^ / - v £?&'>!%• , Battle Creek Sanitarium* /'r -J ¥' Battle Creek! What memories that ',/•'.§if name conjures up--memories of other IH days--even the pioneer days, when the J redmen of the northern lake region* bent the bow and smeared their faces with keai--braided their flowing locks ' with feathers of the porcupine and jVf - wild eagle, that they might appear more wild, if possible, than before. '. And as they painted the cheeks and '-~'a braided the hair, the squaw-women - V sharpened the flint arrow heads and ,* ^ shaped new bows, that their lords >' - r, might do battle to the deatb with "" other redmen. »\*i And here at Battle Creek, way up *n Michigan, a great battle One day . ** <_ ' did occur, and when it was over, and •,*r ' the sun kissed the range to the far west, the tom toms were muffled and ; the squaw-women wrapped their heads , in vari-colored blanKets and Wept, for ; with the going down of the sun, many braves passed to the proverbial happy hunting grounds. But that was many, maby moons ago, as the Indians measure time, and a new era has long since dawned. True, it is "Battle Creek" to-day, just as it was decades ago, but, instead; of the cry of the savage, is heard the . hum of industry; the throb of life; .the greeting of men and women of . the Anglo Saxon race--the shouts of ' " happy boys and girls, who know of Battle Creek's former history only by tradition. And here on the site , of the famous battle between the red- men stands, now one of the fairest cities of the great Northwest; a city sought out among thousands, for in it dwell, month after month, as the years come and go, men and women who find within the charmed circle that which they have long sought else­ where--health. When one speaks of health, the mind naturally wings itself to Battle Creek, for up there health is to be found as at few other places on earth. Forty years ago there began in Bat­ tle Creek a return to nature move­ ment, with purposes and prlcinples in many respects similar to those which led to the famous "Brook Farm Exper­ iment" twenty years before and to the Graharaite movement of that period. This movement, while religious, was avowedly non-sectarian, and was in a broad sense philanthropic, altruistic and reformatory. The immediate re­ sults were the establishment of a monthly journal now known as Good Health and shortly afterwards the ' erection of a health institution called "The Health Reform Institute."- The chief features of the institute at this early period were diet reform, dress reform and the use of water as a cura­ tive agent. In 1876 the present management took charge of the institution and with the consent and co-operation of the Board of Directors (the institution having been incorporated ten years before) , a thorough reorganization was effected. Broader plans were intror duced, the methods of treatment were placed upon a substantial and thor­ oughly scientific foundation, and the name was changed to the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Since this time the growth of the institution has been con­ stant and< rapid. From year to year accommoda­ tions for patients and facilities for treatments were enlarged to meet the increasing patronage until Feb­ ruary, 1902, when a great fire swept away the two principal build­ ings of the establishment. The erec­ tion of a new building was speedily begun, and the following year, May 31, 1903, the present fireproof main build­ ing, erected at a cost of more than $600,000, was dedicated. The cost of the entire establishment, including equipment, twenty dormitories, cot­ tages and other buildings has amount­ ed to more than $1,200,000. The Battle Creek Sanitarium as it 6tands to-day is recognized the world over as the most complete and thor­ oughly equipped establishment of its sort and the headquarters for physio­ logic therapeutics or natural methods. Connected with the Sanitarium is a Training School for Nurses, in which from two to three hundred nurses ire constantly under training. These principles and methods have penetrated to the remotest parts of the civilized world, and scores of men and women who have been trained in these methods are devoting their lives to medical missionary work in heathen lands. The Battle Creek Sanitarium may be regarded as an epitome of the "return- to-nature" idea in practical operation. Its success in the restoration of sick people to health brings to it annually many thousands of men and women, many of whom have been pronounced incurable, but who, nevertheless, with rare exceptions, return a few months, later to their homes prepared to enter again upon the battle of life. There are many sanitariums in the **orld, but few, if any, that are con­ ducted on tbe same plane as that at Battle Creek. This haven of rest and health Is in no sense a money-mak­ ing scheme, and every cent that is tnade from patients who are able to pay for their accommodations is used to help those who have nothing but broken health. All over this country, and even beyond the seas, branch in­ stitutions are springing up--creepers -from the mother plant at Battle Creek. One point in view is down on State street, in the center cf the me­ tropolis of the Middle West, Chicago, where hundreds of the city's poor are cared for as tenderly as if in the par­ ent institution at Battle Creek. In a few brief paragraphs one can tell but little of the good work of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, but a postal card will bring pamphlets that will tell all--all' except the knowledge ob­ tained by actual experience, and that ' experience must br had at Battle Creek to tie appreciated $9 its fall worth. This institution at Battle Creek was not built up in a day--it took years of toil to reach the perfected state, and the work has but begun--the great 8HOT FROM AN AUTO.

