shadow of hollyhock and old-fashioned
roses in familiar gardens; it matters
little, for they are supreme in any
company. Whoever would be gracious
must serve them; whoever would be
wise must sit at their feet and take
counsel. Nor believe too readily that
the increasing tide of years has
quenched the fire in their souls; rath-

secret affairs of memory with lowers

BLOWS INTO BABY'S LUNGS
st. Louis Physician Adopts Heroic
Method to Save the Life Of
Choking Child.

st. Louis, Mo.-By blowing his
breath into the lungs of Margaret
Dryer, IS months old, DR.. Joseph
Hardy restored the child's respiration
and brought her back to consciousness
after it was believed she had choked
to death. The girl is the daughter of
William and Catherine Dwyer of 1920
Michigan avenue. She was playing
in the kitchen. While her mothers
back was turned the child took a pep
per shaker from the table, unscrewed
the top, removed it from the shaker
and swallowed it.
Picking up the child, Mrs. Dwyer
ran to near by drug store. Emer-
gency treatment was unavailing, and
DR.. Hardy was summoned.
When the physician arrived the
baby's face had turned blue, and she
was apparently near death After try
ing unsuccessfully to remove the OBJ
struction with Instruments, DR.. Hardy
forced his thumb and forefinger down
Margaret's throat and dislodged the
cover. The child's respiration had
then been cut off 50 long that she did
not revive when the obstruction was
removed. The physician saw that the
air in her lungs had been exhausted,
and that she was too weak to inhale
fresh supply No pulse nor heartbeat
could be felt. DR.. Hardy placed
piece of antiseptic gauze over the
chi1d's mouth.
Then he put his mouth close to
hers and exhaled the air from his own
lungs. After doing this for nearly five
minutes there was a futtering move
ment of the girls eyelids, and in half
an hour she was fully conscious.

grown successfully up TO the sixtieth
parallel and in the years to come your
vacant land will be taken at a rate
of which you have at present no con.
ception. We have enough people in
the United States alone. who want

What you must do in Western Can.
ada is to raise more live stock When
you are doing what you ought to do
in this regard, the land which is now
selling for $40 per acre will be worth
from $50 to 800 pre- acre. It is as
good land as that which is selling for
more than 500 per acre in the corn
belt.

can be grown in one-half of the coun.
try through which / have passed, and
alfalfa and one of the varieties Of
clover in three-fourths of IT, The
farmers do not believe this, but It is
true"
Keeping pace with wheat produc-
ton, the growth of railways has been
quite as wonderful, and the whole
country from Winnipeg to the Rocky
Mountains will soon be a network Of
trunk and branch lines. Three great
transcontinental lines are pushing
construction in every direction. and
at each siding the grain elevator is
to be found. Manitoba being the
first settled province, has now an ele-
vator capacity of upwards of %, 100000
bushels, Saskatchewan 100000 and
Alberta about 100000, while the ca.
pacity of elevators at Fort William
and Port Arthur, on the Great Lakes,
is upwards of 100000 more.
Within the provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta there are
flour and oatmeal mills with a COM
bined capacity of $4,000 barrels per
day, and situated along some famous
water powers in New Ontario, there
are larger mills than will be found
anywhere in the Prairie Provinces.
Last year the wheat crop totaled
oyer 100,000,000 bushels. This year
the crop will yield 100000 more. A
recent summary shows that on the 1st
of January, 1909, the surveyed lands
of the three western provinces, totaled
134,OOO,O0O acres, of which about 3d.
100000 have been given as subsidies to
railways, 100000 disposed of in 9TH
er ways and 100000 given by the
Canadian Government as free home
steads, being $4,000 homesteads of
$50 acres each. OF this enormous ter
ritory, there is probably under crop
at the present time less than 1000
900 acres; what the results will be
when wide awake settlers have taken
advantage of Canada's offer and are
cultivating the fertile prairie lands,
one can scarcely imagine.

ADVICE TO WOMEN
A Message From a Famous Beau
ty Specialist to Women Lack
ing in Energy and Vitality.

