Has Been Twice Proved.
In gratitude for complete re-

Of Barre, who 50 testified years ago,
now say their cures were permanent.

Of Doan's Kidney Pills to Barre kidney
sufferers.

Prof Milton Whitney. who Is chief
Of the bureau Of soils Of the depart
ment of agriculture. and The foremost
authority on this subject ia the country,
makes an official and strenuous denial
Of the oft-repeated assertion that the
soils Of the United States are wearing
out, and chat crop yields are decreasing
On the contrary, he declares that farm.
ers Of this nation are getting more out
Of their soil than ever before.
"As a whole, Prof Whitney SAYS st
seems probable that we are producing
more crops per acre than formerly. This
is undoubtedly due TO many factors. to
better and more intelligent cultivation,
more and better systems Of rotation 81
crops, and III later years TO the intelIi-
gent use Of fertilizers. through measurea
Of control in the hands Of every individ
ual farmer. In addition we must recoa
nize the increase III farm animals and
stock, the improvement in seed bv se
lection and breeding, and increased in
tensity in population, which Is forcing
attention to more intensive methods.
So far as our information goes there
is apparently no significant difference at
the present time between The compost
tion Of the old agricultural soils of Flu
rope and the newer agricultural soils of
The United Statesn
In Forthcoming bulletin Of the bu.
reau Of soils are some interesting statis-
tics to support this claim. For instance,
figures show that the wheat yield fin

1906, the average was AL. The same
ratio Of increase is apparent throughout
the country There is corresponding
increase III all cereal crops throughout
the United States for the past three 81
fom decades
In comparison, the bulletin points ont
that the wheat yield per acre in Russia
during the period from 1883 60 1905 was
from 81 to los, while It rose "a If.8

There is nothing more astonishing
than the beauty of girls belonging to
scrub families. We know a man who
is SO ugly and dirty that we charge
him IS an hour for talking to us. We
always watch his son. for fear he will
break a window, CT steal something.
but. mark you, this ugly man has \
daughter who is as dainty and sweet
as a flower. Her manners are ex-
Quisite and her complexion would do
credit to q queen. The girl IL COM

clothing has an imported look.

but that any sort OF advertising that
doesn't cost money is entirely ethical.

eighteen months old he hal not at

throat. Mrs. Brouse used to feel 50
badly about it that she would cry.
