Very often simple remedies right at
hand are often forgotten (or unknown) in
cases OF illness or in an emergency. The
following is worth remembering.
HEALING PROPERTIES OF WATER.
There is no remedy of such general applica-
tion and none so easily attainable as water,
and yet nine persons in ten will pass it by in
an emergency, to seek for something Of less
efficacy. There are but few cases Of illness
where cold water should not occupy the high
est place as remedial agent. A strip Of fan
mel or napkin folded lengthwise and dipped
in hot water wrung out and then applied
around the neck Of child who has the Group,
and then covered over with a larger and
| thicker towel, viii usually bring relief in ten
minutes.
towel folded several times, dipped in hot
water, wrung out, and then applied over the
seat of the pain in toothache or neuralgia.
will generally afford prompt relief This
treatment in collie works like magic. We have
known cases that have resisted other treat
ment for hours yield in ten minutes to this,
There is nothing that will so promptly cut
short a congestion Of the lungs, sore throat OF
| rheumatism as hot water when applied
promptly and thoroughly. Pieces of cotton
| dipped in hot water, and kept applied to old
| sores, new cuts and bruises and sprains is the
treatment now generally adopted in hospi-
tails. Sprained ankle has been cured in an
hour by showering it with hot water, poured
from height of three feet. Tepid water acts
promptly as an emetic, and hot water taken
freely before bedtime is the best of catha rites
in case OF constipation. while it has a most
soothing effect on the stomach and bowels
This treatment continued for a few months
with proper attention to diet, will alleviate
any case of dyspepsia.

Dear MutRdts:
am wondering if the most Of you read
the poem each week; because il you do
not you will often miss the text of the
little sermonette. No doubt you notice
in the stanzas some thought not men,
toned, which you could enlarge upon.
There is a large variety in the selection to-
day.
The flrst is a seeming contradiction. II
will be glad to-day"-but how can I when
the clouds hang low, and nature is
depressed? Then we see picture, just as
we have seen it in the very few rains the
month Of June gave us. The trees and
grass seemed to be enjoying the rain.
How it frightened the leaves, and
sweetened the atmosphere with the fra
GRANGE of opening bud and blossom. In
the next stanza the picture faded OF else
the prosaic everyday duties Of life called
for attention, and still the resolve comes
first, to be glad; some would emphasize the
tiresome tasks, then comes the resolve to
forget the things that trouble and depress
and think Of opposite things;, really it
is the old quotation, Remember your
mercies." Then comes an outlook into
the future where there are blessings vet in
store
Would you-could you-have better
text or a more applicable sermonette? No
matter how each one of us is situated, this
is something we can appropriate to our
selves.

will be here-the day when the small boy
can make all the noise he so much enjoys,
and the older ones can act as independ-
entity as they feel. Just one day Of liberty,
it is, to many.
What if the great and eternal truths Of
the Constitution of the United States are
not at the forefront on that day which is
so noisly celebrated, underneath the din
and the uproar are the solid foundations
of love of country, and if the flag was
nssailed, an uprising OF defenders even
greater than that of 81 would be ready to
do and die for the red, white and blue.

ALLEGES MALICIOUS SUIT.
Frank Howard, Mason City. Sue
Prominent Farmer for $500.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Feb. 21.--For malicious
prosecution, Frank Howard, who re-
Gently was in the custody of the Of
f1cers at Allison, and who was later
arrested here for alleged robbery of the
farm house of Simon Pedelty, is bring
ing suit for $500 against John Pedel-
ty. a prominent retired farmer of the
county.
Mr. Pedelty testified against Mr..
Howard, in a former case, tho the tes-
timony did not furnish evidence enough
to convict Howard for larceny. The
case opened today. Howard says he
was born in Muscatine, and at the age
OF eleven years was sent to the Indus
trial school at Eldora by a step-father,
where he remained till 10 years old.
He went from Eldora to Allison, near
where he worked on a farm and came
here, following the same occupation
last summer.
Later he was arrested for stealing q
team of horses, in company with
friend by the name of Shepard, but
was not convicted for the act. He has
been around this part of the country
for some time, and has been connected
with several matters which cannot be
satisfactorily explained, it is alleged.
He claims his good name was injured
by the testimony of Mr.. Pedelty, and
the action was to bring him to account
for something which he says he was
not guilty.

The general plan is to set aside q

planted with seed gathered from the
supplies of seed corn of various farm
ers In the vicinity. There will be GER
tain number of rows planted from each

crop from each mans seed will be
gathered AMI weighed and the figures
will show the difference in crops ac
cording to the kinds Of seed that is
used.
This, how .r,\is only one Of the
many different kinds of experiments
that will be made. The work will in
clude experiments with different vare-
ties and different methods of cultiva.
ton. seed selection, etc, along substan-
TALLY the same lines as at the state
college.
1t is anticipated that efforts will be
made to develop the best seed and de-
termine the needs of the soil for the
greatest production in this county. In
the fall the work will close with q
great picnic at the farm, where farm
era from all parts OF the county will
gather with their families to partici-
pate and discuss the results OF the
work of the station for the year.
At intervals during the year. some
enc from the state college will visit
the farm and direct the work. offering
such suggestions as would be carried
out in similar work at the state farm.
Whatever expenses are entailed in Sc
curing this aid will be borne by the
county and will be paid from the sum
appropriated for the experimental
work. Supervisor Barritt and the
farmers of the county are enthusiastic
over the work.
