uirp..ratic Era In Medicine,

Richard Cole Newton declares that
even IN the early days of the Hippo
cratic era the art of surgery eschewed
all forms Of superstition and philosoph-
lcal conjecture, attaining practical re-
suits by direct methods. At very
early age the profession Of medicine
was fully recognized in Greece and In
many cases was generously rewarded.
We read of swindlers and charlatans
in those days too. Patent medicines
were also sold. The Hippocratic oath,
which for over twenty centuries has
remained practically unchanged, Is an
evidence Of the sagacity, the sense of
professional honor and responsibility
and the clear thinking of the Greeks.
Hippocrates was born on the island of
Cos in 460 B. G. A large collection of
writings, evidently the work of many
physicians, whose identity is unknown,
has been ascribed to the pen of this
leader. The Greeks were wonderfully
brilliant in medical attachments, for
they studied nature and her methods
and shook themselves free from
monumental load of ignorance and SUI
perstition. The synchronous develop
ment of mind and body was the funda-
mental rule, both of health and edu-
cation.-Medical Record.

V. S. Sears, of Ores ton, was last week
arrested on charge of selling goods
through the country without license.
He was arraigned before Esquire
Shepherd who after hearing the evidence
bound the defendant over to the district
court in the sum of 500 bail. Hugh
Fry, of Creston, represented the defend
ant, while County Attorney G. M. Stan
ley conducted the prosecution. After
this legal procedure another charge was
lodged against Sears for selling con-
trary to the city ordinances. The case
was heard by Mayor Knowles, who
promptly levied fine of $780, from
which the defendant appeals to the
district court. The basis for the pro-
ceedings is recent enactment of the
state legislature, providing that those
who desire to do business as Mr.. Sears
is alleged to have done, shall take out
license for peddling. Corning Union

Men Who wa1ked on All Fonr..

In the kingdom of Poland there was
formerly law according to which any
person found guilty of SANDER was
compelled to walk on all tours through
the streets of the town where he lived
accompanied by the beadle, as a sign
that he was disgraced and unworthy
of the name Of man. At the next pub.
lie festival the delinquent was forced
to appear crawling upon hands and
knees underneath the banqueting ia
BILE and barking like dog. Every
guest was at liberty to give him as
many kicks as he chose, and he who
had been slandered must toward the
end of the banquet throw picked
bone at the culprit, who, picking it up
with his mouth, would leave the room
on all tours.

Tree That Gives Light

Among freaks of nature in trees there
stands conspicuous one known as the
Aslatic star tree 1t is enormously
tall, growing to height of from sixty
feet to eighty feet, while from the
ground up to distance of about forty
feet the trunk is perfectly bare. From
that point there spring a number of
tangled limbs, which shoot out clusters
of long, pointed leaves, and it is these,
grouped together, that emit at night a
clear, phosphorescent light. This gives
the tree spectral appearance and is
very deceiving to travellers, who fire.

THE MASK OF HEALTH.
Few People Are Really as Well as
They Look. Cause and
Remedy.

Many people in Leon, both men and
women, who believe themselves to be in
perfect health, are often in the greatest
danger.
The most common cause of ill health,
is Indigestion, with myriad of symp-
toms such as headache, sleeplessness,
specks before the eyes, pain in the
back and side, distress after eating,
etc.
In the last few years the success of
physicians everywhere with Mi-o-na
stomach tablets has made them known
far and wide as the acknowledged spe-
cifc for the treatment of stomach dis
eases. They strengthen the digestive
organs SO that in few days the stom-
ach is in such shape that it takes care
itself of all the food that is eaten with
out pain or distress.
L. P. Van Werden, gives an absolute
unqualified guarantee that your money
will be refunded unless Mi-o-na cures.
He takes the whole risk and the rem
edy will not cost you penny unless it
cures you.

IOWA EARS OF CORN TO WIN
$1,000 PRIZES.
Substantial Increase in OFFERINGS
For Farmers at the Iowa State
Fair.

