Country Keeping Pace with the City

A drive through. the country just
now in any direction would make one
believe that we are living in the corn
belt instead of being "way up at the
north pole Many fields of corn stand
much higher than a mans head with
we'll matured ears hanging from every
stalk. A large crop of oats and hay
has been harvested, and farmers are
adding to their dairy herds and building
big barns and silos. There will be an
abundance of feed hereabouts this
year and the. price will be high.

TRANSPLANT BONE IN SPINE
New Operations for Cure Of
Hunchbacks Succeed.

An important step in the >treatment or
Potts disease OF the spine from which
hundreds Of children in the tenement house
districts are suffering. was announced yes
terday by the New York Association for
Improving the Condition OF the Poor in its
annual report. DR.. Frederick II. Albee, at
tending surgeon at the Sea Preeze Hos
pital. where the association has demon
strated the efficacy OF salt air treatment
for tuberculosis OF the spine. joints and
glands. has performed several successful
operations.
At the Sea Breeze Hospital the deformity
of hunchback IS corrected by keeping the
patients on Bradford frames for long
periods Some Of The patients have been on
Bradford frames for rs long as three years.
To retain this correction Of deformity has
been the most serious problem
By transplantirg a portion Of the bone
Of the patients leg directly into the spine
there has been secured a firm. bony bridge
connecting the diseased vertebrB with the
Healthy ones on either side. This furnishes
perfect support. and the bone graft holds
the correction.
Recurrence Of the deformity has also been
prevented by splitting the spineous processes
end uniting the right hall OF the upper
vertebran with the left half Of the next low
er vertebra.. This union also forms a firm,
bony bridge.
Six patients in the hospital have been sue
cessfully operated upon so far but none
has az yet been discharged. The rapidity
of convalesccnce will permit of a greater
number Of patients being treated annually,
and the permanency OF cure will reduce the
expense OF follow-up work. which has been
done on a large scale by the association at
the Sea Breeze Hospital

A O0-N0THlNG SESSION
Representative Mann Says Dem
ocrats Have No Policy.


Washington, Nov. 2S-Predicting a do
nothing Congress. Representative James
r. Mann minority leader OF the House
reached Washington to-day. cast critical
eye over the legislative situation and gave
out an interview in which he arraigned the
Democratic plans for tine coming season.
This will be a do-nothing session Of
Congress Mr.. Mann declared. Beyond
their determination 70 destroy the pro-
tective tariff system and thereby encourage
imports manufactured in foreign countries.
the Democrats have no fixed policy. They
are guided by no principles Their forces
are destructive, not constructive. They
wish to tear down but do not know how
TO build up. The Democratic House or
REPRESENTATIVES has already put the coun-
try on the blink. The question Of the
biz trusts and combinations is entirely be-
yond them They neither understand nor
appreciate business conditions or business
development. They will not illumine the
situation"
Representative Mann believes that the
session VIII "dawdle along until october.
like a derelict at sea- The House, he
thinks. will accept the leadership OF Mr.. Tn
derwood in his efforts to destroy the pro-
tective system and substitute foreign made
goods for home made goods. but in other
matters It will be without leadership.
Continuing his prophecy, the minority
leader said: In appropriations the Demo-
cratic House will be penurious where 1t
ought TO be liberal and eXtravagant where
II ought TO be economical. The only fixed
principle Of the Democratic majority is to
assault successful business
Representative Mann declares that the
country wants "a revision Of the tariff
along the lines of proper protection ana
not the destruction Of protected business
