Nj AXE A FIT SEED
 BED FOR WHEAT Improperly Prepared Soil May Result in Poor Stand and Loss of Entire Investment.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 25-"Make the seed bed fit for the seed. Do not intern wheat worth $3 or S4 a bushel for seed purposes in condition of soil impossible for germination.
 That precaution is urged by the United States Department of Agri- culture on all farmers who cOntem- plate sowing the high priced seed of a high priced food this fall. To plant seed on poorly prepared land not only wastes the seed that does not germn- ate, the specialists point out, but it may mean the loss of an entire invest ment if paying stand is not obtained.
 4 seed bed for wheat must he firm, moist and we'll compacted beneath with a mellow, finely divided upper three inches of soil, the specialists advise. If wheat is grown in rotation with oats or after wheat, the stubble should be plowed to a depth of at least [ inches immediately a'tar har- Vcsting the preceding crop o' %raln. The ground should be harrowe with in d few hours after blowing a1I cul- tivation with harrow. disk, drag, or roller should be given as necessary thereafter until planting time. These operations are necessary to kill weeds, to settle and make firm the subsoil, and to maintain a soil mulch on the surface. The earlier the preparation of a seed bed for wheat is started the better the condition of the soil will be at planting time. Late blowing does not allow time for thorough prepara- tion
 If a cultivated crop precedes wheat, freouent cultivation given to this crop will preserve moisture and maintain a soil mulch. If level cultivation has been practiced a good seed bed easily can be prepared by disking and har- rowing after removing the crop. How ever. if weeds are present, 1t may be advisable to blow shallow, the disk preceding and following the blow.

Californian Had
 Kidney Trouble

Jack Maltos, Copperopolis. Calif.. says: "I had such severe case of kidney trouble l thought l would have to sell out my business. l took three bottles of Foley Kidney Pills which entirely relieved me and l have had no recurrence of kidney trouble since then"
 Some days it seems as if you can no longer bear the pain and misery you suffer from kidney and bladder troubles. The ache across your back grows worse with every move you make and every step you take. It just seems to rob you of all strength and energy Your head aches, you are nervous and worn out, sleep poorly and have no appetite, stomach is up- set and bowels irregular.
 sFoley Kidney Pills lessen the pain, until it is finally gone entirely. They give strength and tone to the kidneys make them strong, active, their ac- tion becomes regular and normal again, and your health grows better each day you take this great healing medicine.

5OO CHILDREN EXAMINED

Abo1t 500 pupils in the schools of nJlow Mass, between the ages of s
 SJ15 vaars. were recently examined
 .I tho conditions of the teeth and a,ontb found most deplorable. The a,os+ striking feature observed was tho neglect of dental cleanliness and obspnce of any evidence of dental +roatment beyond few instances in -,h;cb teeth had been extracted. Prob oblv not more than three out of 100 nOssessed brushes and showed signs of lsing them regularly, and these +bree were practically free from de- cav Bacterial deposits, tartar, re- ,,,ains of food and every degree of malodorousness and poisoning were evident Many children were suffer ;ng from undue retention of tempor- arv teeth, but still more from the rromature loss of them, showing the ntter neglect by the parents of the first set of teeth, which from den fists standpoint is most important. The six year molar was invariably badly decayed. Probably 50 per cent would have to be treated or extract cd The six-year molar is very con- fusing to parents and children, as it comes before the temporary teeth are shed and is therefore taken for one of the first set and neglected from ignor- ance It is evident from this inspec- ton that something must be done. First of all, the public must be con- vinced that the object of such move ment is for the public welfare and not primarily and chiefly the personal profit of the dentists.
 Dentists in their daily practice sec to their teeth The disastrous results from a lack of knowledge on the sub ject of oral hygiene are seen on every hand. Suffering humanity needs more thought upon the subject and needs it badly, because our future health and
 appineSs to a great extent depend upcn it. How can we best accomplish dental education among the masses of the people? Dentists cannot get at the masses of children growing up around us to teach them, and the parents as a rule are entirely ignorant on the subject. It would seem that this must be taken up in our public schools, But how to accomplish this IS question. We are supposed to have medicinal inspection in our schools, which is all good as far as it goes-it is step in the right direc- tion, but it is not broad enough, it does not take in the teeth, at least the examiner ignores that part of it; yet any physician knows the great import ance that mastication plays in diges- non.-The Dental Summary.

Frank Haley Would Like to

Frank Haley of Henryetta, state
mine Inspector of the Third district, is
one Oklahoma veteran who couldn't
be handed a military commission on
silver platter. He wants to enlist
in the Roosevelt overseas outfit as a
buck private. Incidentally he offers
$500 in cash to the mess of any com
pany that will take him on" He has
wired the colonel to that effect.
Would-be Private Haley believes
the Roosevelt division should have
at least one private within It's ranks;
that so far he has heard only of those
who want to be officers, generals and
colonels and things.

Private Haley is veteran of the
celebrated "Crazy Snake war" In that
melee he rose to the rank Of kettle
tender" When the '9S rookus broke
out with Spain. he swarmed forth and
tried TO enlist in the Third Texas in
fantry but on account OF a defective
eye, or something, was turned down"
That made him mad, and when the
late lamented Crazy Snake busted
loose from his moorings he grabbed
such warlike weapons as he could lay
his hands upon-a bungstarter, and
maybe corkscrcw--and lit out.
While the embryo private was tell
