Pasture Rnrned.

New Sharon Star: Charles Miller
lost 200 acres of fine blue grass and
timothy, just north of the Cobb bridge
and east of the railroad, burned Sun
day afternoon by spark from an
engine. He had been saving 1t for
winter pasture. A high hot wind was
blowing and it made great fire.
Mrs. Maggie Heitsman also had quite
a number of acres to the north of
that, burned the same time.

PicnicE

These are popular nights for pic

shadows of the woods and the river
breezes. Almost every available rig
in the city is engaged days ahead
for picnic use and hundreds of peo-
pie are planning trip or excursion.
There were about two hundred peo-
pie at Riverside Park Wednesday
evening and fully as many Thursday
evening.

STILL MISSING.
Miss Neal, the COIOred Girl, Has Not
Been Heard From

Montezuma Republican: THE rel
atives and friends of Miss Josephine
Neal (colored) are greatly agitated
over her mysterious disappearance
from the place where she was work
ing in Oskaloosa. She has been alb
sent for about two months and all
trace of her is lost. She was work
ing at the home of barber named
Cratic. She had been about her
work as usual and on the evening of
her sudden and mysterious departure
she put skirt on over the wrapper
she had been wearing, put her, hat
on, said good bye to the lady of the
house and stepped out into the dark
ness. She left all her clothing be-
hind her and never drew the money
due her for work. From that day to
this all efforts to locate her have
failed and it is generally believed
that she has committed suicide by
throwing herself into one of the
abandoned coal shafts in that vicin-
ity. 1t is stated that she attempted
to commit suicide once while she was
working for DR.. Hoffman by taking
poison, but she took an overdose and
it failed of it's purpose. Miss Neal
had many friends here among all
classes. She graduated few years
ago from our high school and after
wards worked in some of the best
homes in the city. A brother and
two sisters are still here and they
are at a loss to know what course to
pursue in an effort to locate the
missing girl"

BOARD OF HEALTH
is UNREASONABLE?
Theodore Richards Says Re-
lief Camp Should Be
Kept Open.

Editor Advertiser: Your notice con-
corning the closing of Relief Camp '2''
i'm Saturday 'rnefsaingsss-efssue suggests
some explanation The owner of the
premises ON Vineyard street not the I'M
dersigned) desires to continue the home
for the seven hundred or more people
there. A letter was written to the Board
of Health requesting to know what the
requirements might be in the way of
sanitary improvements. There has been
no official answer to that letter as yet,
but we are informed by the Boards rep
resentatives that the place must close.
Following is the rather comical posi-
ton of the Board: Although the owners
have offered to meet every requirement
build the sewer, put in all necessary
plumbing, dig anything reasonable, ETC.,
the Board only replies, I'VE can not give
you the right to qualify; 1--WE simply de-
clare the place closed
But what of the places in worse con-
dition?'
I'VE will take care of them in time -
Where are these seven hundred peo-
pie going?"
THAT is not our affair; of they go to
worse conditions, we will follow them
and root them out"
How is the city to grow"
1T mustn't grow until we get ready
to handle it. We are short of excavGtor
carts, but the main trouble is that the
excavator service is too COSTLY
Ay-ah Here's a dilemma. Rather
hard for the Board of Health, it must
be admitted, but still harder for some
OF the poorer classes of the City. 1t is
as though mother were to say to a
child, your pants are outgrown; efface
yourself from the earth till I get time
to make you a pair"
The present owners of the land and
buildings formerly occupied by Camp ''2''
will hold them (empty) till-(the Board
says six months)-the sewers amble our
way. In the meantime it is presumed
that our neighbors have their own pri-
vate sewers to the sea-

MARTYR TO. SCIENCE.
NURSE DIES FROM EFFECTS OF
YELLOW FEVER TESTS.
Miss Clara A. Mas Was Inoculated
with the Dread Disease by the Bite
of a quito-Experiments Cause
Several Deaths.

The death In Havana of Miss Clara
A. Mas, trained nurse from Newark,
N. j., who was following her profess
sion at Las Animas Hospital, was the
third resulting from the experiments
being made with mosquitoes by the
Yellow Fever Commission. The sacri-
fee of this young life In the cause of
science--Miss Mas was 25 years old
directs attention to the work which
has been done In Cuba toward the
stamping our Of the disease that for
merly claimed so many lives. In this
investigation In the cause of science
the heroism of American men and
women has been conspicuously dis
played. The actual and conclusive DEM
onstration by the army Yellow Fever
Commission, of which DIR. Walter Reed
is president, that mosquitoes are re-
sponsible for the spread of yellow
fever, will rank forever as one of the
most beneficial discoveries in medical
science.
The cause of yellow fever has always
been mystery; and, indeed, 1t Is
mystery to-day, In measure, since,
although undoubtedly disease Of par
asitic origin, the parasitic organism it.
self has not yet been discovered. Sew
eral times 1t has been thought that 1t
was found, and there are those investi-
gators who to-day believe that the
Bacillus icteroides of Sanarelli is the
causatlve organism of the fever; while
the English physician, DIR. Herbert e.
Durham, who, with the late DIR. Walter
Myers, was sent out by the Liverpool

Housewife Suggestions.

Copper nails with huge heads are the
latest for holding down floor coverings.
They are especially effective on green
or blue terry.
SDS.slsss knobs are considered much
smea e. on colonial furniture just at
present than even the perfectly plain
brass trimmings.
Woodwork and floors painted green
in combination with delicately flower
ed walls and blg-blossomed chintz or
cretonne upholstery and curtains are
the favored bedroom decorative
scheme of the hour.
pieces of unslacked lime in earthen
bowls placed in different rooms will, 1t
is said, improve the atmosphere on q
humid day. The lime will absorb the
water from the air.
Milk, cream, machine oil and meat
Juice should be washed out In cold
water Immediately; soap may be used
on the meat juice. Tea and coffee
stains should be treated just as fruit
stains. Soak medicine stain In alcohol
and it will respond.
To clean mating, sweep it twice
first with a stiff broom. working along
the grain of the straw, then crosswise
with soft broom dipped In warm
wafer, rinsing with clean water. This
brigntens all sorts of colored mating,
and also saves it, in a measure, from
fading.
Care should be exercised in the use
of soaps on delicate fabrics. Many care
full laundresses do not use soap ut ali,
but substitute wheat bran instead.
Two quarts of bran boiled In soft
water and the liquor strained off after
it is cool is just right. This will not
affect the color, requires very little
r,nsing and little starch, unless the
article is desired very stiff.
