STATE FAIR
VISITORS
Have exceptional opportunity
to call on
DR.. O, A. YOUNG
the Great Stomach Specialist.

DR.. Young has made special arrange
ments for the accommodation of his out
of town friends and patients SO that he
can take care of them during the rush of
State Fair week.
Last year the Doctor was compelled to
turn away many people, some of them
travelling hundreds of miles 10 see him.
This year this will be avoided, as the
doctor has SO arranged his business that
he will be enabled to see all who call
and give them his best attention.
Hundreds of people are constantly
calling on DR.. Young daily, most of them
sufferers of stomach, liver, bowel and
gladstone complaints. Many have the
good fortune of securing cures at his
hands, while large number have neg
lected themselves so long that they have
become incurable. The incurable cases
are frankly Informed that nothing can
be done for them and their cases are re-.
fused. On the other hand, those the
doctor accepts leave the Office with
light heart, as they know that once the
doctor takes their case for treatment,
they will receive complete and perma-
nent cure.
The reputation that DIR. Young has
received as being the greatest stomach
sPeCldllSt, mas extended throughout the
entire United States, as the Doctor now
has cases under treatment in nearly every
state in the Union, also Canada and
Mexico. He has thousands of grateful
letters from cured patients; he makes no
charge for consultation or examination;
if he can cure you he will tell you so,
if not, he will frankly tell you and re.
fuse to treat you.
He has the largest, most beautiful and
best equipped Office in the United
States. Even if you do not need treat
ment you should call and inspect his
beautiful Office rooms, 209-6th Avenue,
Des Moines, Iowa.

THE BUFFALO.
A Good Surveyor and One si Our Flrs,
Roadmakera.

The Buffalo was good surveyor
~ did not reason out why Il should
30 IN a certain direction, but Its sure
instinct took II by the easiest and
most direct paths, over high lands and
low, to the salt licks and water
courses which we're Its goal. The au-
thora OF ''rhe Story OF the Great
Lakes Edward Charming and M n
Lansing, say that the buffalo observed
something like the principles which,
today govern the civil engineer
As soon az the explorer landed ON
the southern shores OF Lakes Erie.
Mlchighn and Superior he came upon
bnnalo roads or traces. Sometimes
these were narrow bitches, a foot
vide and from six inches to two feet
deep, trodden down by the impact OF
thousands OF hoofs and herd after
nerd OF buffaloes had stamped along
II single file behind their leaders.
When the first pain became too
deep for comfort because OF repeated
travel the buffaloes would abandon Il
end begin a second path alongside the
first. fnd thus the freQuented traces
would be gradually widened.
Again, an immense herd of these
heavy animals would crash through
the forest, breaking IN their rapid
prograss a broad, deep road from one
feeding ground to another. AS this
route would be followed again ana
again by this and other herds,it would
become level and hard as rock. 80
that there was great rejoicing In pIo-
neer settlements when the weary
roadmakers, struggling with log cause
ways and swampy hollows, came upon
irm, solid buffalo trace. Nor was
this an uncommon experience.
The line Of many OF these roads Il
followed today by our railroads and
canals, as 1t was followed BY our log
roads and turnpikes.
The buffalo followed the level Of the
valley. He swerved round high points
whenever It was possible, crossing the
ridges and watersheds at the best nat
ural divides and gorges, and he cross
ed from one side of stream of water
to the other repeatedly In order 10
avoid climbing UP from the level, after
the fashion OF our modern loop rail-
ways.
