and efforts of it's enemies are confined
TO keeping it there, indefinitely.
Should it pass it would practically
kill the game in the three Iowa cities
of the Three-Eye circuit. Davenport,
Dubuque and Cedar Rapids might re
main in the league this season, but it
would be necessary to adopt u new
schedule providing for Sunday games
in Illinois.
The Central association would beavir-
tually put out of the running, and the
Western league, which has two cities
in Iowa, would be in much the same
position as the Three-Eye. though bet
ter prepared to weather the blast.
Nj. II. Sexton of this city, in his
capacity as president of the ThreeEye
| and head of the National Association
tof Minor leagues, is active in the fight
against the bill. He has a personal
representative on the ground. He has
also wired all the professional clubs
in Iowa with a view of getting their
cooperation.

Scarlet Fever.

a mild case of scarlet fever is the
most dangerous type Of the disease
that local boards and health officers
have to contend with. 1t is generally
through carelessness in the manage
ment of these that while communi-
ties become infected. An apparently
simple Ease Of so-called scarlet rash
or scarletina unrestricted by quaran-
tine, may be the means of injecting
others with the most malignant form
of scarlet fever, hence the necessity
for strict precautions in every case
Notwithstanding its seeming mild
ness.
The various conditions frequently
following scarlet fever are of such a
serious and permanent character as
to demand the very strictest proven
tative measures. Even the mildest
forms of the disease may, and often
do result in some permanent afh1c-
ton, perhaps unsupported at the tina
Of apparent recovery. The physician
or parent who fails or neglects to re-
port all such cases, no matter how
slight the attack, and the local Off
Gals who are careless in enforcing
the prescribed regulations pertaining
to quarantine and disinfection, are
deserving of the condemnation Of the
community, and should be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law.-Iowa

Temperance Notes.

The man who "hits one" usually
strikes those most dear to him.
Rum has made the head of a man
meet all the requirements insisted
upon by the War Department for a
dirigible balloon.
The physicians of Hancock Coun-
ty, Ohio. wishing to assist in the
maintaining of the prohibition law
there, the county medical association
has determined to issue no prescrlp-
tons for whisky except at the bedside
of patients.
Poets have sung in praise of Booze
and Booze has taken toll OF the
poets.
The country is awakening to the
fact that reckless expenditure OF
money upon strong drink is having
in the affairs Of the nation the same
impoverishing effect which is so IA
miliar in connection with individual
fortunes.

It is a lamentable display, but the un-

Gathering

When using a chain stitcn machine
gathering may be done without an
attachment If the thread Is wrapped
twice around the tension. This is a
very good thing to know, and, while
it will not make any deep gathering
it will be quite effective for any or.

With a double-thrcaded machine
the under bobbin may be threaded
with a cotton ten numbers coarser,
Loosen the tension until 1t Is very
slack and then place your garment
under the needle and proceed. When

may draw up the material to the re.

under thread. 1t will not be neces-
sary to alter the stitch If it is ordinar.

When Using Green Soap.

One Of the best cleansers for the
skin and excellent for pimples and
blackheads is green soap. This has
been long recognized as a healing
agency and is less well known than
it should be.
Occasionally women complain that
the soap makes them worse, the rea.
son is that they use it too vigorously.
Delicate, sensitive skins should never
have green soap put on 1t full
strength. 1t should be diluted with
hot water and not used every day:
Experiment until the soap lather
does not make the skin feel drawn.

One Of Gods, Noblemen.

There is now in this county a
man who has been for more than
fifty years q missionary on a remote
sland in the equatorial Pacific. His
name is Hiram Bingham, and when
be went, in 1856, to the Gilbert ISL
ands he was the only white man
there. The mail came once a year In
he Morning Star, and the first mail
was stolen by the natives, who
thought it was food Of a new, strange
tort.
Bingham went to work to construct
grammar and create a written lam
yuage for the islanders. Then, when
ne was fifty years old, he studied He
Drew and translated the Bible into
Gilbertese. Ten years ago he com-
pleted a dictionary of the language
and loaned the, manuscript to q
friend, who succeeded in losing it,
much as the manuscript Of Carlyle's
French Revolution" was destroyed
through a servants carelessness.
With exemplary patience. he set to
work again, and has just recompleted
the book which links his insulated
people with the rest OF the human
race.
Such a career, like that Of Judsen
Or Patton or Schereschewsky or Hep
burn or a hundred other men, unat-a
tended by the drums and tramp,
lings" of triumphant conquest, may
not seem so great or so glorious as.
the career of an Iron Duke or q Lit
tie Corporal. But in the chronicles
Of peace that hath her victories no
less than war; indelibly Inscribed are
the names of these men who effaced
themselves and lived for others. For.
they were men Of the sort of whom 1t
Is written, They that turn many to
Righteousness shall shine as the stars
forever and ever!"-Philadelphia

Care and Quiet in Sick Rooms.

When coal is needed to replenish
the crate or stove in the room OF q
sick person it should be placed In
paper bags and a bag laid gently on
top of the fire. This will prevent any
noise and save the patients nerves.
If a poker must be used 1t is well
to have q stick of wood for that pur'
pose, as it makes so much less racket.
OF course, creaking shoes, silk pet
ticoats and starched clothes that rus
tie are tabooed.
Medicine should not be left in sight
of the invalid, and food must never
be left around the room. IT a tray
Is supposed to be accessible for bis
cults and a few simple things like
that 1t should be placed In an ada
cent room or on a table outside the
sick room door.
