DEATH BEFORE 100
YEARS IS SUICIDE
Prof. Munyon Says Ignorance
of Laws of Health Explains
Early End of Life.
NOTED SCIENTIST HAS
ENCOURAGING WORD
FOR DESPONDENT
MEN AND WOMEN
"Death before 100 years of age has
been reached is nothing more or less
than slow suicide. A man (or woman)
who dies at an earlier age is simply Igno
rant of the laws of health.”
Such was the original and rather
startling statement made by Professor
James Si. Munyon, the famous PhUadel
fihia health authority, who is establish*
ng health headquarters in all the large
cities of the world for the purpose of get
ting in direct touch with his thousands
of converts.
Professor Munyon is a living embodi
ment of the cheerful creed he preaches.
Virile, well poised, active and energetic,
he looks as though ho would easily at
tain the century age limit which he de
clares is the normal one. He said:
“I want the people of the world to
know my opinions on the subject of
health, which are the fruit of a life-lime
devoted to healing the sick, people of
America. There isn’t a building in this
city big enough to house the people In
this State alone who have found health
through my methods. Before 1 get
through there won’t be a building big
enough to house my cured patients In
this city alone.
“I want, most of all, to talk to the sick
people—the invalids, the discouraged
ones, the victims of nerve-wearing, body
racking diseases and ailments—for these
are the ones to whom the message of
hope which I bear will bring the great
est blessing.
“I want to talk to the rheumatics, the
sufferers from stomach trouble, the ones
afflicted with that noxious disease, ca
tarrh. I want to tell my story to the
women who have become chronic In
valids as a result of nervous troubles. I
want to talk to the men who are ‘all run
down,’ whose health has been broken by
overwork, improper diet, late hours and
other causes, and who feel the creeping
clutch of serious, chronic illness.
“To these people I bring a story of
hope. I can give them a promise of bet
ter things. I want to astonish them by
showing the record of cures performed
through my new system of treatment.
“I have taken the best of the Ideas
from all schools and embodied them in
a new system ot treatments individually
adapted to each particular case. I have
no ‘cure alls,’ but my present method of
attacking disease is the very best thought
of modern science. The success which I
have had with these treatments in this
city and all over America proves Its effi
cacy. Old methods must give away to
new medical science moves. I know what
my remedies are doing for humanity
everywhere. I know what they will do
for the people of this city. Let me prove
my statements—that’s all I ask."

“WHY SHOULD I USE
CUTICURA SOAP?
“There is nothing the matter with
toy skin, and I thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles.” True, it
Is for skin troubles, but its great mis
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
It is also Invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that It wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making its
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to “Cuticura,"

COUNTRY SCHOOL OF TODAY
Three Hundred Structures of the
Modern Type Building In Kan
sas This Year.
Topeka, Kan.—Kansas has finally
decided that the old-fashioned, unsan
itary, Ill-lighted and poorly-appointed
schoolhouse does not produce the
best results, and more new and thor
oughly modern schoolhouses are be
ing built in the country school dis
tricts this year than ever before.
More school districts have issued
bonds for new buildings this year
than were ever offered to the state
school fund commission before, and
the bonds are for larger amounts,
<joo rypr or -school HOi/dfr'
/va0£/?/y cov/yr/?y jwoo/./ro£j£
which mean better schoolhouses than
usual.
The ordinary schoolhouse has cost
from $500 to $800. It was simply a
big box, of straight lines, with four
windows on each side, a door at one
end and a stove in the center. But
the new buildings cost from $1,200 to
$2,000, and they are thoroughly mod
ern in lighting, with furnace heat,
some even with steam heat, and with
genuine slate blackboards. Every
convenience known to the city
schools is being installed in the coun
try schools also.
There are many boys and girls now
In the high schools and colleges of the
state who got their common school
education in one of these old-fash
ioned box schoolhouses and there are
a few who went to school in an old
sod schoolhouse. There are a few of
these old sod schoolhouses still stand
ing but not a single one is in use in
Kansas now. All have been replaced
by the modern structures.
Since the first of the year more
than 300 school districts have Issued
bonds for schoolhouses. In every In*
stance the bonds were issued for new
buildings. The old ones were used
last winter for the last time and
when the children started to school
this fall they went to a new buHd
ing with every comfort that Is possi
ble to give them. Some districts do
not have to issue bonds for the new
structures.

