Railroad Head In Address at Pull

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.

Once Worthless Tract Now Sought

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Se

land formerly owned by the University
of Washington, a suit has been com

of Olympla.
The land under consideration, which
was formerly property of the univer
sity, has become valuable and has come
into the hands of others without the
consent of ...e board of regents of this
Institution. The property wss assigned
to the university during the territorial
days of Washington and came from
Thomas Chambers, who was unable to
pay Interest on money lent him by the
university commission.
The land Is now very valuable but at
the time that It was disposed of It was
worthless. Recently the Northern Pa

for a right-of-way through the land.

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. His corporation thought it

than let him go on to wreck and then
break In a new man.
'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.
If you have a friend who would Hke
to rid himself of the drink habit, write
or wire the Neal Institute, 854 Hall
