Traer, Dec. lit now seems an es-
tablislad fact that Traer is to have
a sewage system in the spring. Two
weeks ago a committee from the town
council was selected and sent to Ma
son City to investigate the system OF
that CITY, All returned with favorable
reports. and there seems to be no doubt
but that the system will be installed
next year. The means of establishing
it, however, have not yet been deter
mined upon There is considerable talk
Of putting the system in by bonding
the town. but IL the city does not elect
to issue sewer bonds, the council still
has the authority to vote the system
in and the cost will be paid by the
property owners whose property ADULTS
the sewer.

GREENE COUNTY PROSPEROUS.
Many Farmers Have Made Fine Liv
ing and Bought Much Land.

Gpecial to Times Republican.
I Jefferson, Dec. IA careful survey
of the conditions Of Greene county
financially, so far as the farmers
prospects are concerned reveals a
very hopeful condition, and notwith-
standing the financial furry of q few
months ago, almost every farmer is
in encouraging circumstances.
j. G. Harker. who owns a large tract
Of land-over 5000 acres---has sold his
corn, which he has kept for the last
thirteen years, in rat-t tight cribs, for
the neat sum of 100000, probably the
largest amount ever paid for corn in
bulk in this county.
Without a doubt, and speaking con-
servat.vely, too, more than hundred
farmers who came to this country a
few years ago, have made a fine living
off of their farms, and In the course
of time, have bought large tracts Of
land. These men, such as William
Gouger, Henrey Denhardt, Warren
Mears, Otto Shain, William McDon-
aid and a great many others, came to
this country in the earlier day with
hardly a cent Of money, and by being
careful, and by working hard. have
saved enough money to make them in
dependent for the rest of their lives.
We have over 900 miles OF graveled
roads. which has cost many hundreds
of dollars and great deal of hard
work. The farmers have brought about
this excellent feature. This fall it is
safe to say that every farmer in
Greene county who had in 100 acres
of corn, has made enough from it to
almost pay for the land 1t is indeed
a wonderful county. and one which
should draw the prospective buyer,
without a shadow of hesitation.

Special to Times Republican,.
Nevada, Dec. 1.-The young man who
follows in the footsteps of his father.
especially when those of the father
run along proper paths. is not likely
to go wrong. This fact was prettily
pictured last week by a couple Of well
known young business men of Ames.
At the last regular meeting of the
Masonic order in that city, w. j. Sem
mons, prominent business man Of
the city, and a leader in Masonic cir
cles, conferred upon his son, Harry
Sermons, the first degree in Masonry.
1t was pretty and unique ceremony
to see the father comforting upon his
favor:ite son the first degree in the
work.
Upon the same night George w.
O'Brien and his son, Floyd B. O'Brien.
stood side by side in the lodge room
Of the Consistory in Des Moines, and
took the final degrees in that, the high
est degree Of Masonry, that can be
conferred in Iowa. This class was
large and from all over the state, but
it is doubtful if ever before a like
ceremony was witnessed-that of ia
Their and son completing their thirty
second degree together.

"The people here do not drink

claimed well-konwn authority. "The
numerous cases of kidney and bladder
diseases and rheumatism are mainly
due to the fact that the drinking of

Let kodol
Digest what you eat. Then you can
Eat what YOU like.

You once could eat anything you
wanted, and your stomach would
digest it.
But now there's some things
which your stomach won't digest.
Your stomach absolutely refuses to
accommodate you when you eat
certain food-so you have been
forced by your stomach to eat food
which you detested, and pass up
those delicacies that you would
have really enjoyed.
There is a way now to eat any
thing you like, IL you will let Ko-
dol digest it.
Kodol will do this, too. It won't
talk back or command, but will go
right ahead with its work and d.
gest all the food you eat. Kodol
will let you eat anything you like
and all you want, and you won't
suffer with that dull feeling, that
fullness, and wish you hadn't eaten
SO much.
You will not have that heartburn.
which Is so annoying at times, II
you will let Kodol digest your food

You don't have to use Kodol long
only for a little while-just long
enough for your stomach to rest

Des Moines, Dec. Another blow
is to be struck at the divorce evil in
the Iowa legislature next January
when bin is introduced which, If it
becomes a law, will require the evil
dence in all divorce cases to be Of
ticially reported and made matter
OF record.
|. Some judges in Polk and other
counties have fagrantly ignored the
fact that society is an Interested party
breaking of that contract by divorce.
These judges have granted divorces
after quiet and private" hearings.
There have been number of cases
where such DEGREES have been set
aside by the appearance of the ac-
cused party with the explanation he
never had service and that the divorce
was granted without cause.
j. Judge Brennan, of the district court
here, recently stated that he believed
there is more perjury IN divorce cases
than in any other class of actions.
Testimony at present is not reported
in divorce actions. 1t is now proposed
to have all testimony reported and
filed. Then in case OF false testimony
there will be some basis for action
against The ,rntruthful for perjury.
The Thirty-second general assembly
took one good step in the divorce evil
by prohibiting re-narriage of divorced
people for one year after the filing of
their decree.
There is also considerable agitation
to amend the law so as to prevent
quick divorces. 1t has not been in
frequent here that divorces have been
granted on the same day the petition
was filed. In this manner people have
been divorced who, had they had time
to cool off after quarrel would prob
ably be living together today. The pro-
posed amendment incorporates the
plan of requiring a petition to be filed
the term of court before the term on
which the decree is granted.

This Hor,e-Made
Cough Cure Is
Getting Fa-
nous.

Probably no recipe has acquired
more general use in the last few
years than the one given below.
FOR making cough syrup at home.
The remedy is inexpensive, easily
made, pleasant to take, and re-
\ markably effective. Use
i GRADUATED Sugar Syrup 1917 OF.
Pinex $685.. .......... ia OF.
Put the Plnex GO cents WORTH
in q pint bottle and fill up with
the Syrup. made as follows: Toa
pint Of Granulated Sugar add "
cup of water, stir and let boil just
moment Take teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours as
required.
A few doses Of this simple mix
ture will usually conquer a stub
born, deep seated cough. The eff
feet in colds, whooping cough,
pains in the chest and similar
troubles is surprisingly prompt.
The Granulated Sugar Syrup is
a very simple but effective Sc
dative. The Pinex is the most
valuable concentrated compound
OF Norway White Pine Extract.
It is rich in guaiacol and other
elements which give the air of
the pine forests it's curative
power in tuberculosis and mem
brane diseases. There are many
pine oil and pine tar prepara-
tons. but the real Pinex itself is
far better in this recipe. All
druggists have it or will gladly
get it for you if requested.
The recipe makes full pint Of
cough syrup-enougil to last
family a long time. It is very
handy thing to have around the
house. If taken when the first
symptoms appear it would wipe
out ntne-tenths Of the trouble
caused by coughs and colds.
