THE PRETTY LITTLE GIRL BABY of
Mrs. and Mrs. Thomas Patton, moved
into this country about three weeks ago,
and as T. 2. carried the first baby of his
own in his arms he held it in rather an
uncertain way, and was very fraid that
he would let il fall and break it. A la
dy showed him how, and he has now got
the right grip on it, and carries it as a
christian father should. The baby has
come to stay, and Mr. Patton says she
is welcome, and that he expects to KEEP
her until she is sixteen, and all he asks
is that she will help to make their home
| happy, and she has already put in some
"big strokes" of work in that line.
Mr.. DAVID BREADEN, a worthy and
respected citizen Of Big Mound, Iowa

to brighten her path Into the dark valley.

amendment to the Constitution, author
izing the President to veto any one OF
more items in an appropriation bill,

public policy. Such power vested in
the President would enable him to scale
down the useless appropriations made in

quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is subStantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
cssarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. 1t
often affects the sufererwith
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak

day after day, until he be-
