New Method Of DeS-
tTOylng Alfalfa Weeyll
Local Farmer Has Successfully Solved
Question OF Destroying
Alfalfa NeeVil

John Steggel, our city street super
visor, has discovered "A new method OF
successfully destroying the alfalfa
weeyil that has been deyastating the
hay crop throughout Utah. His meth
cd is simple, inexpensive aud thor
oughly effective, his neighbors declar-
ing that il Is the most effective method
yet evolved.
Mr.. StegRel's method consists OF
simply dragging or narrowing the al
falfa when 1t is muddy, or Immediately
after 1t has been irrigated. The de.
structiye little insects are by thi.
method thoroughly mixed up in the
mud, and before they can eXtricat'
themselves they are dead. One of MIR
Steggel's neighbors, IN describing IN,
tieid, stated that after it had beer
treated 1t loked barren as a desert
and as if it never would come ou
again. However, In few days IN.
barren field began to look green anC
the alfalfa grew more rapidly thar
ever before. For several weeks IN,
uoighbors' fields remained barren
while Stcggel's field grew luXurianuy
and is now about ready 20 cut lut
second time this season.
All kinds Of methods have been trie,
TO check the wceyil with varying sue
cess Farmers have given the fields q
path OF lire; some have spread with
paris green, and others poisonous sub
stances; some have yainly tried %
droy& the weeyil some have adopted
the method Of feeding the crop OFF Wild
sheep; but up to the present the oul,
effective economical method has bee.
the dust mulch method However, .h,
mud bath given by Mr.. Stcggel s. de,
clared TO be less expensive and more
effective than any Of them Those who
have seen IT'S cnects declare that they
will adopt it next year

Rev. WiIdman Murphy
Called to New Field
Popular Local Minister Who Has Been
In American Fork for Past Ten
Years Goes to PaySOn.

on August II. Rev. Wildman Murphy
will give up his American Fork pas
crate and with his family move to
Payson. The Utah Presbytery has
been after Mr. Murphy for a long time
10 go to Payson, and he has at last
consented to go, believing that the new
field, or rather the old field, Will en-
able him to do more good.
Mr. Murphy commenced his work
in the ministry in Payson twenty-one
years ago. At that time he had charge
of the Methodist Episcopal church
there. Later he grew to favor the
Presbyterian church, and after five
years service in Payson. he went to
Eureka as pastor of the Presbyterian
church there. Three years later he
was called to Provo, and two years
later he came to American Fork.
There Is peculiar condition in
Payson that makes Mr.. Murphy's call
particularly appropriate. While there
fifteen years ago he was pcs.or OF the
little Methodist flock. Since his leav-
ing the church has had no regular
minister While in way the Meth
odlsts have united with the Presby-
terians. there has been no genuine
union. Neither is the Presbyterian
work there In as thriving a condition
rs It should be. Mr. Murphy being a
Presbyterian now, will of course go
to Payson to take charge of the Pres
byterian church. The Methodlsts
there are united i'm asking for Mr.. Muir
ply to come back and promise to join
with him in church work. So that
with both those in charge of the Meth
odst mission and the Presbyterian
mission calling him back to Pays0n,
he could not resist.
Mr.. Murphy expresses real sorrow
at leaving American Fork, and the
many friends he has made here The
American Fork mission has never been
In as prosperous condition as II is al
present. He has thoroughly enjoyed
his work here. He likes the people
and the progressive town spirit and
feels that II is good place TO live
and rear family
Mr. Murphy's little flock will be
sorry to see him go, and the citizens
generally will be sorry TO loose him
He Is an affable gentleman and ha!
always been found working earnestl!
on the right side of all public ques
tions. He has generally been fOunt

lT TAKES NERVE

1t takes nerve" announces a booze
advertisement underneath thrilling
picture of a birdman. The ad con-
tinues:
Men and women of today need the
nerves OF steel, whether their occupa-
ton be plotting an airship, controlling
a business, or directing household or
social activities. When the nerves be-
gin to show evidences of weakness,
prompt action should be taken to re-
store them to "A normal condition.
Considering the booze" has had to
walk the plank in the navy, has been
ruled off athletic grounds, banned by
factories, prescribed by certain offices
and banks, forbidden by many mines
and railroads-where a cool head and
steady hand are required-it certainly
does take nerve.

VENICE ADREAMCIY Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in its approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in it's later forms, uric acid
poisoning is a disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one of the final
stages of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
In our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, if discovered early, so it is well
to know the early signs Of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid Is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever, by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney, or crystallizes into Jagged bits
in the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
of neuralgia, rheumatism, govt, sciat
lea, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie

but his wife secured some Postum and

"He drank the Postum and did not
