KIPLING'S NEW POEM.
Verses by the English Author GlOrify
Strength of Character.

Rudyard Kipling has new poem in
the October American Magazine which
he entitled 'Jf,'' and which Judge
Swope thinks would be much enjoyed
by the readers of the Fulton County
NEWS. 1t follows:
''If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
you;
If you can trust yourself when all men
doubt you,
But make allowances for their doubt
ing too;
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or being lied about don't deal in
lies.
Or being hated don't give away to
hating.
And yet don't look too good, nor
talk too wise.
''If you can dream-and not make
dreams your master;
II you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim;
If you can treat with triumph and
disaster
And treat those Gwo imposters just
the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life
to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with
wornout tools;
"If you can make one heap OF all your
winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-
toss,
And lose, and start again at your be-
ginnings
And never breath word about yonp
loss;
IL yOu S"h ioiNo JOur uodTO uuu HcrNc
and sinew
To serve your turn long before they
are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing
inyou
Except the will which says to them;
Hold on
''If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose the
common touch;
II neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you,
II fall pen count with you, but none
too much;
II you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of dis
lance run,
Yours Is the earth and every thing that
Is In 1t,
/ And-which Is more you'll be a
man, my sonl''

DOCTORS
ENDORSE
NewbrO's
Herpiiciide

When a doctor endorses a prep
aration it means more than an or
binary testimonial. His opinion
is always that of the professional
man devoted to the welfare of the
people.
DR.. J. J. Boyd, Covington,
Tenn, says: Il feel it my duty
to write this for the benefit Of
those suffering from dandruff. In
the average case a few applica-
tions of Newbro's Herpicide will
remove all dandruff. 1t is advis-
able to continue its use for sew
eral weeks"
The words of J. B. Thompson.
NJ. D., No. , Burrough Place. cor
ner Hollis street, Boston, Mass,
are not less enthusiastic: At can
only speak in praise of Newbro's
Herpicide. It is all that Is claimed
and perhaps more. Herpicide not
only cleanses the scalp but bright
ems the hair, gives it life and
makes it soft"
DR.. T. \. Moore. Duncan. Ariz
writes of his experience: GMy
scalp was in places covered by
patches Of dry, sealy material. and
the itching was incessant. Since
using Herpicide all these evils
have disappeared, and my hair is
soft, smooth and growing. Hair
has grown on spots before but
thinly covered"
Newbro's Herpicide is the
ORIGINAL remedy to kill the
dandruff germ and stop falling
hair. The terrible itching which
goes with dandruff Is allayed al
most at once.
Herpicide is for sale at Drug
Stores and One Dollar Bottles are

obtained at the leading Barber

Hygienio results Follow.

THE education OF the masses in mat
tiers Of personal and general hygiene
gives the greatest promise Of success in
our modern warfare against disease in
all its forms. The category Of pre-
ventabIe scourges is large, but their
prevention is generally possible under
proper and personal hygienic conditions,
consequently when the public have
learnt to appreciate the value Of con-
trolIed exercise, drills, swimming baths,
etc, they viii realize not only the pleas
ure, but the hygienic results which fol-
low emulation and oftentimes uncOn-
sciOus pride in the attainment Of re-
suits. Such an education leads to a
habit of thought, which, in turn, sug-
gests research, and the asking Of queS-
tons; the answers to which may be
diligently sought for in the adjunct in
stitution, the public library, thus prov
ing the ACCESSIBILITY OF linking them to-
gether.
Time does not permit Of my men
tioning the many advantages, both
mental and physical, which accrue to
those who systematically train their
muscles and nerve centers. Training
teaches temperance and moderation,
not only in eating and drinking, but
also in every act OF public and private
life.

Some Things You Want to Know
Saving the Public Domain.

Under the Interpretation Of the law the
mot less than" was entirely omitted and
$40 and $50 were made the maximum and
only prices. Then the regulations OF 1906
were prepared and they took cognizance
OF the mot less than" Thereafter coal
lands should be sold on a basis Of their
coal deposits. SO the land was ordered
classified. Each foot of territory was gone
over carefully and the quantity Of coal
estimated. The coal beds are the fossilized
swamp growth formed just after the lane
emerged from the bottom Of the sea. Some
Of these swamps were OF enormous extent
and the many different kinds OF vegeta-
ton growing in them accumulated for
many ages and gave rise to beds OF coal

measures its thickness at many points.
and where he finds this uniform he knows
the coal viii continue OF an approximately
even thickness, all through the bed. unless
IL happens to be broken by faults In the
rock. BY following well established geolo-
gle laws he Is enabled to tell just what
coal is there, as well as &c he used a
diamond drill every twenty feet. After
finding the quantity OF coal on each tract
OF forty acres, and plating II on the off,
maps, the sale price OF the land is
computed. There being no provision for
disposing OF It on a royalty basis IL must
be sold outright. So a price is fixed that
will allow every one who takes a tract 10
make a good profit from Il. yet which Is

