KASPARILLA
Tl.is sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for a “world of
troubles.” For derangements of the di
gestive organs it is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthful activity.
Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
iirocesses of digestion and assimilation of
ood, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions.
Kasparilla dispels drowsi
ness, headache, backache and despond
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. It is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
If it fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

BIS FOUR CHILDREN HIS GUESTS
Fulfills Promise to Distribute Wealth
Amorg Youngsters “In Time
To Do Them Some Good.”
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 17.—At the
gulden wedding supper recently given
by him and his wife, W. H. Singer,
one of the Pittsburg steel magnates,
distributed $ 1 «>.<*011.000 among his four
children, each child getting $1,1)00,000.
Through the filing of certain papers
in the Allegheny county courthouse
yesterday this fact came out. and was
later admitted by the Singer family,
which is one of the best and oldest
in Pittsburg. The millionaire invited
his children to assist in celebrating
his golden wedding anniversary on
May 27. The children were the only
guests, and each found by his or her
plate a small "dinner favor,” consist
ing of checks, bonds and deeds
amounting to $4.000,0.10.
The Singer children who received
$4000,000 each are:
William Henry Singer, Jr., land
scape painter, now in Norway.
George Singer, iron manufacturer.
Pittsburg, now in the White moun-
tains on his vacation.
Mrs. William Ross Proctor, wife of
a Philadelphia architect.
Marguerite Singer, youngest datigli-
ter, now living with her parents.
Mr. Singer made his fortune in iron
as a member of the famous iron firm
of Singer, Nimick & Co. He also is
connected with many banking insti
tutions in Pittsburg, and is considered
one of the very rich men of the coun
try, his remaining fortune, after giv
ing his children their share, being
probably $15,000,000.
Mrs. Singer, who has a fortune of
her own, made through investments
by her husband, received several
pieces of valuable real estate as her
golden wedding present.
A peculiar feature of the case was
made known late yesterday. William
Henry Singer, the son, who chose an
artistic career rather than the iron
business as his life's work, will scarce
ly be able to enjoy his millions in
America, owing to the great fear his
wife bears for the “Black Hand.” She
received a threatening letter at her
home in Sewickley, and it frightened
her into hysterics. Her husband was
finally compelled to take her abroad.
It is said they will remain permanent
ly in Norway, as Mr. Singer expects,
in spite of his wealth, to spend all his
time in painting.
Mr. Singer is following the policy
laid down by his life-long friend.
Charles Lockhart, of the Standard Oil
company, who some years before his
death, invited all his children to a
dinner party, at which, under each
plate, was found $1,006,000. Lock
hart and Singer many years ago prom
ised each other that they would be
gin to distribute their wealth among
their children “in time to do the

Union Pacific Secures Control of Chi
cago & Northwestern.
Chicago, Sept. 16.—A report from
Wall street of a traffic agreement be
tween the Union Pacific and the Chi
cago & Northwestern, amounting to
complete control of the latter road
by the former, gained strength yes
terday in financial circles on the re
fusai of Marvin Hughitt, president of
the Northwestern, to discuss state
ments made in the Wall Street Sum
ntary under the head of "Harriman
Properties.”
The report is that the Harriman in
terests have absorbed the Chicago &
Northwestern by the simple device
of a guarantee on the stocks of the
latter company. It is pointed out
in the article, which appears to be
inspired, that the strategetic position
of the Chicago & Northwestern is
such that it will not come within the
meaning yf the law that prohibits
merging or single control of parallel

