POINT DU GARD.
An Ancient Concrete Bridge In the
South of France.

An Ancient Concrete Bridge In the
South of France.
In the south of France is concrete
arch bridge known as the POnt du
Gard. which was erected In the year
Sc b. C.. The concrete in this was not
composed Of crushed stone or other
small aggregate Of the variety now en-
ployed in concrete bridge work, but
was of the old style, consisting OF al
ternate layers Of large and small
stones. gravel, etc. and of cementi-
tious materials. Vitruvius describes
the materials and methods in use be-
fore the Christian era. and other
writers like Aberti in 1915 and Pol
ladio in 1870 accurately describe the
method which the ancients" (as they
call theml employed "of using boards
laid on edge and filling the space be-
tween with cement ard all sorts OF
small and large stones mingled to-
gether."
1t is very improbable that the Pont
du Gard would have withstood the
rigors of climate Of the northern
United States. but its actual state of
preservation. as well as that of many
other specimens of ancient concrete
work, proves that if modern work is
honestly executed it will many times
outlaSt any reasonable bond period, so
that Il very small yearly sinking fund
per cent is all that is required for
properly designed and erected concrete
work k-Cement Age.

Poulticed With Mud.

A noted explorer recently returned
from central Africa tells Of unique
method employed by his companions
and himself to alleviate the dreadful
agony Of prolonged thirst. In parts OF
the dark continent there are great
stretches OF country where no water
fit to drink is to be found. although
there are here and there pools Of thick
stagnant mud. In such country the
party wandered for five days without
water and might have perished but fol-
an idea that occurred to their leader
Following his advice and example
they collected the stagnant mud wher
ever it was to be found and made Il
into long poultices. which they fas
tened round their bodies next the skin
This simple process they found to give
great relief-London Answers.

Insurance From italy.

Insurance came from medieval Italy
1t is believed to date from the six
teenth century, and at that time il
was known in Florence. The Romans
did not know insurance. The nearest
they came to it was the practice of Il
company supplying the army to re-
quire guarantee from the state
against the loss of ships. But this
was soon abandoned. because damages
had been collected for sunllen ships
too worthless to float.

A Bright Missouri Girl.

A Missouri farm girl, Mabel Stur-
tevant of Brookfield, has been
awarded the annual Baum prize of
$4,000 as the best student of the
universities of America and Europe,
one of the highest educational hon
ors possible. Under the terms of
the benefication the money must be
spent in travelling in countries where
progressive educational methods pre-
vail and Miss Sturtevant will short
ly leave on her trip. Her success is
another instance of the value of de-
termination and pluck. Ten years
ago, Miss Sturtevant was a farm
girl of sixteen. Her mother raised
vegetables to send the daughter to
the public schools, and later the two
moved to a college town together,
the mother renting large house
and letting rooms to students to pay
the remainder of the ambitious
girls expenses. At times the fight
was hard, but the American farm
girl and the American farm mother
have a way of winning out. Miss
Sturtevant deserves her success and
her mother has a right to be proud
even to the point of boasting.-Iowa

Large Audience is Delighted.

Judged by every standard the pro-
duction of THE Lion and the Mouse"
at the Grand on Saturday evening
was one of the very finest theatrical
attractions ever seen in DEBORAH
1t had been literally advertised and
as result the house was well filled
with an expectant audience. The
play is an intense story depicting the
present day avarice for money and
power and its attendant results, and
the various roles were taken by
thoroughly capable actors, whose in
depreciation of the same was in each
instance of real merit. The play was
beautifully staged, the costumes,
electrical effects and scenery in every
case being appropriate, and the per-
Torrance in it's entirety as nearly
perfect as it is possible, it seems, to
make it.
Another special feature of the
evening worthy of note was the
music of the orchestra. 1t never
played better or was more evenly
balanced, and the singing of Caruso
through the Victor phOnograph fur
nished by Mr.. M. j. Soukup, with ac-
compartment by the orchestra was
splendid, and brought out the ap-
plause it deserved.

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN.
Not Blood Disease-Cured by Oil
of Wintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be blood disease and was
erronesously treated as such, but
now the best authorities agree that
eczema is only a skin disease and
must be cured through the skin.
The eminent skin specialist, DR.. D..
D. Dennis, first discovered the
eczema germ and his discovery was
quickly taken up both in Germany
and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at
the same time heal the skin, DR..
Dennis compounded oil of winter
green, thymol, glycerine, etc. The
remedy is liquid, not mere salve,
hence it sinks right into the pores of
the skin. Washing with this oil of
wintergreen compound seems to
take the itch away at once; soon the
scales drop away and the disease
disappears. The prescription has
now been used so long as to have
proven it's absolute merit and we do
not hesitate to express our con-
fidence in d. d. d. Prescription as
used with d. d. d. Soap. For sale

NEW SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
Prof. j. c. Richter, Nj. A., Well
Known Iowa Educator, Elected
superintendent of DEBORAH
Schools.

At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the city schools held on
Saturday morning the matter of the
selection of Superintendent to sue
coed Supt. H. C. Johnson, who goes
to Aberdeen, S. D., next year, was
taken up, and after carefully can
vassing the various applications,
Supt. j. c. Richter, a we'll known
Iowa educator, was elected to the
position, his salary being placed at
$1,000 per year.
Mr.. Richter is a man thirty-two
years of age. He graduated from
Union Christian College of Defiance,
Ohio, in 1898, receiving the degree
of B. A. In 1905, after having spent
one year at the Iowa State Normal
at Cedar Falls, he received from that
institution the degree of M. Di.
master of Didactics).
He was also whole summer at
Cedar Falls since adding to and per-
fecting his knowledge of educational
matters. This last year he has spent
at the Iowa State University, where
he has specialized in Psychology and
Education, holding a scholarship in
the former, and will receive his M.
A. degree in June of this year.
Mr.. Richter has had ten years of
successful experience in actual school
work and the Board has received
most flattering recommendations
from prominent Iowa educators as
well as from the most prominent
citizens in places where Mr.. Richter
has formerly been engaged, both as
to Mr. Richter's scholastic attain
ments, his success as a practical edu-
Gator, and his splendid worth as a
man and a citizen.
There is, therefore, every reason
to believe that our schools under
Mr. Richter's management will not
only retain their present high state
of efficiency, but will advance and
fully meet all the requirements that,
under constantly changing and ad-
vancing conditions, are made of a
first class school in first class city.
