Get Children
Started Right

Measles, scarlet fever, mumps
and whooping cough are univer-
sally prevalent.
With all these, the disease itself
is often trivial, but the after effects
are very serious.
Close observers say that one
half the people suffer from eye
trouble (result of measles), or
bronchial, ear, or kidney trouble
(result of other diseases of child
hood).
Now child in robust health
will throw off these diseases. A
weak ail;ng child will probably
suffer all its life.
We have just the medicine for
puny, ailing children. 1t is Vinol.
1t is pleasant to take, it is free
from dangerous drugs, it is nour-
ishing and gently tonic, it helps the
food to digest and gives strength.
1t has been used in this town
with great success when children
were slow in getting over whooP-
ing cough and measles.
1t seems to give them a start,
and they become bright and
healthy. Used with Vinlax, the
bowel regulator, it is safe and sure,
both for ailing children and bur
dened mothers. Take home a
bottle on our guarantee OF money
back if it's not good. Don't let
your little ones remain weak and
ailing.

What Goes with Rat Skins.

It is probably not generally known what
goes with the large number Of muskrat
skins which are shipped from the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, and especially from
Somerset, Wicomico and Dorchester coun-
ties
Strange to say, the majority Of the
muskrat skins are shipped abroad, partic-
ularly to Germany and Russia, where they
are used largely for army gloves. The
United States military authorities have also
recently adopted the use Of the fur for
gloves The skins are generally consigned
TO c. ~ Lampson, London, probably the
largest fur and skin dealer in the world,
or to the Hudson Bay Company Office in
London. C. NJ Iampson holds four sdes
Of skins during the year and the Hudson
Bay Company two, all The furs collected
in the intervals being sold then At the
January sales this year in London 600,
coo muskrat pelts were sold by c. NJ.

Hudson Bay Company In 1901 C. NJ.

skunk, 200, 000; civet cat, 81, 900; mink,
333, 600; red fox, l09, 600.
Dorchester county is the seat of the
muskrat industry, many trappers being
engaged in the trade there As many as
800, 000 muskrat skins were sent to
Baltimore firm during last year. In ad-
diton to the skin muskrats are in demand
for their meat, bringing from : to s cents
apiece The receipts of muskrats have
been smaller this season than last owing to
more stringent game laws, which shorten
the period when they may be hunted 1t

Storks Are Queer Creatures.

The owner of house near Berlin found
a single egg in the nest of pair of storks
built on the chimney and substituted for
it goose's egg, which in due time was
hatehed and produced gosling instead of
the expected storkling The male bird
was thrown into the greatest excitement
by this event and finally flew away. The
female, however, remained on the nest and
continued to care for the changeling as
though it were her own offspring.
On the morning of the fourth day the
male reappeared accompanied by nearly
500 storks, which held massmeeting in
an adjacent field The assembly, we are
informed, was addressed by several speak
ers, each orator posting himself on the
same spot before beginning his harangue
These deliberations and discussions
occupied nearly the entire forenoon, when
suddenly the meeting broke up and all the
storks pounced upon the unfortunate fe-
male and her supposititious young one,
killed them both and, after destroying the
polluted nest, took wing and departed and
were never seen there again.

The Afternoon Tidying Up.

When woman lives in city or large
town she generally tries to change her dress
or tidy up some in the afternoon. For if
she has no help she wants to be fit to an
swer the door, and anyway she might have
calls In the country, if woman lives a
little back on farm, particularly if she
does her own work or has children, it is
nothing unusual to drop in unexpectedly in
the evening and find her dressed in the
same homely, dark calico wrapper she has
worn all day Then she feels little
ashamed Of her attire and begins to muir
mur excuses, "a hard day work, ''been
too busy, "haye so much to do after
supper, ETC., etc.
In the first place l believe decidedly in
dressing according to ones work. When
a woman is doing her own housework a
dress that will not show soil readily, that
can be easily laundered and of an easy fit
is imperative. But in very few cases Is it
necessary to keep on the same attire till
bedtime. Many say, Il have so much to
do after tea, can t be dressed up, and
''there is only husband, or husband and
the children Dear wives and mothers,
it is just for these home ones, the husband
and children. that would have you dress
Depend upon it, the children will enjoy
seeing mother look presentable when they
come into the house in the evening, and |
am sure you viii see difference in the
manner in which your husband treats you,
though it will probably be unconscious on
his part, and if you are wise woman you
will appear to notice it. Many will proba
bly, say in spite of the above, 1T is all
very well to read it in the paper, but
cannot afford to dress up, or soil my good
dresses.
But you can afford it if you'll try this
plan if you are in the habit Of wearing
calico all winter, while about the house, as
50 many do, you viii not need a thick
gown. Buy some pretty pereale, red, blue,
brown OF lavender, something not too light
but Of becoming tint, and make plain
shirt-wai having collar and cuffs of the
same material: skirt Of the same, or pre-
ferably one of dark -colored, light-weight
wool that can be easily washed when soiled.
Tie Bit of bright ribbon around your col
lar. If the waist is blue, try bright red
Then put on a fresh apron and look in the
glass The change didn't take more than
ten minutes Your waist when soiled can
be cleaned as easily as the morning wrap

But Also Send for a Doctor

10 the Editor Of the \. \. Sun-Sir :
In view Of prevalence of pneumonia to such
an alarming extent, and the many deaths
resulting theretrom, send you the follow
ing for publication
CURE FOR PNEUMONIA.
Take six to ten onions, according to size,
and chop fine, put in large spider over a
hot fire, then add about the same quantity
of rye meal, and vinegar enough to make
it thick paste.
In the meanwhile, stir it thoroughly, let
ting it simmer FIVE or ten minutes. Then
put in a cotton bag large enough to cover
the lungs, and apply it to the chest as hot
as the patient can bear. When it gets
cool apply another, and thus continue by
reheating the poultices In a few hours
the patient will be out of danger
This simple remedy has never failed in
this too often fatal malady.
Usually three or four applications will
be sufficient, but continue always until per
spiration starts freely from the chest
This simple remedy was formulated many
years ago by one of the best physicians
New England has ever know, who never
lost a patient by this disease, and won his
renown by saving persons by simple RENE
dies after the best medical talent had pro-
nounced their case hopeless.
Personally, we know of three persons
who We're saved by the remedy last winter
in Boston after their physicians had given
them up to die; and if record was made
of all similar cases during the last six years,
| it would fill a good sized volume.

and Norah seemed to Get along nicely,
Herbert taking little notice of things ex
cept to observe that everything about the
house moved with cloekwork regularity,
and Norah' wages made no demand upon

was such a good manager that she saved
enough out Of her weekly allowance to pay
the girl, and congratulated himself on hay

But one night going home he found a

The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1903-12-31

The advocates of the biennial election
law in Iowa are pretty slow in showing
up any argument in it's favor since there
has appeared some real opposition to it.
This law carried several years ago at
an election in which it was not discuss
ed and scarcely mentioned by anybody.
1t was carried on vote of about one
half the people of the state, the other
half not understanding the measure to
be voted on and letting the special
ballots lie in the booths unmarked. The
measure will be voted again next fall,
if passed by the next legislature, but
there is prospect that it will be more
studied and discussed and consequently
that it will have more opponents.
Elections once in two years may be bet
ter than elections once year, but no.
body but the politicians ever find it out
where it has been tried.
