COUF PERFORMED
CURES IN CHICAGO
Little Frenchman W on Over
Many Unbelievers
NUMBER VISIT HIM
s-T
Delivered Four Lectures and
Gave Fifty-Four Treat
ments Two Days
Associated Press Dispatch.l

Chicago, February S.-M. Coue,
smiling little French druggist and
exponent of Ca passe" cure for psy-
chic ills, left Chicago last night for
Buffalo, with shouts of praise and
cries of unbelieyers ringing in his
ears.
In his two day visit here NJ. Coue
held four lectures, gave fifty four
treatments, visited the stockyards
and was disturbed continually at his
hotel by persons seeking cure for
their ailments.
Four thousand persons heard him
yesterday as he told them of his
theory for curing psychic ills by. au-
to- suggestion. ~
Last nights lecture was delivered
in quiet compared to the storm that
greeted the little druggist yesterday
afternoon.
M, Coue, reading testimonials,
was constantly interrupted by. 1.-The
hundreds of sick, crippled or dis
gruntled persons, who either sought
cure for themselves or relatives or
loudly denounced him as a failure.
Urged Audience To Keep Still
Keep still, keep still you irritate
me, M. Coue pleaded with his au-
dience.
But cripples rushed forward,
brandishing canes and crutches, all
shouting take me first; take me
first" police interfered and formed a
Gordon around the druggist.
Finishing his reading NJ. Coue
tried his cure on Samuel Miller. a
sufferer from sleeping sickness. He
began with the hand clasp, then the
Ca passe" suggestion,' and ended by
asking Miller to walk. Miller failed.
But James Macy, fourteen, brought
the audience to its feet shouting
praise. He had been operated on and
could walk only with great pain. He
repeated NJ. Coue's "ca passe," then
haltingly took few steps on the
stage. Finally he ran and jumped
about the stage, shouting: I'm cur

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch r
Washington, d. G., February s.
Legislation which would give effect
to the British debt settlement agree
ment reached recently by the Brit
ish and American debt commissions,
was taken up today by the house
ways and means committee. Chair
man Fordhey hoped to obtain fav-
orable action before night to get
house consideration Of the bill to-
morrow. :
AS introduced by Representative
Burton, republican Ohio, member
Of the American commission, the
amendment to the existing Gebt
funding law and would approve and
authorize the British settlement. In
addition it would authorize settle
ments, similar in terms, with other
governments indebted to this coun-
try Subject to the approval of the
president"
Present Bill Not Satisfactory
In its present farm bill was de-
clared to be satisfactory neither to
the majority nor the minority of the
committee. Republican members
wanted the specific terms Of the set
tlement set out in the amendment,
but it was not certain that they
W Juld insist on this because Of diff
fculties encountered by the legisla-
i've experts in writing such an
amendment.
Democrats on the committee re-
garded the provision authorizing the
commission to make settlements
with the other nations similar
terms" to the British agreement as
leaving the door wide open for much
more liberal agreements. Their chief
objection was to the section author
ling future settlements subjects
only to the approval of the presi-
dent Their argument was that en-
acting such a provision congress
would remove it's control from the
remainder of the foreign debt ag-
gregating ABOUT six billions of dol
lars.
The American debt commission
does not desire to make more fav-
oHble terms with the DICTATOR ma
lions than are embodied In the set

British government the house @a5Es

coupling the ship subsidy issue with
the British debt funding report in
his address to congress yesterday,
Senator Harrison, democrat of Mis-
sissippi, told the senate today that
the president had descended from
his high pedestal and insulted the
senate" -..
After hearing Representative Bur-
ton, the committee postponed action
on the proposed legislation until late
in the day. Chairman Fordney said
it still was his plan to report the
out before night and to OBJ

TALKED BETTER
SIRES AT AMb0Y
Splendid Meeting Was Held
There Last Night -.
DATA TELLS STORY
Advantages Of Having Pure
breds On Farm Shown
BY Speakers

Another successful better sire
meeting was held last night at Am.
boy, where a number of speakers
told of the advantages of having
purebred sires on every farm. Fred
Boesch of the First National Bank OF
Amboy presided. Mayor George E.
Kieth welcomed the visitors, and
said he was willing to even turn
over the keys of the banks as well as
those of the city to the cattlemen,
'wEo are noted for their honesty.
w. W. Hulce, cashier of the Far.
meys State Bank of Rapidan, stated
that the quality of the bulls being
the county are the very best animalc
that it is possible to secure. All o.
the animals have been carefully in
inspected, and only good producing
animals with good ancestry arc
being sold. -
Mr.. Hulce emphasized the value of
grading up cows by the use OF pure
bred bulls, rather than selling off
the herd and purchasing purebred
cows.
Comparison of Figures
Arthur Witherew, one of the but
ES BEkEi at the AmhOy To- opera Z
tive creamery, compared the output
of the Amboy creamery to that of
the Rapidan creamery. He said that
sapidan with only 1875 patrons were
producing 2IS,00O pounds of butter
fat compared with $4,000 pounds Of
butterfat produced by 200 patrons.
This is due to the fact that there
are more purebred cows of a higher
producing average in RapidGn than
in the Amboy district.
H. E. Salisbury, president OF the
Amboy creamery, mentioned a num-
Der of farmers who had purchased
purebred sires in the vicinity of
Amboy and were getting good re-
suits in the form Of larger cream
checks.
J. c. NARROW of Mankato told Of
splendid results obtained from nine
cows owned by Arthur Bosin of Good
Thunder, whose cream check of jan
uary amounted to s222.65. M. Mar
low also told of the good results
by cow testing associations.
Earl Oliver and Harry Brush also
spoke briefly on the desirability of
good breeding in dairy cattle.
Talk BY Campaign Manager
G. d. Stevens, campaign manager
of the purebred sire movement in
this state, compared results of selling
off common >beef cattle. Three car
loads of steers at Green Valley, Mo-.
from scrub sires and dams had
brought $1.67 under the top price on
the market, while the same number
of car loads OF purebred beef cattle
had brought $1.97 above the top
price or a difference of 1854 cents
per 100 pounds over the price
brought by the scrub steers. On one
thousand pounds the purebred steer
the scrubs by $36.40. He
also cited the instance of the in
creased value of the offspring of
twenty five purebred cows which
in one year to 1910.
D. Q. Graybill Of Fort Atkinson,
Wis.,. talked an permanent and pro-
fitable agriculture, and EMPHASIZED
the purebred sire as one of the three
fundamentals necessary to profitable
farming. Mr. Graybilll showed a
number of moving pictures showing
barn equipment.
The meeting was brought to a
close by the business men of Amboy
serving the two hundred farmers and
business men present with a lunch
