CLOTHING AND FURNISHINGS
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1904-06-22

G. W. Mead and S. q. Peterson
were east-bound passengers for ST.
Paul and Minneapolis last Tuesday
afternoon.
Attorney A. G. Dolliff, who rep
resents the petitioners for the ju-
dicial road between Redwood and
Yellow Medicine counties, west of
Belview, drove to the latter place
Thursday for the purpose of pre-
pairing a final report for the COM
missioners, which was submitted
to Judge Powers yesterday. The
road, if ordered, will be quite a
help to Belview, and consequently
the appraisers from Yellow Medi-
cine county were luke-warm on the
proposition. In the report the COM
missioners recommend that four
miles of the proposed road be not
declared a public highway, but that
the remainder be allowed, accord
ing to the petition, and a very good
list of awards of damages has been
recommended to the court.
Speaking of the Renville-Redwood
game at Renville, the Record says:
The game Tuesday of last week
with Redwood Falls was an easy
victory for Renville. Poor fielding
| by Redwood, and Francois wild
ness gave the game to Renville.
Davis was in the box for the first
time this season and Redwood
opened up on him in the first inn
ing in manner that seemed to
bode i'll for Renville. Three hits
| brought in two runs and it looked
squally. But after that Davis set
| tied down and Redwood was never
in danger of scoring, their remain
| ing four hits being well scattered.
Francois pitched a good game until
rank errors behind him let in three
scores. He lost his grip for an inn
ing, allowed hit and passed three
men to first. That combined with
a passed ball, balk and more err
rors brought in four runs. He was
quite effective for the rest of the
game but the game had been lost.
Renville only made four hits off his
delivery but every hit and base on
balls was made effective. Holland
and Wakefield started adouble steal
of second and home with Francois
holding the ball and the bewildered
Redwood players caught neither of
them.

corner of Minnesotaand Fourth streets,
for sale. Inquire of owner. soft
An important discovery was made
by the surgeons in charge at the
Rochester hospital, one day last
week, while operating on Miss Ber-
tina Lohrenz Of this city. 1t was.
discovered that an overcoat button
had effected Judgment in one of
the intestinal passages, and this
was safely removed. Miss Lohrenz
has repeatedly undergone hospital
treatment during the past two or
three years, and her life was we'll
nigh despaired of. The removal Of
this peculiar internal obstruction
gives the family reason to hope that.
the invalid now has a chance to re-
gain her health. 1t is assumed by
the doctors that the button was
swallowed during the early child
hood of Miss Lohrenz, and had its
discovery been delayed much long
er, it would have been too late to
save her.

tions. As nation we are building the
better house. We have found that it costs
labor and blood to secure the site for our
edifce, that our material, cut from the
forests of the Old World, is rough and un.
seasoned; that sometimes our workers fail
to enter unselfshly into the spirit of the
enterprise. We at times discover, too, that
we have not followed correctly the plan OF
the great architect, and then it becomes
necessary for us to humble ourselves by
tearing down part of the structure. But,

The nations social ideal makes ineXor-
able demands upon every citizen of the re-
public. The world Of to-day marvels al
the matchless benefactions of our men oi

is that this unprecedented philanthropy is
so peculiarly American. It is due to the
imperative claims of our social ideal. Pub

educator feels the same pressure. He hears
the voice of the people summoning him to
a free search for truth. The true labor
leader recognizes the same stern call to ser
vice; so he becomes a mediator, an arbi.
traitor between two great forces. The old
story in the good Book tells us that
Babel O mighty calamity befell the race
that there the speech of mankind became
confused. In this land of ours Babel is re;
versed. The nations are here assembled
to build the greater tower OF truth, and
the confusion of the Babel tongues gives
place little by little to a new language. the
language of love-, spoken by the tolllIng

fact of life. But the world will not remain
forever content with mere things. The

The Uaeful Camel.

The Somali camel can eat everything
and drinks nothing. 1t will make a
meal where even the country pony
would starve. Daremo, mimosa, aca-
cia-all come alike to it; and when
shoots and leaves are withered it can
fall back on roots, thorns and bark.
That sort of digestion makes it, of
course, valuable in a country where
the bill of fare seems compiled in the
interest Of carnivora, but its indiffer-
ence to liquid is its especial virtue.
While the Arab camel needs drink
daily, his Somali brethren, when on a
march, are watered only every fifth
day, and when drouth prevails may be
left for ten. When grazing they are
supposed to be watered every sixth
day, but such regularity depends on
the energy Of the herders and the con.
dition of the grass, the herds when the
grass is green being often left without
water for as long as three months.

The Weight of Children.

Some curious experiments have been
made at one of the royal philanthropic
institutions in Copenhagen. For some
years back the seventy boys and girls
in the place have been carefully
weighed every day il groups OF fifteen
and under. Thereby it is proved that
the children gain weight mostly in
autumn and IN the early part of De-
cember From that time till the end
of April there is scarcely any increase
in weight. More remarkable still.
there is a dimiEution till the end of
summer.

