fewer FAKE MEDICINE
ADS. IN LOCAL PAPERS
Dr.. L. F. Kebler Credits Washington
for More Progress in Clean
ing Up "Quacks."

That Washington newspapers have made
more progress in cleaning up in the
matter Of displaying advertisements of
"quack" medicines than an equal number
Of papers in any other city of the same
size in the United States was one of the
features in a report made by a special
committee of the advertising vigilance
committee of the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation held last evening in the rooms of
that organization. The report was made
by DR.. Lyman Kebler, chairman of the
subcommittee, and urges all daily news
papers to refuse Ito print false medical
advertisements.
DR.. Kebler cited numerous instances in
which salt and sugar solutions, favored
vaseline. clay and charcoal and other
similar things had been sold as medicines
claimed to be certain to cure various dis
eases. often maladies which are so far
incurable. One man who sold these fake
remedies, reported DR.. Kebler. made about
$4,000 year from the sales.
The poor bear the burden of these gi-
gantic frauds" asserted the report.

One or Two Speeches Week.

There are indications that after his

in other cities.

EDITORS CHANGE OF HEART.

During the wet and dry campaign of the state of Washington. the Se- attle Daily Times worked vigorously for the vets After one month of pro- hibition this is what the editor said
 We fought prohibition on economic grounds alone We believed that in great seaport city with a popula- tion of upwards of 300 1000, prohibi- tion would be destructive that it would bring on economic disaster. We believed that under the license system we had the liquor trafic as well controlled as 1t could be; we wanted to let it alone and we fought as hard as we could fight But in spite of all we could do. prohibition carried and went into effect January l. It's moral effect has been tremen- dous. Seattle had 260 saloons and we had an average of 2.600 arests a month for crimes and misdemeanors growing out of liquor drinking. In January we had only 400 arrests and GO of these were made January l. and were the result of hang-overs from the old year"

CAUSE OF LOWEST DEATH RATE.

Why has Kansas the lowest death rate in the United States? This ques- tion was asked by doubting federal of ticials after they had investigated the report of w. J. V. Deacon. state regis trar of vital statistics, showing that the Kansas death rate was only 9.S per 1000. The answer of Mir Deacon as given to Samuel l.. Rogers, direc- tors of the United States bureau of census, gave this reason among oth- CTS
 Kansas is prohibition state and has been for a generation, and in Kan sas, prohibition really prohibits. I do not mean by this there is no alcohol consumed in the state, but the ab- sence of the saloon means much to our growing boys and young men. who, in the absence of any bar room, find more healthful pastimes than loaf ing ill an alcohol laden atmosphere.
 Another and more important fact concerning prohibition is that the wage of the laborer or mechanic is not dissipated, but goes to supply those necessities of food, clothing and hous ing most essential to the wellbeing of their families and themselves.'

SOILS AND SOIL FERTILITY
No, z. Farm Manure.

By De F. Hungerford, Assistant Agro.
 nomist, University of Arkansas.
 Farm manure is, without question. the best fertilizer the farmer can put on his land The oldest experiment. station in the world, located at Roth, Amstead, England, has conducted ex. perlments for many years comparing manure with various amounts of com mercial fertilizers In one of these tests the plot receiving no manure or fertilizer of any kind yielded 131 bushel of wheat as an average for fifty years. The plot receiving 14 tons or manure per acre each year yielded 355 bushels as the fifty year average. Another plot was treated each year with fertilizer costing S15.25 per acre and produced 239 bushels Of wheat. The only plot in the test which produced as much wheat as the manured plot was one which received each year fertilizer at cost of $29.S5 per acre. This plot averaged 36.g bushels of wheat per acre for fifty years. Countless other experiments have shown that manure is a valuable fertilizer and should be preserved and used accordingly.
 { The reasons for the effectiveness of manure as fertilizer are apparent when it's composition and action in the soil Is understood Plants reuu,re certain substances to make them grow just as animals must have food The most important of these substances are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot ash. These are commonly called plant foods because they serve as food Tor plants. ton of average manure contains 10 pounds of nitrogen, five pounds of phosphoric acid and 10 pounds of potash. These quantities may seem to be insignificant. but plants do not require very large amounts although a little of each is absolutely essential. If these mater ials are bought in commercial fertiliz- CTS they are expensive At the GUS tomary price for fertilizers the con- stituents in one ton of manure would cost $2.S5 The cost would be very much more at the prices now pre- vailing
 The value of manure varies some, what with the feed the animals re- Ceive. The richer the feed is in pro tein the more nitrogen is contained in the manure For this reason the ma nure from animals fed on cotton seed meal bran, alfalfa hay or other rich feeds is especially valuable Nearly all of the nitrogen fed to a fattening animal is returned in the manure.
 Manure is valuable for other req sons besides the plant food it con tains. In every ton of average manure there Is about 500 pounds of organic matter. This has a very beneficial i'm fuence on the physical condition of the soil r. makes heavy clay soils more mellow and open. and it binds the sand grains together in a sandy soil making a frmer seed bed and en- abling the soil to store up more water against a time of drought One Of tho crraat tact made of tba coils of .,,,-

state Is larger supply of organic mat ter. The organic matter supplied in manure also furnishes food for the bacteria which are essential to the best growth of crops Some of the bacteria fed by the manure are able 10 take nitrogen from the air and make it available for crops in much the same manner as do the bacteria which live on the roots of legumes Others cause fermentation of the or ganic matter to take place with the liberation of carbonic acid which ren, ders the mineral matter of the soil available.
 Since manure is valuable in so many ways. great care should be exer- cised to prevent unnecessary losses Some of the valuable ingredients are soluble and others are lost by expos. ure to the air Leaching should there. fore be avoided as much as possible The manure Is frequently thrown out of a window in the stable and allowed to lie under the caves until most of the plant food is leached out The dark brown liquid often seen about barnyards is rich in the elements needed by crNos If the manure is al lowed to lie in loose open heaps where the air can circulate freely through it the insoluble nitrogen changes to soluble forms and is then lost by teaching. In this way manure left out in the open subject to alter nate wetting and drying, quickly loses much of its value.
 Tn order to reduce losses to a mini mum manure should be spread on the iand as soon as produced Then the rains will wash the soluble part into the soil where 1t is needed. If it is inn ractical to spread the manure every day losses can be kept down py storing in large. moist, compact heaps under a roof A basin-shaped cement floor under the heap will prevent most of the teaching A very economical method of storing manure is to keep the stock in deep stalls and allow it to accumulate under their feet The animals can be kept dry with bedding
