Charles Pinney recently came from East Sag

Second Advent Society here. About two weeks
ago his 9-year-old daughter was taken sick with
typhoid fever. but the father was an ardent be-
lever in the faith cure doctrine, and did not
call physician or notify the Board Of Health.
The neighbors brought the case to the atten-
tion of the board Saturday night.
A physician was ordered to visit the child,
but the father refused to allow him 70 pre-
scribe. saving that he was ready to leave the
whole matter in the hands Of the Lord. The
Massachusetts Society for Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children has been notified, and will
doubtless take prompt measure.

The State Of Iowa would never be so foolish as
TO put any one in Allison's place save Allison
himself If it did it would disgrace ITSELF At

A SOUTHERN IRON INDESTRY IN
WHICH MAINE MEN IRE
INTERESTED
From the Manufacturers Record.

a letter in the curl ent issue OF
the Manufacturers R.cord concerning
Blutiton, Ala, presents some very in
terestlng facts. In the first place it
gives an illustration of how the iron
development Of the South is bringing
wealth to owners Of mineral lands
lands which in many cases have been
looked upon as hardly worth the taxes.
and then tells the story OF why South
err iron makers can make iron at prices
which the Pennsylvania iron maker
cannot comprehend until he makes a
personal investigation. A high grade
ore, analyzing over fifty per cent.
metallic iron. used in making one Of
the best grades of iron produced in
this country, is mined, washed and de-
livered from the washers by contract at
thirty-five cents ton. A furnace
located within about one mile of Bluff
ton gets its ore delivered ia its stock
house at forty cents per ton. These
are not speculations. They are facts
and they tell the story of why the South
is going ahead SO rapidly in iron pro-
duction. With high grade ore deliver
ed to the furnace at less than fifty cents
a ton, and the best coke near at hand.
is there any possibility of such a place
as Button rot being able to produce
iron at figures which will yield profit
despite the dullest times?