The gospel Of good corn goes on it's
way in Iowa. Last year the good corn
men got $500 as reward for their work
at the Iowa State Fair. This year
they will get $1,000 for showing what
Iowa soil is capable of in the production
of the finest corn in the world. The
corn classification in the premium list
was revised and more than doubled in
value in recognition of the excellent
results following exhibits of other years.
The premium list of the Iowa State
Fair and Exposition to be held the last
week in August has just been issued
and it is important that all who are
or may be interested in the corn ex-
hibits secure copy at once from J. G.
Simpson, secretary, Des Moines. 1t is
necessary that the corn for this
years exhibit be of the 1906 crop and
seeding time is best for selecting prize
winning ears.
Aside from the increase in nearly
every department of the fair so that
the total of premiums offered this year
far exceeds anything before. This as
sures splendid line of exhibits. The
Fair management is also engaged in
making improvements and additions to
the facilities for careing for all exhibits
so that Accommodations all round will be
far better than ever before and
exhibitors will have unlimited op-
portunity for display.
Everyone should secure copy of the
handsome booklet which gives the pre-
MUM list, for study of this may show
something of personal interest in re-
gard to exhibits that will lead to visit
to the Fair with prize winners sufficient
to pay the expense of a delightful out
ing and week Of sight seeing.
There can be no doubt that with the
splendid preparations being made the
! Iowa Fair this year will be another rec
ord breaker in quality and in attendance.

Mrs. Jessie Poush and little daugh-
tiers received quite fright last Friday
night. Mr.. Poush was away from home,
doing some carpenter work over in
Eden township, hence there were no
men folks on the place, and some mis-
creant took advantage of the opportun-
ity to frighten Mrs. Poush. Just after
she and the little girls had repaired to
an upstairs bedroom to retire for the
night, sound as if some one were plac-
ing a ladder against the side of the
house was heard and hurried glance
out of the window confirmed the sus-
picion. Frightened beyond measure,
Mrs. Poush and the little girls hastily
donned their dresses and ran over to
the residence of William Frazier, where
they stayed the remainder of the night.
In the morning tracks were clearly Wis
ible in f1ower-bed near the house, and
the ladder had been removed from the
place it had been lying for sometime, as
was made evident by the bleached grass
replica of the ladder on the ground. 1t
is said that the footprints in the flower
bed are those of woman's shoe and
quite little sensational talk is rife.
Mr.. Poush returned home Saturday
morning and was busy the fore part of
this week arranging to give the night
prowler warm reception should the
visit be repeated. Davis City Lariat.

The Bee That Gets The Honey.
BY T. s. COFFIN

You may talk of winter fresides and the joys you
have at home
Or watch your growing gardens and the flowers
along your drive;
But while these things are pleasant 1t is we'll to Just
remember
That the bee that gets the honey doesn't hang
around the hive
You may sit beside shade tree "rest and work
at nothing else,
Smoke your pipe and read the dailies from seven
until five;
But if you make a fortune you must make hay while
Shines,
For the bee that gets the honey doesn't hang
around the hive.
You may loaf on some street corner smoke and chew
and look quite wise,
Spin yarn about what happened when your father
alive;
But that won't pay for beefsteak nor increase your
bank account,
For the bee that gets the honey doesn't hang
around the hive.
If you sit around your dooryard from morning until
night,
And wonder why, like other men, It's not your luck
to thrive
Like the drone you'll soon be oused by busy rush
ing world;
For the bee that gets the honey doesn't hang
around the hive
When rain is pelting in your face and mud is half
I'll confess it isn't pleasant then to make a bust
ness drive;
But thorns must go with and the bitter with
the sweet
So the bee that gets the honey doesn't hang around
the hive.
So then young get busy like the little busy bee
For ii at fortunes door in after years you would

You must gather in the nectar from every hill and
dale,
