Trefz Favors Big
Business Concerns

Edward F. Trefz, speaking to the
Omaha Ad Mems club at the Henshaw
hotel, said the advertising man stood be-
tween the people and business depression.
lie attacked fraudulent advertisers and
dishonest advertising men, saying their
methods are dead wrong; wrong as bunco
steering or the gold-brick game, and
laws ought to be passed to prohibit mis-
representations in advertisements"
Mr. Trefz declared in favor OF big
business, because when the dissolution
Of the trusts has been effected 1.-The
ultimate cost OF operation will be in
creased and the consumer will pay for
it. 1t is my opinion that the people who
have been yelling for dissolution of the
tobacco trust and the Standard oil trust
will be clamoring for them again within

Munroe Finds West
is Most Prosperous

]. A, Munroe. vice president in charge
of traffic OF the Union Pacific and the
Oregon Short Line has returned from a
months inspection of the western roads
of the Hartman system, his trip having
taken him through Idaho, Washington,
oregon. Utah and California, Upon his
return he found a huge bouquet of Ameri-
can Beauty roses, the gfft of the forces
of the traffic department.
Everywhere Mr.. Munroe found condi-
tions most prosperous, with future pros
poets most excellent. Through the coun-
try which he Visited universally during
the last year crops have been good and
successfully marketed. In Idaho there
has been an immense crop of grain, hay
and potatoes, which have been widely
marketed and at good prices, due in a
measure no doubt, TO the short crops in
some of the states to the east.
The development Of Idaho, Mr.. Munroe
says, has been marvellous and is still
going on, sage brush land being rapidly
transformed into grain and orchards.
New. towns are being started and are
very progressive, as is evidenced by the
miles of concrete walks, electric light
and water plants and school buildings,
which are of the best designs and thor
oughly up-to-date.
In southern California. and particularly
in Los Angeles, Mr.. Munroe found that
conditions have taken on new life, and
the people are exceedingly hopeful and
optimistic.
The interests between California and
, the middle west, according to Mr.. Mum
roe, are growing rapidly daily and will
inure to the upbuilding of the entire
west half of the United States, every
body realizing that this is going to be
helpful TO all sections.

A CONSUMPTION CURE.
BY B. j. Kendall, M, D,

Milk strippings when taken from a
healthy cow that gives very rich milk
and taken in quantities of a quart
twice day Immediately after milk
ing, before it-cools any, will cure a
larger per cent of cases of consump-
tion than any other treatment and
will cure in half the time of any other
method. Will also prevent it when
taken in time. The reason why it is
so successful is because 1T is absorbed
or transfused into the circulation al
most Immediately without taxing the
digestive organs, as all other foods
do, and as the strippings or last quart
of the milking from COW that gives
very rich milk is nearly all cream, the
patient will take. on fat SO much fast
er than can be accomplished by any
other method that they soon gain
enough strength and vitality to over
come the germs causing consumption.
To get best results one should begin
with glass of strippings and increase
gradually, but if there is any disgust
for it created at any time the quantity
should be dropped at once to one-half,
and then increase gradually again. In
two or three weeks they can usually
take quart in the morning and even
ing.
q a. 1t is very important to take it i'm
mediately after milking, so as not to
allow it to cool below blood heat. In
cold weather it should be MIXED into
dish resting in warm water to pre-
vent it from cooling any.

by this spray. One of the most effec
tive remedies to prevent ants from
climbing the fruit trees and eating the
young buds is to tie a fluffy band Of
cotton about the trunk of the tree.
Ants will very rarely go over this
fluffy band. 4.
When grasshoppers are small It is
best to kill them by spraying with
strong soapsuds. kerosene emulsion,
and the like. This will kill them by
closing up their breathing pores, then
suffocating them. 1t is also possible
to poison young grasshoppers with
arsenic. This is best done by using
what is known as "criddle mixture" 4"
This is simply fresh barnyard manure
mixed with. slop and Paris green.
After the grasshoppers are more than
half-grown, it is out of the question
to try to kill them by spraying. They
are then too lively to reach with a
suffocating spray, and cannot be cas-
lily poisoned. A great deal of good
can be done by coating the plants you
wish to protect with a Bordeaux
spray, as the copper in this leaves a
metallic taste which the grasshoppers
cannot stand. When spraying for
grasshoppers make the Bordeaux as
follows: Bluestone, pounds; good
lime, pounds; water, so gallons
Dissolve the bluestone by suspending
it in sack in 25 gallons of water in
barrel Slake the lime in another
vessel, adding water slowly to make
25 gallons of lime milk. Pour the two
at the same time in another vessel,
allowing them to mix thoroughly as
they are poured in. If there is not
enough lime in the water it will burn
the foliage of the plants to which it is
applied To test this, take saucer
iuli Oh the miAeuFe and add lew
drops of a solution Of ferrocyanide of
potash made one ounce to the half
pint of water If a brown color ap-
pears more lime must be added till
no change takes place when the test
is applied.
