Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-08-15

If there is little toddler in your
home requiring constant watching and
entertainment try the plan Of build
ing little yard or pen about ten feet
square in some shady, protected place,
filling it with sand and the child's
playthings, where he can play in hap
piness and safety. Dress the young
ster in a cool, sensible way and don't
worry every time he gets his face
dirty. The child will spend great
many happy hours there. and you
mother folks will be the gamers.

1t Is doubtful IL the Iowa plant
wizard" who has succeeded in propa-
eating a strawberry that will produce
fruit throughout the summer season
has very much of a bonanza, after all.
We incline to the view that, while
there is nothing In the berry line that
beats the strawberry for its season,
1t would find hard shedding when 1t
came into direct competition with the
raspberry, blackberry, tomato and
muskmelon. When a fellow has had
four or five weeks run of any fruit or
vegetable he's thankful that there Is
something else coming on which Will
give variety. And this Is true even
of the luscious strawberry.

PROSPECTS POOR.
Hardly Probable That Hotel Marano
cook Will Be Rebuilt This Season,

Will hotel be built at Lake Mariana
cook this season to take tho place of tho
ore burned last October? That is n uucs
town people who feel that if nothing i,
done in the way of replacing the bui!dln..
that answered the purpose of a summer
hotel at this famous resort it will be the
means of turning the thoughts ard mind,
of those people who have been coming to
this locality to "greencr fields and pas-
tures new" and thus Winthrop will be
on the rctrogradc in an industry that
she has fostered for several years.
To be sure. the old Maranacook hotel
was rot of the modern type of archtcc.
ture as summer hotels so. but it an
swered the purpose until something be-
ter could be had. The destruction by fire
last fall has nccessitated The erection of
n more modern structure and from mas,
history of this place it was only for lac.
of accommodations that more people wer,
not accommodated.
For several years this property has
been successfully operated by NJ. s. Ccl
Inns, but last season he sold out his in.
terest to Nutter & Cabot and it is undcr
stood that MI. Nutter is the manager .,
the business at the present time. From
information recently gathered it is learn
ed that he has had plans drawn for /.

for advertising purposes. A partv wh.

drawings it would be first-class in eyer,

ESCAPES FROM JAIL
Awaiting Trial for Seven Months Geo.
GaskiIl Takes French Leave.

Boston, Feb. E-George H. GaskiII. u
prisoner who for seven months has hccn
awaiting trial on charges of obtainip,.
money under false pretcnccs, made Il
mysterious escape from the Charles street
Jail early today. and remained at large
up to a late hour tonight
Gaskill evidently had tho assistance OF
someone outside his cell. for his cell door
WIS unlocked and the door Of a. stor.
room which IS usually locked had been
unlocked also. 1t is thought that tn.
prisoner went from his cell, No. o. or.
the fourth floor to the store room, where
he obtained a ladder and pulley tackles.
He lowered himself from the rnbarred
after having thrown the small ladder to
the yard. Placing the ladder to TIE pris-
on wall he sealed it and successfully
made his escape
Gaskil's escape WAS probably made
about 49, A. NJ. but it remained rndis-
covered for some hours. A gate man
found the ropes and ladder in the prison
yard and spread an alarm. The prison
ers were rounded up. locked in their cells
and counted. but as GaskiI mad left n
dummy in his cot the guards were de-
ceived and it was some time before his
absence was discovered.
The escape of GaskiIl is the second re-
corded at the Jail in the last q years.

1t is because most women suffer from
some arrangement Of their delicate
organism, the discomfort of which is
less trying when they are in motion
than when standing.
IN some states laws compel employers
to provide resting places for their fe-
male employees.
But no amount of law can regulate
the hard tasks of these women. They
must get the strength which this work
demands or run the risk of serious
diseases and the surgeons knife.
Read the experience of Miss Margret
Merkley, 275 Sd Street, Milwaukee,
Wis:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Gradnal loss of strength, nervousness
bearing-lown pains and extreme irritation
compelled me to seek medical advice. The
doctor said had diseased organs and ulcer
alton, and advised an operation if I wanted
to get well. objected TO this and decided
to give Lydia E. Pinliham's Vegetable Com
pound trial. soon found that ell the good
things sud about this great medicine were
true. The liberation soon healed, backache
headache and nervousness disappeared, and
in q short time l was strong, vigorous and
perfectly well. | wish every working girl
who snffers would try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound"
Lydia L. Pinlrham's Vegetable Com
pound is vegetable tonic which invig-
crates and strengthens the entire fe-
male organism, and will produce the
same beneficial results in the cases Of
other sick women as with Miss Merkley.
