The Owner Of the Old Gray Horse.

In an article in the DEBORAH Repub-
lican of Aug. End H. B. Merwin. 700
Mechanic street, DEBORAH, Iowa,
states that he is the owner of the old
gray horse mentioned in my article
appearing in Republican July Goth
also that she is very gentle. and do
cile animal. Not ever having had the
pleasure of driving the horse l will
take Mr.. Merwin's word for it that
she is perfect LADY, 1 am very
glad to know that Mr.. Merwin owns
the horse, and as he claims to have
sold thirty thousand dollars worth of
monuments "before Steele came TO
Decorah'' his statement as to the
ownership ought to be true. She
certainly should be very valuable to
HIM in lis business, as with her aid
he is enabled to get far enough away
from DEBORAH to sell some of his work.
Mr.. Merwin also states that he is not
a stranger in the county, and proves
it by giving his street address. am
pleased to know he is so well known,
and sincerely hope he may become
better known in the future. to "the
dear public, - as he terms the people.
He also makes the statement that he
is not connected with The DEBORAH
Granite Works. fact which is true,
and of which I am very glad. This
statement will be gratefully received
by several people in the county, some
who have inquired of me IF Merwin
was working for me- His action
in making the above statement is CON-
mendable, as it indicates a step in the
right direction.
1t occurs to the writer that if he is
so proud of the monuments he has
erected, it should not be necessary for
him to represent himself as someone
else in order to make sale.
1 am amused to learn that Mr.. Mer-
win thinks his competition so very
"hot." Incidentally might mention
that neither Mr.. Cox nor myself have
"sweat out" an unusual number of
collars this summer, and unless the
competition referred to gets whole
lot hotter, we shall lay in the usual
supply of coal for next winter In
this connection l desire to state that
am not in competition with La Crosse

no drug that will cure the disease.
The treatment of tuberculosis is
necessarily expensive and it takes a
long time-from three months to a
year-even in early cases-so it is
very difficult to successfully treat a
case in the home. Many states are
providing sanitariums for the treat
ment of tuberculosis, and Iowa has
just made provision for such an insti.
tuition.
Symptoms of disease that should
lead you to secure careful examin-
alton by your physician: /. A cough

FIGHTING THE PLAGUE.
Everybody Becoming Enlisted in the Fight
Against tuberculosis.

Nearly everybody is enlisted in the
war upon the white plague in Iowa.
And it is only by this method. only
by educating and interesting all that
success is possible. A bulletin has
been compiled by the Iowa association
for the study of tuberculosis, and is
Endorsed by the state board of health
/ 1t says:
You can save yourself and family
from tuberculosis (consumption)- if
you know how. Do you know that
2,O0O Iowans die every year from tu-
berculois? That on an average every
one dying infects four others, and
| that 5000 persons in Iowa now have
the disease? Tie cause of tuberculo-
sis is germ-a little vegetable growth,
which occurs by the millions in the
sputum (spit) of the persons having
the disease. If consumptive immed.
lately burns or disinfects his sputum
he will not give the disease to any one
else.
The germ loves to be indoors. 1t
multiplies rapidly in the body of the
person who lives, or works or sleeps
indoors where ventilation is poor.
Cleanliness and sunlight and fresh air
are destructive to the life for the
germ. 1t perishes before open win

such as grip. pleurisy, pneumonia,
typhoid fever and measles is in Just
the condition in which the germ of
tuberculosis can multiply fastest
because the bodily health or power
to resist is lowered Anyone who
habitually or excessively uses alcohol
lessons his power to resist tuberculo-
sis. Anyone who is constantly over
worked or poorly fed, or who lives or
works or sleeps in a poorly ventilated
room, weakens his resisting power
and easily becomes a subject of tuber-
culosis.
Can tuberculosis be cured? Yes,
emphatically, yes, if proper treatment
is begun early. Even patients in
advanced stages if rightly treated,
often partly recover and are able to
work and enjoy life for years. Every
patient with tuberculosis. no matter
how far advanced the disease may be,
can be so treated that he will not give
the disease to those about him.
The chief conditions necessary for
successful treatment are: /. Early
recognition OF the disease. 2. Fresh
air IN the greatest abundance day
and night. 3. Plenty of the most nu-
tricious food. L. Absolute rest in bed
until fever has ceased. 8. Carefully
regulated exercise. 6. All of the
above must be used under close obser-
walton of competent physician who
will see to it that everything is done
for the individual patient, that will
increase his power TO resist. While !
medicine may relieve some of the
symptoms for the time being there is

Mail Order vs.. Hotel Business.