The growth of the trees on the roof,

that there will be considerable dam

GARDEN OF THE GODS
Great Scenic Feature of the
Pike’s Peak Regio
"Sentinel of the Plains” Stands Guard
Over 8ection Where Titanic
Forces Have Wondrously
Wrought.
Denver, Colo.—No scenic feature of
the Pike’s Peak region of Colorado
has such a world-wide fame as the
Garden of the Gods. Passing through
its gigantic rock-portals, 330 feet In
height, one enters a region where
Titanic forces have been at play.
Here are cathedral spires, and bal
anced rocks weighing a thousand
tons; strange grotesque shapes, mam
moth caricatures of animals crouch or
spring from vantage points hundreds
of feet in air or gleam oddly from the
pines.
The gateway to the Garden rises to
twice the height of Niagara’s mighty
fall, framing In terra cotta a superb
picture of azure and tawny peaks.
Eagles nest In the rocky crags. Pur
ling brooks alive with mountain trout.
Against the turquois sky a flight of
birds soars almost out of sight, wee
bits of life amid the grandeur of
mountain tops and lofty minarets.
Pike's Peak in a way stands sen
tinel ever the Garden of the Gods.
Pike’s Peak is the historic beacon
summit which guided the early ex
plorers across the great plains, and
it rears its snowy crest in the midst of
a veritable wonderland. Here Nature
Is seen in her grandest as well as in
some of her most fantastic moods.
Great mountain peaks are here —mas-
sive, gigantic—lifting themselves into
the regions of perpetual snow. Here
are a half dozen stupendous canyons,
each miles in length, where the gran
ite mountains have been cleft asun
der and rock walls rise perpendicu
larly a thousand feet. Here medicinal
springs gush forth for healing and re
freshment Here, too, was the play
ground of Titanic forces when the
world was young—rock forms of every
size, shape and color; rising In airy
pinnacles like the spires of a Milan,
or in solid shafts against which all
the forces of modern enginery might

beat In vain, or In lofty spires so slen
der that one almost fears to lean his
pu~y weight against them.
From the summit of Pike’s Peak
the view is sublime. To the west is a
mountain wilderness. To the east is
a boundless plain. Against the west
ern horizon stretches an unbroken
snowy range, lying sometimes in a
sapphire haze and again silhouetted
against the clear Colorado sky. A
great, rock-strewn region lies at tbe
base, out of which gleam the wind
swept obelisks of the Garden of the
Gods. 1
Steamboat Rock stands about the
center of the Garden of the Gods and
on top of it is a number of powerful
telescopes. This rock is about 30 feet
high and has tbe appearance of the
deck of a steamboat.
A large rock about 25 feet high,
standing in the Garden of the Gods,
is called the Chinese temple because
of Its round shape and its temple-like
appearance.
EARS LIKE BANANAS ON CORN
Freak Crop of Maize Grows In the Gar
den of an Arkansas
Farmer.
Hermitage, Ark.—W. C. Pierson of
this place had two short rows of corn
in his garden that developed more ears
to the stalk than ever heard of before
in this country.
The corn was planted February 15,
and at first the usual number of ears
developed. Then came an extra sup
ply, until some of the stalks looked
like banana trees. The small ears were
pulled off when partly developed and
fed to the stock. Aa fast aa the stalks
were trimmed of their crop of small”
ears another lot came on. Some of
the small ears grew in clusters like
bananas.

passed through Mack’s right eyelid,
through his nose and into his left eye.
"You brute, how dare you touch my
hat!" the woman cried as she felt the
tug on her headgear.
