A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely nntit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; It is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine

Fort Dodge, Sept 25.-Fort Dodge
citizens have been much aroused of late
because of the number of fires. Four
made the citizens suspicious and many
are inclined to believe that some were
due to incendiarism.
The Great Western Cereal Mill fire
was the first, but although no one saw
this fire start, it is thought that it was
due to combustion. The loss there was
over $1,000. Following this was the
fire in the Crescent restaurant, but this
was due to gasoline stove explosion
fire large new barn was destroyed,
and this was probably due to incendiar-
ism. Following this the fire in the
former cold storage plant of the Pabst
Brewing Company Thursday evening.
Firemen are of the opinion that this
also was purposely set.
The police are inclined to believe that
some one is doing it to furnish excite
ment, and to see the big carnival
crowds run to the fire. The loss, while
not very large in any instance, is
enough to make the property owners
very angry, and should the guilty per-
son be caught he would not be let off
