DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK.
DOdsOn'S LiVer-TORe Gets -Four
Square Guarantee From The
HOWell.Prather Pharmacy.

When an article is sold a druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee, it's a mighty strong proof
of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dod-
sons Liver-Tone. 1t is a pleasant
tasting, vegetable remedy for a slow
and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver-Tone came on the market the
sale of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson' S
Liver-Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to be satisfactory--Calo
is often uncertain, sometimes danger
Gus, and no druggist wants to guar
antee that it won't knock you out of
a days work and maybe send you to
bed.
The Howell-Prather Pharmacy sells
Dodson's Liyer-Tone and guarantees
it. For you and for your children, it's
a good thing to keep a bottle always
in the house.
The Howell-Prather Pharmacy will
give you your money back If you think
Dodson's Liver-Tone is not worth the
price. Keep your liver working and
your liver will not keep you from
working 1t is good advice to so
by.

PLEASED VERY
HIGHLY With
The LECTURES
GIVEN At THE HIGH SCHOOL
Supt. Mathis Pleased With
the Idea

Superintendent Mathis is we'll pleas
ed with the plan that is now being
carried into practice at the High
School of having lectures for the stu
dent body each Friday afternoon at the
closing period Of the school.
Already there have been two lee
lures delivered in the series that are
being enjoyed by the students. The
first of the series was a lecture by
DR.. Taylor Lewis on the general prin-
Ciples of hygiene and health. The sec
ond was a lecture by Miss Annie May
Bell, who dealt with certain phases OF
study.
The third lecture of the series will
likely be given next Friday afternoon
in fact, it is definitely announced for
that time. 1t will be given by DR.
Taylor Lewis, who has already been
heard by the students and who is very
popular here as a practitioner and lee
turer.
Supt. Mathis is so we'll pleased with
the plan that he will continue to have
some capable person address the stu
dents as often as such are available
He believes that the Friday afternoon
lecture is valuable not only in giving
variety to the routine work, but alsc
placing subjects of practical value
before the students in pleasing way

SCIENCE COMES TO
AID OF This BOY
-Four Inches of Bone Used in
Operation

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 25.-Transplant-
ing four inches of bone from the leg
to the spinal column of William Mayor,
an 8-year-old ward of the Henry Wat
son Children's society, DR.. Frederick
H. Albee, of Ne WORK, performed an
operation at the University hospital
which, it is believed, will make the
patient strong and healthy instead OF
a hopeless hunchback.
DIR. Albee is orthopedic surgeon at
the Bellevieu and Roosevelt hospitals,
New York Visiting in Baltimore he
was invited to perform the operation
by DR.. r. Tunstall Taylor, orthopedic
surgeon at the University hospital
Mayor has been an inmate of the
James L. Herman Hospital and Indus
trial School for Crippled Children for
several weeks. 1t was determined that
he was suffering from tuberculosis OF
the spine, a complaint with which DR..
Albee has been able to treat success
fully a number of times.
Dr. Albee made careful measure
ment, finding that it would be neces-
sary to have strip of bone five inches
long in order to connect the yertebrae
on each side of the diseased area. None
of the column itself was removed, but
was split sufficiently to admit the
transplanted bone
This much accomplished, the neces-
sary healthy bone was obtained from
the shin bone of one of the patient 5
legs. An electric saw was used for
this purpose, and the strip removed
was about five inches long about a
quarter of an inch thick and two
inches wide.
Mayor will be placed in a strait-jack-
ct and compelled to lie upon his stom-
ach for at least five weeks. 1t has
been DR.. Albee's experience that the
would heals completely in that time.

the thirteenth century the Latin en-

fearful battle here, after which Adrian

about the year 1861 when the Sultan

it his home and such it remained.
capital of the empire, until the fall
of Constantinople, when 1t was re-

then its career has been uneventful.

was signed the Peace of Adrianople,

this industry decreased slightly from
1904 to 1909. Nearly one-tenth of the
value Of the salt products Of the Unit
ed States was reported from this
state.
In refining Of petroleum Kansas, in
1909, ranked tenth among the states
engaged in this industry.
/ The number of establishments in
Kansas engaged in the manufacture
Of butter, cheese and condensed milk
decreased from III In 1899 to 60 in
1909. This decrease is due to the
discontinuance Of cheese factories
and also to a change In the manner
Of conducting the butter industry.
Many of the small local creameries
which were In operation in 1899 have
been abandoned and central plants
established In the large places. This
decrease in the number Of establish
ments, however, has been accompan-
led by large increases in the guam
tity and value Of creamery products.
The value Of all creamery products
increased s2,124,2S5, from 1899 to
1904. As in many other industries
the increases In value were much
greater than those in quantity.
While the newspaper and periodical
branch Of the printing and publishing
industry in Kansas does not show
much growth during the last decade
when measured by the number of
publications, there was a very decid-
ed gain when the industry is meas
ured by the aggregate circulation per
issue. The daily, weekly and Sunday
publications show increases in num-
Der from 1904 to 1909, while the
semiweeklies and triweeklies and the
monthlies show decreases. The ag-
gregate circulation yer issue for all
newspapers and periodicals published
in Kansas in 1909 was 2,7O3,594,
which Is an increase Of 1889 1886
since 1904.

Kansas being one Of the foremost
wheat growing states, ranks third

II establishments, the value Of whose

for this industry in 1909.
Although the cement industry ranks
low in value Of products among those

was practically all Portland cement,
and over 90 per cent was reported
from five counties located in the

value Of products increased from ST.

Washington, May Occurring the
past decade the population of Kansas
has increased 22O,464, according to
United States census bureau report
just issued. In 1900 the population
of Kansas was 1,470,4 95, and in 1910,
when the last census was completed
was 1,69O,949.
Along with its increase of popula-
ton the Sunflower state has made
some rapid strides in manufactures
Kansas is not prominently a manu-,
featuring state. It's manufactures
have been largely the outgrowth Of
its extensive agricultural resources
while, in recent years, they have
been further stimulated by the devel
opment Of rich zinc and coal mines
and by the discovery Of oil and gas
The total value Of manufactured pro.

5000, while in 1909 1t was 1925,

Slaughtering and meat packing and
the flour mills and gristmills are
largely responsible for this rapid
growth, these two industries together
contributing in 1909 nearly three
fourths Of the total value Of products
Other manufacturing industries, how
ever, also show considerable growth.
In 1909 Kansas had S,435 mannfac
turing establishments, which gave en-
ployment to an average Of 54,649 per

people of Newberry are called upon
to make subscriptions to the college in
