supply OF natural gas, offers TO the
manufacturer in every class, power

ToNthose who manufacture products

Which Abound in the State IN large
5lqaanaties, and OF unusual purity, more
than ordinary opportunities are offer
ed
While those who are consumers OF
{ great quantities OF power and who
draw their raw materials from other
sections will find 1t more economical
TO bring these raw materials to this
source OF cheap power
AS an Illustration Of this latter fact;
A large industry in the gas belt
of West Virginia, making pro-
duct from raw materials not exist
ing in the State, found it neces-
sary to build another plant. Be
fore doing so. however, every sec

determine the best possible loca- (
ton. The result Of this investiga-
7StioH was to erect the new plant
within eightimiles OF the old one.
AIt Is not as If this natural gas were
located in an out Of the way place,
for"it exists in a section that is sur
rounded on all sides by great industri-

DIET AND HEALTH

Food Specialist
pREscRIRINe OF FOODS.

A writer In the journal of the
American Medical association
says that as drugs are carefully
prescribed in quantity and with
reference to their known effects
so should foods be prescribed
for the sick, not only In dia-
betes, rheumatism and other
ailments In which dletetIc treat
meRt Is acknowledged to be
vitality important, but In all
cases. The coming generation
Of medical men, he says, will
be better qualified to do this,
since tho Importance Of dletetic
treatment is being more general
Iy recognized.

sarcastic ukase against the young men
of that town who have been writing to
Sweden for wives in answer to adyer'
tisements received from that country
The resolutions passed by the young
women Of Peabody are in part as fol-
lows:
"As matter Of State pride we
urge that Kansas men look TO the
girls ut home for brides instead
OF seeking women in foreign
country. We desire TO state that
right here in Peabody there are
young ladies', who, in personal ap-
pearance, education, culture, re-
q flnement and cooking ability are
the peers ofsany women in the
world" ~
The resolution has the right rlpg
and It may help put an end to the
habit so prevalent among young men
OF looking elsewhere for helpineets
than in their own town. Bachelors
have queer ideas concerning women
and quite often none is good enough
They set standard and find that the
girls at home do not live up to- 1t In
its entirety. Every one fails in some
particular. A good cook may have an
impossible wart upon her nose and q
pretty girl may use the crocodile pro-
cess Of chewing gum, The girl from
foreign parts looks good because they
are not acquainted with her. If they
had been brought up with her they
could find enough flaws in the distant
maid to put her out OF the running per-
manently.
But. almost any of the eligible wo'
men is good enough for any bachelor
The bachelor sets a sort of dream, wo-
man Oh a pedestal and then sets out
to find her aud marry her, There is
no use in looking. > She doesn't exist
and the girls, around home are Just as
good as, any,, . ta so Il

OVEN OF COUNTY BOARD or
HEALTH SHOWS GREAT RE-
Suits IN WAR ON DISEASE.

The report on tuberculosis in Wells
county by DR.. Per oven, superintend-
ent of the county board Of health at
Fessenden, shows great results and
progress made in the war against the
encrouchments of the white plague in
that section Of the state.
Wells eouAty is undoubtedly the
first and possibly the only county in the
state that has begun a war on tuber-
culosis on the plan of special attention
to the individual case says DR.. Oyen
in his report. TAll nations making
war on this disease are generally
honey -combed with the disease and
consequently can only adopt general
measures and fight 1t on a big scale.
But in communities where the disease
is Just beginning to get q foothold II
Is possible to give personal attention
to each case.
This is the plan adopted In Wells
county and although 1T is new and III
tried, yet the fundamental principles
are the same as those that underIay
other plans. The campaign has been
carried on one year and 1t Is consider
ed the most efficient and rapid method
for wiping out tuberculosis in the
state. a complete record OF tubercu-
losis in the county was secured and a
list 81 All consumptives and all in
feeted houses were furnigatsd and the
following results have been obtained
In a years time:

splendid proof of the fertility of the
soil and the thrift of it's c~ultivators.
The soil of the territory tributary
to Hatton is a fertile, deep loan, sub
laid with clay, and perfectly adapted
to the cultivation of grains and grass
es that has made the Red river valley
famous The principal grain is wheat
although other small grains are by
no means neglected. The northern
hard wheat produced in the territory
sells at a premium and makes the
best quality of flour and is also IN
great demand by eastern millers to
mix with their winter varieties to
raise the standard of their -four. Corn
is an established crop and is being
cultivated with success and profit to
the growers. A better knowledge of
corn culture in conjunction with the
present productive value of the soil
will in the course of a comparatively
short time place the average corn
production of the territory above that
of the older eastern states. Potatoes.
onions, carrots, turnips and other
varieties of vegetables raised in a