Stor more than three decades the present institution has been the center of a wonderful educa­ tional, philanthropic and reform movement which has finally culmin­ ated in success undreamed of a few years ago, and in this connection a brief history is most opportune. la February, 1902, the two main buildings of the Sanitarium were destroyed by fire. For a short time the days were dark for those who had worked so hard to build it up. But strong hearts are not to be awed by misfortune, and a new building sprung from the ashes upon the old site. The dedication took place May SI, and June 1, 1903. An elaborate pro­ gram was carried Out and many men of national reputation made speeches and highly complimented the managers and their co-workers on their good work. Invitations were sent to all patients, rich and poor, who had ever been at the Sanitarium. Many re­ sponded in person, and hundreds sent letters of regret. One of the prettiest sights in con­ nection with the whole event was the procession of nurses and matrons which formed on the college grounds, opposite the new Sanitarium building, and marched through the audience to reserved seats at the right and left of the speakers' stand. The matrons in their usual cream white uniform, the nurses in blue and white, and the gentlemen nurses clad in new white- duck suits presented a sight which moved the audience to one simultan­ eous burst of applause. Sanitary Ideas. As before stated there are many sanitariums in the world, but none just like that at Battle Creek, it being the first of toe kind, so far as known, where an attempt has been made, and crowned with success, to bring to­ gether in one place and under one management all rational healing agencies, giving special prominence to those physiological or natural heal­ ing agents the scientific knowledge of which has been chiefly developed within the last century, especially hyprotherapy, electrotherapy, mas­ sage, exercise, diet, sunlight, mental and moral influences, rest, and gen­ eral health culture. Of course the first thing to be taken into consideration was the construc­ tion of the building to be occupied, for much depended upon that. But after it had been discussed pro and con a plan entirely satisfactory was adopted and the structure to-day plays no small part in the healing process that goes on from day to day at Battle Creek. A Return to Nature Movement. The philosophy of the Battle Creek Sanitarium may be defined as the re­ turn-to-nature idea. The doctors teach the use of natural foods, natural life, the use of natural agents in the treat­ ment of disease. A great amount of attention is given to dietetics. Fruits, nuts and nut preparations, cereal foods and easily digestible vegetables are the basis for the delicious menus which are daily served in the great Sanitarium dining room, at which sit down hundreds of intelligent men and women from all parts of the United States and even from foreign coun­ tries. Milk, eggs and other dairy prod­ ucts are also freely used. Great care is taken to provide the very best and choicest of everything edible, cf which the physicians approve. During the year which has just closed a vast amount of these things were required to provide for the army.* of patients who visited the sanitariuni. for several thousand sufferers housed there during the twelve months of 1904. As to the expense for the past year it was considerable, amounting to a total of $327,189.99, divided as fol­ lows: Nut foods, 50 tons, $26,768.80; cereal foods, 101,994, pounds, $9,521.19; bread, 65,026 pounds, $2,657.43; canned goods, 3,699 cases, $10,506.65; fruit juices, etc., made on the place, 11,430 gallons, $2,030.90; fresh fruit, 5,783 bushels, $10,203.46; vegetables, 5,137 bushels, $3,695.20; sundry grocery items, 41,558 pounds, $3,396.38; eggs, 25,301 dozen, $6,789.65; butter, made on the*place, 29,961 pounds, $5,951.59; cream, 68.678 quarts, $10,323.70; milk, 57,366 quarts, $1,692.45; coal, 5,714 tons, $20,000.06; labor, $213,553.59; total, $327,189.99. The amount of fc^arity dispensed during the past ten years at this sanitarium amounted to $585,610. To care for tie patients an average of ?25 men and women were employed during each year, and an average of 550 patients are under treatment at this sanitarium every day in the year. We have given our readers only a brief glanec at the workings Of this unique establishment. Another article wotild be required to give something of the details of the daily routine of a jniest at the Sanitarium, and of the methods which have given to this in­ stitution its world-wide reputation as a Mecca for sick folks.' .

