THE OWACROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Direct.
or of Weather Bureau.
Des Moines, Iowa.

Des Moines, Iowa.
For week ending May |, 1911.
The fore part of the week was cool
with frost, and in some localities ice
on three nights, but the latter half
was warmer; the mean temperature
being slightly above the normal al
though the temperature on the morn
ing of May LIST was near or below the
freezing point in the northwestern
half of the state. Light, but fairly
well distributed showers occurred
on the 26th and moderate to heavy
rains fell over the southern sections
on the nights of the 2Sth and the 29th
with more general rains on the night
Of the 30th, which changed to or was
mixed with snow over the northern
counties on the morning OF May LIST.
The week, however, was favorable for
field work and rapid progress was
made in blowing for corn. A large
acreage has been prepared and in
many sections the blowing Is nearly
finished Some corn has been planted
and planting will be general during
the coming week if favorable weather
prevails. Grass is growing rapidly
since the late showers and stock are
being turned onto pasture. Small
grains are showing up nicely and are
In good condition. The early yarie'
ties of fruit are In full bloom in the
southern, and cherry and plum trees
are beginning to blossom in the cen.
trail counties. The cool wave now APP
preaching from the northwest. will
cause freezing temperatures in many
sections of the state and the fruit
buds may be damaged.

Market Notes.

Cattle Tuesday met fairly good
demand. II was about a steady mar.
ket on steers. but without any under
lying strength worth talking about.
The stocker and feeders trade was
necessarily of small volume but was
featured by continued indifference of
the country toward strong weight
fieshy feeders and by broadening
demand for stockers, steers and for
thin heifers-both COWS and heifers.
Scarcity Tuesday put matured NUT
tons on a strong to higher price basis
and good demand helped the best
light lambs, both wooded and shorn
stock, to a stronger level. Such kinds
sold fully steady with last Friday.
Weight In lambs encountered some
discrimination and Mondays best
prices could not. in all cases, be Sc
cured. Aside from a few loads of
heavy lambs, everything was cleaned
up before noon.

quick. Among them are Isaac Sharp

NJ. Jones. They have united in the
following appeal, which is self-ex-
planatory:
"Haverford, Pa, April 25.-Dear
Penn College, Oskaloosa, Iowa, which
annually sends a well prepared stu
dent to Haverford College. that their
conditions are quite serious owing to
a rule of the state legislature that
colleges in order to be fully recogniz-
ed must have at least 100000 of en-
dowment. Penn College had about
half this amount, but has succeeded
by great efforts in increasing the
figures until so far as we know they
are some 100000 short of the needed
100000. which must be raised by
Sixth mouth LIST next.
The president makes a strong APP
peal to us to aid them in the matter,
ard while Haverford as an institution
has no direct interest in the case,
the importance of the western colleg-
es to the Society of Friends is such
that we are willing to present the
case to a few friends, which we are
doing by sending identical letters to
a number of Philadelphia Friends
who may be interested.
IF the matter appeals to thee, eth
er of the undersigned would be glad
to convey to the President of Penn
College any response, or he may be
addressed directly.

The advance made in hogs yester.
day was all lost to-day. The run was
not excessive being less than the
estimate, and the quality throughout
was good. The absence of heavy ord.

packers a good firm grip on the stu,

ing slow weak selling all day at
cents lower than yesterday and al
the close o shade below this. Many
thousands were LETT over but these
are expected to be picked up by the
packers late in the day at their own
offer and but few of them will be
found in first hands tomorrow. The

Tables Turned on Med
ical Doctors in North
Dakota.

The medical doctors of North Dakota
are experiencing dose OF their own
/ medicine They have been making a
very severe fight on the rights and
privileges of osteOpaths. and now some
one has introduced a measure. which has
passed both Houses and which Is up to
the governor for signature, which will
greatly restrict and limit the practice OF
surgery. The Joke of it is. to, that the
medical doctors never got wind OF 1t
until the measure had gotten through
both Houses and was only lacking the
signature OF the governor to become
law Their state legislative committee
Immediately got busy. and the governor
Is being bCmbarded with provisions ask
inc him to veto the bill The sections of
the bill which are causing the excitement
are as follows:
Sec. 3 No major operation shall be
performed on any patient in any licensed
hospital except IN an emergency, until
the attending physician or surgeon has
filed with the superintendent of the hos
pital statement giving the reasons and
pathological conditions that render the
operatiOn necessary. This statement
must also be approved and signed by an
independent qualified physician, not to
be in any way 4 financial beneficiary
from the operation.
Sec. 6. Where major operation Is for
the removal of a diseased organ or It's
sue the superintendent of the hospital
must preserve a specimen Of the dis
eased tissue in such manner as the
director of the state public health labor
atorv may direct, and forward the same
with the clinical history to the director
of the state public health laboratory,
within one week after the operation.
The director of the public health labora-
tory shall examine such tissue and make
such report as ne deems necessary. which
report shall be made to and kept on file
at the hospital.
The allOpaths are never averse to tax
ing hand in regulating any system of
therapeutics which does not agree with
their own, but that anyone should have
the temerity to attempt to regulate
them, seems to grieve and agitate the
medical doctors of North Dakota
1t has come 10 such a pass that we
must have this kind OF a law in Texas,
as thousands are being killed off in the
prime of life by these INSCRIPTIONS
villains who scare people into operations
for whatever they can bleed them for,
and then leave them to either die from
the operations or lead a miserable,
worse than death sort of life afterwards.
We can cure You by OsteOpathy so
much easier and surer before an oper-
alton than after you have been cut to
pieces, as we are never sure what we
can do for you then Don't risk your
life
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-04-15

There never was a more vital question
asked than what Is causing one-third of
the people of the United States TO die
in the prime of life with consumption,
and one-fGurth with typhoid fever.
How can | escape 1t? Let US look at it
with common every day/horse sense If
YOU had the smallpox or measles and
would try TO heal up the sores instead
of heating up the body and creating
circulation and getting them TO break out
as much as possible, what would happen
Did YOU ever see any body die with
measles going in on them or smallpox?
1t goes right to the lungs and intestines,
which ever is the weakest it settles in.
If to lungs it fills them up just as in
pneumonia. or quick consumption, and
they die the same kind Of death as a
cOnsumptive. If the intestines or diges-
tive organs are weakest then the con-
ditiOns are identical with the conditions
of typhoid fever. Then anything that
would have a tendency to weaken one
of these organs or stop the cleansing of
the blood by means of any sore would
cause one of these diseases. Now YOU
have the whole thing in a nutshell You
take and eat more than YOU should of
rich food until YOU OverwOrk the liver
and digestive organs Or use highly
seasoned foods. Or take stimulants and
exhaust them. Then when they begin to
lag and cannot keep up your pace; do
you fast or diet yourself and eat easily
digested or fluid food and plenty of
fruit so the acid of the fruit can fer
ment the food and help digest it Do
you do this and help rest the tired over
worked nerves to the digestive organs?
You have sense enough TO rest your arms
when the nerves TO them are tired Or
do YOU take a dose of calomel OF some
other kind OF physie and whip 1t up?
Until the poor oveT-wOrked nerve SAYS |
can't do any more and it draws down OF
the spine and paralyzes or deadenS the
nerve until 1t will no longer force cir
eulation in the part and stagnant blood
begins to accumulate. And the intes-
tines are flabby and fall down in the
abdomen and rest on the other organs.
Now you begin to have Indigestion, head
aches; and more physics are resOrted to
until these digestive organs are so weak
the whole weight of them and the ac-
of food not digested weigh :
on the organs below until they are ]
pressed on and cause troubles there If I
