HEALTH'S DECALOGUE.

1. Rise early, retire early and fill
your day with work.
2. Water and bread maintain life;
pure air and sunshine are indispen-
sable 10 health.
3. Frugality and sobriety form the
best elixir of longevity.
1. Cleanliness prevents rust; the best
cared for machines last the longest.
8. Enough sleep repairs waste and
strengthens; too much sleep softens
and enfeebles.
g. To be sensibly dressed is to give
freedom to ones movements and
enough warmth to be protected from
sudden changes of temperature.
Z. A clean and cheerful house makes
a happy home.
8. The mind is refreshed and lnvig-
GRATED by distractions and amusement,
but abuse of them leads to dissipation
and dissipation to vice.
8. Cheerfulness makes love of life,
and love of life is half of health. On
the contrary, sadness and discourage
ment hasten old age.
10. Do you gain your living by your
intellect? Then do not allow your arms
and legs to grow stiff. Do you earn
your bread by your pickax? Do not
forget to cultivate your mind and to
enlarge your thought.-French Medical
Review.

ENTERPRISE at Fertile.

Special to Times Republican,.
Fertile Feb. 2S.-A few years ago
the people of this town expected to see
a railroad go thru here, but owing to
the bull headedness of certain officials
Of the Northwestern the town was
passed by. Many thought then that
"Putsey," as it is often called. would
die. But enterprise, pluck and ability,
backed by wisdom will not be downed.
The town has grown, the business en-
terprises have prospered, and despite
all predictions to the contrary, and
the opposition of outsiders" there are
unmistakable signs that Fertile will yet
amount to something. The latest bus
mess venture is lumber and coal yard.
1t is to be cooperative concern. AL
ready the articles of incorporation and
bylaws have been adopted, the di-
rectors elected and the ground for yard
and buildings purchased. The news
has gone out and almost every day
representatives from the different
lumber companies are in town endeav-
oring to make sales Other enterprises
will be started later, and we hope to
see this beautiful village made the
center of business activity in this sec
ton before many years. Railroad or
no railroad Fertile is bound to grow
and to make herself known as bust

practice at Dakota City and has sew
eral law cases unfinished at that place
now.
Case and his wife came to Dakota
City from Tama county, Iowa, about
five months ago. He is bright, intel
ligent fellow and succeeded in getting
into the favor of Senator Warren. The
Platter took him into his offices and as
sisted him whenever possible. When
the senator left to attend the state
