LOTUS is Out
Of Hospital

Minneapolis, Minf1.; Dec
!5.-George S. LOTUS, whe
was believed to be fatally i'll o.
concer affection a few week.
ago at the Eitel hospital, ha.
left that institution vastly i'm
proved in health.
Mr.. Lotus has been treatec
with the new autolysin serum
He will continue to receive in.
ject,ons of this serum daily
Whether its use is wholly tc
be credited for Mr.. Lotus i'm.
provement or whether a per
manent cure can be effected
DR.. Geirge J.. Eitel is not pre-.
pared to say.
Other Minneapolis physi.
clans are using the serum ir
the treatment of inoperable
causes. As in the | oftus case
it is too early to say that an,
of these cases can be cured per
manently.
Mr.. Lotus was operated
upon October Ia for intestina
cancer, but it was impossible
to remove the growth. The
case was desperate and it wa.
felt that there was little hops
for recovery. Friends were
prepared for an early end te
the patients s suferings.
1t was determined to use the
new serum as a last resort
When the patient had gainee
sufficient strength the first dost
was administered October I9
Since that date Mr.. Lotus ha.
received one dose every day
Two cubic centMneters Of tn
serum have been injected into
the circulation.
MIR. LOTUS rallied and ha.
shown steady improvement
He has gained not only ii
strength, but the oancerous
growth has shrunk. He wa.
able soon to sit up, then te
walk about the hospital and te
be taken out of doors daily IL
"a wheel chair. He was anx
Eious to get home and permits
sion finally was given.
The autolysin serum, &C
Ecording to its r1ame,is a self
|Ioosening' preparation, which
is supposed to enable the sys
tenn to absorb or dissolve part.
at least of tire cancerou'
growth.

Harvest Crop

big farmers of the Tobacco
Garden country has harvested
this year $500 bushels CT
wheat, 2,400 bushels of oats,
500 bushels of barley and 4s3
bushels of fax. The gra n is
sold at present prices is worth
about $4,000. But Mr.. Jack
son is !.olding part of his wheat
for bette, prices and his barley
and oats he is feeding to 10
hogs and four mead of cattle,
and expects to market as pork
and beef, and so a much higher
price will be obtained toan Il
he sold them as grain, Alto
gether he counts on a return
of about $1,000.
Mr.. Jackson now owns
about 1904 acres of land, of
which 485 acres are under cul-
|tivation and three quarter sec-
'tions are fenced. This year 8
crop wtll put him better than
out of debt, and this has been
accomplished since 1910 with
no capital to start with, two

He filed On l60 acres OF land
and commuted it in ID months
in order to make a loan on it
and buy stock and machinery.
The next year he bought an
Iother quarter section, and by
that time was 50, 500 in debt.
Instead Of buying norses to DO
his breaking, he purchased
oxen, because they do not re-
quire to be fed oats while
working and are saiable at Il
cash price as beef at any time;
whereas horses usually sell orr
time and are often hard to dis
pose of even at that. He has
pursued his policy of using
oxen insteadof' horses in break
ing nearly all jhis land. The
second quarter section he
turned In a single season with
four oxen and then sold the
oxen for but SIS less than he
paid for them.
He says that he has found
that Borrowing money at a
high rate of interest, If Dor
rowed for the purpcseuf buv
ing stock, is better than a safe
proposition. but instead of p,lr-
chasing full-grown cows and

Sulphur Iumigation

avoid exposing ones self to the gas.

Soon the rest will say of you:

EIGHTH GRADE TUITION

Statistics compiled in the Depart
ment Of Public instruction show that
school districts are this year paying
the tuition OF more than ten thousand
eighth grade graduates TO high
schools This tuition amounts to
S235,747 Thousands of boys and
girls in the rural schools of the state
will this month receive eighth grade
diplomas from the Superintendent Of
Public instruction as the result Of
having passed the eighth grade ex
aminations. Perhaps no recent law
has more directly benefited the boys
and girls OF rural communities that
the one which requires districts 10
pay the tuition OF those holding eighth
grade diplomas to any high school in
the state, providing however that the
amount shall not exceed twenty dol
lars unless the people at the annual
meeting vote to pay more. The high
school is to be selected by the pupil.
Written application for this tuition
must be made to the board by the
parent or guardian on or before the
fourth Monday in June. A child for
whom tuition must be paid is one who
is a resident of the district on the
fourth Monday Of June and who is
either the holder of county eighth
grade diploma or OF a written state
ment from the superintendent of a
graded district that he has passed the
eighth grade in that district or that
he has passed a grade above the
eighth grade The Superintendent of
Public instruction is very anxious that
no boy or girl who is qualified To have
his tuition paid shall be deprived OF
the privilege because of failure TO
make proper application
