Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 15.- Berries in Arkansas will be worth S7.5O per crate next year in the opinion of k. F. Allen of the Ark ansas Railroad Commission who is one of the leading fruit grow CTS of Crawford county. He says fully one half the strawberry vines of Crawford and adjoining counties have been burned up and they cannot be replanted this year. so there will be but half a crop next year. He says it is the same way in Missouri so there is no way for berries to be cheap next year. He is also one of the commissioners of Crawford and Sebastian counties which will erect free bridge across the Arkansas river connecting Fort Smith and Van Buren. He says engineers yesterday commenced making the soundings for the bridge and within a few months active work will be commenced.

DOCTOR CRITICIZES
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
United Doctors in an Interest
ing Argument.
SAYS Ex-PREsuDENT IS WRONG
We Don't Want Birth Rate Increased,
But Rather 60 Increase
Length Of Life.

An interesting argument took place IN
the office OF the United Doctors Omaha
Institute, on the second floor OF the
Neville block, corner 18th and Harvey
streets, when ]. ID. Clark, the well known
real estate man, who is being cured OF
rheumatism by the United Doctors treat
ment. engaged in a heated discussion with
DR.. Klnsey in regard to the ex-presidents
theory that the birth rate should be In
creased. Mr.. Clark Is an ardent sup
porter Of the presidents theory OF anti
race suicide and started In to convince
the doctor that in order to hold our own
as a nation, we must Increase the annual
birth-rate. After Mr.. Clark had stated
his case and finished his argument, DR..
Kinsey replied:
your argument sounds very good but
will not stand analysis. II is a fact that
we want al increase in American born
citizens, but in order to gain the increase
It is not necessary to increase the birth
rate, but, rather, to increase the average
length of life. II we could prolong the
average life twenty to forty years, / be-
lieve we would be doing more good for
humanity than by increasing the birth
rate"
yes, / will admit that" said Mr..
Clark, But how could that be accom-
plished?"
Very simple" said DR.. Kinsey, you
will not dispute the fact that most people
die before their time and most people die
from diseases which could be cured by
proper treatment IL taken in time. Sta
tistics show that the average life is only
about seventeen years. II the govern
ment would open up an institute at some
suitable point in each state conducted by
men who are competent and thoroughly
educated in the United Doctors system Of
curing disease, 1 believe that the average
life could easily be raised to forty years.
We have taken up the work and are es-
tablishing institutes in the various states
as fast as we can. but the work is grow
ing too great for us. We have not enough
doctors on our staff to take care of all
the people who should receive this won
derful treatment. The government has
been very kind and encouraging to us by
granting United States certificates-to my
self and others of the staff Of doctors,
but the work should be under government
control and there should be ten times as
many institutes established so that all the
people could have the benefit of the treat
ment, then you would see the average
length of life would increase so that it
would not be necessary to increase the
birth rate-at least not very much"
At this point the argument closed be-
cause of the Doctors time being taken up
by patients. The waiting rooms of the
United Doctors Omaha Institute, on the
second gloor Of the Neville block, corner
18th and Harvey streets are nearly always
crowded with patients, some OF whom
have come many miles and some even
from other states. Consultation and ex-
animation is free to all and no incurable
cases are accepted for treatment. The
United Doctors win accept no money from
people who cannot be cured. sos 90.

TRACK TRAINING IN JANUARY
Iowa Begins Work EARLY, Hoping for
Championship.

IOWA CITY. Ia, Dec. 24I-(Special.)-
That a track coach will be secured before
the middle OF January is the assurance
made by the Iowa board Of control OF ath-
letics, The need for immediate preparation
Is felt here, especially because of the fact
that this year the Old Gold has an ex-
cellent chance to win the Missouri Valley
championship on the track.
With splendid material, the Iowa squad
looks the most promising Of anything In
the state, and unless Missouri. Kansas or
Nebraska comes to the front more strongly
than the preliminary dope Indicates, the
lowans have a good chance to regain their
track supremacy.
However, It will be strictly essential to
success that a coach is soon secured, and
with this end in view, the board sent Prof.
Stephen II. Bush, the secretary. east this
vacation to close a contract with an east
ern man, Owing to the good financial con-
dition OF the athletic treasury. the board
will spend good money for a trainer, as
the members are anxious 20 put q winning
team on the track.

BASKET BALL SCHEDULE OFF
Hawkeye Plans for Eastern and
Northern Trips Shattered.

IOWA CITY, Ia. Dec. 24.-CSpecial.)-
Iowa's basket ball schedule has been prac-
tically shattered by cancellation of dates
on the eastern and norther trips and re-
arrangements are now being made, so that
the Hawkeyes may have games with other
schools.
Northwestern cannot play Coach Grit
fith's men on the date specified and Pur-
due is the only certain game on the east
ern trip. Efforts are being made to ar
range dates with Wabash or some other
Indiana school,. so that the team can 20
east next month.
The game with st, Thomas on the north
ern trip has been cancelled and negotla-
lions are being carried on with Fort Dodge,
Luther and other schools, so that the trip
will come more nearly paying expenses.
Fort Dodge is anxious for a game, and 1t
is probable that the team, captained by
Jimmie" Barton, the former Iowa leader,
will be played by the present five.
During the week, just before the men
left for the Christmas holidays, good
progress was made in the practice and the
five will be well prepared for the first
game OF the season. which comes shortly
after vacation ends. The first two games
will be with Iowa teams. as the Purdue
contest has been called off by the LAfay-
cite management.
