The 6lcries of Iowa.

AT the banquet and reception
rendered Senator COPYRIGHT, Rep
resentative Wise and Presid ut
Seerley, Of the State Normal at
Cedar Falls, O. j. Laylander re-
sponled to the toast, "The Future
of Iowa" His address will be
good to read, as it was good to lis
ten to. He said:
"The future of Iowa! How can
/ in the few moments allotted do
justice to this subject? It were
worse than sacrilege to speak of
fair Iowa in empty platitudes of
praise. Onlya master hand should
select the colors and guide the
brush in a truthful picture of dear,
beautiful Iowa, the most dazzling
diamond in the sun-burst Of states.
"Iowa, the lusty child, held in
the weighty arms of the Missouri
and the Father of Waters, laugh
ing beneath the warm kisses and
the love-tears of spring; calling to-
day to you and me; See how /
grow! How strong l am! How
beautiful and healthy aud happy
ami
Iowa is glorious now. Its great
green carpets fresh from the spring
cleaning; its broad, black belts of
loan with open pockets awaiting
the hiding of the yellow grain; it's
living, moving, lowing mines Of
gold; It's thickly studded homes
bounding in the great bundles of
thesounding wire, papers yet damp
with city ink daily laid at the far
mers door; the city brought to the
farm and the farm to the city !;
while in letters of gold ON every
field and above every door that
opens upon hanest toll are the
words, Rich, rich, rich!'
"Such is Iowa today. And yet
this great state with it's wealth of
land and stock, and mines; with
one lesser industry the dairy
producing more wealth in single
| year than all the gold mines Of the
country; each year the unfailing
field filling the worlds bins to
bursting and growing meat for the
millions; yet this Iowa with all lite
boosted riches not many genera
tions ago was regarded question:
BILE territory by well-meaning men.
They lacked the power to read
manifest destiny. Gods plan was
to them a scaled book. Even 25
years ago no prophet was SO bold
as to paint in true colers the flu
ture of Iowa as we,see it today.
Material Iowa has with great leaps
gone to the front in the worlds
race"

Won't Follow Advice After
Paving for It

In recent article prominent ply
stefan says, "It is next to impossible
for the physician to get his patients to
carry out any prescribed course of
hygiene or diet to the smallest extent;
he has but one resort left, namely, the
drug treatment" When medicines
are used for chronic constipation, the
most mild and gentle obtainable, such
as Jhamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets, should be employed. Their
use is not followed by constipation as
they leave the bowels in natural and
healthy condition. For sale by Elliott

New Telephone SIGNALS

The new system of telephone
signals which does away with the
call for certain number of rings
by subscriber, was inaugurated
by local exchange yesterday. The
new plan, while apparently simple
causes considerable confusion at
first, especially among those pat
rons who have been upon the lines
for some time or among the for
getful ones who rush to the phone
and answer before thinking, when
their former number of rings is
sounded.
The change is this: Five new
letters N @ ] G and II have been
added to the call letters, and here
after no place will be designated
as certain number and certain
number of rings. Instead the
Subscriber will simply give the
central the letter found in front
of the number in the book and the
call will be made, not by the nu-
mber of rings but by short rings
and long rings, the person in
whose house the bell is located
getting acquainted with the sound
OF their ring much ne the tele-
graph operator becomes familiar
with his call.
The new letters found in the
book are interpreted by central
as follows:
Q-long ring, short ring; N
short ring, long ring;J-long ring,
short ring, long ring; G-two
rings; H-three rings.
Tho system, it is said, proves
more satisfactory than the old one
after the subscribers become ac-
quainted with their signals.-Fre-
mont Herald.

FAT NERVES.

A whirl Of excitement was
recently caused in the scien-
tihc world by the news that
the mystery of nerve action
has been solved.
1t is announced that healthy
nerves are fat nerves-and
that it is the fat in the core of
the nerve which is sensitive
and by hardening and soften
ing creates nerve action.
Maybe this explains why
SCOTS Emulsion has always
been such a remarkable remedy
for nervousness.
SCOTS Emulsion feeds thin
nerves with the best of all fats,
the pure cod-liver oil and
strengthens them with the best
OF nerve tonics, the hypophos-
phites.
For all forms of nervousness
and neuralgia take SCOTS
Emulsion.
