Extra as a Business Point.

Not long since we began a COM
parison OF the amount of business
transacted by various points for
territory and size of place and found
that Extra holds no mean place in
the ranks If she does not hold first
place which we believe it does. We
found by asking each individual
merchant to consult their books
and give us an estimate of the
amount OF business done in a wear
that $35O,000.00 is very conservative
estimate. In live stock we feel sure
we can es silly take first place with
about $250,00000 annually. Our
station usually holds first place in
amount of live stock shipped in a
year along all stations on the Rock
Island system with prices averaging
at the top.
As poultry market it easily puts
out the most of any in the county
and draws trade farther than any
town in the county for it. 1t easily
reaches $4,000 every fall.
In the way of social center it
easily holds a good place. Apublic
library maintained by the ladies
Thursday Club, a lecture course,
fostered by the Business Mems
League, and is the smallest town in
the state maintaining a successful
Y. M. Q. A. Nearly one hundred
businesses is represented and is
about the smallest town having a
wholesale manufacturing establish
ment in the Extra LIQUID Hog
Remedy. It easily holds first place
in celebrations and in entertain
ments for its patrons and believes
in giving them back their moneys
worth of good time.
At present however it has one
draw back. 1t has too MANY PEG
pie for it's houses. Every house is
full and many who try to rent find
they must be satisfied with rooms.
Her public school is her pride.
She requires teachers having high
er grades of certificates than any
school in the county and
consequently has good up.to-date
schools.
For beauty of scenery it is un-
surpassed. Her shaded dells, her
wooded parks combine to make it
one of the best and most attractive
towns in the state of Iowa.

Rnilroad Time Tables.

The genius to arrange railroad tine
card, or time table, so that it may be
readily, easily and accurately under
stood by the occasional traveller is not
yet born. Perhaps he will have to be
made. But no matter how much the
patrons of a road may be mystified
the management takes particular pains
to supply special card "for the gov
eminent and information of employees
only" This table is so simple that Il
child can understand it. The second
page usually contains table showing
the rate of speed required per mile for
a train to travel a given number of
miles in an hour 1t starts at fifteen
miles an hour. which is four minutes
to the mile, and goes as high as 100
miles an hour, or a mile in thirty-six
seconds and shows 200 subdivisions.
This card gives locations of regular
water stations. yard limits, situations
of standard clocks, maximum speed of
freight trains between different towns,
what days are holidays. speeds at
which trains may cross bridges at
various hours and list of all stations
and trains. 1t is likely, of course, that
were similar cards furnished to the
travelling public there would be no
abatement of fool questions Besides,
it is not to the interest of railroad
company to take the public too entire
~ into its confidence.-NewY York Press.

Checkinr n Hemorrhnre.

Even very slight hemorrhage is al
ways startling, but it does not neces-
.sarily mean anything dangerous. It
may be caused by slight disarrange-
ment Of the stomach as well as by
disease Of the lungs or heart. No one
but an experienced physician should
decide this question, however. Let the
patient lie quietly and give him cold
drinks until physician comes. A lit
tie sailed water is a simple, familiar
household remedy for such cases.
Quiet and rest are positively essential
If the cause is a serious one.

The period Of deepest sleep varies
from 3 o'clock to 5. An hour or two

and their families. The experiment
was SO successful that the following
year after personally visiting and in
specting many OF the smaller New
England hospitals, he built at Proctor
at the expense Of the company, a
modern hospital fully equipped with
patients wards and operating and
accident rooms Its management has
been committed to a representative
board, but the company contributes
about nine-tenths of the hospitals in
come and 1t is practically a free hos
pital to it's employees and their fami-
lies. The company also paid the ex-
penses of a dele. alton OF its oldest
employees to visit the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo in 1901.
1t is Indicative of Mr.. Proctor'S
personal standing among his neigh.

ceived every vote out of a total OF SAG

In 1886 Mr.. Proctor was secretary Of
