Much Damage Done

THE NEAL CURE
FOR ALCOHOLISM
Excessive Drinkers Regain Self-Mastery in Three
Days at Neal InStittt'.
Not SOLDERING Up Process But Removal of ALI Appetite
for Alcoholic Liquor.

Three days of the Neal Treatment
at the Neal Institute ends all desire
for drink for any excessive drinker.
The thinking man or woman nat
urally asks: How can an appetite
for liquor that took so long to ac-
quire be cured in so short a timer"
The Neal way does 1t by removing
the cause of this craving or so-called
appetite. This appetite or carving
for liquor is caused by the stored-up
alcoholic poison in the cells Of the
body. NeutraliEe and eliminate from
the system this stored-up alcoholic
poison and you have removed the
appetite. This alcoholic poison will
not be eliminated without first being
neutralized, and that is why the ex-
cessive drinker cannot stop drinking
without medical help. No matter
how long he goes without drinking,
he still has in his body this stored
up alcoholic poison, which sooner or
later Will cause the craving for alco-
hol to overcome his will power and
start him on another spree.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
CONTINUED from Page one.)

1t was about a year ago that
the suggestion was made in this
column that NEW YORK CITY
could well afford to spend a
million dollars a year in adver-
Using its advantages in the
newspapers throughout the
United States-that is, it could
tell about it's MANUFACTURE
ING industries, its great HO-
Tells, its great stores and the
great BUSINESS done gen
orally.
How suggestions take root is
illustrated by the fact that the
IDORLAND ADVERTISING
AGENCY conceived the plan of
getting several New York hotels
to contribute various sums of
money for the purpose of adver-
Using NEW YORK CITY AS A
SUMMER RESORT.
Some very attractive copy has
been prepared, in the shape of
pages and half pages. The copy
tells of the various sights in
New York worth seeing-the at
fractions it has to offer, its ac-
feasibility to the beaches, ETC.,
then follows list of the various
hotels contributing to the fund.
don't know how much money
has been collected, but judging
from the amount of copy put out
so far, / should say that between
$4,000 and $4,000 has been
expended in telling people all
over the country about New
York City.
There is no doubt about the
EFFECT this advertising will
have, and the RESULTS, I am
sure, WILL JUSTIFY the bust
ness interests of New York in
instituting next year AN EVEN
MORE EXTENSIVE CAM
PAIGN.
Communities everywhere
should advertise their strong
points in other cities in the
United States.
ADVERTISING of the right
kind will INCREASE POPULA-
TION-WILL BRING MONEY
FOR INVESTMENT PUR-
POSES - will bring about
NEEDED REFORMS AND I'M
PROVEMENTS.
There is nothing that adver-
Using cannot do.

independence, Mo-, Aug. THAT gold
in paying quantities has been found
on farm in this county is the asser-
ton of John Allison of 7o2 West South
avenue, Independence. owner OF tn]
farm. The place is five miles nortn-
east of Independence. and one mile
northeast of Courtney.
Mr.. Allison has two reports OF assays
made by the Kansas City testing Ia
horatory of samples which, he says
were taken from his farm. One sam
pie assayed by DIR. Cross showed $500
of gold to the ton, and a quantity o.
silver. Another sample assayed by
DIT. Cross was reported by him TO have
yielded a rate of $4.93 of sold to the
ton.
The Allison farm consists of Ma
acres on the Missouri river bluffs. 1t
was purchased April I3. this year, from
Mrs. Julia A. Howell and others. Tie
consideration named in -he deed was
land. A deep ravine cuts into it from
the edge of the bluffs. II Is in slue
of that ravine that Allison says he
found the gold bearing sand.
I heard some time ago there was
gold on the place." Allison said in In
prospect. The sample showing $3.50 to
the ton was taken from about eight
feet below the TOP of the ground. the
sample showing $4.93 to the ton was
taken from a 0GPI1 OIL 10 OF 10 LSSt.
Since the assays were made we have
been finding sand that looks as If it
was richer than the samples -
Allison, who was formerly a found
ryman, is al elderly mar and has re-
tired frcn active business. He has
taken his brother-in-law, W. W.
Curtis, in with MIN. Curtis owns a
little grocery stare across the street
iron, Allison's home. Curtis said his
morning:
Il have been out west a good deal
among the miners, though never
actually mined myself. 1 am told II
pays to work gold bearing material OF
this kind that yields SO to $3.50 Per
ton. We will do more thorough pros
pecting and if our hopes are confirm
ed that there are large quantities OF
gold in the land, we will arrange &c
work it energetically. We have
guard there now
The samples exhibited by Allison and
Curtis consist of coarse sand in Jumps
that may be crushed in the fingers
That can be worked at much less ex-
pense. it is said, than gold quartz;
Mr.. Allison has a wonderful mine,
if he he's enough of it." a returned
Alaskan traveller said this morning