Gowns For Occasions.

Demi.toilette gowns with semi-high
corsages are those usually worn at
theatres or small dinners. These this
season are made in various shades or
mousseline de sole, crepe de chine, or
in any of the new filmy materials for
evening wear. One particularly charm
ing was carried out in black chiffon
over foundation of ivory satin. The
bodice was artistically draped, fichu
fashion. with long ends falling down
in front and at the back. The waist
line was defined by jeweled girdle,
which tastefully held in the fullness
there. The sleeves were of the varie-
ty known as angel shaped. and the
neck was filled in with needle-point
lace. The skirt. closely gathered into
the waist, fared out below into large
f1ouRces.

King Keeps Hotel.

The King of Wurttemberg is the only
hotelkeeper who is a King. When
Peter the Great was travelling incog-
nito through Europe he refused to stay
anywhere but at an inn. To circum-
vent this whim the then King of Wurt-
temberg put tavern sign outside one
Of the royal palaces, and dressed as
an innkeeper, himself welcomed the
Gar. That monarch's descendants
have been in "the trade", ever since;
Ind the present King owns two large
hotels, from which he derives about
$4,000 a year.

Row to Keep House.

With all the Injuries and pleasures OF
this life, its big enioyments and Its smaller
comforts, there is an offset or antlthesis
which we have to contend with IN the
form of aches and pains. In some way and
by some means every one has touch OF
them in some form at some time. Irlting
as some of them may be, the risk is that
they will grow to something greater and
rack the system with constant torture.
There is nothing. therefore, of this kind
that we have right to trife with. Taken
in time, the worst forms of pains and
aches are easily subdued and cured
by the free use CT st. Jacobs Oh.

A Ribbon Novelty.

Hitherto a ribbon was a strip OF
SILK. satin. or velvet, generally chosen
in a color to contrast with the garment
with which it was to be worn. THIS
is all changed. and this year ribbons
will not only match the gown in color.
but in fabric as well. 10 meet this
edict of fashion there are the most
exquisite ribbons fashioned from the
materials to be most popular this sum-
mer for dresses. There are ribbons OF
white silk muslin. decorated with gold;
chiffon ribbons strewn with flower de-
signs. ribbons of pongee. of linen and
of crash and ribbons of net and gren'
adine borGered with velvet or with
satin. The possibilities of these rib
bons in the way of trimmings is at
once apparent, for, although they
match the gown. the necessary color
note is given in the color decoration OF
the ribbons themselves.

Purifyinp Milk by Ozone.

An apparatus in use in Germany for
the purifica ton of milk by ozonization
is so constructed that the milk con-
tanned in a vessel flows thence IN a
thin stream into another vessel placed
beneath. The wires and carbon points
of a strong electric battery are so ar
ranged that the arc formed by the
jumping of the current from one car
bon point to the other passes through
or in close proximity to the stream of
milk. The ozone which is thereby en-
gendered from the oxygen of the air
is said to be sufficient to kill all micro
organisms contained in the milk.
While no reference has been made to
the use of this apparatus for the puri-
fcation of water there seems to be no
reason why ozone could not be applied
to this end, unless it be the difference
in cost between the milk and water
the price obtainable for the latter pos
sibly not permitting the use of this
purifying agent.

Resisting Power.

When a physician is called to q case
of severe illness, the first thing that ne
estimates is the resisting power of the pa
tient. The chances for his recovery are
in proportion to his vitality. If there be
little Of that at the outset there is small
hope of overcoming the disease. The re-
sistinp power of persons in full health ls
such that in an epidemic they throw off
the disease germs that PROSTATE others.
One cannot always tell from appearances
lust how much ability one has to withstand
the inroads of malady., Some who ap'
parently are robust almost immediately
succumb, while others who look trall re-
cover from violent attacks. OF course, DIS,
spation, unhygienic living. unhealthtul
surroundings sap ones resisting power, SO
that when virulent ailment makes an
attack one has strength insufficient to
fight it off.
You see that it is not so much the ma
lignancv of the disease as it is the. vital
ity of the man that determines the re-
suit. just so it is also in the moral world.
There are some persons living lives so up
right. so spiritually healthy, that they are
practically immune from temptation. AND
when they are overcome, they soon DIS
cover themselves. for their power OF resls-
tance is great. On the other hand, there
arc those who after succumbing to one
temptation are completely swept away by
the power of evil. How can that be ac-
counted for? Obviously in the same way
that the ability to resist physical disease
is to be explained. There has been un-
wholesome moral living; the mind has
been permitted to become familiar With
evil thoughts; the soul has breathed in
miasma and corruption until one has no
ability to put away temptation.
All this suggests the need of resisting
power both against disease and against
sin. A pure, clean, wholesome life, physl-
cal and moral, will make one secure
against any harm that either can DO.
