The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-08-06
A Famous Newspaper Man.

William E. Curtis, the famous cor
respondent of The Chicago Record
Herald, writes two-column letter for
his paper every day in the year with
out intermission. His powers OF sus-
tanned work are as great marvel as
his faculty'of always making his matter
interesting.
Probably no other newspaper cor
respondent in the country is read SO
regularly. and eagerly by so many thous-
ands Of men and women as Mr.. Curtis.
Mir. Curtis has travelled several times
around the world, visiting every coun-
try under the sun, and writing a larger
number of brilliant and interesting
letters of travel than were ever before
produced by single hand. Many of
these have later been reprinted in book
form. One Of his latest expeditions for
The Record-Herald was through Mexico,
resulting in series of letters as enter
tanning as those he wrote few years
ago from India, Turkey and the Holy
Land. His Forthcoming letters from
Ireland, Russia and Germany will rival
in Importance and interest any of his
previous contributions.
Beginning his career in Chicago as a
reporter IN 1917, Mr.. Curtis rapidly
rose to be managing editor. He re-
signed that position to accept a govern
ment appointment as secretary of the
South American commission. So bril-
liantly did he perform the duties of
this office that James G. Blaine, Secre-
tary of State, placed him at the head Of
the Bureau of American Republics. AT
the worlds fair in Chicago he dis
tinguished himself as the executive
head of the Latin-American department
He is a member of almost every learned
society in Washington and of many in
Europe. 1t is not strange that The
Record Herald prints Mr.. Curtis letter
every day in the first column of the
front page, and that nothing but Cali
fornia earthquake can displace it from
that station of honor.

THE PERFECT WAY.
Scores of Leon Citizens Have
Learned 1t.

If you suffer from backache,
There is only one way to cure it.
The perfect way is to cure the kid
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-08-06

The perfect way is to cure the kid
neys.
A bad back means sick kidneys.
Neglect it, urinary troubles follow.
Doan's Kidney Pills are made for kid
neys only.
James French, living in the northern
part of Mount ayr, Ia, says: 81 can
highly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills,
not so much from my own experience
but more in behalf of my wife who used
them with very beneficial results. She
was troubled off and on for two or three
years with severe attacks of backache
and other symptoms Of kidney CON-
plant. A friend recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills so highly for such
troubles that was induced to get a
box. They helped Mrs. French right
away, relieving the backache and cor
recting all other difficulties. She has
resorted to their use on several occa-
sions since when having similar
troubles and they have never failed to
help her. She has been quite free
free from any kidney trouble now for a
year and gives Doan's Kidney Pills the
credit"

people. Call at l.. P. Van Werden's

Early Childhood.

The renovation of society de-
pends on its moral reform and
this again in Improvement in the
nature of education, but the re-
suits of education depend in
its first commencement and
these are in the hands of the
women.
If the human soul was better
guarded in it's infancy. how many
fewer despairing men and wo-
men we would find. How i'm
portant are first impressions.
If tender young leaf be prick
ed in springtime with fine
needle it will show continually
increasing size till it withers in
the Autumn, how many such
needle pricks does not the childs
soul receive and in them the be-
ginning of many scars, bad hab-
its, faults and vices? For each
one of us the roots of own being
are planted in childhood. 1t de-
pends upon early care and train
ing whether the good or evil
disposition be developed or sup
pressed.
Why is it more than half of
mankind die during the first ten
years of life? Errors in physical
training. Though the errors in
moral training are more than
those of the physical training.
The child is supposed to be in
sensible of it's surroundings,
while all the time impressions
are being received which will de-
termine the points of view from
which the grown man or woman
will look out later on the world.
Each one of us reflects the in
fuence of his surroundings. In
this respect in each one is an
offspring of his family, of his
mother, his nurse, his playfel-
low, etc. For it is in these that
his country and his nation are
first presented to him. The spe-
cial stamp of individuality which
his body and soul will bear in
later life will be traceable to first
impressions.
How much confusion do we see
in trying to master the wealth of
ideas of the present day. One
great cause of this is the mean
ingless playthings heaped to-
gether without any order with
which are set to amuse them
selves. No one could expect a
child of 6 or Z to learn to read or
write without assistance. Then
how can we expect q child up to
that tge to leaan the qualities of
things which surround it in or
der to develop it in it's clear per-
ception? Without proper mater
ial and proper training it will
learn badly what it needs to
know in order to be prepared for
school instructions. Develop
ment of the soul does not depend
merely on the fact of the limbs,
senses and organs being formed.
1t depends also on how they are
The first requisite for mental
growth is to discover the right
method by which children should
take in knowledge. The kinder
garten system which furnishes
symbols which to lead the child
through the labyrinth of life.

MAY use PHEASANTS
Small Protectors Of Crops Noble
Game Birds,

Several Of the progressive farmers
To this section are talking OF intro.
ducing pheasanti on their farms to
assist them In agriculture. 1t Is
claimed by friends OF the birds that
they are Invaluable for their dest rue.
tion OF insects injurious to crops.
The growers Of sugar beets, cabbage
and other vegetables are especially
the victims OF little wormy crawlers
that eat the tender plants and thus
prevent crop.
Pheasants and quails feed heavily
upon these pests and to . great ex.
tent make spraying unnecessary.
One authority says that upward OF
100 wire worms have been taken
from ehe crop Of pheasant. This
was the result Of only one good meal
for one bird. Think what 4 few
dozen birds would do, feeding day
after day In the fields.

Ring-neck pheasants have already
been liberated on the j. s. Flower
ranch south Of this city ana these
will eventually increase enough to
stock this whole section, II proper
protection is afforded them. The
increase could become much more
rapid, however, II even half q dozen
Of the farmers who have groves Of
trees on their places, would turn
loose few pairs Of the birds. w.
F. Kendrick Of Denver has any
amount Of the birds that can be had
for this purpose.
Aside from Its usefulness as pro.
tector Of farm crops the pheasant Is
one OF the finest Of game birds, aud
within . few years It would be plen.
tiful enough IN the state to furnish
excellent sport.
The cost to stock farm with
these noble birds would be only q
few dollars, and 1t really should be
done.
