Turned Down Alleged Cure

Unless they act of their own accord, none of the patients of the Arkansas Tuberculosis Sani- tarium will be given the Fried man treatment by the physicians who are now in the State admin istering the serum. This has been decided by the board of trustees of the sanitarium, carefully be- ing weighed by that body before a decision was reached.
 When the physicians came to Arkansas, announcing that the serum would be injected into all who applied, many patients of the sanitarium naturally express eda desire to take the treatment. The board of trustees was notifi- ed of this request. and special meeting held in Little Rock to go fully into the matter.
 When the decision of the board was reached, Dr. Steward, the head of the State institution, informed the potients that the treatment was not approved by the trustees, and without mur- mur the patients accepted the wishes of the trustees.
 One of the trustees stated that the situation was a delicate one, for if there is merit in the alleg- ed cure, it would seem cruel on the part of the directors to deny the patients the hope of getting well. The trustees went into the Friedmann cure in order to pro- tect the patients. and has in fluenced their final action. It was pointed out that the United States government is more in- terested in this one disease than all others, and will be the first to recognize cure. when one comes, but the government has drowned on the Friedman cure, and has advised those afflicted with tuberculosis not to spend their money upon it, consequent ly the trustees thought they would be best in protecting the helpless patients at the sanit- arium by advising they ignore it for the present.
 Soon after the decision from the board of trustees, the physic- ians left Little Rock, though they would gladly have gone to the State institution and vaccin- ated every patient there with the serum for the prestige il would have given them in other parts of the state. Pine Bluff Press Eagle.

 Our little village and surroung- ing territory is very badly hand icaped from a commercial stand point for want of a railroad agent. The Cotton Belt has a modern depot here which is standing wide open day and night, free to the ravages of hogs, goats, tramps, and all other floating scavengers, while the patrons or the company are need- ing someone to protect the freight received daily at this station. An examination of the report of tonnage receieved here monthly at this station doubtless will show that business will justify having an agent. He would not only protect our interests, but that of the railroad company as we'll, and the business of the road would be increased. As the Cotton Belt officials are in no way antagonistic to our interests, lei us make a protest, showing them the conditions here ir their proper light, and the com pany will doubtlessly come to oul relief.

Repeated experiments made by the agricultural colleges, and the results obtained by the actual growers of al- falfa in the semi-arid sections of the west. throughout the corn belt states, and in the south and east, are conclu- sive evidence of the great value or alfalfa.
 There are few farmers whose profits would not be increased greatly by rais- ing alfalfa Every farmer should aim to produce. as far as possible, his foodstuffs upon his own farm. During the last few years, the area devoted to alfalfa has greatly in creased in the region west of the Mis- souri river. and 1t Is certain that there will be an equally rapid in crease throughout the eastern and southern parts of the United States
 Many of the attempts in the past to grow alfalfa in the humid regions have failed, but with our present knowledge of the requirements of the crop there will be little. if any, more trouble in securing stand
 Alfalfa will soon be. grown abun- dantly and profltably upon every farm. It is no more difiicuit to grow than clover and gives double the yield. The deep roofing habit of alfalfa enables it to resist drouth when clover, tim othy, blue grass and other forage grasses die for want of moisture. Al falfa roots grow deep into the soil-- far beyond the, roots of. other plants. It's drouth resisting power is of no greater importance than it's great value as soil enricher. The long roots bring phosphorus. potash and other plant foods from below and store them in the upper soil for the use of other plants. Experiments snow greatly increased yields of other crops grown upon alfalfa sod.
 Alfalfa Is rich in protein the most essential element in feed to make bone, blood and muscle in growing ami mals.

Every falmer should try at least a small piece of alfalfa and if he does not succeed at first, try again and keep on trying until he does succeed It Is worth the while. If the work is thoroughly done and at the proper time, you will, most cer- tainly succeed in securing good stand: if the work is half done and out of season. you will just as cer- tainly sfsdl.
