TREAD GIVER AGAIN

that city would not be worried
about a bread famine under any
circumstances.
But Hutchinson has a particular
reason just now for not worrying
about its daily bread. 1t is getting
too much bread, and 1t is receiving
1t daily, and 1t is free. And Hutch
inson does not know where the
bread is coming from.
Every morning for the last two
months the Hutchinson housewives
have been going out to gather leaves
of bread from the front porch, or
from the stairways, perhaps. If
the front door happens to be left
or from the front e e.
post, or even from the lawns.

INSANITY CAUSED A

Salina, May 14.-Insanity is
thought to have been the cause of
the suicide of L. E. Peterson, a
Gypsum township farmer. The man
had been acting in a manner that
had attracted the attention of the
family for some time, but there was
nothing to indicate anything in the
line Of suicide. So plain was the
case, however, when the officers
reached the place and investigated
that an inquest was deemed unnec-
essary as the cause of death was
evident.

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT CON-
QUOTED WITH PRODUCT AT
ELIZABETH CITY.
PROSPECTS OF BIG INDUSTRY
North Carolina is Especially Adapted
to Cultivation of Soy Bean and is
Now Producing Half Million Bush
els Annually.

Elizabeth City.-An experiment of
much interest to oil men and one
which may eventually result in a big
agricultural industry in North Caro-
lima was conducted at the plant of the
Elizabeth City Cotton Oil and Ferti-
lizer Company recently. The oil was
extracted from five bushels of soy
beans by a process which the expert
mentors are keeping a secret. The
experiment is regarded as being very
successful and those who watched
the process are very enthusiastic
over the prospects of future develop
ments along this line. They honestly
believe that discoveries in the manu-
facture of soy bean products are
about to be made which will make
them extensively cultivated and for
which the farmers will receive thou
sands of dollars.
The five bushels of beans in this ex-
pertinent was separated into two pro-
ducts, oil and meal. An abundance of
oil was secured which the experiment.
ers will have analysed. They believe
that this oil will prove to be of a
very high grade and that it will have
great commercial value, while the
meal will be capable of being manu-
featured into many food products use
full to both man and beast.
The success Of this experiment is
especially gratifying, as a similar one
was made about two years ago by an
other oil mill and it was attended
with failure as the yield of oil was
not satisfactory at all; besides this
experiment revealed the fact that
there is no waste in the manufacture,
the whole bean being converted into
either oil or meal.
There are great prospects for a big
industry in eastern North Carolina as
the soil of this section is especially
adapted to the cultivation of the soy
bean or stock pea, as they are COM
monty called. A large acreage is
planted each year and five or six
counties last year yielded nearly a
half million bushels. This crop a
be increased until the yield will
amount to several million bushels, as
the invention Of soy bean pickers have
made the harvesting of them on a
large scale possible at a small cost.

years of age, and suffered untold agony
with womanly troubles for IL years.
For Z years, 1 was all run down, and
was told that I could not live. My
husband spent everything he had, but
! got only temporary relief
"A merchant recommended Cardui,
the woman's tonic, to my husband,
and he got me 5 bottles at n time.
/ began taking it, and before the first
bottle was gone, / began to feel better.
l took all of the 5 bottles, and / am
today as sound and well as any
woman, and fat and hearty"
Such testimony as the above, which
is given unsolicited, speaks for itself.
Can't you see, lady reader, hat you
are doing yourself, your family, your
friends, an injustice by not, at least,
trying Cardui, If you suffer from any
of the many ailments SO common to
women?
Cardui is composed of pure, harm

in a gentle, natural way on the weak

them back to permanent strength and

eff I could, 1 should like to go to

Shafroth, wife of the senator froni
Colorado. in Washington the other

once heard about a man who was left
a legacy with an income to be paid as
long as he should continue to remain
in college. The story went on to say
that at the age of eighty the man was
still in college.
"Now, / have no such Interior mo-
tive as that, but I love teachers and
all that pertains to study. I should
count it the greatest joy if I had time
to take a college course every year."
All of which brings one abruptly to
a consideration of the question why
our western ome have such active
and alert m%entalities. Is it because
the climate of the West is intensely
invigorative, and therefore stimula-
