Not a Party Question

Former United States Senator
Harris in an interview in Kan
sas City recently used the fol-
lowing language. " came to Kan
sas City to sell cattle and not to
talk politics, but | want to
say just a word in favor of the
agitation for the appointment of
a nonpartisan committee to re-
wise the tariff. The tariff is not
a party question, it is a National
question, and party politics
should not interfere in a quek"n
which affects the whole Nation. "

How Restore and Increase Fertility

In Illinois the depletion Of the soils
has proceeded several decades longer
than in Kansas. The deficiency in
phosphorus has received careful at
tention of William G. Eckhardt OF
the Illinois Experiment Station, who
suggests the following plan, in addi-
ton TO a rood rotation and the return
of all crop res,dues to the soil;
"The results in Chic show that ev-
ery dollar put into rock phosphate,
where used with manure, produced an
increase of from 3.5 to 26.S bushels
per acre. But assume an average In
crease of 81 per acre. Take for ex-
ample 100 acres of prairie land worth
$4,000 to $4,000. With less money
than the interest on its value for one
year, we can put this place under a.
system of farming where it will grow
richer from year to year. Buy 70
ton car of rock phosphate for $l6O
and apply it in the fall on 40 acres
that has been in clover; count the re-
turns as $40, and the second year put
with it Sl2O and buy another ear
load of rock phosphate and apply 1t
to another 40. The returns from the
two forties will be $50; put another
$50 with it for phosphate for third
field. Returns from the three fields,
$l2O; add $40 to it and get the rock
phosphate for the last 40 acres. i
"Here is total investment of
$4OO and we have added to the land
100000 pounds of rock phosphate
which contains enough phosphorus toI
grow 117,647 bushels of corn. And
we should 60 on adding phosphate
until the increase Of the crop will no
more than pay its cost. ;"

What Shall We Repeal

Almost daily one can hear
the remark made that if the leg
islature would meet, repeal about
three-fOurths of the laws ON the

The Doctors
Question
Some Advice Against the Use Of Harsh
Purgatives and Physics.

A doctors first question when con-
suited by patient is, Are your bow
els regular?" He knows that SO per
cent of illness is attended with inact-
i've bowels and torpid liver. This
condition poisons the system with
waste matter and causes accumulation
of gases which must be removed
through the bowels before health can
be restored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force passage through the bow
els, causing pain and damage to the
delicate intestinal structure which
weakens the whole system, and at
best only produces temporary relief.
The repeated use of such treatments
causes chronic irritation of the stom-
ach and bowels, dries and hardens
their tissues, deadens their nerves.
stiffens their muscles and generally
brings about an injurious habit which
sometimes has almost, if not fatal re-
suits.

PECULIAR CASE
OF HYPNO7IS7
An Odd Legal Point in the Death of
Man Who Died Under a Hyp-
motto Spell.
Bu Associated Press.

Somerville, N. j., Nov. 11.-An in
teresting legal question is a sequel
to the autopsy performed on the body
of Robert Simpson, the hypnotic sub
iect whom Arthur Everton, a hypnot-
list, failed to restore after placing him
in trance. The autopsy disclosed
that Simpsons death was due to a
rupture of the aeOrta.
In just what measure, if any, Ever
ton will finally be held responsible by
the law for the death of Simpson is a
question which is puzzling the legal
experts. The prosecutor of this dis
trict is credited with the intention of
holding Everton on technical charge
of manslaughter until his case can be
passed upon by the grand jury next
month.
The autopsy was delayed until a
professional hypnotist had had an op-
portunity to make one last effort to
restore animation in Simpsons body
There was not the slightest response
and the examination following showed
that death had resulted Immediately
after the collapse of the subject from
the rigid state in which the hypnotist
had placed him.
