thousand is dangerous if the victim
Knows what to do and does it. Every
long distance swimmer entering a
race expects to get cramps, yet he
doesn't drown and he doesn't stop
swimming, either. He keeps going
until his legs are in knots. Still he
doesn't sink. He plugs along until
there isn't another kick in him; and
even now he doesn't go down. In
stead of that he rolls over on his back
and waits for the boat to pick him up
It may be a minute or it may be an
hour, but until the boat comes the eX-
pert will be floating around like a
ship.
When you catch a cramp in your
arms or legs don't get excited. You
may yell, but keep yourself nnder con-
troll. Don't exert yourself, for it takes
little or no effort to keep atloat. Crush
down the feeling of panic, stretch out
your arm or leg, as the case may be,
until you are straining to the utmost.
Then strain a bit harder and watch

BUILDING BEING TORN DOWN.
Old Time Structure Now in the Hands
OF the Wrcckers.

The old frame structure on Second
avenue east, just east OF the new fire
station, occupied by the c. b. Stein
Feed Mill is being torn down by the
owners of the building, the Hamm
Brewing Company. 1t is not the in
tention of the owners to erect new
building just at present.
The building is one OF the old land
marks of Oskaloosa but Mr.. Stein
does not know exactly what year it
was erected although he has been try
ing to find out for some time. 1t was
standing when the old Burnett
House" was running, the property
now the residence of Dr. Parker. The
mill was first used as barn. 1t was
later remodeled into a carpenter
shop and was then converted into an
agricultural implement shop. Mr.
Stein rented the building about nine
teen years ago and has been running
feed mill in it ever since.
The process OF tearing the building
down is not an easy one on account
of the old style construction, it be-
ing framed out of native lumber.
Mr2lG3ssin willerectfa new building
on South ID streeto1near che switch
leading up to the Burlington depot
and will remove the mill to that
place. The removal of the old struct-
ure viii make great change in the
block east of the new fire station.

FIRST AID TO DROWNING.
Common Sense Is Big Element In
Work Of Resuscitation.

The following is the method of re-
suscitating the apparently drowned,
recently advocated by Professor
Schaefer Of Edinburgh. 1t is stated
that this method has been adopted
by the Royal Humane society of Eng
land, the Royal Life Saving society
and the coast guard service. 1t will
be noted that the patient is kept face
downward throughout the operation.
The individual whom il is desired
to resuscitate is promptly, and with
out moments delay in either loos.

shaking the water out OF the lungs,
turned upon his stomach upon the
shore or other level place, the face be-

nose and mouth are clear OF the
ground. Then tho operator kneels
either by the side of or aStrlde of the
patients hips, facing toward his head
places both Outspread hands upon the
small of the back just over the short
est ribs and pitches his body and
shoulder forward so as to bring the
whole weight heavily upon the body
OF the victim. This downward pres
sure should take about three seconds.
He then swings upward, lifting his
hands off suddenly and quickly The
elasticity OF the ribs and Of the con-
tents OF the abdomen cause the chest
to expand. In three seconds more the
process Is repeated, and so on indef-
nitely, making ten or twelve of these
movements per minute. The position
allows the tongue to fall forward and
any mucus or water which may be
present in the lungs to readily escape
through the mouth. BY simply
swinging backward and forward,
throwing the weight of his body upon
the waist line of the victim, any oper-

THE MILLS OF JUSTICE
Troubles of People Sifted Through
Court Hoppers.

