Before Blowitz. the office Of Times

weedbIne and Dunlap Liable IL
Fi0ht Any Minute

There is an imminent possibi-
llty OF bust up in the relations
between the citizens OF Dunlap
and Woodbine and all because of
a foot ball game that didn't take
place.
The rivalry that has existed be-
tween the two teams for the past
several seasons finally eliminated
a few days ago in the matching of
a game by the managers of the
two teams. The date set for the
game was yesterday, the contest
to occur in Woodbine. Yesterday
afternoon telephone message
was sent from Woodbine notify
ing the Dunlap team not to come
as the game had been cancelled.
Regardless of this the Dunlap
team accompanied by bunch of
rooters ISL strong headed by a
brass band, arrived in the Normal
town yesterday afternoon and pro-
ceeded to parade the streets, in
forming the Woodbiners at very
frequent intervals they were
"quitters." The Dunlap sggre-
CATION went back home on the
evening train without playing the
game and now the papers pub
lished in the two towns will pro.
seed to play the game.

Upon asking DR. Warren what
all that racket was about up at his
house last night, he replied that
his wife gave a small hen party
last evening to afford, as he says
a few ladies the privilege of
meeting friends of former years.
The color scheme, the DR. says,
was green consisting of parsley,
olives and stems and the demeanor
of the host Sin the midst" of such
body of loneliness surrounded
by his lonesomeness. The even
ing was spent he says, in gossip
ing about those who we're not
there and all left at an early hour
telling the hostess they we're glad
it was over or something like
that; perhaps that wasn't quite it.
Further the affiant saith not.

The Telephone as a Surgical
Instrument,

According to q London medical
journal, several London hospital
surgeons are now using the tele-
phone, whenever they have occas.
ion to probe for bullets, or other
metallic objects embedded in the
body of person. The receiver
OF the telephone is placed OH the
head of the operator, and the patti
ent is placed in the usual manner,
in contact with plate; the gener-
al medium employed being wet
sponge or soma paper satuated
with a saline solution which is
spread over the plate The latt r
connected with telephone by
wire, and the probe after it has
been introduced into the body
vlbrates as soon as the foreign
metallic substance comes in con-
tact with it. The probe is also
connected with the telephone by
a wire, and thus no such blunder
is possible as sometimes happens
when an ordinary battery is used.
When the telephone is used in
this way, the plate acts as one
pole and the probe as the other.
Needles, bullets, grains of shot,
and pieces of steel and copper
have been easily located by the
use of this simple method. The
only intances when the telephone
does not work satisfactorily are
when the objects to be located are
of the same metal as the probe.
French and German surgeons
have been following these expert
ments in London, with the inten
ton of introducing the same
method into the hospitals of Bsr-
lin and Paris. Scientific Amsri-
can.

Carelessness is responsible for many
railroad wreck and the same causes
are making human wrecks of sufferers
from throat and lung troubles. But

seventy five per cent of the people in
the United States are afflicted with
these two diseases and their effects
such as sour stomach, sick headache
habitupl costiveness, palpitation of the
heart, heartburn, water brash, gnawing
and burning pains at the pit of the
stomach, yellow skin, coated tongue
and disagreeable taste in the mouth
coming up of food after eating, low
spirits, etc. Go to your druggist al d
get a bottle of August Flower for 75c
Two doses will relieve you. Try it.

THE PLAN IS A SIMPLE ONE.
How the kercsene-seaked Brick
Should be Used

There Is no patent on The meth
cd OF using oil-soaked bricks, and
one can get the required fuel for
a few cents. Any soft, porous
brick will do, but the best for the
purpose is terracotta hollow brick
OF tho kind that has been used for
years to line ceilings and for par
titions. Glazed or painted brick
will not serve the purpose at all,
for to be of use in burning oil The
brick must be porous enough to
permit tue oil to soak into it
readily. The brick must be of a
size to GO into the tirebox of the
stove and rest on the CRATE.
Such brick is placed in a
shallow dish half full of ordinary
kerosene oil and allowed to soak
about half minute. When one
side OF the brisk is soaked in that
way, the brick is turned over, to
allow the other side to soak. If il
is hollow brick it can be- handled
with tongs or stove poker with
out soiling the fingers. AS soon
as the BRICK is soaked it is placed
in the stove and lighted with a
match. The brick will throw out
a flame for nearly an hour, emit
ting enough heat to boil water
and cook a dinner for a small
family. The oil consumed at one
burning costs about a cent wi en-
oil is selling retail at IL cents a
gallon.
To heat room in which there
is an open grate some oil.s,aked
bricks can be placed in the CRATE
and lighted. There is no danger
OF explosions when the oil is
burned in that way. The burn
ing oil throws off no offensive
smoke or odor. The flame of an
oil-soaked brick can be extin-
guished by dropping the brick
into pail Of water. After being
in the water the brick can. be
soaked in Oil and lighted again.
With a relay of bricks and a
kerosene bath, kitchen stove
could be kept going all day with.
out much trouble and at small
cost. Probably a small family
could do all the necessary cooking
and heat the living room &C M
fortably for whole day by using
oil-soaked bricks in the stove fol
less money than it would take to
buy one pail of coal, that would
last only an hour or two.
A precaution that would sug-
gest itself to any sensible person
is to set fire to the brick immed-
lately after it has been soaked
and placed in stove or in CRATE.
10 permit an Oil soaked brick to
remain a long time in stove
without burning would allow the
escape of fumes, which, collected
in a firebox, might explode when
match was applied. For the
same reason, kerosene oil should
not be kept standing long in an
open dish in close room. New
York Tribune.

Dyspepsia Cure
Digests what you eat.

Many persons worry because they
are too fat, and many more worry be-
cause they are too thin. In both cases
the food eaten is not properly digested.
Fat persons digest fat producing
foods and do not digest foods that give
muscular and nervous strength. They
are not as strong as they look, and de-
serve more sympathy than they get.
Thin persons cannot digest fat pro-
ducing foods. Sometimes they digest
nerve and muscle foods and become
nervous and wiry; but usually they do
not properly digest anything.
Nature has made provision for ~
digestion of all classes of foods; a!
when our digestion becomes impaired,
it is wisdom to take steps at once to
remedy it. Many thousands are using
with marked success the preparation
known as KoDoL DYSPEPSIA CURE.

The unfortunate who is held and for

milk or sugar. bread and some dashed
meat forms all of the bill of fare and this
is only given twice a day while he re-

the prisoner has money with which to

No Consideration Shown.
The man under arrest who does not
assert himself gets no consideration from
the policeman on duty, but the man who
talks too much and makes himself nui-

as possible for him. II he hits the hap
BY medium he is all right and his life Will
be a little easier at any rate.
Thus it can be seen that there is much
in the life of Washington that is known
to but few of the residents. and at the
same time it can also be seen that the
chances OF anybody being arrested are not
as remote as one would imagine.
