AUTo-HEMIC TREATMENT.

When the body or any organ of it is
attacked by disease it at once begins
to try to drive out the invading dis
ease organisms by setting certain or
gans to work whose duty it is to
manufacture the appropriate SUBJ
stances with which to combat the dis
ease. For want of better name for
these substances medical scientists
have named them "Anti-Bodies,"
since their function is "Anti-," or
against the disease. When these
"Anti- Bodies" are strong enough to
overcome the infection the patient
gets well, but when the disease is
stronger the patient succumbs to the
infection. That method of medical
treatment, therefore, which ads the
natural forces to produce the largest
number of the particular "Anti-
Bodies" that apply to the disease with
which the patient is attacked would
be the logical system to adopt for the
cure of the disease. These "Anti-
Bodies" are always carried by the
blood stream to the point attacked by
the disease infection where they en-
ter the conflict with the invading
cagts @ Of the disease and here the bat
| tie is waged We are all familiar with
| the fact that when boil is in the
process of development the tissues
Immediately surrounding it are swol-
len and reddened, or inflamed. This
swelling is due to the over-supply of
blood at the site of infection which is
sent there to carry the "Anti-Bodies"
to fight the invading germs which
cause boil. Now if larger number
of "Anti-Bodies" could be carried in
the same amount of blood to the boil
the germs could be more quickly over
come. On this theory the system Of
treatment named "AUTO- -HEMIC"
has been worked out thru number
Of years of patient research, and thou
sands of chroncally afflicted patterns
i vouch for it's efficiency. This is tie
system that | have recently installed
in my office, and am now equipped

COTTON IN JAPAN

So great has the need of spindles
for the cotton manufacturing indus
try in Japan become since the out
break of the war that cotton interests
there are paying almost any price
for the machines. It is said that
during the last six months $4,000
spindles have been bought from run
ming American mills. The apparatus
was dismantled and sent to japanese
concerns for immediate reassembling
and operation. Most of these purch-
asses were made in the Carolinas and
in New England.
Since the European market ceased
delivering spindles to Japanese buy
sers, more than 100000 new spindles
have been ordered in this country,
entailing an outlay Of from $1,000,-
600 to $12, 100000 More than than

BIGGEST ROAD BUILDING JOB

BIGGEST ROAD BUILDING JOB.
Ames, Iowa, Feb. 29.-Plans for
the largest road building job in
America were completed today in
connection with the conference Of
of Iowa road officials which closed a
three days session at the Iowa high
way commission headquarters.
County engineers and county officials
from every county and few interest
ed farmers to the total number Of 25o
were present to hear the discussion Of
highway projects by states and feder-
al engineers.
Iowa's proposed road buildlng
plans are the most extensive yet out
lined in any state. They include the
construction of 6,4O0 miles of hard
surface road. 1t is not expected the
work will be completed for several
years. This plan is known as the
primary road system and will enter
every county in the state with a road
east and west and one north and
south. No other state has outlined
such comprehensive system of high
ways and this plan is very unique.
Funds for this work have been provi-
ded for by the state in cooperation
with federal aid.
1t was the purpose of the meeting
to become acquainted with the certi-
fled plans which are designed to elm
mate useless waiste of funds in the
construction and purchase of mate
rials. Some contracts have been let
for the work to begin as soon as the
weather permits, while others have

for this years assessment will not be
paid until next year.
Anyway, Mr.. Hooks requested
