WHO VERA PRoSSER is
The Vera Prosser, known in Chi
cago as Vera Leroy, was formerly the
wife of Reese H. Prosser, whom she
killed on fast Great Northern train
near Libby, Montana, in June, 1910.
G. w. Miller and A. G. Schaffer, au-
tomobile statesmen, were on their way
from Seattle to Cleveland with Pros
ser. The story Miller told of the
shooting was that Prosser got a di-
vorce at Seattle, and that his ex-wife
got on the same train the three men
were on.
Miller told Prosser to keep away
from her While he and Schaffer
were on the platform smoking the
woman went into the stateroom
where Prosser was, sat on his lap and
ordered drink; then a second and
third.
Prosser ordered her from the room
and told the porter to bring no more
drinks. The train pulled into Libby,
Montana. The woman hurried from
the stateroom, jumped from the train
and FASTENED to the telegraph Office.
She was told the train stopped but
a moment, but said she must wire.
The train pulled out and left her.
Miller then went into the state
room to talk to Prosser and found
him lying in pool of blood, with a
bullet hole in his head. Miller work.

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED,

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflameG condition Of the mucous lin

this tube is inflamed you have a rum

when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result and unless the inflamma'
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca

EMBLEM OF NOBLE WORK
Double Red Cross, Symbol Of War
Against Tuberculosis, Was De-
Vlsed by French Doctor.

The double red cross, the symbol of
the war against tuberculosis, was
first adopted by the symbol Of the In
ternational Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
ton in Berlin In October, 1912. The
proposer of the symbol was DR.. G..
Seriron Of Paris, who is ndw asso-
eiated secretary Of LAssociation Cen
trale Franchise Contre la Tuberculo-
sis. Today the emblem used by anti
tuberculosis workers in every part OF
the world. even in Iceland, India,
South Africa, Labrador, Japan, China
and the Philippines. The double
red cross is similar in shape to
a cross used frequently in the
Greek Catholic churches, and also
to the Lorrain cross Of France.
In the United States over 1900 anti
tuberculosis associations and com
mittees; nearly $50 sanatoria and hos
pitfalls; 400 dispensaries and about 200
open air schools, besides a number Of
other organizations, are using the
double red cross as their emblem.
Wherever 1t is seen, it means war
against tuberculosis.

REIUvENATE AN OLD ORCHARD.
Increase IN Size and Color OF Fruit
10 Very Largely Due to JudIclous
Use Of Pruue Saw.

By g VAN SMITH. Colorado AgricuI-
tural College)
Our attention is being called every
day to the example Of some farmer
with an idea. who takes a pruning
saw and goes into an old and unproht-
able orchard and makes it pay attrac-
tive dividends. Proper cultivation and
spraying are important factors in
such a reiuvenation, but the Increase
in size and color of fruit is very large
ly due to judicious pruning.
In old orchards which have been
neglected the thing most noticeable
is the fact that the tree tops contain
too much wood; too many limbs.
Many Of these r large limbs which
should have been cut out ears ago

to the tree would not have been so
great, to say nothing Of the saving Of

WHY THE FERTILIZERS FAIL
Farmers Seem to Forget That Physi.
cal Conditions Are as Important
as Plant Food Supply.

Many farmers expect entirely too
much of commercial fertilizers, writes
an instructor for the College of Agri-
culture. Ohio State university. They
forget that the physical condition Of
the soil is often just as inn
portant as the supply Of available
plant food.
The condition Of the soil depends
largely upon the amount o~fedecaying
organic matter It contains. BY it
clay soils are kept loose and we'll

at the same time capable of holding
more water in an available form

HAPPY OLD AGE
Nest Likely to Follow Proper Eating,

AS old age advances we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not oYertax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
In the barley which changes the starch
into a most digestible sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the outer-coat OF the wheat, are
Included In Grape-Nuts, but are lack
Ing in white flour because the outer
coat OF the wheat darkens the -four
and Is left out by the miller. These
natural phosphates are necessary to
the well-balanced building of muscle,
brain and nerve cells.

Profitable Industry.

A profitable industry lie being de-
veloped on many Of the government
irrigation projects in the production
Of honey, and reports indicate that
this honey is superior in quality, Al
falfa is the chief source from which
the bees secure their supply. and as
it blooms constantly from early
spring till late in the fall, the bees
have something to work on all the
time. which allows a greater amount
Of honey to be stored.
