An Automobile Plough.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Inventions are now in the making that
will radically modify the economic status
OF the farmer. Many agricultural prob.
lens will be solved by new machinery
that is at the present time in process Of
development.
Take ploughins. for example. Most labo-
rious and most expensive of all agricultu-
raj operations, it uses up more of the farm
ers time than any other work he has to
do. The question naturally suggests itself,
cannot we find some easier way to turn the
soil over and stir it up2
An Omaha man, named Jardine, him
self farmer. claims to have solved this
problem by the invention of an entirely
new continuance for the purpose. which.
according to the inventor. requires less
than half the power used by the mold
board plough. So important does it ap-
pear that the president of the Union Pacific
Railroad, after seeing rough home made
model at work. turned over to the inventor
the facilities of his great shops at Omaha.
and placed at his disposal the services of
his chief engineer. in order that the device
might be perfected.
The plough is an automobile. Its prin-
cipal feature is big cylinder, eight feet
long, five feet in diameter and weighing
six or seven tons, which forms the hind
wheels of the machine. The cylinder is
covered with sharp pointed steel teeth, six.
eight or ten inches in length. AS it rolls
over the ground the teeth stick into the
soil and carry the latter up over the cylin-
der. A second cylinder. close behind. like
wise provided with teeth. rakes the earth
off and drops it back in a finely pulverized
condition.
Now, a team of horses. engaged in plough
ing travels mile and half, or possibly
as much as two miles, an hour. A trac-
ton power plough covers ground at a rate
Of two and quarter miles an hour. per-
haps. But it is claimed for this new auto
mobile plough that it runs so light that it
travels from four to five miles an hour. and
does better job.

Victory Der The Grave.
Mr.. KENDALL, OF WASHINGTON, To EXPLAIN
How THE Victory Is To Be OBTAINED.

Death and Hell to Deliver Up Their Dead &"
Victory Der the Grave" is the subject
of Mr.. S. C. Kendall's free Bible lecture at
the Seco Theatre Sunday evening at 7:30
O'Clock. December 28th.
Many are showing interest in the series
of |. B. S. A. lectures now being given here.
The first lecturer laid the ground work. dis
cussine Gods plan of salvation in general
describing what lies beyond the grave.
The second lecturer showed the necessity
of Christ's Second Coming, which. accord
ing to the third lecturer, is to bring to all
victory DER the grave. While this lecture
is to be a continuation Of the last, it is
claimed that any one Of the lectures is in
itself complete Bible study, intensely in
teresting. This series Of Bible lectures is
being given the world over. and is creating
considerable renewed interest in Bible
study.

Disease OF sufrragottes.

According to several medical authorities
the sutfraeette suffers from a definite ner
vous disorder in more or less violen
uegree. The medical term for the com
plant is tarantism.
Inc uisease, In its incipient stages al
least, is durable. The malady is chief,
confined to women and is classified witt
81. Vitus' dance. Special investigations in
the matter have been made by DR.. A. d
Shipley, of Cambridge, England, and by Ger
man scientists. who confirm his opinion.
Inc malady completely baffled the ply
sicians of early times. Between the four
teenth and sixteenth centuries il spread
throughout Europe.
Medical authorities believe that the pres
ent demonstrations, especially in England
are simply a recurrence of this ancient
disease.
The symptoms of tarantism may be
readily recognized. One of the most com
mon habits of the sufferer is the monoto
nous and rhythmical utterance of some
word or short phrase.
In more advanced STAGES there is a loss
OF self-contr0l. II is suggested by some
medical writer's that the sufferer should be
deprived of personal liberty, even in the
early stages Of the malady.
The sufferers have been found to show
a marked preference for certain colors or
combinations of colors. Many of the pa
tlents are violently affected by music and
their paroxysms are brought on by music,
or at least much increased in violence.
These symptoms have much in common
with st. Vitus' dance, whose victims are
also affected by certain colors and by
music.
The treatment far tarantism is similar to
that employed with more familiar nervous
disorders. The patient is removed as much
as possible from all excitement. A COM
plete change Of air and scene is usually
prescribed.
Only the simplest foods are permitted
and the sufferer is encouraged to take as
much outdoor exercise as possible, together
with cold baths and vigorous MASSAGE.
Such treatment has been found to bring
relief within a few weeks.
II has been found that even when the
sufferer seems to have lost all control over
her understanding she will be found suffi-
GENTLY composed at intervals to obey the
instructions the doctor or attendants may
give.
II has been found extremely difficult to
work complete cure in the more violent
cases which have been neglected. Years
after the victim has apparently been COM
pletely restored to her normal health any
undue excitement is likely to bring on a
relapse and recurrence of the distressing
symptoms.

Wilson Scores CarabaO Order In
Open Rebuke.

President Wilson last Monday afternoon
issued a general reprimand to officers Of
the army and navy responsible for the
program at the recent Cardiac dinner in
Washington.
The President, in his letter to Secretary
of War Garrison and Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels asking them to administer the
reprimand, was severe in his criticism of
the burlesque which featured the perform
ance. His letter read as follows:
ALLOW me to thank you for your report
on the action Of certain officers Of the
army and navy at the recent dinner Of the
Military Order of the Cardiac The officers
who were responsible for the program Of
the evening are certainly deserving Of a
very serious reprimand. which hereby re-
quest to be administered: and cannot
rid myself Of feeling Of great disappoint-
ment that the general body Of officers as
sembled at the dinner should have greeted
the carrying out Of such a program with
apparent indifference to the fact that 1t
violated some Of the most dignifed and
sacred traditions Of the service.
II am told that the songs and other
amusements Of the evening were intended
and regarded as fun What are we to
think of officers Of the army and navy Of
the United States who think 1t fun to
bring their official superiors into ridlcule
and the policies Of the Government which
they are sworn to serve with unquestion-
ing loyalty into contempt II this is their
idea Of fun. what is their idea Of beauty
II they do not hold their loyalty above all
silly effervescenses Of childish wit, what
about their profession do they hold sacred
my purpose. therefore. in administering
this reprimand, is to recall the men who
are responsible for this lowering Of stand
ard. to their ideals. to remind them Of the
high conscience with which they ought to
put duty above personal indulgence. and
to think Of themselves as responsible men
and trusted soldiers, even while they are
amusing themselves as diners out"
The officers who will be formally repri-
manded by Secretaries Garrison and Dan
iels as a result Of the Presidents direction
include the entire banquet committee. ac-
cordine to the view Of officials. This COM
mittee had as members many Of the highest
army and navy officers at Washington, in
Guiding Rear Admiral Thomas B. Howard,
Mai. Gen. W. P. Biddle until recently COM
mandant Of the marine corps Brig. Gen.
Frank Mcintyre. chief Of the Insular Bureau,
