BLOW OLD THEORY
Prof. Sayre Says Coffee Not as
Harmful as Thought.
Badly Prepared Food VIII
Cause More Bad Results.

Lawrence, Kan. Oct. 26-The really
poisonous substances in coftee result
from the roasting and are those that
give the beverage it's taste and odor,
bv Prof L. E. Sayre, dean of the
school of pharmacy of the University
of Kansas at the completion of eight
years of experiments with coffee in
the university pharmaceutical labora-
tories.
Professor Sayre pointed out that
alkalOid caffeine, two grains OF which
are contained in each cup of coffee, is
not as is commonly supposed, the
substance which produces biliousness,
nervousness, and headaches. He as
serted that poison is not inherent in
of a chemical change brought by high
temperature, and that coffee substi-
tutes contain as much of the products
which are injurious to the nerves, as
does untreated coffee. Coffee boiled
in an open vessel, he pointed out, is
less harmful than that boiled in an
ordinary coffee pot
Experiments seem to show that the
most wholesome coffee decOction for
table use is, contrary to popular opin-
ion, that which is boiled in an open
vessel he said. This Vaporizes these
deleterious volatile substances rather
than confines them in the process Of
boiling in tight vessels, which tends to
force the liquid to absorb the poison.
There has been a tendency to
blame coffee for many of the ailments
of the body" he continued Coffee
is not food but a food-accessory, and
such ailments as liver trouble of all
kinds, rheumatism, neuralgia and
biliousness are not always the result
of drinking the popular beverage. Any
of the above troubles can just as easily
result from too much and badly pre-
pared food of any sort"

to the cattle and horses that range
over these prairIes. And in these
smooth, level pIairies it is that a
township or more is surrounded by au-
tCmobiles and then the chase with the
different kind and classes of cars be-
ing with after the coyote or wolf until
the coyote is either overtaken by the
automobiles or She animal falls to the
ground from exhaustion. No guns are
used and but few are permitted to
participate in the real chase and the
balance will be left in the background
simply as onlookers and permitted to
run their automobiles only at such
speed that may keep them at a re-
spectacle distance from those who are
chasing the coyote or wolf.
This is always considered as Greeley
county's gala day. The drive will not
last long. not more than two hours and
ali the automobiles will then return
to Tribune and all will attend church
after their hilarious experience.

KANSAS A DAIRY STATE
Propagation of Industry Brings In
crease of Million Since 1914.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 26.-Kansas
is making strides as a dairy state and
is sure to become a leader in the pro-
duction of dairy products, according
to o. E. Reed, professor of dairy hus-
bandry in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. Kansas realized more
than 100000 more in 1914 through
the sale of dairy products than in
1913.
kansas is sure to become one OF
the leading dairy states in the Union
because of her natural fitness in the
way of climate and feed" says Mr..
Reed. LAS the population increases,
the demand is going to be great, and
il is going to be furnished from home
grown stuff. There is a greater de-
mand for special purpose dairy cows
There is no question but that Kansas
will be right in line so far as dairy
ing is concerned.
1.-THE future of dairying depends on
grade dairy cattle rather than pure
breeds. 1t is highly important that
the farmers pay more attention to the
selection of bulls so as to get bulls
fl ON high producers to use for grade
cattle The farmer cannot pay too
much attention to the quality of the
sire. He should be of a good mother
and a good family which has good
record back OF it,"
The increase IN pOpulat1On ana the
high price of land has caused more
diversified and intensive farming. The
farmers have found that dairying
brings in more consistent returns than
dc es grain farming. Dairying keeps
up the soil fertility, and puts farming
on a more permanent basis.
Other factors which serve to aid
Kansas as a dairy state are her mild
climatic conditions, and the growing
O: alfalfa hay. At the present time,
Kansas has more than 100000 acres
in alfalfa The use of the silo has
been another impo1 tant factor. Five
years ago there were approximately
sixty silos in the state; now there are
more than 5000. The dairyman as a
rule can make more profit out of his
silo than can other farmers.

ANDREW DANIELsoN SUICIDES.
Well Known Resident Ends Life by
Drinking CarbOlic Acid in
Canoe Township.

