BAD DEBT IS
 BONANZA FOR KANSAS BANKER

This is the story of fortune, dis of 160 acres, that has rapped at many a door in the last thirty-five years. It was thirty-five years ago that the farm came to J. z. Miller. Jr., now governor of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank, on a bad debt of s6S4. In thirty-f1ve years MT Miller never found any one who would buy it. Seventy-fve miles from the large Miller ranch holdings, the 160acre farm was isolated, a nuis- ance and produced nothing except taxes.
 Whenever the taxes fell due, MT. Miller remen bered he had this Texas farm and promptly offered it to vari- ous Kansas City friends and asso- ciates- There never was a time when $20 an acre would not have bought the farm, with the federal gover- nor's best wishes thrown in. This was until the Granger oil pool came forth.
 The farm so long a thorn in the side of Its owner, the land that had gons begging at almost a gift, was five miles west of Granger and half ll1aC OlSldnCS northeast or ELdSClanO, Texas. A lease speculator gave d bonus of tiwce the former value of the land for the oil rights MT. Miller retaining a one-eighth royalty. Re- gently an oil company paid a fortune to that speculator for the privilege of drilling. A number of wells were started almost simultaneous Last week MT. Miller was notified that a well, estimated at from 300 to 2,OO0 barrels had been brought in at 1,584 feet. That was a new sand far above the Granger sand, still expected to be encountered in other drillings at d greater depth.
 Experts have estimated that the 160-acre farm that never earned d penny in thirty-five years should have a daily production of 52,000 barrels of oil when completely drilled in at the two levels.

gave it a Latin name which means '4burned wine.' The Germans took this into their own tongue as 'tbrane- vein" and the French later took the
 German word and made it 'brande vin.'' When the English needed word for it, they merely translated the French word and termed it bran dywine'' This was somewhat cum bersome and later the last syllable
 was dropped. In France brandy is
 now called cognac, from the city Cog
 nae where there were many distil- Ieries.
 Hard drinking seems to have trou- bled French officials much as it has
 authorities in other lands. Drunken ness was so common during the reign of Francis I. that he instituted the
 most rigorous laws against it, all though he never tried prohibition. Wine could be made but drunkards were publicly whipped and mutilated. This, however, did not improve things greatly as the French people contin- ued to drink too much.
 The public standard of the period may be illustrated by the advice given by a physician. He said that drunk enness was not at all bad thing if it
 were not indulged in too frequently He advised his patients to get drunk

once in two months. This, he thought, improved their health but if tried more often, it was a pernicious habit.
 During the later rsigns of Louis XIV. and Louis XV., intoXication was lightly regarded. The women of the nobility even drank to excess, al- though some of them could keep so- ber after indulging moderately. Madame de MOntespan and her daughter used to drink bumper after bumper of heavy Italian wine and it seemed to have no more effect upon them than water. It is not a pretty picture that is given by this extract from Q contemportry letter, The Duchesse de Bourbon can drink to ex- cess without intoxicating herself; her daughters try to follow her example, bUa are soon under the table"
 It was naturally in this artificial period that Q fad for perfumed wines was inaugurated. Musk amber and roses were used in great quantities. This was carried so far that it was extended to food as well. Pastry was snothered in musk and roast meats were brought on the table wholly hid .Gen by scented powders.

In the middle ages the introduction of distillation into France, which led to a positive craze for brandy, brought about a tremendous increase in the acreage of vineyards. One of these medieval vineyards is shown in the contemporary drawing reproduced above.
 Oscillation of wine was introduced into France in the year 1213. The liquor that was obtained in this way from the grape, known generally to- day as brandy or cognac, was at first looked upon as a marvellous beverage that promised almost eternal life. It was prescribed for every ailment; it was regarded as especially fOrtifying for the mind and the memory; it was eagerly quaffed by women who were told that it would make all who drank it beautiful beyond compare. These legen'1s did not prove true when worked out in fact but they account for the name eau de vie,' water of life, that is sometimes applied to brandy or other spirits.
 The word brandy came from a roundabout journey. The medieval sages could not think of a good word for the new liquor. Finally, as it was made from wine by using fire, they

MEN
 BLAME PROFITS
 TAX FOR x. c. |.

