II is understood that President
Charles Reed. of the board Of alder
men. will resign his Office in order to
allow some hold-over democrat to
succeed him. and remain president
in case the republican members
when they reorgaAize after the first
Of the year. would not consent to
the democrats having both presid-
ing officers. Pres. Reed stated today
that IL he did resign. Il would be
in the interest OF harmony. and in
order that should any deadlock arise
in the boards over the election Of
the presiding officer, there would
still be presiding officer. He said
he suggested to the mayor that he
and President Ed. Hannah, of the
council. resign. and the mayor told
him to say nothing about 1t, but that
1t had leaked out. he noticed by the
papers.

The republicans do not understand
why the democrats should want to
hog everything, as they have never
intimated that they desired to have
any advantage over the others. They
will have half the boards. however.
and are not disposed to be worried
over the outlook.

The History of Hospitals Begins

The temple at Epidaurus was found

first century A. D. in honor of Escu.

Beyond the sacred Enclosure was a
building for the reception of the sick
and dying, which Strabo describes as
a place renowned for the cure of all
diseases, always full of invalids and
containing votive tablets descriptive of
cures.
About $50 A. D. hospital was found.

him at CRsarea, and another at Rome
by Fabiola, a wealthy Roman widow
for the reception of the sick poor.
Basil is said by Gregory, the pres.

for lepers with money collected for the
purpose. The Hotel Dieu in Paris
founded in the seventh century, and

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to doctor himself, al
though he may have the proper rem
edies at hand. A physician should
always be called. It should be borne
IN mind, however, that pneumonia al
ways results from a cold or from an at.
tack of the grip, and by the proper
treatment of these diseases a threatened
attack of pneumonia may be warded
off There is no question whatever
about this, as during the thirty years
and more that Chamberain's Cough
Remedy has been used, we have vet to
learn of single case of cold or at
tack of grip having resulted IN pneu-
monia when this remedy was used. 1t
is also used by physicians in the treat.
ment of pneumonia with the best re-
suits. DIR. W. J. Smith, of Sanders,
Ala, who is also a druggist, says Of it:

INTERESTING FARM NEWS
CLEANED HERE AND THERE
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS THAT CAN BE
APPLIED WITH SPLENDID SUCCESS.
The Care of Live Stock, the Cultivation Of
Crops and the Latest Methods Usd in
Raising and Caring for POnltry.

The demand for farmers institutes
is genuine when local communities are
willing to pay all expenses in case the
state is unable to grant their requests,
SAYS Alva Agee in National StOckman.
In the first week of January l attended
two such meetings in Indiana while on
nv way to Minnesota. The first one
was at Carthage, and it has not been
my privilege to be present at a more
enthusiastic meeting anywhere this
season. There is a sufficient number of
the Friends at Carthage to remind one
constantly of towns in Chester county,
Pa. Evidences of prosperity are on ev-
cry hand. The last few years have
been exceptionally profitable ones in
the corn belt, and the farmers are very
glad that they are on earth.
At this institute we had Mr.. s. r.
McMahan and Mrs. Virginia Meredith,
two veteran institute instructors of the
state. Mr. McMahan probably knows
as much about corn as is known, and
that means a great deal. 1t has been
a revelation to me to learn how thor
oughly these breeders of corn have
studied and developed this grain. They
are after an ear of corn that is so form
ed that it contains a high percentage
of grain that is rich in protein, high in
vitality and very prolific. That means
deep, wedge shaped, thick grains, with
big germs, all placed on a cob that
holds its thickness to the tip and that
is covered with grain to the very tip.
There are states farther east whose
corn growers would be pleased and
profited by the information Mr.. McMa-
han has about our great American ce-
real.
Mrs. Meredith is a farmer and a
breeder of Shorthorn cattle whose rep
utation extends over many states. She
has been successful because she has
ability and a love for her work. From
her example we do not infer that wom-
en- should or should not turn to farm
management for a livelihood. All de-
ponds upon the individual. We do
learn, however, that if an individual
has ability and natural inclination that
person may win in practical farming,
whether man or woman.
The other Independent institute was
at Pittsboro, Ind, in the corn belt,
where hogs have been adding to the
wealth of the people. Many ladies at
tended the meeting, and the institute
committee arranged early in the sea-
son to secure Mrs. J. w. Bates, one of
the we'll known Indiana workers, to
discuss topics of special interest to
housekespers. The interest of the peo-
pie in ali subjects on the programme
was of the sort that should cause all
speakers to do their best work

THE WATER LOTUS.
A Plant That Has the Power of Pu-

A Plant That Has the Power of Pu-
rifying Standing Water.
There is a plant growing in the
southern waters of the United States
which possesses the singular proper
ty of being able to render the most i'm
pure standing water perfectly healthy.
The people of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi call it the water lotus.
1t consists of leaves about the size of
the head of a pin and roots so fine as
to escape notice save under a micro
scopic inspection. Where it grows at
all, it covers the water and to the cas-
ual observer looks like a coating of
green scum. The flowers and seeds
are microscopic, so that its appearance
in any given locality is not readily ac-
counted for, but wherever it does ap-
pear the water beneath is always fiji
to drink.
So marked is this property that fam
lilies using the water from bayOus
where the lotus is abundant are known
to have better general health thar
those taking their drinking water from
places where the lotus is not found.

Omens In Tea.

When the tea is made and the lid Of
the teapot is forgotten for minute or
two it is a sure sign that some one will
drop in for the meal. Two spoons put
by chance into the saucer of a maid
or a bachelor denote that he or she
will be married within year. Putting
cream into your tea before you sweet
en- it will bring you love troubles. A
tea stalk floating in a girls teacup is a
"beau." She should stir her tea brisk
ly and then hold the spoon upright in
the center. If the beau" be attracted
toward the spoon and cling to it gen.
