Lewis R., My dear sir: Answer
Ing your letter, Uric Acid indicates
poisoning OF the system; it Is also
associated with several other poisons
and forms painful irritants in the cells
OF the joints, nerves and muscles.
Everyone has Uric Acid in the sys-
tenn. but naturally in small quantities.
Excessive amount is caused by eating
too much meat and foods that fer

THE CLOSE OF DAY.
The duck has come again. The aeecy
clouds
That through the day have browsed
In Heavens fields.
Lie red upon the altar in the west.
Whence flames announce the evening
sacrifice.
And now a voice is summoning me to
prayer
AS faint as some far-on Muezzin's
chant.
Or distant sounding Of cathedral

tany.
My knees are pressed upon the red
earth
My eyes are toward the all-encircling
hills,
My hearts at vespers with the pray
Ing earth:
God bless the day and keep us
through the dark"

Prather and Hiser led the batting,

WINTER OATS

Most every farm needs from three to five acres of oats for every horse on the farm. In planning the oat crop don't forget that the winter var ieties outyield the spring varieties. Therefore, make preparation to seed as many oats this fall as possible. For Central and North Arkansas use the Winter Turf variety and seed with drill between the first and fifteenth of October. In South Arkansas, eith CT the Winter Turf or the Red Rust Proof oats may be used, and their seeding should be done with the drill about the last half of October. Seed ing with. the drill and seeding at pro- per season help to prevent winter killing. Detailed information can be secured by writing to the Extension Division, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

THE FALL AND WINTER CAM
 PAIGN

Mir. Merchant you have spent lot of time and probably considerable money in the buying of goods for the lfall and winter seasons. Have you spent as much time in outlining tfe campaign that you will make to sell these goods? Buying is one enc Of merchandising. Selling is another. Each is of great importance and in modern business life good buying IS of Little value unless the selling end | is given the attention it deserves.
 The live and successful merchant of today plans his selling campaign for the year as a general would plan coming battle. For it is battle Tn which every business man is engaged and the man who makes the best fight is the man who wins.
 In laying the plans for his cam paign. the chief aide of every mer- chant should be his ADVERTISING. It is one vital element of salesmanship that cannot be overlooked. To at !
 tempt to carry on business that IS dependent upon salesmanship without advertising is like a general ot mod ern times attempting to win a battle without the assistance of his heavy artillery.
 But to advertise does not mean just to contract for a certain space Tn the Newspapers and then forget about It. A merchant can get no more results from advertising to which he pays no attention than he could by selling goods without looking at the prlce marks. Advertising ones goods In the right way and in the right mediums Is as much an essential part of modern business as is the buying of goods Tn the right way and in the right places. Advertising is simply one essential form of salesmanship and 1t IS one form of salesmanship that must have the personal attention of the merchant to produce the best results.
 YOU can prove to yourself thaV conscientious, persistent advertising pavs. And RIGHT NOW-at the be- ginning of the fall and winter season is an ideal time to put it to the test

FEWER BUT BETTER COLLEGES

Or the 92 medical colleges which have ceased to exist since 1914. 52 were closed by merger and 40 became extinct. This rapid diminution in the number of colleges began with the creation of the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association in 1905. The largest number closing in single years were 10 in 1907, when the Councils first classi. fication of medical colleges was pre-. pared; 13 in 1910, when the second classification was published, and 14 in 1913, when the third classification was mace public.
 Of the 92 medical colleges which have been closed, 4S were rated by the | Council on Medical Education in Classes A and B, and A in Class c. Forty three, or 95.5 per cent, of the closures of the medical colleges in Classes A and B were through mer- ger with other colleges, while of the A Class c colleges which closed, only 9 (2O per cent.) were through merger with other colleges. In other words. all but five of the colleges which be- came extinct had been rated in Class c by the Council on Medical Educa. tion.
 The total number of colleges IS growing smaller, and is approaching more nearly the normal supply for this county. But the high-grade, strbnger medical colleges are con stantly increasing. There are still sixteen cities each of which has two or more medical schools, and in two of these mergers are scarcely possible owing to the fact that the schools are fer different races, leaving fourteen cities where mergers are still possible. These cities and the number of col leRce in each are: Chicago, s; New York, '; Philadelphia, 6; Bos ton 1; San Francisco, 8; St. Louis. Wash ington, 2, and there are colleges each in Ann Arbor, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Columbus, Iowa City, Los Angeles anl Omaha In 1904 there were 24 cities havl ig each from ? to I, edical medical education in these cities is prevented by the existence of too many competing schools. For fur thcr improvement not only of under graduate, but also of graduat3 nedl. cal instruction in this country, there should be other mergers in the four teen cities named.
 Illinois has heretofore had the lar gest number of medical colleges, but nov, as shown in Table 14 the first place is held by New York, where there are ten colleges. Illinois has eight; Pennsylvania has seven and California has six colleges. Illinois has the large, number of students enrolled having 2,213 matr:oulants last session, followed by New Yak with PLY and Pennsylvania with 1, 45S. In regard to the number of graduates, the same relative position obtains.

ANCIENT HUMAN SIX JILL

Of interest in connection with the tertiary gold-bearing river gravels of (alifomia is the story of the Gala |eras skull. For time this skull |tuacted much attention not only kom people in California, but from kientifc men the world over. It was kpOrted to have been found in 1866, lear the town of AnAgels, Calaveras bounty, at a depth of 130 feet, in Ter (ary gravels underlying Tertiary bva. The finding of a human skull hbedded in such deposits was for a
 me believed to indicate that man ad been in existence in North Ameri-
 longer than had been supposed.
 trange to say the skull is of a higher Epe than skulls which, although hOwn to antedate historic times, are hOwn also to be much younger than be Tertiary. Although Prof. J. D.
 hltney, then State geologist, accept
 the skull as a bit of genuine scien-
 hc evidence of the antiquity of man bat the Calaveras skull, while un- pubtedly old, probably did not come tom the auriferous gravels at all. Overland Guidebook, Bulletin 612, U.