value under the old regulations
was &2,OSS.60 COO. Under the new regulations
their value is sis, "a, 66S. Probably not over
a third OF the coal lands ave been sur
veyed In detail yet, but when 1t is all done
Uncle Sam will be hundreds Of millions Of
dollars to the good by the operation.
There are some features Of the existing
law which are thought to be rather bur
densome. An individual can take up only
100 acres of land at the prices fixed. A
firm or corporation can take up 500 acres,
and II at least 5000 is spent for develop
ment they may tal5e up an additional 800
acres adjoining. %prov5ud no one has done
so already. In practice this provision
seldom gives a corporation or firm the OPP
p%oTtunity of acquiring the additional 800
acres. 1t is plain that where a company
has to spend a quarter of a million dollars
for a railroad outlet. and a million more
for equipment. a S2O-acre tract scarcely
j~ustfies such expenditure.
The protection OF the public land phos-
phate beds in the west is deemed abso-
lutely essential to the welfare OF the ma
ton. There are three things necessary to
the growth OF crops, as water. food and
raiment are essential to human welfare.
These three things are nitrogen, potash
and p~hosphoric acid. Each Is absolutely
essential to plant growth. Potash exists
in the rocks In sufficient quantities to
supply every need when II cannot be
little chemical laboratories at their roOts
can grab enough nitrogen from the air 10
supply the wants OF the fields. But when
the phosphate beds are gone. no one has
solved the problem where to get phos-
phorua.
With this situation in view the admins
tration wants TO preserve and protect the
phosphate beds. II In seeking 70 have a
law passed by congress which will enable
It to lease the lands on a royalty not ex-
ceeding 10 per cent OF the value OF the
Omaha daily bee., 1910-03-06

Uncle Sam is at least succeeding in his
efforts 10 protect the coal, phosphate, oil
beds and water power on the lands sim
owned by him. He has parties in the field
making extended, detailed surveys of tracts
down to the smallest legal subdivision, and
when deposits are found he proposes to
dispose OF them at a price commensurate
with at least an approximation Uf their
value. He is now willing to sell coal lands
on a fee simple basis, but II the views OF
the responsible authorities are accepted by
congress the oil and phosphate deposits
ana the water power will be leased and
not sold. Leasing OF coal is also urged
because Il win afford a better method OF
controlling waste.
When a man can. by the expenditure OF
less than 10 cents an aere-and in some
cases less than 1 cent-enhance the selling
value OF his land from so per acre 20 as
much as Sz6 per acre. he Is something OF
a genius. Yet that Is exactly what the
geological survey has been doing since
1906. There stll remains some 100000
acres OF coal and In the possession OF the
goFernment, about 100000 acres already
ha ing been taken VI. The old law, which
WI passed in 1s79. set forth that All coal
land should be sold under certain terms
and limited the amount any Individual or
corporation could buy. All such lands
within fifteen miles OF a railroad should
be sold at mot less than $40 per acre, and
All over fifteen miles should be sold at
''not less than" $40 per acre.

high enough tina purchase for mere specu-
lative holdings may be discouraged. 1t is
figured that the life of the usual coal mine
will not exceed twenty years, and that it
will take that long to get all the coal out
Of a tract.
on this basis, the actual cash value OF
the customary 1O-cent royalty would be
cut down to one-half that amount. Then,
to err on the side Of generosity toward
the entrymsn, the present day cash value
Of the prospective royalty is again cut in
half. That would make the average roy
atty about 2 cents a ton. But all the coal
is not Of uniform quality, and Uncle Sam
wants to encourage the development of the
cheaper grades. To accomplish this he
puts a present day cash value on the coal
in the mine dow to u cent a ton on the
cheap coal, and up to 3 cents a ton on the
best coal.
As about two-thlrds Of the 20. OOO.O 900 acres
of coal lands contain the cheaper grades,
II will be seen that the major portion OF
the total tonnage will be sold on a basis OF
y a cent a ton, unmined value. In an
other particular these terms are most ad-
v~antageous to the purchaser. In the COM
mercial market the royalty is usually about
10 cents a ton at the mouth OF the mine,
no matter whether II Is the finest bitumi-
nous to be found OF the cheapest Ignite tina
Is mined. Therefore. in the majority OF
cases, the coal operator who buys gov
eminent land will get coal for u a cent a
ton that would cost him 10 cents IL he
bought from private parties. the only diff
ference being that in the former case he
pays cash in advance.
But even at this price the government
gets more out OF II than under the old
terms Of sale. The maximum value OF a
single township IN Wyoming. under the old
regulations. was $4,000. Under the pres
ent regulations It Is y, sOs. 0 In the case
OF eight widely separated townships the