New York, Aug. 12. - Declaring that the present excess profits taxes are partially responsible for the high cost of living, the National Associa- tion of Credit Men mailed to Presi- dent Wilson, his Cabinet and every member of Congress a strong state ment asking for immediate legislation which will do away with the con- sumption taxes on the necessities of life The statement, which is signed by R. G. Elliott as chairman of the special war tax advisory committee, has the backing of the 29.5OO mem- bers of the National Association of Credit men, comprising the leading manufacturers, wholesalers, jobbers and financial institutions in the Unit ed States. The appeal for inm edi- ate action by Congress declares that there can be no question but that a tax assessed against the business entity has in many instances the eff feet of causing high prices with the resultant higher expenses based on increased cost of living.

NOT PROBABLE CAFES WILL BE
 OPENED AGAIN

E. L. G. Hohenthal of South Man chester, chairman of the prohibition party state committee, has made pub lie a, letter received from Attorney General Frank E. Healy in which he expresses the opinion that it is pos sible but not probable that President Wilson will take action allowing liquor dealers to reopen, and Tn which he declines to take action at this time on a demand made by Mir. Hohentha1 for the return of license fees of liquor dealers. The letter from the attorney general follows:
 Attorney Generals Office.
 State of Connecticut.
 August 5, 1919. MT. Emil L. G. Hohenthal, Chairman. Connecticut Prohibition Committee,
 South Manchester, Conn. Dear Sir
 Replying to your letter requestins ; me to issue a proclamation under Chapter 164 of the session laws of 1919, declaring the sale or dispensing of liquor by authority of a liquor 1i- cense or club certificate to be unlaw- ful, I wish to advise you that I do not think the time has yet arrived for me to issue such a proclamation.
 The intent of this law is for the protection of the holders of licenses and club certificates by returning to them a certain portion of the license fee. That is the sole purpose of the act It bears no relation to prohibi- ton or enforcement of prohibition laws. Those are ably taken care of by government officials entrusted to their enforcement.
 Those licenses were issued in good faith under the laws of this state for a certain period of time and while sales of liquor under them are sus- pended under the wartime prohibition rider to the agricultural bill, it is pos sible, but not probable, that an off, cial proclamation by the President of the United States based on the de- mo civilization of the army will allow holders of these licenses to resume business under them before eXpira- tion by limitation. The monetary rights of holders of licenses and club in my judgm lent, the time has arrived for me to notify the county conmis- sioners to reimburse them under the terms of the act.
 am,
 Yours very truly,
 FRANK F. HEALY,
 Attorney General.

MAKE TROUBLE FOR DENTIST
Successful Treatment Of Wisdom
Teeth Always Is More or Less
Of q Problem.

Wisdom teeth, especially lower ones,
are much more difficult to handle than
any of the others in the mouth. When
their nerve dies or has to be killed
by the dentist he cannot he sure for
some time that II is really dead. The
reason Is that the roots of Il wisdom
tooth are twisted or curved in such n
manner that the root canal cannot be
explored.
The upper wisdom teeth have three
roots, Frequently fused together,
forming n grooved cone, which is usn-
ally curved backward" says Gray's an
atomy. "The roots Of the lower, two
In number, are compressed together
and curve backward"
II is this backward curving of II
compressed roots that gives trouble
the dentist. often the canal th,
run. through each root is so narrow
md so curved that the finest of the
"hrnoches" used to draw out the dead
nerve will not penetrate and some
times when it has penetrated it will
rot come out.
When this happens there is only one
thing To do--leave the brooch and ap-
pit iodine. which will very soon eat
AWAY the steel of which the brooch il
made,
