DNoracek was married in 1895 and

left her and the babies at Ames and
went to Fort Dodge. where he secured
employment in a blacksmith shop. He

desertion law went into effect on July
4, 1907, and within a few days he was
placed under arrest and bound over
to await an investigation by the grand
jury. He laid in Jail until the August
term. when he was indicted, but the
trial judge r. NJ Wright of Fort
Dodge. held the law as indefinite in
his terms and directed verdict for
the defendant. One of the causes was
the fact that the family lived in Story
county and the Indictment was brought
in the same county. while the defend
ant had been a resident of Webster
county at the time that the law went
into effect Upon this ground he held
that the action was out of venue.

Man Who Has Experimental
Declares Work Could Be
Done in Three Hours
RANSOM MAKES SUGGESTION
Road Superintendent at Owasa Adopts
Novel But Simple Scheme and Says
1t Could Be Expended to Include
Every Road in the state-Plan is
Explained.
Special to Times-Republican.

Owasa, Dec. 29-That every road in
the state of Iowa can be dragged in
three hours is the claim of P. Ransom,
road superintendent of Jackson town
ship, Hardin county. Mr. Ransom has
conducted a time experiment in his
township, and says that what can be
done there can be accomplished for the
entire state. He has issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding the plan
proposed:
ITO those who have never given this
matter much thought it may seem i'm
possible to drag the roads of great
state in three hours, but it can be done
and is being demonstrated in Jackson
township, Hardin county, Iowa. If one
township can drag its roads in three
hours another can, and If two town
ships can county can, and If county
can the state of Iowa can. My method
is to employ farmers turnout the town
ship to drag the roads and am partic-
ular to employ those who are most in
terested in good roads. Then put them
out on stations of equal distance as
near as can be and direct the stations
so that one drags to meet another all
over the township. Each one has a tel
ephone, and when the roads are in
condition to need dragging l call them
up and start them all out at about the
same time, and in three hours the roads
of the township are dragged complete.
Each one receives from the township
80 cents per mile for dragging. I have
followed this system for three years
and never failed but once or twice to
drag the roads of the township after
every storm. l invite road superintend-
ents who have not systematized their
road dragging to try this system and
l believe they will find the result very
satisfactory.
This article is written in the inter-
est of good roads. Let every fellow
who reads this take up his pen and
write an item to his home newspaper
in the interest of road dragging. Insist
that your roads be kept dragged
smooth. If your road superintendent is
Indifferent about it criticize him Sc
verely. Tell him in black and white
all the things you thought of when rid
ing over some of his roads that shook
your false teeth out"

NO NEED OF
TAKING COLD
COLDS CAN BE PREVENTED.
SOME FACTS REGARDING
THE DISEASE.
Cold Water, Intelligently Used.
Proper Diet, Exercise and
Common Sense Are the
Preventives.

Habitual colds are due to an i'll kept skin
on the outside and dyspeptic mucous mem
brane on the inside, the result of indigestion,
coupled with carelessness. Cold water,
proper food and common sense are the fOun-
dations upon which preventive must rest.
A cold sponge bath, one to three minutes
long before breakfast, With brisk dry rub,
is excellent-usualiy all that is necessary to
skin reactive to sudden changes of tempera-
ture.
For those unaccustomed to cold water,
tolerance can be gained in three weeks time
by the use Of water at any comfortable tenn
perature, making it one degree colder each
day, until it can be employed without dread
as cold as it will run. Sea salt may be added
to the water for its stimulating effect.
Cold water intelligently used does not
steal vitality, but fosters it. 1t stimulates
the nerves that control the expansion and
contraction of the blood vessels and regu-
lates the cutaneous circulation.
One should "keep moving" when wet or
chilly and not stand on q street corner or
elsewhere without taking deep breath.
The lungs used in this way act as pump to
drive the blood along. This practice, with
the others named, will reduce to shadow
the liability of taking cold every little while.
If you should contract cold, get rid of it
as quickly as possible, for every cold weak
ems the lungs, lowers the vitality, and paves
the way for more serious diseases This 10
best accomplished by the use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, preparation that
can always be depended upon, and that not
only cures the cold but counteracts any ten.

conclusion. The Methodist Episcopal
denomination secured the services of
Rev. Purcell to conduct the meetings,
and while he was an evangelist of some
repute he preached doctrine which
is not supported by that denomination,
and Presiding Elder Maynard was
called to Crystal Lake, and he imme-
diately wound up the meetings. The
affair created quite little stir.
