SAYS FEAR is AS
BAD AS DISEASE
Specialist Declares Mortality
From Consumption Can Be
Reduced 80 Per Cent.

''Phthisic-phobia. the fear of consump-
tion, IS a disease almost as bad as con-
sumption. The careful and conscientious
consumptive Is no more a menace to
health than any other man." said Doctor
S. A. Knopr of New York last night in
lecture before the Medical Society of the
City Hospital Alumni. in the Board of Ed
ucation building.
Doctor Knopf spoke on THE Possible
Victory Over the Great White Plague"
He is known as one of the greatest spe
cialists on consumption in America, and
his address received the closest attention.
While he advocated all logical methods
for the prevention of the spread of tuber-
culosis. he declared that consumption Is
the most preventable. durable and fire.
quent of diseases.
He advocated many reforms in preven
ton. including fine OF 500 or thirty
days Imprisonment for splitting in a street
car. He said that the cure for consump
ton is provided free in the use Of sun
shine. and pure air and water. He said
that. according to the mortuary report. If
the present conditions prevailed for
generation in st. Louis 10000 Of the per-
sons living would die of consumption, but
that II the necessary improvements were
made and the citizens were compelled to
live up to the law, that number would be
lessened so per cent.

tragedy of the air. Then they went back
to the sick room to tell Of the terrible
struggle for life they had just witnessed.
It did not occur to them that under their
very eyes a more terrible, moge pathetic
struggle was going on daily.
There can be nothing more pitiful
San the struggle the eousumptive
makes against disease. The greatest
help in this struggle Is gained by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It cures obstinate coughs, weak
and bleeding lungs, emaciation, and
other ailments which If neglected or

VANITY AND VEXATlON.
Absolutely Nothing in Politics as
Business Proposition.

len years or so ago man in this
town was actively engaged il politics.
He was chairman Of the committee. He
got out and worked. He was effective.
What he went after he got. He lined
up with lot Of fellows and did about as
they said-not that he was weak; he
was strong enough, but they were lead
ers and he was obliging. lie was
good fellow. When the man got into
trouble-what did his friends in politics
do for him?
Cut him dead!
That's what all friends who are mere
~ political friends may be expected to
do to any man. There is nothing in
politics politics. The man who
plays the game is not going to get out
OF the game and use his heart much. He
is in to win. Winning is more to man
in politics than friendship, than graft
tude, than anything on earth. There is
nothing in politics in the end but worm
wood, bitterness and vanity and yexa-
tion Of spirit. If man desires to sue
coed in business he should keep out Of
the game as game. He should vote,
get into the primaries to the right side,
and when he can be in the caucus, but
there is nothing in politics as game
but heart-break. The wrecks of this
town and state are ex-politicians. The
men who have won in this state are the
men who have been interested only so
far as they could help honest men to
win. In office-hunting there is only
ashes and bitterness. In manipulating
political events there is only gall and
NORWOOD.
The man who ten years ago in this
town did everything under heaven to
help his political friend now couldn't
get a pleasant look out of that friend,
much less a chew of tine-cut. This is
the story repeated for the thousanth
time. Many friendships are the salt of
life. The ability to help ones fellow
man is worthy object for any life. But
to play politics for the sake Of winning
that is about the shallowest game on
earth.

Cause of Lockjaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds, caused by percussion caps or by
rusty nails, and when the air.is exclud-
ed the germ is reused to activity and
produces the most virulent poison
known. These germs may be destroyed
and all danger of lockjaw avoided by
applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm free
ly as soon as the injury is received.
Pain Balm is an anteseptic and causes
such injuries to heal without matura-
tion and in one third the time required
by the usual treatment. 1t is for sale
by L. P. Van Werden.

STATE CENSUS.
Iowa Information to be Gathered
in 1905. y

At meeting of the executive council
date one of the important duties for
taking of the census. The census will
resentative amount of information will
be compiled.
When the census of 1896 was taken it
cost $4,000 to compile it, not including
the publication. The Legislature
fastened to repeal the law which re-
quired state census every ten years,
half way between each national census.
But last winter, following the sugges-
ton Of Governor Cummins in his mes
sage, very reasonable census law was
passed, authorizing the compilation of a
representative amount Of information
and limiting the expense to $4,000. 1t
is estimated that for this sum as much
can be done as was done in 1905 for
about twice as much.
The assessors are to collect this CEN
sus. The blanks, therefore, must be in
their hands the first Monday in January.
To secure the blanks it will be neces-
sary for the council to adopt forms
within very short time. Secretary
1 OdflSOll Will uIdlU lOTnS lmucu-
lately.
The following information will be
gathered, under the law Of last winter,
concerning each inhabitant of the state:
Name, age, color, sex, conjugal condi-
| ton, place Of birth and place Of birth of
parents.
Whether alien or naturalized, and if
either, number of years in the United
States.
Occupation and months employed.
Literacy and school attendance.
| Ownership Of farms and homes.
Special agricultural statistics are to
be secured, including the following
topics:
Name of occupant of each farm and
his color, tenure and acreage.
Value of farm and improvements.
Acreage Of different products.
Quantity and value of products.
Number and value of live stock.
The state must furnish all of the
blanks for taking this census and trans
nit them to the auditors. If assessors
fail to take the information the auditors
must appoint competent persons to dc
so at the expense of the counties. Re
turns have to be made in the state by
July Is.
When the law came to be drafted ii
was pretty certain that what was known
as the old soldiers preference law was
going to be passed. The committees
gave the matter considerable considera.
tion and finally the following provision
was inserted in the census law, that the
secretary of the council who will have
charge Of the compilation of the census
instead of the secretary of state, may
select force Of stenographers and &C.
countants without any controversy as
to whom the appointees may be:
"Sec. 6. In preparing said abstracts
(of the census) the executive council
shall employ only such persons as are
fully, qualified by their education and
skill to rapidly and accurately perform
the duties of stenographers and &C
4 countants."
The council is given authority to ado
to the information collected by the as
SCISSORS according to the schedules out
lined in the foregoing any information
it may desire as to railroads, banking
insurance, manufactures, educationa
affairs, and other matters of public in
terest.
