PREDICTS $500
LAND IN IOWA
ROBERT DENNY OF DIES MONIES
COUNTY, SEES GREAT
FUTURE .4

Burlington, Nov. fl expect to see
Iowa farm lands go to $500 an acre IN
ten years." said Robert j. Denny OF
Burlington, well known retired
farmer, yesterday afternoon. There
are still greater possibilities in the IN
crease of production from our SOIL. AS
the land increases in price, the produc-
tiveuess will be made to increase. we
are not getting nearly all possible out
of the farm acres, and In time we Will
learn more of the economy and enrich
ment of the SOIL When land Is worth
$500 an acre it will be worth that
much more in its productiveness. That
is the productiveness Of the land Will
really be no more costly to the tenant
or owner than it is at present. When
first knew anything about land, say
along in so, it was then just as costly
If not more so at sixteen and twenty
dollars an acre as 1t is now at 800.
Then we got ten cents q bushel for
corn, and did not raise nearly as much
corn to the acre as we do now at 90
cents bushel.
81 notice a tendency among invest
ors of late to put money into farm
lands instead Of into other business
propositions. The stability OF land
values is one reason, and the great IN
dustrial unrest is another. Men ap'
pear to feel that their money is sater
in real estate than anywhere else. the
fact that the demand on crop lands is
growing heavier every year gives as
surance Of the stability of farm lands
as a permanent investment" .

FOR TY PHO1O.
DRAKE FACULTY INTRODUCES
& BAcILLI 70 HEAD OFF RAW
:, AGING plsEAsE. 81,

Des Moines, Nov. "a new typhoid
fever preventive is in Des Moines.
Two billion. fve hundred million ty-
phoid bacilli, entering the system in
three distinct doses. makes the individ-
ual proof against the fever. The first
dose is 500, 600, 900. Eight days are given
for rest and meditation after this be-
ginning. The second needle load ad-
ministered at the end Of eight days
contains 1000, 900, 900 typhoid germs Of
some sort. Eight days Of rest and the
third "shot in the arm sends another
cool billion bacilli racing through the
system. Then the victim is proof
against typhoid for the rest of his ma
ural life.
Members of the faculty Of the Drake
medical school are experimenting WITH
this new found preventive for typhoid.
The treatment was first tried upon the
Junior and senior classes. The nurses
Of the Methodist hospital. who have
charge of the typhoid patients. Will be
fnoculated Immediately. Other expert
ments with the new idea will be MADE
and the local medical authorities Will
institute a thorough test Of the treat
ment. s. . . 49,.
. Vaccination for typhoid has been In
vogue In the east for year The treat
citation for smallpox.
The operation is very simple. The
three treatments, while having num-
bers enough to scare most nnatnema-
ticians, are small doses for the oFdin-
airy hypodermic needle The Injection
is made just under the skin and Us
practically painless. Unlike the treat
ment for smallpox. little II any reae-
ton takes place. Most Of the patients
show no symptoms whatever OF ty.
pf1oid, while others have the slishtest
of attacks The treatment also has the
virtue of not leaving scar, as 90
well developed cases OF the small
pox variety.
The members OF the class and the
nurses treated with it will be watche;i
with interest by the medical men of the
city. An attempt also will be made "a
make use Of this vaccination in the
first typhoid epidemic OF the state in
order to test It's efficiency.