' Sir Robert Ball, the noted British astronomer, went to a remote town in Ireland to lecture on his favorite topic. Arriving at the station he look­ ed for the expected conveyance, but found none. After all the other pas­ sengers had disappeared, a man step- up and said: "Maybe you're Sir Rob­ ert Ball?" On receiving an affirmative reply the man hastily apologized, say­ ing: "Sure, your honor, I'm sorry I kept you waiting, but I was tould to look for an intellectual gintleman." Sir Robert thought that under the cir­ cumstances it would be better not to inquire what was the man's idea of intellectuality. Every housekeeper should know that If they will buy Defiance Jold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.--one full pound--while all other Coldi Water Starches are put up In %-pound pack­ ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem­ icals. If your grocer tries to »ell you a 12-oz. package k is because he ha* a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let­ ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand De­ fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick­ ing.

This is because the>t have a stock on hand of other brands containing: only 12 oz In a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 ox. for the same money.

Forbes, in a recent ad> dress, said: In 1889 I showed by experiment with curculios taken April 14 on their first emergence from their winter quarters that they fed at that early season sometimes en dead fallen leaves, on green leaves and fresh blossoms of the peach, and on the blossoms of roses, honeysuckle and snowball. They evidently ate dead leaves only when living vegetation could not be found, as when confined with both they chose only the latter. Poison experiments were made on these beetles in confine­ ment by spraying both leaves and fruit with Paris green, with the result that a single treatment of their food killed, within eight days, all but one beetle of eight lots of specimens pois­ oned. In 3892 Professor John B. Smith published in the Bulletin of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta­ tion the statement that the curculio could be controlled only by poisoning the adult beetle, spraying first before the trees come into bloom, and at least three times atterward, as for the codling moth. In 1901, my attention having been particularly called to the Importance of preventing small surface injuries to the apple, which lowered its market grade and diminisued its price, I sent an assistant, Mr. E. S. O. Titus, through southern Illinois In June and July to observe and collect examples of these injuries, and such insects as might be held responsible for- them. Quantities of blemished fruit were sent to th# office for careful study, and as a means of rearing any insects which it might contain. From this investigation it appeared that much the greater part of the in­ jury complained of was due to the plum-curculio, and that the control of this Insect would virtually protect the apple. Pursuing the subject further, in 1902 an article prepared by Mr. Titus was read by me at your meeting for that year on "Insects, Other Than the Codling Moth, Injurious to the Fruit of tLe Apple." The greater part of this paper was given to the work of the plum-curculio in the apple or­ chard. In addition to many close and careful observations, an Important point was maae in this paper that in­ jury to the fruit was least in well- cultivated orchards, and the suggest tion was made that orchard cultivation ai a time when the bulk of the cur­ culios are in the ground passing through their transformations might have the effect to diminish their num­ ber by killing them in the pupa state. For this purpose, it was said, a mid­ summer plowing would be necessary, following by harrowing to break up the clods and expose the pupae more thoroughly to the weather. The prompt destruction of the fallen fruit and spraying of the trees with Paris green were also prominently mentioned. Re-Topping Sweet Apple Trees. A correspondent recently sent to the Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta­ tion the following questions which "were answered by Professor W. M. Munson as below: - "Can sweet apple trees be success­ fully grafted? Will it pay to re-top a large sweet apple tree, a foot or more in diameter? Should an orchard of 100 trees be all of one variety?" It is very doubtful if the flavor pf the fruit has any relation to the value of a given tree for purposes of