ARE YOU STILL
"DOCTOR|NC?''
Suppose You Try Electricity, Prop
erly Applied, for a
Change.
FREE TREATMENT UNTIL CURED

If you are not the man or woman
you ought to be; if you are back
ward. try to shun company; If you
can't make up your mind to thing;
if you never take a chance; If you
are afraid of failure; If you are
afraid something awful is going to
happen to you; if you lack courage,
confidence in yourself; if you fear
that your life will be a failure; if
you are a weak man or woman, a
sick man or woman; If your brain is
in a muddle, your ideas confused; If
your nerves are unstrung and your
muscles feel weak, you can be cured,
but you'll not find your cure in drugs
alone. You need electricity properly
applied and that is the remedy that
will surprise you as it has hundreds
Of others.
Here's a list of ailments that cleo
tricity when properly applied is in
dicated, and I can prove it; indi-
gestion. constipation. torpid liver.
weak kidneys, rheumatism, neural
gia,. lame back, lumbago, sciatica,
insomnia (sleeplessness). poor blood
circulation, nervousness and head
ache.
Don't get the idea that my method
of applying electricity is like the old
style battery; there is no comparison.
My mode of applying this grand
force, is according to the latest scien-
tific method There's no burning or
blistering; no shock whatever. The
current enters your body in a mild
vitalizing manner and gives a pleas
ant sensation of glowing warmth ali
through your system.
Free Treatment Notice.
Due to the fact that the conserva.
tive patients in and out of the city
have only recently begun to realize
and appreciate the fact that we pos
sess the grandest and most success
full method of restoring vitality and
curing disease that is known to the
scientific world and being DESTROYS
of adding at least 60 more new testi-
monials to my list OF cured I have
decided to extend my great free
treatment offer to everybody calling

A cartoon in a recent issue of the
Spokane Spokesman-Review, with
the caption Haunted" showing Il
terror-stricken man with score OF
accusing hands pointing at him, and
bearing the label ''The Careless
Camper" implies not merely pos
sible but a very probable origin of
confagratfon which has destroyed
millions. of dollars worth of property
and a large number OF human lives,
observes the New York Tribune and
that newspaper makes the following
comment upon the subject which is
timely reading as the hunting season
is now open and the dangerous
period of the campfire is at hand:
No better recipe for great fire
in any extensive wooded section
could be asked than a dry season
and the embers OF a dying fire. \

that would be necessary to start III

Probably the true cause OF the fire
will never be known, but II it is de-
termined that the outbreak was far
enough from the railroad to make
untenable the theory that spark
from an engine started the blaze II
will be difficult to get away from
the conviction that a most unpardon'
able bit OF human carlessness was
at the bottom of the trouble. And
as we shall always have with us the
fool who rocks the boat and the play

in the near future we shall have en-
tirely eliminated that more danger

Movement. after movement has

a city park. Proposals have been
made to PIT 1t in the court house

there asisoon as it can be found and
unearthed from its present hidiag
pTacs The location referred to is
the Glen Elk tioffdge.
While there Is plenty of dust on
the bridge: in fact layer OF several
feet, all but possibly an inch CT
which is kept in circulation by the
zephyr breezes, there as yet grows
no grass on the bridge. This fact
must. however, not be lamented. as
its absence does away with the ex-
pense OF providing signs reading
Keep or the grass"
True. there are no benches for
seating purposes on the bridge: bat
al: but very fat persons. who may not
be able to climb, and very lean per-
sons. who might be blown away oy
the wind, may Chamber over the side
of the railing and let their feet hang
over. There are also sunocating and
far, from agreeable odors that arise
from sewer outlets below the bridge,
but arrangements can be made to
have these constantly arising, if de-
sired. instead OF fntermittently, as IS
the present condition.
Then there is another objection
that the bridge, both sidewalks and
wagon road, is filled half OF the day
with wagons and buggies and street
cars. which hourly line up in pro-
cession extending generally clear
across the bridge. Those who make
this objection say there would be no
room for any one on the bridge if its
use as a park were desired, but they
probably belong to the class of pen
pie that is always finding fault
with new innovations. and the pro-
moters of the idea would do well not
to listen to their objections. Other
suggestions with regard to a change
in the condition OF the bridge might
be in order.

almost universally breeding grounds
for foul weeds and grass It has been
charged that the Southern farmer II
careless. It may be true in some
things, but in one thing too many Of
them stand first among the farmers Of
the world, they never fail to raise q
crop Of weed and grass seed large
enough to seed their own fields and
their neighbors'.
The cost Of this universal weed and
grass seeding amounts annually to
more than S. for each acre in corn, and
SO for each acre in cotton. In 1909
In the States Of Alabama, Arkansaa,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Aisais-
sippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Viz
ginia, there were 40,S65,000 acres IN
corn and 30,693,0 900 acres in cotton.
which would show a yearly loss Of
over 511 millions OF dollars. This loss
can be greatly reduced by intensive
cultivation continued as late In the
season as possible and by moving the
roadsides, the fence corners, the bor-
ders Of the fields and the pastures In
June and in August At first it seems
like waste Of labor, but its beneficial
effects soon become apparent.
A persistent war on weeds and grass,
stumps and brush, in the fields is one
