Immediately to operation, without even
giving medical treatment trial, seem
ingly not realizing that there Is anything
to be done other than to have the goitre
cut out, therefore q large percentage OF
cases are operated upon unnecessarily,
when q cure would easily have been pos
sible by medical means. My experience
has made 1t possible many times to
observe two patients with exactly SINH
lar goitres, one Of which was operated
upon and the other treated with medi.
cine with these results. Both We're
cured. but with these differences: The
one that was operated upon had been
forced to travel long 20 ef one
goitre, and then had to remain In
hospital week or longer taken away
from home and family, exposed to surg
zeal procedure that. might easily nave
resulted in their death, had suffered
pain and inconveniences. and received 9
scar that would mar their neck. had
suffered a shock to the central nervous
system that would take months to re-
cover from, had laid themselves open TO
complications and after results, potn
developed, would have been. far more
serious than than the original condition
Of the goitre.
The patients treated by medical means
had escaped the confinement In nos
pitai, had run no chance of losing their
life in the course of their treatment, did
not receive scar, no shock to the nerv-
Gus system. had been able to pursue
their occupation throughout their course
Of treatment. Therefore. consider that
from the above comparison that It
would convince goitre patients that
well defined medical treatment is more
justifable than an operation. Hundreds
OF patients who have consulted me, felt
that an operation was their only hope,
and their last resort for cure. They
were skepticai, forgetting that goitre
can be cured by medical means. a
months treatment, however was more
than sufficient to convince them Of the
value and efficiency of my treatment
and in the end they were cured. going
on their way happy and rejoicing, for
they had escaped the much dreaded
knife.

this important subject as fully as |
wish, but l shall only be glad to 60

thought that you might possibly know
of some good young man who would
be interested in taking this course.
You understand it just requires the
student be graduate from the eighth
grade. However, many Of the boys
taking the course are high school
graduates. They are admitted in the
one year course.
There has been a big demand for
creamery operators. The boys who
are taking this course would be rec
commended for work as buttermakers,
ice cream makers, cheese makers and
operators of market milk establish
ments. The salaries that have been
paid to such men average in the neigh
borhood of $500 per month or more
the first year after leaving school.
THE second quarter begins this
year on Dec. 31st. It is possible for
a beginner to start in the second quar-
ter. In fact it is very desirable
time to start as we can place him in
a creamery as soon as he has COM
pleted that quarters work and he can
then work during the summer months.
He will thus obtain experience and
will come back and finish the other
quarter during the fall Of the year.
After he has had this experience he
will obtain more benefit from the sec
ond quarters work.
I'm reference to the general ex-
penses Of taking the course here at
Ames, the cost for taking this course
Is much the same as the other courses
considering the length Of time that
will be devoted to 1t.
If you know Of some young man
whom you consider would be benefit
ted by taking such q course we should
be glad to have him with us"

Keen breeding Ewes Well.

II is important that the breeding
ewes be properly fed, but not over
fed, says the sheep extension man AZ
Iowa State college. The young or IN
experienced farmer is likely to give
too much, too little or the wrong feed
stuffs.
One should avoid feeding too much
grain before lambing. The amount
and kinds Of feed will depend upon
the breed and the size Of the ewes,
as well as their condition when put
into winter quarters.
II the ewes are In a thin condition,
small amount Of corn may be fed,
in along with bran and oats. II corn
is not available, little barley will
do we'll with the oats and bran.
When ewes come into the winter
quarters in good condition, a mixture
Of two parts Of oats and one part OF
bran will give excellent results. The
proportion will depend upon the prices
and availability Of the two feeds.
Oats strengthen the ewes and bran
Is a laxative that serves to keep them
In good shape. A mixture OF one
third oats, one-third corn and one
third bran has been fed with good re-
suits to breeding ewes. Corn should
never be fed as the sole grain ration,
as, that is too fattening. Glover, all
falfa, or soy bean hay should be fed.
Most sheep men prefer clover to al
falfa.

G.. Holland in their hour of unut-
terable grief caused b. the death of
their second little daughter who
would have celebrated her first
birthday on the GARD of July. She

two grandmothers. She was stricken
with whooping-couGh about five
weeks ago and about 10 days ago
complications set in that would not
yield to treatment. Mr.. Holland
was at Clemson college at the time
little Anna Elizabeth grew worse
and upon receiving a telegram In
forming him of her serious condi-
ton he at once came to Edgeheld
making the journey of 100 miles in
three hours in his car.
The grief-stricken parents have
the comforting assurance that their
little darling is safe in the arms Of
Jesus" having been plucked as a
beautiful bud from this world be-
fore being blighted by sin and with
out having to endure the crosses
and hardships of a sojourn here.

No Sunday Selling.

The council has put the lid on
tight and is enforcing to the letter
the ordinance prohibiting the sale Of
merchandise on Sunday. This is as
it should be. When stores are closed
Saturday night they should not be
opened until Monday for the sale Of
merchandise. There should be no ex-
ception to this rule. Nothing should
be sold unless something that is need
ed for sickness or to relieve suffer-
ing. It is gratifying to see that all
merchants are observing the law
since an order was issued that the
be enforced.

County Campaign Meeting.

The first and only campaign meet
ing arranged by the executive conf
mittee was held in the court house
Thursday, July 4th. County Chair
man, B. E. Nicholson, presided and
after brief appropriate remarks, read
the official list of candidates. All of
the candidates were present and
agreed among themselves that they
would make no speeches in order that
the meeting might be adjourned
through respect to Senator Tillman.
On motion of Hon. N. G. Evans the
chairman appointed a committee to
draft suitable resolutions on the
death of Senator Tillman. Only a
small number Of people attended and
the session was very brief, this being
the beginning and ending of the cam
paign as far as speech making went.
And this is well because the people
are not deeply concerned about poll
tics this year. Most of them have al
ready made up their minds for whom
they will cast their ballots.
The official list of candidates is
as follows:
House Of Representatives: j. L..
Walker, S. T. Williams and ]. l..
Minis.
Auditor: j. R. Zimmerman.
Treasurer: j. r.. Minis and J. L..
