Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. IA strange
row has been kicked up in G. A. r..
circle here because Of the presence OF
the badge which Iowans will wear at San
Francisco OF the likeness OF Governor
Cummins. The opposition was trst
started by political opponents of the gov
ernor at Waterloo and now 1t is being
seized on at other points. The veterans
who are opposing the use Of the gov
errors likeness on the design take the
position that some distinguished military
man should have been represented. Phll
Kearney post at Oskaloosa, the nome OF
Major John r. Lacey, has adopted reso-
luton against the design
The design was selected by DR.. g. A.
Newman, assistant adjutant general of
the state G.. A. r. The sale of this badge
at so cents a piece was intended to help
defray expenses for the state department
at the national encampment. Dr. New
man says the G. A. r. men who are OPP
posing the portrait of the governor on the
badge make the mistake of supposing the
badge is a distinctive G.. A. r. design.
AS matter of fact, he says, it is a
state badge and it is the intention that
every person from Iowa at the encamp-
ment, whether man, woman or child,
should wear one. ...

no longer for him. She was married and

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 7.-Congressman
William H. Stafford Of Wisconsin said in
an interview to-day that he believes reci-

arrangements with that country which
would rebound to the benefit of both.
There has been no mutual trade agree
ment between Canada and the United
States since 1885, said the congressman.
= Since then the times and conditions
have materially changed. The members
of the Canadian parliament are favoring
some arrangement whereby trade between
the two countries can be unobstructed
and the thought of the merchants and
politicians of this country Is being di-
Tected to the matter by pamphlets and
periodicals and books which have been
published and widely distributed.'

In the application Of electricity to everyday

electrical churn; the barn contains cleo
trically operated feed and carrot-cutting ma

a small belt from the shaft connected with
the barn motor. The water pumping appar-
atus Is run by electricity; all the buildings ahag
is an electrical pipe lighter at the doors o.

small sawmill, which gets It's power from the
same station. On the farm are all kinds Of
electrical agricultural machines, including
charged from substations in the fields.
The power for all these various opera
tions-lighting, heating, telephones, churning

sawing-comes from a ffty-horse- power sta

this station the power is distributed to the

SODA WATER
VIII Cure rheumatism II the Liquid Is
Applied when Hot.

Applied when Hot.
Los Angeles Times.
Here is another asserted cure for rheum-
atism, sent in by a Pasadena correspond
emit, who says that he has used for twenty
years. It is simply to battle the affected
parts with soda water. He claims that
rheumatism is caused by check Of per-
spiration, so that the uric acid cannot es-
cape. The soda, he says, being an alkali
tends to neutralize the acid, and he fur
Their states that if the case is not of long
standing one application will effect a cure.
1t is not likely that a single application
of soda water would cure rheumatism,
even if the case is mild. Probably a bet
ter plan would be to take soda BATH
putting package Of baking soda in tub
of hot water. This makes the water soft,
and aids in opening the pores, permitting
perspiration. which Is a highly necessary
thing in cases of rheumatism, and is prob
ably the reason why cures are often ef-
fected at hot springs. It is not so much
the mineral contents Of the water that
affect the case as the sweating produced
by the hot bathing and the drinking Of
plenty Of soft water.

FLAT TWO-CENT RATE
Traffic Manager Of Great Western
Admits Considering It.

Chicago, Aug. 4.--P. c. storr, traffic man
ager of the Chicago Great Western railway,
in Chicago, on his way to New York. dis
cussed the western passenger rate situation.
He said:
"The question Of interchangeable mileage
has been receiving the consideration Of this
company. Among other things, we have at
selling 1,O0O-mile tickets good for bearer, at
a fat rate of $40. Some believe that such a
rate should be established in western territory
and the practice of making lower rates for
parties, conventions, ETC., be discontinued.
Others give good arguments in favor of main
tanning the present standard of rates"
Some passenger officials think the present
agitation will result in the maintenance OF
the credentials system with the rebate limit
raised from 1900. to 5000 miles.