His love for automobiles has caUs-
ed the undoing of Leslie Bray, aged
seventeen years, son of a promi-
nent Grinnell family, Bray came to
Oskaloosa a few days ago and made
arrangements with the Schee garage
to purchase a secondhand automobile
although he had only fifteen cents IN
his pockets. He made known his fam
lily relations and, being well acqGa'ht-
ed with his relatives at Gr'nnel! the
manager allowed him to take tn ma
chine without any payments. Young
Bray then went to a printing Office
and had some cards printed with
Auto Livery" and it was his inten-
ton to conduct a carrying business
in Oskaloosa when the police spoiled
his plans. He was arrested Tuesday
afternoon by Chief of Police GOchee
upon the information of the authori-
ties at Lynnville, Iowa, wnere he IS
wanted for the alleged forgery OF a
small check and the theft of some
money. Constable Swan, of Lynnyille,
came down yesterday to look tor his
man but as he was in the custody OF
the police he went home returning to
the city this morning and taking
charge of the prisoner. they return
ed to Lynnville this morning where he
will answer the charges which have
been filed against him there. The
police believe that young Bray Is an
automobile fiend and is not right
mentally. He talks automobile con
stantly and almost raves on the sub
ject He was having fine time III
Oskaloosa with his Sc :Jnd-hand ma
chine and was running about n"
streets with sign on the back telling
of the auto livery. He also had cards
put up Al ound town in the local aotels.
The boy is genius and understands
the mechanism of any macbins thor
oughIy. The machine which he pur-
chased from the Schee garage was
knocked down when he purchased it
and without any assistance he put It
together and in good running order.
He had been in possession OF the ma
chine several days aid had taken his
landlady. Mrs. I, e. Toibert, who con
ducts boarding house on North e
street and friends out riding. He board
ed at the house and told Mrs. Tolber;
that he had purchased third interest
in the Schee garage. When he failed
to appear for supper Tuesday evening
Mrs. Tolbert called up the Schee gar
age and asked what had happened q
Bray and was informed that he was
in trouble. She has filed charge
against him in the mayors court OF
leaving his board bill of $3.50 unpaid

sl.s2s.
The per capita wealth of the United
States is only $1,S13.
The per capita wealth of Ohio is
only $1.361.
In other words, the people of Iowa
have one and half Zines as much
wealth as the average for the United
States. They are almost fifty per cent
richer than the people of the great
state of Ohio.
The county auditors report for 1908
showed the taxable wealth of Iowa to
be over two billions OF dollars.
The farm lands and buildings of
Iowa are valued at sl,,497 ,554.790.
This is one-eleventh of the total for
the United States.
Iowa owns one-twelfth of the farm
machinery and vehicles of the United
States.
The population of Iowa to the
square mile is 402.
The state is so completely covered
with railroads that only one spot can
be found which is twelve miles from a
line.
The total railway mileage of the
state is 1921
The two billion dollars of taxable
wealth in Iowa in 1908 has come into
existence during the past fifty years.
1t now belongs to the men and women
who had faith in Iowa. There is no
reason why the next fifty years will
not witness greater gain in wealth.
The farmers of Iowa produced a
surplus last year, over and above the
products consumed on the farms, OF
$440,000,000. They could have bought
the output of the gold mines Oh the
world and still had forty million for
Injuries.
The corn crop OF Iowa is worth
more each year than the entire min.
eral product of Mexica.
The poultry crop of Iowa is worth
as much each year as the silver pro-
duct of Colorado's mines.
These are some of the facts that
make Iowa the greatest market for
manufactured goods in the world.

Bohne's Hand Book For Opticians.
251 pages copyrighted in all civil
lied countries and in the United States
1892 is without doubt-as to the quail
ity of glasses-the worlds greatest
authority. This is said in the Hand
Book for Opticians, page 20, as re-
CARDS glass lenses:
"Glass barely good enough for table
ware or window glass is turned into
spectacle lenses because they can
readily be sold to one or the other
party" -
"At present it is impossible to find
the genuine lenses made of real OPP
teal glass"
Prof Mayne Arnold is the only OPP
tician in Iowa who dispenses genuine
pebble lenses to his patrons. Bohne's
Hand Book for Opticians, page 32,
has this to say Of pebbles:
"The genuine article has two strik.
ing advantages over glass which can
not be denied: its brilliancy and its
hardness" - . Again regarding
pebbles, page 81: Its hardness and
clearness surpasses any glass ever
offered to take its place, It's dispers.
ing power is the lowest of all lenses
manufactured for optical purposes.
Pebbles are particularly fitted
to correct cases OF presbyopia told
sight and hypermetropia (far sight
because the eyes subjected to these
deficiencies are rather benefited by
the slightly increased index OF refrac-
ton" Although costing ten times as
much, Prof. Mayne Arnold charges no
more for genuine pebbles faultlessly
fitted than others do for common
glass lenses.
