of selling them to merchants and
others to be used as a New York

exchange, and the expense of fur

canal commission. This finally led
to the payment of the gold en-

OSTEOPATHY
VS..
OLD AGE

The slogan of the day is SHACK to
Nature" and it is by the observance
of few natural laws that man can
avoid most causes of premature death,
and crepitus and slow functioning in
the latter years of his life.
It is now definitely known that the
body laboratory and all organs and
parts of the body are governed by the
nervous system, indirectly controlled
by "nerve centers" located in the
spinal cord situated in the spinal
column. The mechanical condition of
the spine, therefore, become of prime
Importance, and, when your spine be-
gins to grow shorter and stiff, you be-
gin to grow old, no matter what your
age, because life's vital impulses which
are passing through the spinal cord in
part INSTRUCTED and to that extent
organic functioning is lessened.
The secret, then, for youthfuIness
and longevity Is to keep the spine
supple, flexible and preserve. freedom
of action in every joint. The condition
of your spine not only tells your age
mot measured in years, but in physical
disability but it forecasts accurately
your chances for health or disease.
Osteopathy Is particularly expert
form of inspection of the spine follow
ed by the detection and removal of
any irregularities that may be found,
and the osteoathist is the skilled body
machinist who makes scientific
anatomical adjustments q speciality.
He locates the cause of your trouble
and removes it, letting Nature, the
only power that can cure, do the rest.
Do you know that, if you had your
body machinery, particularly your
spine, examined, and if necessary re-
adjusted by that expert body machin-
list, the osteopathic physician, at regu-
lar intervals, you would avoid most
diseases, besides promoting healthy
longevity?

Few persons realize that n large por-
ton of Germany Is but sandy plain
and her enormous crop yields due to
the fact that for each three acres OF
cereals grown her farmers raise one
acre OF hoed crops, thus producing q
root crop on each field every fourth
year. They grow sugar beets wher
ever possible and are the greatest pro
ducers of this vegetable In the world
In sections where there are no fac
tories 10 which they can sell their sugar
beets they grow beets or other roo
crops and feed them TO stock.

SUGAR BEETS THE REMEDY.
We Could Raise Enough of Them In
One State, Declares the Secretary of
Agriculture, to Supply the Needs of
the Whole Nation,
BY JAMES WILSON,
Secretary of Agriculture.

One would think that we had enough
sunshine and wind and rain in this
country for ali our needs, but at pres
ent we are paying out to foreign ma
tons the good round sum of 100000
600 each year for these things. This
amount slips away from Us for our an
nual importationS of sugar, which
comes simply from the carbon diOXide
of the atmosphere There is no reason
why we should not save this amount
for our own people, our farmers and
laborers, and SO OH. We could grow
enough sugar beets in q single state to
supply the needs of the entire nation.
1 hope some day we shall grow all the
sugar we need right here at home. But
at present we are paying this enormous
sum each year to the cane producer In
the tropics, employing the cheapest Ia
Dor under foreign flag.
When 1 first entered the cabinet as
Secretary Of Agriculture under Presi-
dent Mckinley in 1897 had been con-
nected with the Iowa State Agricul-
tural college for six years, and out
there we had made experiments which
taught us the great value Of the sugar
beet not only for its sugar, but as an
aid to the other crops and in its by
products as a food for the stock.
We made experiments with all sorts
of root crops-pOtatoes, sugar beets,
turnips, and so onto ascertain which
would be the most profitable for the
Iowa farmers and dairymen. We had
a large herd Of dairy COWS, and we
tested these different vegetables on
the cows to learn their effect I'm the
