We all feel the results and it is
not the man with the hayseed in his hair who
feels 1t first but the man with the pen behind

problem of maintaining and increasing the fer

Fortunately they can be restored Intelli-

undo the evil it has wrought Even those soils

Cyril Hopkins, head of the agronomy depart
ment of the University of Illinois, a soil spe-
cialist of national reputation and the author of
numerous pamphlets and book entitled Soil
Fertility and Permanent Agriculture" is one
of the most enthusiastic workers along this
line. He is a man of hard facts and loves
pretty theories even as the devil loves holy
water Every fact that he gives out must
prove itself over and over again In tests upon
his own farms, or those belonging to the uni
versity or upon one of the various experiment
tai plots. There are about thirty of these plots
scattered through the state of Illinois, where
the soils are carefully examined and then
cropped according to their needs. I could tell
you tales of what Mother Earth has done In
the way of corn, wheat, oats, or clover when
she has received proper treatment that would

mented by the amounts returned in
manure and crop residues for the pro-
duction of large crops at least for
thousands of years; whereas if the
supply of phosphorus in the soil is
steadily decreased in the future in &C
cordance with the past and present
most common farm practise, then
poverty is the only future for the
people who till the common agricultu-
raj lands of the United States"
Phosphorus may be applied in lib
ral amounts-as much as 1000 pounds
the acre every three or four years
nd it costs about ST a ton.
After the problem of returning the
elements to the soil has been solved
the farmer may find another condition
of the soil which must be corrected
before his farm will produce as It
should. This is the tendency Of GER
tain soils to acidity. Glover. alfalfa
and other valuable legumes cS2SsSS
thrive upon soil that is sour. Some
times on acid soils when applications
of farm manure are made, the legumes
will seem to grow well, but examina-
ton reveals the fact that the nitrogen
gathering bacteria fail to develop
properly. Hence the most valuable
contribution the legumes have to make
to the soil is largely lost. Upon GER
tain fields belonging to one OF the
most famous agricultural stations in
the world, that Of Rothamstead, Eng
land, applications of natural limestone
were made a century ago. They are
still moderately productive, although
other fields near by, which haye never
received the application, are extreme
ly unproductive.
Care should be taken that lime
stone is used for the one and only pur
nose of correcting soil acidity.

is exactly the same as when men are
exploited in workshops and nothing
returned to build up their bodies You
cannot haul phosphorus and nitrogen
in oats and wheat and corn from your
farms year after year and maintain
the fertility of the soil, if you give
back no phosphorus and nitrogen in
return. Twelve thousand abandoned
farms in the state of New York alone
testify to this. After sixty years of
cultivation the lands of the corn belt
are beginning to hint at the same

THEY GROW HAIR.
Certain Ingredients If Properly
Combined, Stimulate Human
Hair Growth.

ReSOrcin is one of the most ef-
fective germ deStrOyerS ever dis
covered. Beta-naphthol is a most
powerful, yet absolutely safe ger
mlcide and antiseptic which pre-
vents development of germ matter
and creates a clean, healthy con-
ditiOn.
PilOcarpine, although not a col
Oring matter or dye, is an ingre-
dent well established for its pow
er to restore natural color to hui
man hair.
BOrax, because of its well de
fined sOftening and cleansing
prOprieties is most useful in the
treatment of scalp and hair dis
eases. GIycerine acts as a slim
ulant to the hair bulbs, and has
soothing, healing and nOuriSh-
Ing influence. Alcohol is indiS-
penSible in medicine because of its
antiSeptic, stimulating and pre-
sentative qualities.
Rexafl 1893" Hair Tonic is chief
ly composed Of these ingredients,
which are compounded in a pecu-
liar manner, and we believe it is
the most effective remedy known
to medical science for scalp and
hair troubles generally. We per-
SOnally guarantee it to eradicate
dandruff and scalp irritations,
and to grow hair, even though
the scalp in spots is bare of hair,
providing, of course, there is life
and vitality remaining in the
hair roots.
We want every one troubled
with scalp disease, dandruff or
loss of hair to try Rexall 1893"
Hair Tonic. If it does not re-
move uandruff and promote the
growth of hair to the satisfaction
Of the user, we will without queS-
ton or bubble return every cent
paid us for it. This guarantee is
printed on every package. 1t has
affected most satisfactory results
In SO out of 100 eases where put

Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is en-
tlrely unlike and in every partic-
ular different from anything else
we know of for the purpose for
which 1t is recommended. We

