Require the Most Careful Attention as
Well as Good Soil.
Did you ever see a rosebush which,
despite the most benefcent environment
of soil-of sunshine-and of atmosphere,
seemed never to achieve a healthy
growth.
A ton of manure will not help a plant
that has a canker eating out its heart.
You must destroy the before you
can remove the effect.
You cannot cure Dandruff and Bald
ness by rubbing on hair lotions, and
rubbing in vaseline, etc. ~.
You must look to the cause Of the
trouble-it's a germ at the roots of
your hair which causes 1t to- fall out.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys the germ,

A GROWING TIME. .
Adams Express People Handle Many
Fine Chickens.

The express messengers Of the AID
ans Company had a lively time last
evening on the train between New
Sharon and Oskaloosa and then the
boys had their share Of the fun.
The company had fifty coops OF
chickens to handle. The fowls had
been on exhibition at New Sharon
at the annual poultry show and were
being shipped back to their homes.
Oskaloosa was a natural oistribut-
ing point.
The night was unusually cold, with
the mercury in the neighborhood OF
ten, below, and the express people
had to hustle like mad to get the
poultry to cover to keep from freezing
them. The company did not have
wagons enough in the city to handle
half the birds at one time. They had
to make several trips to and from
the Office and in the meantime the
coops were cared for in the baggage
room at the Iowa Central station,
The work in connection with the con
signment was the hardest the boys
have had in many moons. The
Christmas rush was not "a patchin''
to it.

osKALoosA INVENTION.
Bids Fair to Make a Fortune For
Chas. Phelps, Of This City.

Des Moines News: Charles Phelps,
of Oskaloosa, is in a fair way to real
ize a fortune from a small patent at
tachment which he originated to apply
on hot water heating plants, at small
cost, to heat water SO degrees above a
point possible under ordinary circum-
stances.
Patent Attorneys Orwig G Lane are
looking after the legal phase of the
invention. A patent was secured in
Washington a few weeks ago, and
Dec. 81 the Canadian government al
so issued a patent to Phelps.
The continuance is unique, in that it
may be attached to any part of a not
water heating plant. 1t is only about
a foot long, could be placed in an or
binary cigar box and is made of steel.
1t supplies a release for the expan.
sion of heating water. Ordinarily
water may be heated to 2I2 degrees
until 1t passes into steam. No means
had ever been found for securing
nor intense heat in water until Mr.
Phelps gave the world his invention
1t costs only about ten or fifteen dol
lars and will save perhaps as much as
$40 in fitting out a heating plant for
an ordinary house, requiring much
less radiation, which is the expensive
portion Of this kind of heating plant
Mr.. Phelps Is now manufacturing
the attachment at Oskaloosa and sew
eral of them are in use in Des Moines.

CAR ISSUES AN
ADDRESS TO ARMY
CALLS ON SOLDIERS TO STAND
UP FOR FATHERLAND.
ENEMY is BRAVE AND STRONG
Confident, However, that Notwith-
standing the Reverses, the Hour
of Victory is Striklng-More
Serious Losses Sustained.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 14.-The car
today issued the following address
to the army:
port Arthur has passed into the
hands of the enemy after a strug-
gle lasting eleven months, during
seven of which the brave garrison
was isolated without hope. Never
theless, they sustained the siege
hardships, p~rivations and mortal tor
lures without complaint, determined
that the enemy woul gain nothing
without paying dearly for it. With
a handful of men we withstood the
enemy's furious attacks. My brave
soldiers and sailors, let not this sor-
row discourage you. Our enemy is
brave and strong and it Is extremely
difficult to sustain the struggle at a
distance of ten thousand versts but
Russia is great and powerful. We
are greatly grieVed by the lack Of
success and painful losses but let us
not abandon u courage. 1t is in
sorrowful times such as these that
the power of Russia renews itself.
l am confident that the hour of vic
tory is striking and that God will
bless our dear army and navy in
their effort to crush the enemy and
sustain the honor and glory Of our
f~atherland."
Recent Russian Losses.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 14.-As otici-
ally announced today, the Russian
casualties during the past fortnight
have been, killed seven officers and
1888 men; wounded, forty-two officers
and 949 men; missing forty-three
This list Of casualties probably in
