A Kansas Letter.

Beloit, Kas., June IL, 1910
Editor Reporter:-As it has been
some time since / wrote to the dear
old Reporter l will try and do so this
fine morning. We have been having
it wet and cold here for six weeks.
Wheat looks awful fine, the best it
has for several years. Corn is small
but not many had to replant. We
are blessed with lot of alfalfa
which is ready to cut, and some are
done stacking the first crop. Harvest
will be on hands in a few days, as
wheat is in milk now We will have
plenty of new potatoes and soon will
have fried chicken. l would like to
say to the readers of The Reporter
that Mrs. Trisler was afflicted for
many years with articular rheuma-
tism, and her suffering was intense,
as she was unable to be about or
do anything. Many doctors who were
consulted claimed her ailment was
incurable and her chances were good
for being a hopeless cripple. Friends
advised Excelsior Springs or Hot
Springs and other, resorts, but was
persuaded to send her to Waconda
Springs and now am happy to state
she is restored to perfect health, and
it is permanent, as it is year since
she took the last treatment, and she
is still hale and hearty My sincere
advice to all who are afflicted is to
go4to Waconda Springs and there re-
gain their health. Waconda Springs
lis located on the railroad between
Beloit and Cawker City, in Mitchell
county, Kansas. The spring stands
in a large mound so feet above the
level and the water is running away
all the time. There is large hotel
there, fine people, and it is just like
home for any one who goes there.
The doctor is whole souled man and
he will do all he can for his sick
patients. If any one is interested
and wants to know more about
Waconda Springs they can address
me. Yours truly,
H. B. Trisler

Washington, Mar. 24.-In speech
today III favor Of the passage Of I

for the establishment OF Z depart

bureau has not SUFFICIENT dignity or

ued. It has mo national standing.
It cannot take the initiative, but
must always stand subject to the
orders of a secretary too greatly in
fuenced by mere apparent CONNER
cial and fiscal interest. f''&7 =
The bill introduced by Senator
Owen would coordinate into one
working body all of the various
health agencies Of the government.
It proposes no new officers, except
the secretary and his assistant, and
calls for no new appropriation aside
fro mthe salaries of the secretaries.
1t will provide a number of eficien-
cies, said Senator Owen, by prevent
ing duplication.
"A commercial nation, he said
should not be unmindful Of the
commercial value Of the saving of
all life and efficiency possible, which
is worth $1,000, 900 per annum. A
humane nation will not fail to act
when it is known that we could save
the lives Of 100000 OF our people
annually, prevent the sickness Of g.,

now suffer from preventable disease