graft­ ing. Tolman Sweet is often used as a basis for top-working. Apple trees up to a foot in diameter may be top-worKed if unsatisfactory. Care, however, should be used that too ciuch of the top is not removed in any one year. Cut off about onMhird of the top the first year and insert scions on stubs not more than two or three inches in diameter. The next year remove more of the top and in­ sert other cions, and the following year complete the work. It is not advisable to plant a solid Jblock of 100 trees of one variety un­ less there are other trees in the im­ mediate vicinity. Some varieties are self-fertile, and will give satisfactory results If planted alone; but it is al­ ways Bafer to provide for cross fertili­ zation. In large orchards every third or fourth row should be of a different variety. Two or three varieties are enough for a commercial orchard, how­ ever, and it Is seldom Advisable to plant more. Modern Methods In the Orchard. Modern methods are entirely adapt­ ed to the farm orchard, and if applied will insure good crops and annual ones, if the process is begun while the trees are young. There are those that declare that these advanced methods are useful in the great commercial or­ chards of the country, but are not use­ ful in the family orchard or in the commercial orchard of the small farm­ er. It Is true that It Is more difficult to do things in a small way than in a large way, and that the per tree cost of cultivating, spraying and pruning is greater. But even then a large mar­ gin of profit is left. The man with a family orchard has the advantage over the big orchardist in that he gets a better rate for his fruit, as he sells it to himself and does not have to re­ duce the price to offset railroad charges and commissions for handling and profits in selling. A small spray­ ing outfit can be purchased at a low cost, and its use may make a differ­ ence sometimes of $25 to $50 on an acre of apple trees. Cultivation and pruning cost not much* more propor­ tionately in the small orchard than In the large one. The growing of a cov­ er crop each fall will protect the roots of the trees in the family orchard as well as in the large commercial or­ chards r. 0^* The long evenings in winter time for planning the farm work of the year. There is much pleasure in sitting down and fixing the plans for farm work so carefully that everything will move along easily when spring & Pennsylvania Sportsmen Kill B£ir and Make Innovation. This season has witnessed a de­ cided innovation, in bear hunting in northern Pennsylvania. Two Will- iamsport hunters have set a new pace in the line of novelty hy shoot­ ing a bear from an automobile. They are John B, Condon, a hotelkeeper, and Charles M. Gibson, a sportsman of reputation. Mr. Gibson fired the shot which ended the bear's life, and he is probably the only person who has ever shot a bear while riding in an auto. Mr. Gibson says: "It is not a bear story, but an ac­ tual fact. Mr. Condon and I started out in my large touring car for El- imsport, where we were to hunt wild turkeys for an afternoon. We took shotguns, but Mr. Condon insisted upon including a sort of musket--a very old-fashioned gun. "We were ascending a hill near El- lmsport, when I saw a bear shamble down the incline and stand on his rear legs on a bank beside the road. He was not fifty feet from us. "I must admit that we both fell to Shivering. Instinctively, I applied the brake and turned off the current. Then I reached back and felt around for that musket. Mr. Condon whis­ pered, "I<et me shoot him,' but I had my hand on the gun, and was deter­ mined .to try it.- "Although my whole body quaked, I managed to take aim and pull the trigger. "After about five minutes we went over and found him stone dead, with a big hole clean through his neck. We forgot all about turkeys, and, load­ ing the carcass into the auto, came back home. The bear dressed 280 pounds, and had the most beautiful skin I had ever seen. Mr. Condon took the meat and I the hide." Secretary Wilson's Campaign Story. Secretary Wilson of the Agricul­ tural department tells a story of the late campaign in which he fished for a compliment and failed. He had made the best speech he could and thought that he had made an Impres­ sion, but the chairman of the meet­ ing did not seem to enthuse very mu€h. As they were passing out of the hall the secretary remarked: "Well, I hope I haven't done you any harm up here." "I hope not," dolefully apswered the chairman.
