A Little Reminder.

Stdte Register.
In the First, Second and Third Con-
gressionsl Districts the Democratic
and Greenback vote exceeds that of
the Republican party. The few Re-
publican papers in those Districts
that have been inclined to twitch
their thumbs at this and the Sixth
District can now see that ii the two
opposition parties had combined
there as here, they would now know
how it goes to be underneath them
selves. But the most Of the Repu bli-
can journals in the Districts in ques-
ton, be 1t said to their credit, do not
indulge in this cheap man sort OF self
qualification. On the other hand they
recognize that never were there bet
ter fights made in the State than those
that were made in the Sixth and Sew
enth Districts this year, and that fail
ure came to the Republican side only
after duty and even gsllantry had
done all that they could. We in the
walloped Districts can and do recog-
nize and appreciate the victories won
in the successful Districts, and are as
proud of the results there as the Re-
Va tnOs0 lOChllLlcb InGL0.
selves. And while we were defeated
by meeting the combined forces of
the opposing factions, and they sue
cessful by meeting the divided forces
of the enemy, we have no wish to de-
tract word from the record that is
due them, nor even to excuse our
selves. We were beaten on the open
field aud in a square fight, for honest
money,-and that defeat all Republi-
cans here and in the Sixth counted as
being more honorable than success
itself would have been il won by pam
dering in the least to the dishonest
wing Of either of the other parties.
1t is but q tempory defeat, and in the
next combat the lost cOlors both here
and in the Sixth District will be re-
captured and the glory aud strength
Of the party fully redeemed. This
we shall do, against the doubled for
ces of the opposition, and despite the
cold water we shall probably receive
from certain representatives of the
little of half-hearted Republicanism
that there is in Iowa. gel

The Sanitary Eject Of House
work Upon Women.

AOuthAys
Many OF the ills and diseases prev
alent among women in our day are,
NO doubt, traceable to the sedentary
mode Of life so common among them.
The progress of modern industrial
art has done away with much Of the
household drudgery to which women
were formerly subjected, and the re-
suit is In many cases want Of suffi-
cient occupation for needed bodily
exercise. The fruits OF this state Of
things are strikingly exhibited in
certain observations made by the late
Mr.. Robertson, . Manchester surgeon,
who in his practice a. specialist for
women's diseases. found that in wo-
mon who themselves performed all
their household work, there is no
trace of certain complaints; that
these complaints begin to make their
in women with one SER
vant become more pronounced in
women who have two servants, or
worse still with those who have three
and 90 on. He showed sta
that the deaths from child
,irth were four times greater in the
$50 of women with four servants
han those with none.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS. = The

consequence. So far as' this work

of road in Iowa than any other corpo.
ration, the c. B. & @. being the next

Night Cans

Mrs. Nellie M. Rich, in the Vinton
Eagle discourses very sensibly about
night caps, thus:
at is high time that this discarded
habiliment of our grandmothers
should be donned by the present gem
GRAFTON. Why man or woman ever
abandoned it passes comprehension.
1 am well aware of the derision this
statement will awaken; girls will
laugh at it, and older ones will won
der what next, and declare that they
wouldn't wear such an article under
any consideration. Perhaps, howev-
er, they would. If they have ever
suffered with catarrh in the head and
had endured headache that tried the
stoutest nerves, perhaps they would
be willing to try SO simple remedy
as a night cap. Three years ago, when
we were suffering greatly from neu-
ralgia and catarrh combined friend
said: Tie piece of FLANNEL over your
head and ears every night and you
will obtain relief We tried the rem
edy, and with very happy results,
else we fear we would not be writing
this. Not only was the neuralgia
driven away, but the hair has grown
much more healthy, and has ceased to
turn grey. This relief from acute
pain has given the system chance to
recuporate, and the result is, inn
provement in health. Our theory
with reference to night-caps, whether
wooden or heavy silk, is this: They
keep the ears and head warm, thus
inducing pcrspiration, which can con-
tinue without check during the night.
This gentle Precipitation, perhaps not
sufficient to be noticed, relieves all
the surface of the head, from inflam-
nation, and leaves the skin in q nor
NAL condition. This is just what ia
needed. Warmth and moisture of
the skin will relieve almost any in
flammation which has been caused by
taking cold. More than this, if the
skin of the entire body can only be
kept warm and moist 1t will be very
difficult for any inflammstory form
of disease to gain footing. How Of
ten do we hear of some acquaintance
who suffers from impaired hearing
or sight, or is prematurely grey as q
direct consequence Of catarrh or neu-
ralgia. Many have lost the sense of
smell entirely, and many suffer ex-
ceedingly from impaired memory and
inability to pursne any line of thought
consecutiyely. To such, and all such,
we say emphaticaliy, wear night caps.
They may not possess many charac-
teristics of beauty by which they can
be recommended, but they are won
derful protection to the most beauti-
full and useful part Of the body-the
head; and in this fast age it be hooves
all wide-wake or sound asleep
mortals to look out for their heads.n
