hence and see
the beauties of which this city is ca
pable. Right here under our noses for
a time. under our very eyes, are those
beautiful Potomac flats that are going
to make as fine parks and park ways
as there are in the world. Those parks
ought to be connected with the Rock
Creek park by means of the mouth
Of Rock creek or otherwise, and then
through them all there ought to be
carried a park clear around, including
the Soldiers home and completing cir
cult with Rock creek at the other end"
President Taft is believer in parks,
the parking system Of the capital, and
it needs not the saying that he wants
these parks to be beauty spots and
breathing spaces accessible to and for
the enjoyment Of the general public.
That is what parks are for.

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead
Of Drugs.

1t takes considerable courage for L
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient, instead
OF resorting to the usual list of medi-
cines.
There are some truly scientific ply
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated re-
gardless of the value to their pockets.
Here's an instance:
-Four years ago l was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing would
stay on my stomach, so that / was on
the verge of starvation.
Il heard OF a doctor who had
summer cottage near me-a specialist
from n. Y, and as a last hope, sent
for him.
After he examined me carefully
he advised me to try small quantity
of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my
stomach became stronger to eat more.
Il kept at it and gradually got so /
could eat and digest three teaspoon
fuls. Then l began to have color in
my face, memory became clear, where
before everything seemed a blank.
My limbs got stronger and could
walk. So l steadily recovered.
Now after a year on Grape-Nuts
/ weigh 1873 lbs. Ny people were
surprised at the way 1 grew fleshy
and strong on this food"

health of the birds is all that could
be desired.
So far serious ostrich diseases
have not troubled the American rails
er; even the so called barring of the
feathers has not been observed. Os-
triches need a hot, dry climate, such
as Is found in the Southwest. The
rainy portion of the South is far less
desirable, although this is sometimes
mentioned as suitable for ostrich
raising.
Alfalfa pasture is also essential:
an acre of alfalfa will carry four os-
triches and, which is of far more i'm
portance, will keep them in good
health. Our American ostriches are
now worth $500 pair at four years
Of age. No one should imagine that
ostrich farming is a get rich quick
scheme, for the birds are not ready
for mating until they become four
years old.-From Country Life In