Washington, August 22.-The
American people will recall that

ported they found that no part
Of the 81 per cent increase in the
q cost Of living in this country in
the last ten years was due to the

lied at the report.
The phenomenon can now be
planned. The report of the
lnlnOrlty Of the committee, re-
Gently published, shows that the
republicans made no serious at
tempt to ascertain whether the
tariff was responsible or not.
Listen to this extract from the
minority report:
In examining the witnesses,
We, the committee, scarcely have
touched upon the territory of
the highly protected commOdi-
ties"
Lodge, who helped frame the
Payne-Aldrich bill and takes the
position that the ultimate cOnSum-
er is a myth, saw to it that the
investigations were confined al
most exclusively to foOdstuITS
and cotton, and to the production,
distribution and cost to the con-
Sdmer Of wheat, corn, beef, NUT
ton and hog products, of which
commodities the United States
produces large per cent of the
wOrlu'S production, and which
we export In enormous quantities.
As to these articles it may be
supposed that, when freed from
the influence Of trusts and mOnOT-
OlleS the tarnI should not cut a
large figure except that it in
creaseS the cost of their prOduc-
ton.
Do you see the point, Mr.. Con-
:Sumeri Lodge had been assign
ed by Senator Aldrich to make a
report, obviously for campaign
purposes, which would abSOlve
the tariff from all blame in con-
-nectlOu Win The awful increase

lodge evidently concluded that
the safest way to accomplish this
end would be to avoid asking any
questions of witnesses concerning
the advances in the prices of the
highly protected articles such as
the products of the sugar trust,
the steel trust, harvester trust,
and the lumber trust all of whom
. contribute heavily to the repub-
hcan campaign fund.
Inc Lodge report gave fifteen
reasons for increased prices, and
O:ynd that the tariff was mo
material factor" This report is
being used by the men who vot-
ed for the Payne-Aldrich bill in
the hope it will prevent them
from being retired to private life.

A Campaign Canard.
Tart will no longer cooper
ate with Aldrich or Cannon and
Ballinger is to be forced out"
This is the giSt Of statements
carried by the Associated Press,
and obviously inspired by repub-
llcan campaign managers.
The information may be accept
ed as little more than a ruse.
The Republican campaign manag-
ers played the same trick on the
public in the last presidential cleo
ton. The rumOr was quietly cir
"ulated that candidate Taft was
hostile to Speaker Cannon. The
lh-erence was strong that Taft
would be against Cannon as the
speaker. This false rumOr very
Enthusiastically helped Taft in
some insurgent districts.
Immediately after Taft was in
augurated an attempt was made
to defeat Cannon as speaker. The
combined Democrats and lnsur-
gents would have accomplished
this end had not President Taft
used all of the resources at his
command to perpetuate Cannon
as speaker.
Taft is not likely to try to read
Aldrich and Cannon out of the
Republican party, because AID
rich and Cannon ana the special
interests they represent, will not
permit the president to have a re-
nomination if he tries it. Mr..
Taft knows which side his polit-
lcal bread is buttered on.
"rthermOre, there is no rea-
son fer diScOrd. Taft, Aldrich or
Cannon, and Ballinger, too, are
all working to the same end, and
their views on the big questions
are harmonious.
1t was only recently that Taft
eulOgized Aldrich to the skies and
referred to Uncle Joe as being in
the Abraham Lincoln class of
statesmen.
Taft, Aldrich and Cannon, and
particularly Taft and Aldrich, can
have no break. They must sink
or swim together.

been no doubt in my mind on
this point sine March 4, 1909 and
| have repeatedly expressed this
view in these dispatches. But,
though T. R. will not endorse
Taft, he has promised to endorse
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts,, who is notorious
as a tool of Aldrich and special
senate representatives of the tar
Tiff trusts, railroads and other of
the New England corporate inter
eStS. To endorse Lodge is as
bad as to indOrse the Taft adj
miniStratiOn.
But | do not expect to hear of
Roosevelt campaigning for such
genuine prOgreSSiyes as LaFOll-
cite. Roosevelt is playing for the
presidency, and is jealous of La
t'Ollette's popularity.
AT this stage Taft appears to
stand a better chance of hauling
down the next Republican preSl-
dental nomination than does 4.
X. This is because Taft stands
right with the great and power
full corporate interests of the U.
s., and they absolutely control
the Republican machine.
The action of the New York
politicians in turning down RoOSe'
welt as temporary chairman was
a compliment to the ex-preSldent.
The men who opposed him are of
the machine politicians and are
friends of Taft. They knew Y.
K. had made up his mind to re-
fuse an Endorsement of the Taft
administration. and feared to
trust him as temporary chairman
lest he take advantage of the OPP
pOrtunity to discredit the stand
pat organization.
