IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Mt. Vernon Record finds THE
most disgusting thing about the mud
die the republicans are in now is the
fact that the men and papers talking
of boiling the ticket are, as rule, men
who have had fayors at the hands of
the republicans from time immemoria.
Locally" declares the Record, Eve
have the picture of the Hawk-Eye
either boiling or at least back-firing
on the ticket, when the senior editor of
the Hawk-Eye has enjoyed favors at
the hands of the party more than half
the years since since he attained his
majority. In Marion we have the pic
ture of Capt. Rathbun, who was can
dlt1ate for governor, stating that he is
republican, but at the same time us
ing his stiletto on the ticket. While in
Cedar Rapids the Republican, MEM
beers of which firm draw not less than
$4,000 from the government by vir-
tue of the republican party. occupies a
very similar position. To a man up a
tree 1t would appear as if the whole
trouble was that these men fear that
their day rs done-that if the young
men win they will be no able longer to
get their noses in the trough
Col L. B. Raymond Of the Hampton
Recorder. candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor before the recent republican
state convention, takes his defeat very
gracefully and without any touch of
soreness" notes the Webster City
Freeman Tribune. There is consid-
cradle contrast in this respect between
Mr.. Raymond and Mr.. Perkins re-
marks the Freeman-Tribune.
"The real question is. shall we fight.
or shall we join with Cummins," pom
ders the Iowa City Republican.
The Keokuk Gate City says Iowa
standpatters are speaking softly but it
is expected that good many of them
are carrying big sticks!
"It is we'll to stop and consider the
future of the party in Iowa, when you
make threats Of what you will not do,
advises the Manson Journal. "A gem
eral fight on Governor Cummins would
mean a general fight on the whole re-
publican ticket from top to bottom.
Better stay in the party, because this is
not the only election that will be
held"
The Washington Press believes that
the democrats Numbered in choosing
Mr. Porter as their nominee for gov
ernor. "A state is too large field
for him, and he will swamp before he
starts" says the Press. He will
scarcely know that he has been in the
race when it is all over and the votes
are counted. The Waterloo conven-
ton ended not only the campaign for
nominations, but settled the election
as WELL It's all over"
when one banker goes wrong and
his shortcomings are exploited in the
qpress, the people should remember that
there are thousands of others who do
not go wrong" points out the Cedar
Rapids Gazette "There are thousands
Of bankers whose names are never
printed in big black type. They are
the ones that are truly representative
of great business"
''Iowa democrats mustered up a good
deal Of courage when they revived that
old slogan, Tariff for revenue only"
observes the Fairfield Gazette. And
if the campaign is to be fought on that
line they might as we'll save their
campaign funds and their canvass"

VISITING Nurses and Their Work.

In every densely populated city in the
United States there may now be seen
going about at almost any hour Of the
day or night in the worst weather and
in the darkest and most squalid streets
numbers of earnest faced, capable look
ing young women wearing plain dark
ENTHUSIASTICALLY consisting of long,
loose cloaks and small bonnets, with
short veils-and carrying plain black
leather bags. They are almost as IA
miliar figures in the poorer quarters as
the Salvation Army lassies, and they
are accorded an even greater degree Of
respect Streets that are dangerous to
other people are perfectly safe to them.
Doors that are closed to everyone else
are opened quickly to their knock.
Wherever there is sickness or suffering
they are always welcome, and wherever
there is sickness or suffering they are
always found.
These are the visiting nurses-trained
specialists who give the best part Of
their lives to carrying expert care to the
sick poor in their own homes to instruct
ing them In the laws OF hygiene and san
itation. and to roofing out and destroying
the unwholesome conditions which cause
the spread of disease. Although they
have been in existence a compare
lively short time, they have already be-
come an almost indispensable factor in
the hygiene of the large city
Their function is threefold They are
at once nurses, teachers and inspectors.
Into the homes of the poor they bring the
definite knowledge and the trained skill
which the high salaried nurse in private
practice brings into the homes of the
rich; but, as visiting nurses, It is not
enough that they should use their skill
and training for their patients alone
Much Of what they know they must
teach TO the other members Of the family
and without presuming upon the con-
hdence reposed in them as nurses they
must see and report to the authorities
every unwholesome condition that may
become a menace to public health
Their work is both social and personal
their duty is to the community as we'll
as to the individual. Since the beginning
or the tuberculosis crusade they have
done more to check the advance of the
white plague than any other one force.
Since they nave been given a chance to
carry their work into the schools they
have materially reduced the spread Of
contagious disease, while retaining in
the class room hundreds of children
who would otherwise be deprived of
their rights to free education. They have
been OF inestimable service to health
boards in discovering and reporting I'M
sanitary conditions which are hidden from
even the trained eyes Of the regular in
| spector because he has not their facili-
ties for daily observation.
These, however, are new DEVELOPMENTS
In their work Originally they were
nurses and nothing more but as they
\ nursed they saw that there were other
things for them to do and they did them.

