Evidence like the above is abundant showing that the

last year. The production of wheat
is said to be less in the United States
this year, but this is offset to some
extent by the big wheat crop of Rus
sia and Argentina, which will reduce
the foreign' demand for American
wheat. The aggregate of crop3 in
the United States, Mr. Wilson says,
was about 7.6 per cent, greater in
1910 than in 1909, and about 9.1 per
cent, higher than the 10-year average.
As corn, the great meat producing
grain, takes the lead in this increase,
the Secretary of Agriculture figures
that meat prices will soon fall unless
they are held up by combinations.

Vinol Creates Strength
HERE IS PROOF
" After a long attack of Grippe,'
Mrs. Vaught seemed unableto re
cover her strength. She was very
weak and had no appetite. VI

tion and restored her to health. I
sincerely recommend its use during
convalescence ' or any run down

Judge C. N. Vaught,
Huntsville, Ala.
Miss Adelaide Gamm, of Water-
town, Wis., writes, "Alter a severe
attack of the Grippe, my system
was in a very weakened, nervous,
run-down condition. I took VI
NOL with the best of results,
and it made me feel better and
stronger than I have been for years."
We have never sold in our store
a more valuable health restorer for

this vicinity to try VINOI. with

Mr. Lindgren says the professor
didn't keep the appointtrient, but
Lindgren was net discouraged. He
prepared for the coming of the 6pirt
the next night. He . brought to bis
home a dozen dry plates in the origi
nal package, and at hi3 request they
were opened by a Iriend of his wife,
Mias Alva Franson, who put them in
the plate holders in the darkened
room. Mr. Lindgren had asked her
to do that because she bad hinted at
photographic trickery.
The camera containing the plate
was on the edge of the dining room
table, at which Mr. and Mrs. Lind
gren and Miss Franson were seated,
when Mr. Lindgren, looking toward
the living room, saw the wraith form
ing. He went into the room and ex
tinguished the gas light, then went
to the dining room and exposed the
camera plate.
Mr. Lindgren says that it was his
purpose after getting thephotograph,
which he deemed most important, to
engage the spirit in conversation, but
before he could do so it had vanished
When asked what the spirit looked
like Mr. Lindgren gave a fairly accu
rate description of Profeesor James as
he appeared in life.

nidations with hhUis.-mbcdid spirit
One claims to have photographed
that spirit: another publishes a Iocs
account, supposed to be from Dr,
James, of his - sensations at death.
Such messages and-' photographs he-
long to trie A li l; ot psychical re
search. They r.ic' yjgu-; they prove
nothing; it take?, indeed, a good deal
of imigination to accept them seri
ousiy. The corr.naqn or garden spirit
ualist, whenever the polio take i
nap, inflames ignorant folk with just
such balderdash and profits vastly by
their credulousne?s.
It seerm a pity that b man of Dr
James' high attainments -should he
made so ludicrous lu death, and yet
it is a penalty attaching inevitihly
to the work which eniratrtd him
rhe late F. W. H. Myers, the Eug-
lish psychologist, also made a prom
ise to communicate with his friends,
if possible, after deatli, and no sooner
hsd he been laid in his grave than a
m ultitude of prepostero us 'messa sies' '
from his spirii were announced by
professional necromancers. These
messages, like a!l so ca'Ied spirit
communications, were childish and
nonsensical so much so, indeed, that
Mr. Myers' son put a stop to them
by threatening to bring actions fur
libel against those who published
them. Unless that device is adopted
by the family of Dr. James, the
"mffisages" from him will increase
in number, and as they thus multiply
thf y will also move rapidly ard in
evitably toward the fl t )d;;:xi!ian
maximum.
WIFE SLAYS HUSBAND.
I :
She Wanted ( Dt aid Gald ( Br
to !, Him Behind.
New York, Nov. 14. Dr. Theo
dore B. Burgtorf was shot'acd killed
by his wife, Anna, in their home in
Bronxborough today.
After shooting her bu3band Mrs.
Burglorf turned the revolver cn her
self, the bullet entering her abdoa en.
She was taken in an unconscious con
dition to a hospital, where it was said
that she probably would die. The
cause of the shooting i not known.
WAS VICTIM OF DISEASE.
It developed that Mrs. Burgtorf
hdd long been the victim of a facial
disease which caused her excruciat-
lU' pain. This, she gasped out at
tne hospital, made her wish to die
and she sliot her husband, who was
a prominent physician in the upper
part of the city, because she could not
tiear to leave him behind.
The physician was shot us he lay
sleeping, the bullet penetrating his
side. When he rolled to the floor
and breathed his last his wife shot
herself twic9 in the abdomen and
side. '
TELLS HER STORY.
Before she lapsed into unconscious
ness the woman managed to tell the
stcry of her suffering and its effects.
Of her husband she said:
"I ju3t couldn't bear to die and
leave him behind, because I loved
him so," she moaned. "Jealousy
yes, that's what it is. Maybe it's sel
fish of me, but I just couldn't help
it."
Although ia an extremely critical
condition, Mrs. Burgtorf refused to
let hospital surgeons operate on her
tonight. She was determined to die,
she said feebly, and would sanction
no attempt to prolong her life.

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the

When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
