The case to which we wish to bring your
notice to-day is OF common occurrence in near
ly every household where there arc children,
and yet it Is impossible to overestimate it's
Importance. There Ia nothing complex about
it. 1t IS simply where a little boy, who had
been healthy child from birth UP to two
years old, bad then begun gradually to fail
IN health. The father. in writing of the
cannot tell definitely the cause of this decline
IN health, and we here introduce his letter for
you TO read:
TO Racine st, Racine, wis.
December 4, 1908.
Dear Sins: Our little boy, now two and a
half years old, was vecy healthy child
from birth up to last March. At that time,
however, he began to gradually fail In
health. Whether 1t was the strain Of win
ter or not could not say, but, at any rate,
We noticed that he was losing In flesh and
could get nothing that he would eat. He
fretted and cried a good deal at night so that
his rest was broken and almost before we
knew il he was in a very poor state of
health. After trying various remedies, we
finally decided to give the child treatment
Of Ozonu.sion. One thing that pleased us
with this preparation was that the child
became very fond of 1T. and would remind
us when 1t was time to give 1t to him. The
result OF the treatment has been most
prising. After TWO three weeks the boy
was himself again, eating everything putting
on desh and looking strong and well. We
could not believe that remedy would have
no exRggeratlon to say that our boy has
been completely restored to health by Ozomul-
sion.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) n. Andersen

where his people are comparatively
few his genius and capacity for pro-
noting, established a great denomina-
tional school,. What would he have
done in the northwest? In the little
town of Lindsborg he presented the
great oratorios on a scale scarcely
ever attempted even in the largest
cities. Life with him meant work and
the results were prodigious. Tho
with the multitudinous duties of col
lege president, he was a liberal con-
tributor to the periodical press, pro-
life author, active in scientific and
historical societies and always active
in politics.
Dr.. Swensson enjoyed the friendship
of President Roosevelt and other dis
tinguished men. He had been select
ed by President Francis of the Louis
lana Purchase exposition to offer the
invocation at the opening Of the
worlds fair at st. Louis. Intense and
patriotic in his Americanism he was
no less loyal to Sweden, the home of
his ancestors, and always sought to
foster what was best in Swedish litera-
ture, music and art Blessed with
great gifts he realized the responsible
| tiles imposed upon MIN and labOred
necessarily with voice and pen for the
| good of humanity. Untainted by sell
| fishness he never sought anything for
himself, tho his services to the repub-
high honors with rich emoluments had
he desired them. This spirit of self
denial was shown in 1900 when he was
called to the presidency of Augustana
college and theological seminary, the
largest Swedish institution in Ameri-
ca. He pondered over the matter for
several days and then announced that
inasmuch as Bethany college had nc
endowments he considered that his
work there had only been half COM
pleted.
DR.. Swensson's services to the Swed-
ish people were recognized by Oscar II
in 1900, when he conferred on hin
!; the honors of the Nordstjernan order
Bishop K. H. G. Won Schede repre-.
senting the king. This order was
founded in 174S and to be thus sig
nally distinguished pleased DR.. Swens
son greatly.
The funeral of DR.. Swensson, which
will be held at Lindsborg, next Tues
t day, will be attended by the dignita
ries of the Augustana synod and thu
prominent men of Kansas.

ITNLAND's TROUBLES GROW

duty Of the gendarmerie to eliminate

order to complete the work in time and

but from the present activity the con-

Fedraminne Translated.

Scores of translations We're made Of
Aasmund Vinje's poem, "Fedraminne." in
an attempt to win the prize offered by
Elias Steenerson., Some We're excellent,
some clever and some peculiar. TO the
latter class belongs one made by a resi-
dent of DEBORAH and printed by Poster.
Two stanzas are quoted:
That dad was such a hustler
And hero in the strife
A rough and ready rustler
Who led a strenuous life;
This ever should remind me
To hump to beat the band,
That I may leave behind me
Some footprints in the sand.
Pa was a record breaker,
For SO the sagas run.
TIe was a fluent speaker
And handy with the gun.
You never heard him grumble
Nor at his luck complain.
And if he took a tumble,
He soon was up again.

Wild Prank of Drunken Sailors.

The harbor police of Copenhagen had a
lively time recently. Three drunken sail
ors looking for a chance to get over to
their ship caught sight of small steam :
boat express tied to the dock. There was
no one on board, so they boarded the
vessel, cut hep adrift and started the fires.
Without lights the vessel steamed out
of the harbor and was going at a lively
clip when the police were notified. They
soon overhauled the vessel and after
many attempts succeeded in casting
rope so as to catch and hold. BY means
of this rope one of the officers clambered
aboard and stopped the machinery.

Is this a leap year, II so, why was not
1900 a leap year?
This year is leap year. There was no
leap year -four years ago for this reason;
When Julius Caesar reformed the calen-
dar he assumed the year to be 365 days, 6
hours long; really it was 365 days, D
hours, IS minutes and 40 seconds-less
than a quarter of day by IL minutes.
The extra hours were set aside by Caesar
and every fourth year added together
and made into an extra day, which was
added TO February. But the solar year,
starting always a few minutes before the
calendar, after six centuries was found
to be ten days ahead of the calendar.
Pope Gregory XIII in 1852 decided to
correct the calendar so that the two years
would correspond more nearly. So by
his direction October 5, 1852, was fol-
lowed by October Is, which brought the
two years together for the time being.
Then, to keep them together, he ordered
that every year divisable by four should
be leap year, and that these should be
leap years only when divisable by 400.
So 1900 was a leap year, and 1000 will be,
bat 100, 1900, and 1900 we're not. 1t was
found that by taking the year as 1856 days,
IA hours long,and having leap year every
fourth year the calendar year would have
about a quarter off day more than the
solar year at the end of every century.
and by dropping the extra quarter for
centurial years the calendar year would
have a day less at the end of the fourth
century with the four unused quarter
days still on hand, so to speak. These
made All extra day, which will be added
to February in that fourth centurial year,
and so bring the solar and calendar dates
together.
