double this amount of acreage will

As a recognition of the splendid
record made by Breeden-Runge
salesmen who sold 4,000 cases of
Staley's Syrup in the first .six
months of 1929. the August issue
of the Staley News, published by
the' company in Decatur, Illinois,
carries a four column picture of
the entire Breeden-Runge sales
force and a story concerning the
activities of the company.
The news story states in speak-
ing of Breeden-Runge Company
and the company's policy:
"This business was organized up-
on a very firm and sound policy,
the golden rule prevailing, that it

The accident occurred on toe
John Sager ranch near this city
shortly before 5 o’clock Thursday
afternoon. The boy was riding with
Sager in the pasture at the time.
Sager declared that he told the
boy to wait for him while he round-
ed up a cow in another part of toe
pasture, and that when he re-
turned. he found the riderless
horse. Filing to receive an answer
to his calls, he started a search,
and found the youth lying uncon-
scious, nearby.
Sager rushed the youth to a local
hospital where his injuries were
given medical attention. Sager’s
prompt action In bringing the boy
to Cuero for medical attention
probably prevented complications
which might have arisen as a re-
sult of blood poisoning.
The youth has been spending
the summer on the Sager ranch. Is
a good rider, and undoubtedly
would not have been thrown from
the horse under ordinary circum-
stances.
Attending physicians reported
him to be resting as well as could
be expected today.

Deaths From Poison
Liquor Increase
NEW YORK, Aug. 23 —Deaths
from alcoholism show an increase
for the first six months of 110#.
according to an analysis into toe
causes of death among the approx-
imately nineteen million Industrial
policy holders of the Metropolitan’
Life Insurance Company in the
United States and Canada
Three hundred and twenty-one
policyholders died from this cause
in that period, a monthly rate of
3.4 per 100,000. During the same
period last year there wore 284
deaths and a death rate of 3.1.

true for the first h?.lf of this year,
when there were only sir deaths
among the approximately one and
one-quarter millions of Canadian
policyhotyiers. Since January

half years, there occurred, 3,818
deaths from alcoholism among Me-

ers. Only 43 of these were deaths of
Canadians.
Cirrhosis of the liver, closely as-
sociated with alcoholism, was re-
sponsible for 615 deaths, with a
death rate of 6.6 per 100.000. Dur-
ing the same period in 1928 there
were 578 deaths from this cause,
with a death rate of 6.3. Deaths
from acute poisoning by wood or
