The Dubuque Times
FOR 1878.
DAILY AND WEEKLY


Twenty-Five years ago. the Dubuque Times be-
gan as an experiment: But short me elapsed
before it had passed that STAGE and became one
OF the early few of Iowa daily and weekly journ-
ais. Thenceforward it held 1t steady way until it
reached It's present proportions and standing. Du-
ring the last four years of business depression, in
which nearly all newspaper enterprises were
among the greatest sufferers, the Times kept ON
ments than during any similar period IN its histo-
ry This was due to its industry as news gather
or, and to it's independence and courage upon
public questions.
Iowa and the entire Northwest have struggled
Tor years against the discouraging tides Of the
tlme: business stagnation, inferior crops, cOrrOd
ing private debts, and marked diminution in the
ratio OF its immigration. The signs of the times
indicate that all this is changed, and to be supple
mented with good times A bountiful crop, d.
mlnlshed debts, improved BUSINESS and new
nope succeed the hard times. The Times con-
GRADUATES Its patrons upon the Frightening pros
pects and ventures the prediction that an era of
genuine prosperity is near at hand
Nd Inc Times is the only Republican daily in
local field is the largest of any other journal in the
state While it has vigorously defended the
principles OF the Republican party, it has asserted
unduestioned errors, has advocated genuine re-
form In its own ranks, and has been swift to I'M
sparingly condemn wrong doors and corrupt men
"hether OF It's own party or otherwise.
TELEGRAPHIc NEWS
The cream of all the current news of the conn.
Try Is daily published in its columns. Liberal re-
ports or the proceedings of Congress, the State
Legislature, of conventions and public gatherings
of every character are promptly printed No
Journal outside the metropolitan cities publishes
more extended
COMMERCIAL AND MARKET REPORTS
than does the Dubuque Times These reports are
obtained daily by telegraph from all great bust
ness and commercial centers and the local mar
kets are reportedwith great care. 1t is conceded
that the market reports of the Times are the most
extended and reliable to be found in any Iowa
paper.

A CHAT WITH THE HOUsEKEEPER.-
One of the great causes for dyspepsia at
the present day consists in the hobbies
which so many people ride in regard to
food. One person gets the impression
that one article of diet is the cure-all,
and another that something else will
prevent all the evils that flesh is heir
to, and they make hobby of this one
thing, and not only ride themselves to
death on it, but insist that all the per-
sons whom they know, or over whom
they have any influence, shall ride it,
too. Oatmeal is good in it's way, and
grits, and graham bread, and many other
things, but they will create dyspepsia if
they are not properly cooked, or used
too continually, and to the exclusion of
other varieties of food. Dyspepsia is
more often cured by absolute meat and
fruit diet than by vegetarian diet, and
the reason why good effects often follow
the first trials of vegetarianism is be-
cause the subjects have been in the
habit of eating heartily of meat, and
the change benefits them. On the same
principle, it is beneficial for those who
have been in the habit Of making their
breakfast of oatmeal, hominy and the
like, to occasionally take a new depart
ure, and make a breakfast of meat or
fish, and fruit

SwELLED LEG IN A HORSE When a
cut or bruise in horses leg is healed
too quickly, and before the infamma-
ton has disappeared from the wounded
parts, the limb will often swell and be-
come hard This may be caused by abb
sorption of the supperated matter,
which ought to have been discharged
ION the wound The remedy is to give
purgatives-the best, probably, being
one-ounce doses of hyposulphite of So
da, with alternate doses of half an ounce
of nitrate of potash. Cold astringent
lotions and bondage on the limb may be
needed. If the horse is valuable, it
would have been wise, in the first place,
to have employed veterinary surgeon.
Hot tar should not have been used on
it.
