CITY MANAGEEHEEI
WORKS WONDERS,
What New Methods Have Accomplish
ed In Certain Municipalities.

The misrule Of American cities is no
torious at home and abroad, writes
Charles Il. Strayer in Leslie's Weekly
Graft is rampant, Political spoilsmer
mulct our cities and the taxpayers foot
the bills. German municipalities, on
Tie other hand, are famous throughout
The world for the absence of graft and
the efficiency of their administration.
There the administration of cities is
distinct profession to which men de-
vote their lives. The administrator
who has made n good record in one
city is called from Small municipal
ity to larger one.
Great industrial corporations, such
us the Standard Oil company and the
United States Steel corpora ion, are
conducted with an efficiency nowhere
eScelled The taxpayers can have the
same results in municipal administra
ton whenever they get thoroughly tir-
ed Of being robbed by the politicians
and grafters and demand municipal re-
form.

AS We GROW Older

our minds are quite as active as in
former years but our strength does not
respond when we needit most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stiffened joints
beset us, and we cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in SCOTS Emulsion torenew the blood
andcarry strengthto every organofthe
body, whileitsg lycerine soothes the res
piratory tract ,and its hypophosphites
strengthen the, excitable nerves. .
SCOTS Emulsion is scientific oil
food, of unusual benefit to those past
fifty years-particularly during the
colder seasons, it imparts warmth and
creates strength. One bottle will prove
its worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs.

PLANT THAT IMPROVES SOIL.
The Sugar Beet Increases Yield Of
Other Crops.

How sugar beets improve the fertil-
lty OF the soil and increase the yield Of
all crops grown In rotation with then.
IL explained In the National Magazine
by Truman G. Palmer, who has spent
the past ten years In studying agricul-
tural methods IN Europe and America.
THE sugar beet being deep rooter,"
says AIr. Palmer, "a prerequisite to its
culture Is that the soil be stirred to a
depth of ten to fourteen inches. The
tender beetlet having to undergo the
shock Of thinning soon after 1t comes
up In order to leave but one beet to
place, 1t demands a we'll prepared, mel
low seed bed. Gathering the sugar In
Its leaves from the atmosphere by the
aid OF the light and storing it up In the
roots. II Will not thrive If the light is
cut Off through being shaded by weeds,
and their eradication means not only a
further stirring of the soil by cultva
ton and hoefuS. but they are removed
before going TO seed, thus leaving
NEEDLESS fields for succeeding crops
Being plOwed out In autumn gives az
extra fall blowing, which leaves the
land In condition to absorb instead of
shed the fall and winter rains and store
up the moisture for the following sea-
sons crop. With the removal OF the
main root myrlads Of fbrous roots are
broken of and left In the soil to an
average OF a ton to the acre, and In
rotting they not only deposit : mus Ia
the lower strata OF soil, but leave mi
mute channels through which II be-
comes aerated and hence fertile. The
roots OF subsequent crops follow these
interstices and draw nutriment from
two and three times the depth of soil
formerly reached, and hence the farm
ers double and treble their soil output
without increasing their acreage"

Beet Pulp as Cattle Food.

In summarizing tts~ important fea.
lures Of sugar beet growing In various
parts OF the country the Department
OF Agriculture calls attention TO It's
peculiar Importance TO the middle
western states because OF tho extent
10 which stock feeding Is followed as
an industry In this territory. Beet
pulp-that Is, what remains OF the
beet after the sugar has been extract
ed-has been proved TO be the finest
feed yet discovered TOR milk cows
and for fattening cattle. sheep and
ether farm animals. This is true
whether the pulp is fed In, its wet
state as II comes from the factory or
after being dried. A business OF about
100000 year has grown up in the
sale Of dried beet pulp. In which foyD
if can be shipped 20 any distance
