To know these means and how and when
70 apply them Is the measure of successful
farming. The farmer, with his often too
limited education in the science of his
business, is helpless. He must look with
confidence to the expert, who, by years Of
stuay and experiment, can guide him in
paths he knows not of. The time has long
since passed when the ways of the fathers
are good enough for the sons to follow.
This rule, If applied, would blot out every

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 6.-Dr. Loren B. Doxey
Of Columbus. Neb., late today accepted
service to appear before the coroner's jury
at the inquest OF w J. Erder, tomorrow.
Mrs. Doxey, alleged wife Of Erder and
whom she was accused OF numbering by
giving him arsenic, was reported by the
jail physician tonight as being really III.
Her condition vas such this the jailer
refused to allow her attorney to see her.
A formal statement Issued by Doxey to-
day denied his wife married Erder. The
statement admitted Mrs. Doxey was in St
Louis at the time she is charged with being
Erder's wife.
Circuit Attorney Jones, who will present
the Erder death to the jury tomorrow,
does not want DR.. Doxey to appear before
the grand Jury or the coroner's jury.
Dr. Doxey is free to go where and when
he pleases, said Attorney Jones. I'VE do
not want him. He is not a competent wit
ness against his wife for the grand jury,
the coroner, or the court. II he went be-
fore the grand jury it might vitiate any
bill that body might find in the case of
his Wife,
DR.. Warren's report states that in eleven
analyses Of portions Of Erder's body he
found 81 grains or white arsenic. The
material from which this poison was re-
covered weighed 1923 pounds. In his first
report DR.. Warren swore that the en-
balming fluid used by Erder's undertaken
contained no trace OF arsenic.

drawn by Mrs. Dora Il. Erder was re-

This corresponds with the amount Of in
surance collected on Erder's life policy.

an extended statement in defense of his
wife. In it he declared she was never
married to Erder, but that in May of 1909
she was in a hospital in st. Louis. He

Any Woman Can

"No woman hould use water upon her

says NJ. Fourier, the noted French sci
enlist DRY powder only should b6 used.
Moisture causes the hair to lose it's color
and in time become thin.
Amy woman desiring abundant, lus-

every two or three days. Mix four ounce
OF powdered orris root with four ounces
OF therox. Sprinkle about a tablespoon
full OF this mixture upon the head; then
brush the powder thoroughly through the
hair. This will keep 1t light and fluffy,
and beautifully lustrous. You will soon

for the Sorosis Shoe company, received a
severe wound in his right leg from flying
glass. The occupants OF the building de-
clared their belief tina the explosion was
caused by a bomb. but they are utterly
at a loss to explain a motive forA the
preparation of such an attempt on their
lives and property.

blocks felt the conclusion of the explosion

Almost before they could make a move thu
report came, binding them with a flash o.
light. The report was sharp, indicating
the discharge Of a powerful explosive.
The effects Of the explosion were felt

separates the Karbach block from the
buildings adjoining on Douglas street.

maintained that the accident was

Heney Announces His Future

Geedings today. when the panel of
twelve Jurors, completed after days of
wearisome effort, was broken by the
discharge Of one juror, and when AS
. sistant District Attorney Francis j.
Heney, resenting the demeanor of a
witness on the stand, declared that
he had fixed line over which no liv-
ing man could In future step. Two
alleged cases of jury tampering were
made public during the afternoon, and
While there was no substantiation in
either instance before adjournment,
it is likely that the proceedings to-

Samuel Leake. former newspaper

moned to the stand because of an al
legation that he had endeavored to
purchase an interest in the haberdaSh-

most sensational incident of the day
Mr.. Leake had warned Mr.. Heney that
he could make certain revelations con-
cerning the prosecutors case
When questioned as to his visits TO

interrupted Mr.. Heney.
Il don't propose that you shall make
any more threats. You are there to
answer questions.
There is one conversation you don't
dare to refer to- retorted the witness.
There was once when you went up
the back way into the Call office and
tried to go back on Phelan and