Some of the more thoughtful hotel
proprietors of the smaller cities and
towns throughout the country are
awakening to the fact that certain
metropolitan mail order houses are the
indirect cause of slackening in the
hotel business in these communities
that town of five or ten thousand
population may do much manufactur-
ing, may grow in population and
wealth, may add to its residences
yearly, extend its area, and have
every indication of growth. yet the
hotel business does not increase, the
trade of local merchants is not aug
mented from year to year, and no
more money, if as much. is spent in
the town than there was twenty years
ago. A young hotel manager of Iowa
has taken the trouble to ascertain just
how much money has been sent from
his county to a certain mail order
house of Chicago, realizing that the
enormous drain on the county has
indirectly affected his hotel receipts.
Hotel men in the northwest, in
Iowa, Nebraska. the Dakotas, in new
and growing communities, with the
merchants, are opening their eyes
to competition that comes from
establishments thousand miles
distant. Some of them are asking,
"What are you going to do about
it?" The mail order business is legi-
innate, it transgresses no written or
unwritten laws. In Chicago there
are two concerns, which in brief
twenty years have grown from moth
ing to become two of the greatest
mercantile establishments III the
world; their originators were poor
and not even proud when they began
with nothing and through the cy-
clonic business development of the
city and country have (the creatures
of circumstances been showed up to
the front of business that now over
tops the greatest legitimate merchant
of the city.
How do these concerns affect the
hotel business of the country town?
1t is no tax ON the brain to explain.
Through catalogues, sent by mail,
they sell direct to the farmer and la
borer of the comounity that should
support the town, everything he needs
from paper of pins to pillow or
threshing machine. Even the citizen
of the town sends to the large mail
order house for clothing, implements,
furniture, etc., but it is in the rural
district where the big catalogue be-
comes bible, and is implicitly trust
ed. The farmer and backwoodsman
seems hypnotized by the big book,
scrapes together his money, sends it
in advance for the article he orders, |
and only patronizes his home store
when his purse runs low and he
must have credit. The cash-down |
edict is the saving clause, the one fac
tor that makes the $40, 600, 600 mail |
order house of Chicago (recently in
possible. That kind of |
business does away with the necessity |
of country store. Of the travelling

A sounding line from the United
States steamer Albatross, of the fish
commission. lately touched bottom at
a depth of 80, $50 feet in the Pacific
ocean between New Zealand and the
Tonga islands. This is only $50 yards
less than six miles. The deepest
previous sounding was made on the
northeast coast of Japan, where there
is profound trough in the sea bot
tom, the depth of which at the point
measured was 1880 feet. Mount
Everest set in this trough would tower
more than 1000 feet above the surface
of the ocean, but if dropped into the

giant of the Himalayes would have

town will consist of people living to.

be neighborly. and purchase all it's

Germs.
One thought in this connection sug-
gests itself. Counties have agricul-
tural fairs. Suppose that at such
gatherings the local merchants and
hotel proprietors would combine to
educate, to enlighten the mail order
patrons in business way; show
them by producing the mail order
stove, sewing machine, or other arti-
Gle that it is no better (often not as
good, no cheaper GOTTEN not as cheap
than the one bought az home; show
them by facts and figures that farm
property is deprecated, and the com.
munity drained through the operation
of the mail order concern, and that
the local merchant can easily dupli-
cate anything ever made or sent by
the mail order concern if he is given
the same deal, the leash. down. pay
ment, and if the question of loyalty
to the community is touched along
with the business argument, so much
the better. Let one county try this;
Others will follow, perhaps this kind
OF education would become universal,
and the business of the country be
once more distributed as it should be.
The mail order business has grown
even those most deeply in
terested giving it thought. Let the
hotel men and others pull
together and prove that local dealers
on cash basis can do better than the
mail order house and partial victory
will have been won at the very
start. The Hotel World.
