All new tlowerpots require to be
soaked in water and allowed to dry
thoroughly before being used. The soil
does not hang well to the sides of gar
den pots unless so treated. Dirty pots
are open to the same objection. Let
any one try to put plant with fresh
soil into pot which has been used
before and left unwashed, and he will
find in n few days, when the soil be-
gins to dry, that it leaves space and
does not adhere as it should to the
sides Of it. No plant can possibly
flourish under such circumstances. The
roots OF a plant draw to the sides of a
pot naturally in search of moisture,
and growth Of course is checked If a
current of air is allowed to pass be-
tween them and the sides. Some plants
exhibit this tendency In such n remark
able degree that few roots are to be
seen, except network on the outside
of the soil next the pot.

This is a Good Law.


Senator Smiths bill for Furnishing
wife desertion has become law. 1t
covers desertion of the family as
well. The penalty, on conviction,
is year in the pen or six months
in a county Jail. 1t gives wife the
privilege Of testifying against her
husband, but she cannot be COM
PEELED to testify. A party arrested
under this law and charged with
desertlon may escape punishment
by giving thousand dollar bond
for future good behavior. A failure
to. provide support to a wife or
children in needy circumstances is
to be prima facie evidence of de-
sertlon or willful eglect-Indepen-

Julius G. Seeley was born Sept.
q, 1921, in Huron county, Ohio,
where he lived until he was four
years old, when he with his parents
moved near the present site of
Springfield, Illinois. In the year
1856, he came to Iowa, locating
near Colesburg, in Delaware coun-
ty. He resided here until 1877,
when he moved to Maynard, where
he spent the remainder of his life
until little over year ago, since
which time he has made his home
with his son, Jay, at Hazeiton,
where he dice, March 8, aged So
years. In October, 1856, he was
married to Mrs. Caroline Williams,
of Delaware county. To this union
was born one son, who resides at
Maynard. In March 1871, he was
married to Miss Mary Ann REQ, at
Greeley, Delaware county; to this
union were born two children, An
ma @. Seeley, now living in Del
vein, and j. G. of Hazelton. He
belonged to Co. B Is Iowa Infantry.
He was under Sherman and with
him on his march to the sea. Dur
ing his residence at Colesburg he
was member of the Christian
church. Few men are as we'll post
ed in the bible as he was. A good
citizen, loyal friend. and a loving
father has gone to his reward. On
January 25th he received fall,

resulted, after an illness of seven
weeks. During this time he was j.,

One of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to anybody
is the measure of its digestibility. Half
Il pound of cheese is vastly more nour-
ishmg rs regards its mere composition
than half u pound of beef, but while
the beef will be easily digested and
thus be of vast service to us the cheese
is put out of court altogether for ordi-
nary folks by reason of its indigesti-
billty. We should bear this rule in
mind when we hear people comparing
one food with another in respect to
their chemical value. = London Hospi-

REAL RHEUMATISM.
The Causes and Symptoms of Uric
Acid In the Blood

The Causes and Symptoms of Uric
Acid In the Blood.
Rheumatism, SO called, is probably
as common as any ailment one ever
hears of, aud yet If one We're to ana
lyze carefully the average case of rheu-
matism the result would doubtless
show that the disease was something
very different indeed from the real
thing. Almost everybody when suffer.
ing from slight stiffness of a joint or
muscular soreness promptly makes a
diagnosis of rheumatism when in real
ity the case is nothing more than what
in technical language is known as IL
thaemia, sometimes called American
govt
The real disease of rheumatism is the
result of an accumulation in the blood
of imperfectly converted food, prlnci.
pally uric acid. This accumulation il
due to intemperance in eating and
drinking and insufficient active exer.
else.
Heredity in some cases seems to pla,
an important part. In the great major.
ity the symptoms follow regular or
der, beginning with a feeling of full
ness and discomfort after meals, indi.
gestion, nausea and an unpleasant
taste in the mouth, followed by throb-
bling headache, nervous irritability and
vertigo, muscular pains which may be
confined to one or more muscles or skip
about them one to another. Lastly, and
in most cases the most troublesome OF
all symptoms, is depression of spirits,
the patient imagining that lie has all
sorts of ailments. Persons suffering
from mental disorder as result Of this
disease have been known to commit
suicide. Fortunately these cases are
not common, but it should be remem.
bered that they are among the POSSIBLE
ities.-A Doctor in New York World.