ALASKA WHEAT.
MAKES
* A LASTING CURE
Idaho Experiment Station Man Writes
Concerning It.
|
B> It. E I. Hysiop. Agronomist. University of Idaho
Agri '.cultural Experiment Station, M obcow .
On account of the numerous in
quiries coming into our station, we
find it necessary to issue this press
bulletin concerning the so-called
"Alaska” wheat.
Ibis wheat, when given ample field
space or conditions favorable to the
individual plant, has a branching head
borne on a rather tough straw at a
height of between four and five feet,
The mesh bears two and three ker-
nels. When grown under close field
cond’tions the head tends to be much
smaller, branches less, and the mesh
bears from one to two kernels, very
seldom three. If heads grown under
these conditions alone were examined
the impression would be obtained that
this wheat never bears blit two ker
nels to the mesh, a mistake which
some writers appear to have made.
The beards, while not numerous,
are dark in color and considerably
stronger than we find on our common
wheats, but not so long or stiff as
those found on the durutns or maca
roni wheats. The normal kernel i?
light in color, short and plump, with
an unusually open groove, which al
lows the kernel to be easily broken
in threshing A cross-section shows
the interior to be white and powdery,
with comparatively little horny starch
The shrunken kernels naturally are
harder.
Taking everything into considera
tion, 1 am led to conclude that this
is the Egyptian or Miracle wheat, a
Poulard, and that it belongs to that
variety of the Egyptian known a-
Eldorado, which is very closely re
lated to the seven-headed variety.
The Poulards are peculiarly adapted
to dry regions, but never have been
grown to any extent in America
Their yields have never proved to be
of such a nature as to warrant their
extensive growth, even for stock food
And the inferiority of the flour pro
duced from them has prevented their
use to any extent for the production
of bread.
The high yields claimed for the
wheat in this section of the country,
in some cases 277 bushels per acre,
are fabulous One of the promoters
states that from one head of the
wheat he obtained seven pounds;
from these seven pounds he produced
1545 pounds, or a yield in round num
bers of 220 fold It is from these
figures that the yields noted in the
various papers, and in the circular of
the Adams-Hobe Seed Grain com
pany, of Juliaetta, Idaho, are com
puted To show the ridiculousness of
computing yields in this way. we de
termined in a couple of cases, the
number of grains produced from one
seed of Little Club grown under fa-
vorable conditions in our breeding
plat. One plant produced 1176; the
other 1800 kernels. Now, reasoning
as this seed company has done, if we
should plant one bushel of this Little
Club to the acre, we would obtain
1176 or 1800 bushels. This would be
a rather high yield, even for Idaho.
This year the company had 700
acres in the wheat grown on different
farms in this locality, A thirty-acre
tract near Moscow,
which was
threshed in the middle of August,
went about thirty-two bushels per
acre. Mr. Adams stated at that time
that his best yields had been thirty
five bushels. He supplemented this
remark, however, with the statement
that his stands were poor in every
case. But considering the large acre
age, the fact that several different
farmers grew the crop, and the effect
of a close stand, noted above, we must
take this as an indication, at least, of
the yielding power of the wheat. This,
however, would not be considered an
extra large yield for this country
The analy sis of the wheat upon
which the company appears to base
its hopes amounts to practically noth
ing in determining the bread-making
quality of the flour It is true, that
bluestem wheat, which analyzes higher
in protein than Little Club, makes a
better quality of flour, but it is also
true that macaroni wheat, which an
alyzes higher in protein than Blue
stem, makes a lower class of flour,
and consequently is discriminated
against by the miller. The low-grade
flours turned out from our mills usu
ally show a higher protein content
than the patent Corn has consider
able protein, but the chemist seems
unable to find any gluten (that all cs
sential part of a good flour)
liven
if the chemist had found a high gluten
content in "Alaska” wheat, we wou'd
still not be justified in concluding
that the wheat would make a good
quality of flour The proof of the
wheat is in the bread it will make
promised to have a milling te«t made
Upon our request the company hat
■ oon. Until this test is made, how
ever, we must assume that the wheat
will make no better flour under the
name of “Alaska" than it <1 <1 when
known as “Wheat of Miracle."
In spite of all the beautiful stories
which have been written concerning
the origin of this wheat, regardless of
the many wonderful things which
have been imagined about its quality.
■ nd taking into consideration the ini
pression as to yield, which has so
skillfully been
thrown broadcast
throughout the American continent by
this seed company, who advertise their
wheat for sale at #20 per bushel, we
have yet to find any point of merit
in it which would warrant the public
paying m >re for "Ala ka” wheat than
the prevailing market price of our
common varieties.
There are certain mineral medicines which will remove the external
symptoms of Contagious Blood Poison, and shut the disease up in the
system for awhile, but when the treatment is left of! the disease will surely
return. Then the loathsome symptoms ti u’.ceta'.ed mouth and throat,
copper-colored spots, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc., are usually worse
because the disease has made rapid progress on the internal members, and
weakened tb.e constitution and general health of the sufferer. S. S. S. is
the only renu '.y that can 1.- u ■ ' w : h p feet safety in the treatment of
Contagious Blood Poison, and v

This medicine, made entirely of roots and herbs of recognized
curative and tonic value, antidotes and destroys the powerful virus of the
disease, and by purifying the blood of every particle of the poison and
enriching and stren tlienin/ the circulation, removes every sypmptom of
the trouble. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up the disease- in any way, but
drives it entirely out from the blood, leaving not the slightest trace for
future outbreaks.