Andrew Danielson, of DEBORAH, a
well known and highly respected re-
tired farmer, committed suicide yes
terday, Tuesday, about the noon
hour, at the home of his daughter
in Canoe township. He went out
in the country that morning, as has
been his custom many times, and as
we understand it went to the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Johnnie Peter
son, who lives on the former Philip
Stoskopf farm in Canoe, now owned
by Mr.. Danielson's brother, Ole, of
this city. Mr.. Danielson was out
to the barn, and his little grandson
was sent out to call him to dinner.
The little boy went back to the house
and told his parents he couldn't
awake him. Then his son.in-law
went to the barn and discovered the
DR.. H. H. Thomas
happened to be in that vicinity on
professional business and he was
called shortly after Mr.. Danielson
was found. A number of neighbors
and relatives also arrived at the
same time. The doctor detected the
smell of carbolic acid, and a small
bottle was found near Mr.. Daniel
son, labeled Carbolic Acid, and of
course that told the story of his
death.
Willis & Ness, the ,undertakers of
this city, were summoned between
two and three o'clock and went out
with their automobile ambulance,
and took the body to Mr.. Danielson'S
farm home one mile distant, which
lis occupied by his son Peter Daniel
son.
The reason for Mr.. Danielson's
act is not known. He was appar-
emily always a jovial good nature1
gentleman, and was well to do, own
| ing a fine farm in Canoe township,
and had plenty of money besides.
Mr.. Danielson was married twice,
his first wife passing away April &C.
1912. He was married the second
time to Mrs. Hans Holm, last year
in DEBORAH, and they have resided
lin DEBORAH since.
The deceased was about 81 years
old, and was one of the good sub
stantial highly respected farmers Of
the county here for years, retiring
about three years ago, coming here
! in 1913.
The remains are at his sons home
in Canoe and the funeral services
will be held tomorrow Thursday,
and he will be buried at the Hauge
cemetery on the middle Hesper road

Our Net Deficit.

OF the total deficit for the year,
2S,000,000, with the best of this
month estimated, the national treas
ury will get about $70,000,000 from
income and corporation taxes leav-
ing a net deficit of something like
fifty or sixty millions. The surplus
which the present administration
found in the treasury will take care
of most of this. But the republican
surplus which was nearly a hundred
and fifty millions cannot be drawn
on forever by their democratic sue
cessors. They will have to devise
new stamp or income taxes or else
they will have to readjust their tar
iff schedules. 1t should also be
noted that the internal revenue in
comes are liable to see falling of
in the near future, if the numerous
prohibitory laws recently enacted
are to have any effect at all. If the
states that have been dry actually
cease using alcoholic liquors then
the income of the government will
be greatly curtailed.-Cedar Rapids

NO MORE FALSE TEETH.
Federal Health Men Tell of Molar
Cures.

Business in store teeth is going to
take a decided drop. False teeth are
going out of fashion and vigorous
Rooseveltian molars are going to
take their place. This is announced
by no less authority than the gov
eminent of the United States, not
thru the department of commerce,
but thru the department of health.
The governmental scientists have
discovered what makes the teeth fall
out, and it is expected the next step
in rejuvenating the poor old human
race will be to discover what makes
the hair disappear. This it is sup
posed, will be the last word in con-
servation, to make two hairs grow
where one grew before. But as TO
teeth, the United States health SER
vice, not flinching at the use of
names of several syllables, announces
the epoch-making discovery of the
cause and method of treating what
is known to the scientist as pyorrhea
dentalis and alveolaris, more COM
monty known as Riggs disease.
At one time or another the health
service says everybody has Riggs
disease. 1t is suppuration about the
roots of the teeth and causes them
RI 70 Sc la n
the presence of Riggs disease, or
pyorrhea dentalis 1t is caused by
Ia minute single celled little brute
called the endamoeba buccalis. This
malevalent animal with formidable
name does its parasitic work in COM
bination with the pus-producing bac-
terra or germs. BY doing skillful
team work these two human submar-
ines destroy the delicate membrane
which surrounds the roots of the
teeth with the result that vocal
sign is put out, Rooms to let"
But the loss of the teeth is not
the only horror the health service
conjures up before terrified public.
! 1t connects up with this condition of
| the teeth rheumatism, serious heart
disease, high blood pressure and 9TH
er resulting ills. $50 firmly" says
the department, have these facts
| been proven that the modern up-to-
date physician begins the treatment
of such diseases by an inquiry into
the condition of the teeth and their
sockets The cure is not less awe
inspiring than the disease. Ipecac,
THE last word in terror-inspiring die
Itionary of drug terms, is the cure.
1t comes in the form of emetin,
which is being administered by ply
sicians to cure the disease. The
health service says the number of
sufferers from this trouble is very
large in the United States, hence the
advice to the public.
Dealers in spurious molars should
! bear in mind that the bulletin issued
by the department says in plain and
unmistakable English: According
to the United States public health
service there will be falling off in
the sale of store teeth in the future
and plates and toothless gums will
be seen less frequently than former
ly." Comforting for the ultimate con-
|sumer, but discouraging for the deal
er and the painless dentist.