Thousands of women vainly at
tempt to improve their complex
ions and to remove blackheads,
crows feet and other blemiShes
through the use of cosmetics.
This treatment fails because the
trouble lies far deeper than the
skin. They are suffering from
impure and impoverished blood
This condition is in many cases
due to a catarrhal condition
of the whole system which finds
its expression in sallow, muddy
complexion, dark-circled eyes
general weakness of the system,
and perhaps most plainly in the
weeping of mucous membrane
that is commonly called catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is,
properly speaking, Catarrh. Ban
iSh this catarrh, and the complex
ion will clear as if by magic, eyes
will brighten, faces become ro-
Sy and shoulders erect. Perfect
beauty goes only with perfect
health, and perfect health for
women can only be obtained
through one certain treatment
that which will cure catarrh.
Nine. Swift, New York, the
famous beauty specialist known
throughout the world and an
accepted authority on all relat-
ing thereto, states that the one
positive and permanent relief for
catarrh is Rexall Mucu- Tone
Here is her letter:
u can strongly endorse the
claims made for Rexall Mucu
Tone as a cure for systematic ca
tarrh. It's tonic effects are re-
markable. It builds up the

Kansas Fees Total $693, 288

State Auditor Nation has COM
pleted a report showing the
amount of fees collected by var
iOuS departments of the state for
the past fiscal year.
The sum aggregated $693,2SS.
Of this sum $243,421 came from
the insurance department, $780,
273 from the bank commissioner
office; $29,32S from the game
warden; $61,974 from the secre-
tary of state; $21,747 from the
grain department; $44,SOO from
the university; $1O,7O2 from the
state normal and $15,5O2 from the
agricultural college.
Of the amount collected, 1927, :
265 went into the general reven-
ue fund. The rest was distribu-
ted among other special funds.

Wisconsin, about $585,00O; at
Ohio, about $4,000.
Under the new appropriations
the cost at the University of
Kansas will be higher, but still it
will be much lower than in most,
if not quite, all other institutions
of its class.
It must be borne IN mind that
the University of Kansas is not
merely teaching Institution. 1t
does a large amount Of conStruc-
tive work for the state and has
already saved the state much
more than the total cost of the
university up to the present time.
For example: ~ The result

cesSor, DR.. F. H. Snow, for the
destruction Of the chinch bug

been of money value as great as
all the appropriations ever made
to the University of Kansas. ~
The method of discing alfalfa Or
iginated at the University of
Kansas and was introduced into
Kansas by the university. This
method of culture has largely in
creased the yield and has been of
great money value to the state.

were almost total failures repre-
SentS a saving to the farmers of
Kansas equal to the total apprO-
priatiOn for the university for the
present biennium. (4) The state
geological survey, carried on by
the University of Kansas and
supported out of its general fund,
in its work upon Kansas clay

added an amount greater than
the total appropriations thus far
made to the University of Kansas
in its whole history.

4. Education Cheap at <. o.

Governor Stubs recently re
ceived q letter from Frank
Strong, chancellor of the Universe
ty of Kansas, discussing the cost
of the big school and the sddi.
tional appropriations made by
the last legislature. The gov
ernor sent out a letter some time
ago to all the state schools ask
ing about the work and why the
additional appropriations were
needed to carry on the work. The
letter of Chancellor Strong was
signed by all of the regents of
the Institution. 1t follows in
part:
When the Moseley Commission,
appointed by the British govern
ment, visited the United States,
a part OF that commission IN
pected the University of Kansas.
In its report the University of
Kansas was put by that cOmmiSS-
ion among the first ten mStitu-
tons meeting the best conditions

tratiOn of the university. With
IN the last year the University
Of Kansas has been admitted to
the Association of American Uni
verSitieS, composed of the TWEEN
ty-two leading universities of
America.
It is certainly good business
sense that the cost in Kansas be
somewhere near the average Of
the institutions with which, to
the honor of Kansas, it is class
ed. But the cost of education in
the University Of Kansas, if
not the lowest, is among the
lowest Of the institutions mention
ed by the MoSeley Commission or
IN the Association Of American
Universities above referred to,
and much below the average.
For example, the per capita cost
Of the larger institutions in
North America, which List In
clues practically all the state IN
iversities, is about 1855. The
average annual per capita cost
Of the University Of Kansas, for
the biennium which just expired
was about $194. From the lat
