 LOCAL PEOPLE
MUNYoN's "NEW HEALTH" IDEAS
 ACHIEVING MARKED SUCCESS

The extraordinary success attained at Prof. Munyon's laboratories, 53d and Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, by the practice of the new health" the ories of Prof. James M Munyon in the treatment of disease has become a matter of wide comment. That Munyon has won the heart of the peo- pie is shown by the large number of people who call on him in a continu- ous stream at his laboratories Many of those who call are returning to tell of great benefit received from the Munyon's new treatment
 Hardly an hour can be passed in the drug store, but some one returns to tell of a remarkable case cured or helped by this Munyon treatment. One woman who came in said:
 T want to see Dr. Munyon to tell him what his remedies have done for. me all my life. When I was a little girl my mother used to give me his remedies every time I got sick, and they always brought me through. We had nothing else in the house.
 Now I am married and have my own family of dear little children we still have nothing but Munyon's reme- dies in the house. We are the health fest and happiest family in the city, and neither myself nor any of my children have ever in our lives taken any other medicines but Munyon's, that is, except once. My little girl had a terrible attack of indigestion, and I called a doctor. He gave her some medicine, but it didn't help her. Then I ran to my medicine chest and got some of Munyon's indigestion rnunodu and within hour ch xrroc resting easy It was the same way with my grandmother. She had the most severe case of rheumatism ever saw. Doctors treated her, and we did everything we could think of, but she kept getting worse all the time. begged her to see Dr. Munyon, but she said she had no faith in these new fangled medicines
 Finally, however, she consented to come in, and purchased the full uric acid treatment. It worked just as all of Dr. Munyon's remedies have WOrked-perfectly Within a week her rheumatism had entirely disap- peared, and now she has not trace of it. You see what I think of Dr. Nun yon l can never say enough for him"

WOOD ASHES HELP ORCHARD
Apple Trees and Fruit Where LiberaIIy Treated.
(By A. J. LEGG.)

(By A. J. LEGG.)
 If we could calculate the value of wood ashes as commercial fertilizers are valued we would have near the following value per ton for the plant food given a value in commercial fer tilizers.
 12O pounds of potash SOS at :. $500 40 pounds of phosphoric acid
 $500
 The same amount of potash is found in 200 pounds of sulphate of potash and practically the same amount of phosphoric acid is found in 250 pounds of 16 per cent. acid phos- phate, so ton of wood ashes is worth about the same as a fertilizer 25O pounds of good grade acid phos- phate and 200 pounds of sulphate of potash.
 True the plant food is in a more available form in the commercial fer tilizers but the tons of wood ashes also contains about 700 pounds of lime which Is especially valuable to the clover and other leguminous crops.
 Last winter we put wood ashes about some apple trees, 25 to 40 pounds was scattered around each tree, as far around as the branches reached. A marked improvement in both the trees and the fruit was no- ticed last summer in spite of the un- favorable early season.
 The wood ashes can be prof1tably applied to the garden, the meadow or in fact almost any crop except potatoes.
 If wood ashes are applied to the potato crop it produces conditions favorable to potato scab.
 There is not much loss of plant food when wood ashes are applied to the soil at any season of the year since potash and phosphoric acid are not easily washed out of the soil The ashes should not be mixed with the manure or any other nitrogenous manure as the lime in the ashes may cause loss of nitrogen.
 If mixed with acid phosphate the lime in the ashes will combine with the phosphoric acid and render 1t un- available.
 On many farms there is a few hun dred pounds of ashes produced that are worth saving and applying to the soil, then where numbering is carried on extensively there are tons of wood ashes produced each year that are worth hauling for several miles and applying to the soil.

OLD SOLDIER WISHES TO HELP SUF- FERERS FROM KIDNEY, LIVER AND
 BLADDER TROUBLES.

I am frequently troubled with kid ney and bladder trouble, especially in the Spring and Fall. Being an old vet eran of the Civil War, little exposure or cold settles on my kidneys, and then I am laid up with kidney or blad- der trouble. Your Swamp-Root was recommended to me number of years ago, and took number of bottles of it and was more than pleased with the results. I consider Swamp-Root the greatest and best kidney medicine on the market, and it never fails to give quick results in kidney trouble, blad- der trouble and lame back
 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root has done me so much good that I feel if any words of mine will be the means of relieving any poor sufferers, that you are at liberty to use this letter as you see fit. Yours very truly,

Fine Sentiment.

Tn an English home at Winchester we find above the lintel ~H the door this charming sentiment: Farewell goes out signing; welcome ever smiles" and a hall panel has, ''The Lord keep thee in thy going out and coming in." We are all familiar with the Italian word "salve," meaning well come. that Is found quite often in the vestibules of hotels or public houses where meals are served. It Is not an advertisement for salve, as a man from the country with more money than brains told his wife.

TRACTION FLOWING IN WEST
Among Advantages Is Fact That Work Can Be Rushed When Con-
 dItions Are Favorable.

On the large farms of the great plains and the ranches of California traction engines-both steam and extent in farming operations, espe- cially in blowing land. The make shift outfits formerly used for this purpose have been largely replaced by heavier and stronger engines and gang blows especially designed for this use.
 The advantages of traction blowing are CD that the work can be rushed when conditions are favorable; CD that the work can be done with a smaller force of hands, and fewer horses have to be kept; (3) in hot dry weather engines can be used when horses could not stand the work; (D with an engine 1t is possi- ble to blow very difficult soils, and also to blow deeper than with horses; and (5) under favorable conditions, the cost of traction blowing has been brought lower than that of blowing with horses.
 The steam engines weigh from ' to 20 tons, range from 20 to 50 horse power, cost from $1.500 to $6,000, and will blow from 15 to 50 acres a day.
 A traction blowing outfit consists of CD an engine; (2) the blows or disks arranged in gangs; and (3) miscellaneous conveniences for car rying supplies, making repairs, etc. The size and cost of the outfit and the amount of work it will do depend largely on the number of blows oper- ated.

Mr.. Cavanagh owns ten yoke of oxen
himself and by borrowing from his
neighbors managed to collect forty
eight yoke, or ninety-six oxen alto
gether. With these attached to a gayly
decorated OK cart he made the trip,
covering the distance of about twenty
miles in five hours. The services of
twelve drivers were needed to guide
the animals on the road.
The line of cattle stretched for more
than a quarter of a mile along the
road, and 1t took them five minutes to
pass a given point. On his arrival at
the fair grounds Cavanagh found that
he and his cattle attracted more atten-
ton than any other exhibit on the
