I 6 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. DECEMBER 4, 1910. SLIGHT LIFE OF RURAL CONDEMNED President Elliott, of Northern Pacific, Advises Students to Heed Call. FARMERS GREATEST NEED Railroad Head In Address at Pull man College Declare Country Pursuits Are Best for Young Men and Women. STATES COLLKGE. Pullman. Tub. Dec. . pectal. Addressing- 1000 students of the State College and cltl sens of Pullman and adjacent country. President Killott. of the Northern Pa- clfle Railway, declared that one of the 'greatest needs of the day Is better 'appreciation of country living- by peo ple of the United States. "In the last 100 years there has been a marked drifting away from the coun ttrr to the city." he said. "In 1S00 only J.10 per cent of the people of the Uni ted States lived In cities. The census Just taken will probably show oyer 13 per cent living In towns and cities. , 'The great work In Washington un jder the leadership of President Bryan In showing how to nuke better use of the land, how to nuke country life j more desirable. Is a great work In the I whole United States. Especially la It a 'great work for the young men nnd women of today who are able to secure la college education. We must have ! people who like to live in the country. !Wi must hae country ttfe made more please.nt. Tliere Is no tetter life for 1 the young man or young woman than 'a home In the country. They -nn do better fur themselves tliere. Scientific farming Is Just as Important, and will In time produce Just as good results as scientific work In any other pursuit. Accuracy Is Ucmanvled. Tt has been 30 years since I left college. My work has been altogether with the railroads. It has been at times arduous and at other times pleasant. In view of the experiences I have had. I want to urge upon all stu dents the great desirability of learning- accuracy and thoroughness. Too often we have young men come into the railways who are not accurate In their statements, not thorough In thel Investigations, and when we ask them to do something, tbey do not do It right. They hand In reports which are Incomplete and inaccurate. "That Is not the sort of men who can succeed In railroad work, or In farming. In Washington. D. C, I have often observed a sign over the door of a humble blacksmith ship. It reads. "'Horses Shod by a Horseshoer." Not horses shod by a Jeweler or a farmer, but by a horseshoer who knows tha' business. This man knows horseshoe tng. If you are a farmer, know how to farm: If you are a merchant, know the mercantile business: If yon are a railroad man. know rail roadlng. In this and other col leges and universities young men nd women have a rare opportunity to learn many useful things: but learn first of all. and most completely, vuracy and thoroughness. (Special.) Notwithstanding the revo lution. Captain Cook, a rich land owner, has gone to Sonoro, Mexico, to spend tha Winter. This old veteran was cap tain of a boat on the Pacific during tha Civil War. He also served five years nnder Commander Dewey, and was on the Mississippi when It was blown up. The first orchard planted In Whits Salmon country was set out by Captain Cook, who came here SI years ago. His trees thrived without water. The demonstration not only proved the old soldier's wisdom, but made him a rich man. MUSH EATEN; MAN DIES Grant Geddes, Prominent Railroad Official, Stricken at Table. BAKER. Or.. Dec J. (Special.)

He had. pains like rheumatism In the back, shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and distress sfter eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart became affected, caus ing palpitation and sleeplessness at night. "I gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an experiment I finally bought EO-eent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug store and gave them to him. Almost immediate relief was given and after he had used four boxes he was to all appearances fully cured. "There was no more acidity or sour, watery risings, no bloating after meals, the appetite was vigorous and he has gained between 10 and 1$ pounds in weight of solid, healthy flesh. "Although Sauart's Dyspepsia Tab lets are advertised and sold in drug stores, yet I consider them a moat val uable addition to any physician's line of remedies, as they ' are perfectly harmless and can be given to children or invalids or In any condition of the stomach with perfect safety. being harmless and containing nothing but fruit and vegetable essences, pure pep sin and Golden Seal. "Without any question they are the safest, most effective cure for Indiges tion, blllousnss." constipation and all derangements of the stomach, however alight or severe." i It Is really startling the number of men who are right at the edge of "the falllng-off place" and fall to realize their danger. Excessive drinkers rarely see them selves as others see them. They realize, of course, that the crav ing for drink is stronger within them than it once was, and they know that they are compelled to drink oftener to satisfy that craving, but they do not know how often their growing habit Is the cause of much concern and earnest discussion among business associates and those who are interest ed in their welfare. Many men, once excessive drinkers, who were absolutely freed from the bondage of desire for drink by a three days' stay at the Neal Institute, did not go of their own accord. They were persuaded to take the treatment by intimates who could see what strides they were making toward bankruptcy In health and fortune, be cause business Instinct, once bright, was growing dull under the poisoning effects of alcohol. Several bright and brainy men, heads of departments In corporations and business houses, have gone to the Neal Institute sent there by their' com panies in a last effort to save them. One bright Portland business man went home during the past week light-hearted, happy, and with all the terrible handicap of resistless desire for liquor completely rooted out of his system.

'Th! man," wrote his employer to the Neal Institute, "has been associat ed with us for 16 years in an important and confidential position. For the past three years he has been addicted to drink and the habit growing- worse as time passed, until, like all other cases of this kind, his position and his very life, for that matter, are now at stake, to say nothing of the happiness of his ' mother and sisters. We will gladly co- . operate with you In any way to restore him to hJs former self, as he is a very V capable and reliable man minus the liquor habit - . - Three davs at the Neal Tnntttuta did for this business man Just what the Neal Treatment has done for thousands of others all over this country. That mother and sisters welcomed ' home a son and brother who had en throned digrnlty and was no lonur-er a slave to drink but master of himself. This case 1 only one of many simi lar ones. It is a great deal better to save a brig-ht, brainy fellow than to "break In" green hands, and many firms have found that it is not only good business but sound ' economy to go a little beyond ordinary lines and help victims of excessive drink get on their feet, sober, with cleared brains, brightened eyes and nerves restored. The Neal Treatment is simple, yet very attractive. Dr." Neal, after many years of the most painstaking profes sional and thorough study, experiment and Investigation, has found and demonstrated that the drink habit, in stead of being a disease or sn lnherite affliction, is due to the stored-up poi son In the system, coming from the continued and excessive use of alcohol. After discovering and demonstrating this he found the antidote for this poi son, and its administration results in the neutralization of this poison. The poison thus antidoted and neutralized is eliminated from the system, and the desire, appetite and craving for drink at onco destroyed or lost. Bushels of letters from' happy folks in all parts of the land can be shown, giving testimony to the fact that the Neal Treatment does cure in three days' time. Dr. Howard James, of Boston, a specialist in liquor cases, declares: "The Neal Cure Is in all practical sense of the term a specific for alco holism In all Us manifestations." Those who have carefully investigat ed the Neal Treatment are the most enthusiastic In indorsing it. Investi gation is most earnestly Invited. The Neal Institute guarantees satisfaction or a refund of the money.