Lotteries.

The practice of raising money by lot
teries for public or charitable purposes
was sanctioned by the Vermont legisla-
ture in the early days, as it was in most
Of the other states. Up to about the year
1925 many petitions were granted for
establishing lotteries for the building and
repairing Of roads and bridges. Others
were granted to raise money for such
purposes as the following: To aid in
erecting a brewery, court house, to re-
pair losses by fire, and at least one was
presented asking for the grant Of a lot
terry to build a church
The files Of the early years OF the Bel
lows Falls Intelligencer, established in
1917, contained each week for a number
Of years the advertisements OF these lot
teries, stating the purposes for which the
drawing" was made. The usual place
where lottery tickets were kept for sale
was at the toll house at the bridge, prob
ably because of there being so many
passers by, to whom the glittering possi-
bility would be a temptation.

The Japanese Horse.

The japanese horse is an understood
animal not Weighing over 900 or 1000
pounds, stands under IA hands high, and
IS entirely inadequate to the demands
made upon him. 1t is no uncommon sight
to see a small horse hitched to the ordi-
nary japanese four wheeled dray, pulling
with evident effort a load consisting of
four or five bales Of cotton, each weigh
ing 500 pounds or over. This heavy
strain is evident in the sprung hook
joints and generally stiffened condition
OF comparatively young horses. Stations
and mares are commonly used for
draught purposes, while geldings are
seldom seen. The Japanese dray weighs
about 900 to 1900 pounds, and has small
front wheels measuring about 15 inches
In diameter with rear wheels nearly 40
inches in height The pull Of the load
comes from a height OF seven or eight
inches from the ground, is indirect, and
necessitates greater EFFORT than would be
the case II 1t were made more direct
The government has been engaged for
some years past in the Improvement Of
the quality Of the japanese horse and
has recently imported from England SS
horses, which have been distributed to
the various stud farms. situated in diff
ferent parts OF the empire. Many OF the
best horses purchased for the army have
been distributed to the government farms
for breeding purposes

A serious fire occurred on the island
Saturday morning about 1 o'clock in
which the plant of the Boston Dairy COM
pany was damaged for the second time
to an important extent. 1t was prac-
tically destroyed about two years ago,
and rebuilt larger than before. 1t is the
place where the company that sends
many carloads of milk through here each
week to the Boston markets has an ar
rangement for taking care of surplus
milk and cream. The works here manu-
facture cheese out of any milk that may
be left over, sometimes but little in a
month, and at other times large amounts.
The buildings are located east of the Rut-
land freight office and under the hill
back of the shop of the Bellows Falls
Machine company. 1t Is out of sight from
any street and many citizens know moth
ing of it's existence, and the Importance
of the business carried on.
The fire evidently originated in the
boiler room which is in the rear of the
main building and was well under way
when discovered by a railroad employee
and the alarm rung in from box 30. The
buildings were of light frame construc-
ton and the fire was hard one to fight,
it not being under control until about
daylight, the whole fire department being
at work upon it. The boiler house was
destroyed. and the roofs burned off the
two ice houses. The main building was
badly damaged as well as the ma
chinery and a large stock of cheese
The damage is estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000 and Is supposed to be covered by
insurance.

through fifty years OF bitter defeats never
hauled down its flag to the united Re

followers and gone over to his camp,
horse, foot, and dragons 1t is too late
now to philosophize about it, perhaps, be-
cause the war is on and the Democratic
allies must fight Mr.. Clements battles for
him But when the Waterloo of Septem-
Der takes place. Clement is sent to his po-
litical St. Helena, and his defeated and
disguised legions are taken back into their
own party to line up two years hence for
the national campaign, what will become

draw, and yet with what may be the
fiercest national campaign OF the genera
ton staring them IN the face?

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous for
Brattleboro People to Neglect.

Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous for
Brattleboro People to Neglect.
The freat danger of kidney troubles is
that they get firm hold before the suf-
ferer recognizes them. Health is grad
ually undermined. Backache, headache,
nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumba-
go, urinary troubles, dropsy, diabetes and
bright's disease follow in merciless sue
cession. Don't neglect your kidneys. Cure
the kidneys with the certain and safe
remedy, Doan's Pills, which has cured
people right here in Brattleboro.
Henry t. Akley, of 70 Elliot street,
Brattleboro. VT, says: kidney trouble in
my case was brought on, think, by an
operation that I underwent three years
ago. At first there was a grinding pain
across the loins and this became so bad
that could hardly stoop. Severe head
aches set in and at times there would be
a blurring before my eyes so that 1 could
hardly see. A friend advised me to try
Doans Kidney Pills and I got a box at
F. H. Holden's drug store. I received
so much benefit from this that I got a
second box and kept on taking them.
They did their work well for the backache
soon disappeared and have no more dis
tressing headaches and no blurring of the
eyesight. My health was benefited in
every way. I am always glad to recon-
mend Doan's Pills when occasion arises. "
