That Marshall county short course
will be permanent Institution was as
sured this forenoon when, at 11:45, the

This means that the proposed Central

The first steps to organize were
taken Thursday afternoon, and the re-

would be organized. The plan, embod-
led in the resolutions prepared by the
officers and directors, was presented to
the Joint classes late Thursday after
noon in the animal husbandry class
room. 1t met with instant approval by
the pupils, who We're not slow, when
the opportunity was given, to become
stockholders. The plan was presented
by President c. f. Arney and Secretary
Merritt Greene, Jr. A short discussion
followed, and when a motion of adopt

ton carried by an almost unanimous

Human Blood Higi,,y MagnVsed.

The part Of the Blood that gives
Il red color is the mass of micros-
eopic bodies called red corpuscles.
These also carry oxygen, the great
supporter Of life, to every organ OF
the body.
In anaemia these red eorpuseles
are reduced in nu1nber and the
patient becomes pale and weak.
It is the oxygen they carry that
enables the stomach to digest food.
Reduce the quantity and indigestion
follows.
It is the oxygen that makes it
possible for the Kidneys to throw off
the uric acid constantly forming.
Lacking it the eric acid poisoning
casses rhcumatism.
There is also close and scientific
ally recognized relation between the
number Of red corpuscles in the
blood and the health of the nerves.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills actually
and indisputably increase the num-
Der OF red corpuseles in the blood
and therefore increase its oxygen
carrying capacity. In this way
they core anaemia IN the most direct
way and give color to the checks
and lips, prevent and cure stomach
trouble and rheumatism and have
proved of wonderful value in ner-
vous troubles.
No claim Is made for this remedy
that is not substantiated by hun-
dreds Of well-established cures. 1t

bIes in Marshalltown

The increase Of stomach troubles in
Marshalltown has led Mcbride & Will
to take effective measures to combat
the disease. They have the local
agency for Mi-o-na stomach tablets,
and in order to induce people suffering
with weak stomach or indigestion to
use the remedy, offer to supply 1t with
the distinct understanding that money
will be refunded in every case where
it does not cure.
Mi-o-na is not mere digestive, but
an absolute strengthened and builder
up of the whole digestive tract. If
you suffer with headaches, giddiness.
palpitation, bad taste In the mouth,
nervousness, coated tongue, distress af
ter eating, use Mi-o-na and see how
quickly these symptoms Of weak
stomach will disappear.
The remedy strengthens the muscu
lar walls Of the stomach and increases
the flow Of gastric juices so that nour-
ishment is extracted from the food and
the refuse is expelled without the aid
of purgative or laxative medicines.
Remember that Mcbride & Will give
a guarantee to refund the money I'M
less it cures. They take all the risk,
and there is no danger Of your losing
anything except indigestion when you
buy a 50-cent box Of Mi-o-na.

I'VE have a mistaken notion the
speaker said. that metal attracts

BABE GIVES UP STRUGGLE.
Little Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. n. J. Rod
qers Dies Very Suddenly.


Harry Jasper Rodgers, Jr., the T.
DAYS old son of Mr. and Mrs Harry j..
Rodgers. 1882 North Fourth street.
died very suddenly at $40 this morn
ing. in q CONFUSION. The unequal
struggle for existence proved too much
for the tiny little fellow, and his death
came without any warning whatever.
Thursday the babe passed one or the
best nights since birth. and altho 1t
was realized that there would be a
question for some time as to whether
or not it would survive, it had done
so nicely so far that the parents ana
friends were buoyed up by the hope
that there was perhaps more than
mere chance to save 1t.
The babe was brought into the world
prematurely on the afternoon OF Sun
day, Feb 9, when Mrs. Rodgers was
suddenly stricken with eclampsia and
1t was imperative in order to save her
life, to take the child. The little one
showed no signs Of life at all. but af-
ter hours Of heroic work on the
part of physicians respiration was eff
fected. The babe, which weighed but
four and one-half pounds, has been In
an improvised incubator ever since.
and appeared to be doing nicely up UNI
til within almost the very moment or
its death. Its prematurity alone Is be-
lieved to have been responsible for the
commissions that resulted in its death.
The blow to the young parents, ana
especially to the mother, who had
built such hopes on saving her boy. Is
very great indeed, and every sympathy
has been extended by friends. Mrs.
Rodgers is bearing up we'll under the
terrible grief, and it is not thought
that any i'll results Will ARISE In her
physical condition.
The little body will be laid at rest
in Riverside Saturday morning at $3.50.
There will be no funeral service owing
to Mrs. Radgers illness.

DoDD's LECTURE INTERESTING.
Des Moines Man Talks EntertainingIy
on Electricity

Professor West Dodd. of Des Moines,
gave most interesting lecture on
electricity at the Methodist church
Thursday night in connection with the
short course week entertainments. He
was listened to attentively by an au-
diece of 400 or more.
Mr.. Dodd opened with discussion of
energy and the various forms of its
manifestation. There are nine forms in
which energy manifests itself, and
electricity is one Of them. He then
