Wireless Cure
For Rheumatism
Electric Current From ,EIectropodes
Proves An Astonishing Remedy
for Rheumatism and
Other Diseases.
Now Within Reach of Every Sufferer

You hear no click. you feel no
current, yet with increasing power
a gentle healing, soothing, restoring
current is sent into every fibre,
nerve, vessel and organ of the body
by means of remarkable new dis
covery called Electropodes.
Proofs of the results of Electro
podes, in cases of rheumatism es-
and organic diseases, have caused
a transformation in scientific the
cries. Electropodes are different from
any other electric appliance, since they
create no current except while they are
actually in service. The current gener-
ated has been found to have an as
tonishing effect on blood impurities
and the kidneys, thus being quick
remedy for rheumatism, as We'll as
lumbago, back pains, kidney troubles,
stomach and liver complaints, nervous
prostration, weak nerves, headaches
and weak heart.
Electropodes in appearance are pecu-
har metallic insoles so placed in the
heels and arch of the shoes as to be
nnnoticeable to the wearer They never
Pause discomfort. No medicines or tenn
pOTary drug SLlnuIanlS are USED or
needed. Right from the start the sys-
tenn undergoes complete, healthy
change by means of this electropodic
current. So remarkable are the results
of these Electropodes that they are
now being sold under a legal binding
signed contract with each purchaser
10 give quick relief and entire salts
faction. They are sold now at all drug
stores at only 81 a pair and the drug
gist signs a contract that if they are
not absolutely satisfied with the results
of Electropodes at the end of full
thirty days your money will be re-
funded.
Thus every man and woman can
now test the wonders of Electropodes
without risk. If your druggist does not
have Electropodes on hand, we sug-
gest that YOU send 81 TO The Electro
pode Company, Suite So, Holland block
Lima, Ohio, and you will get a pair of
Electropodes by return mail, together
with our signed contract, binding
themselves to satisfy you before thirty
days are over, or positively refund
your money. Say whether for lady or
gentleman. Get a pair of Electropodes
today, and get rid of rheumatism or
other trouble at once.

THE BALnp HAY HOUSE.
LCedar Falls Record.1


"The new comers out in our section
OF Nebraska have adopted a new build
ing material and 1t is proving great
success" said A. C. Gilchrist, of Lake
land, to a Record representative the
other day. 1--WE live in the original
sod house section of Nebraska. The
early settlers were forced to adopt
this material for building purposes
and their wisdom has been vindicated
sod house is ito that country what
log houses were ITO the early settlers
of Iowa and the other western states
where timber abounded. But in the
section Of Nebraska where we live we
do not have any timber and as re-
suit other material must be utilized
A sod house is by no means to be
despised. You would be surprised to
note how comfortable such house is
and by the way lit is not bad locker
either, but the recent arrivals on the
prairies out there, those who have
taken honesteads and are planning tc
live upon them, have conceived THE idea
that they can improve upon the sod
house so they are building their houses
OF baled hay. The wild grass is cut
into bales and cured and then convert
ed into bales of uniform size. The
press is so adjusted as to make the
blocks very compact. After these are
piled upon top OF each other and the
walls are completed, the inside walls
are plastered and thus comfortable
home has been provided with a very
small outlay Of cash. This kind OF

pertmental stage. 1t enables the new
settler to get a home and will afford
him an abiding place until he gets ir
a financial condition that will enable
him to put up more permanent build
ings." Mr.. Gilchrist has a ranch con-
tanning 1000 acres out in that coun-
try. The nearest railway town is

you see any evidences of pain over the
fact that the burdens of taxation were
leaping up on the 100000 families
of the country who must live on an
average wage of $500 a year, while a
few hundred had so many millions a
year that they did not know how to
dispose Of them? I did not. What
interest did congress show in that per-
son, who after all is about the most
important in the country-the woman,
who, as head of these 100000 fami-
lies on small income, must feed and
clothe and train the boys and girls who
are in a few years to do the worlds
work? Had she a spokesman dn con-
gress? Did that body say: You shall
not make it harder for her, you must
make it easier? We are her cham
pion and her children's, and the neces-
stiles of her life must be cheap and
plenty and good in quality, and any
manipulating of duties, which pre-
vents that must be stopped? She is
our ward?
From all that congress as a body
did, or said, you would not have known
chat these 100000 women, caring for
families on these pitifully small in
comes. existed. Congress thought Of
but one person-the manufacturer, who
employed the woman's husband. am
not deny that she is tangled up with
this manufacturer, but the whole bur-
den of disinterested and candid proof
offered showed that all that a lowering
of duties would do in the cases Of
many articles necessary to this woman,
would be to lower their prices to her;
that it would not-could not-prevent
the manufacturer making reasonable
profit, or paying the market price of
labor to her husband.
There was great human cause
easing the burden of our vast laboring
class-knocking at the door of con-
gress, and it was not heeded-if indeed
it was heard. True, there was talk OF
an ultimate consumer kind of eco
nomic manikin introduced for convent
ence in demonstration. But that was
not the flesh and blood person hoped
ITO see introduced. I wanted to see
there the American working woman
from whom high duties have stripped
wooden garments and replaced them
with cold and clammy imitation-whose
bed no longer can afford a wool blanket,
or even one of honest shoddy; whose
cotton goods have grown dearer and
dearer, as have her shoes and dress
goods and hose and cloaks. wanted
congress to look this woman in the
face, examine her budget, see how she
worked and skimped feel what she got
out of her life, what her husband got,
what chances her children had, realize
her Importance to the country,-and
then rise to her aid. felt as if the
time had come for congress to say, For
fifty years / have been favoring your
employer and your husband. Ut is time
to take care of YOU But, so far as /
am able to judge. congress did not
know she existed, or if 1T did, it took
great care not to admit her to its bar

A PAN.AME RiCAN RAILROAD.

The Pan-American railroad system
which had boom exploitation few
years ago, but which failed to take Sc
rious hold upon the minds of the peo-
pie because it looked too much like a
dream, is again receiving attention.
This time it owes to the Panama canal
the place it is being given in public
attention. The notion that it might be
made possible for Americans to go to
the canal opening by rail seems to
strike popular fancy The scheme
is given a leg to stand on which it did
no thaye before.
American capital and push are said
to be behind the great enterprise, and
by next spring trains will be running
to Cabello Blanco, Guatemala. The
government of that republic is CO.
operating with the Americans who are
to eXpedting the completion of the line
south to the Salvadorean boundary.
Surveying parties are at work on the
right of way thru Salvador and Costa
Rica, which also are promoting the
venture in a government way, and the
Mexican minister to Guatemala is au-
thority for the announcement that it
will be completed to the Panama

appear just what has been done toward

the projectors are ambitious to bring
to it's full realization the Pan-American
railroad system.

as visionary Local conditions in the
several countries and regions to be
traversed will determine whether a
north and south line of railroad would
be justified. Possibly in this way a

American railroad connecting the two
continents. But the traffic, too, will
be by links That is, it will be local
On thru traffic, such railroad never
could begin to compete with the water
competition hedging it in on both sides
A Pan-American railroad is one OF
those big things which the American
people like to talk about.

week. On account of the evangelistic
meetings going on, the business places
this week and next are closing at s: 30
This fellow came down town after
supper, got his mail, sauntered around
u few minutes, and as there was Moth
ing doing on the street to speak Of he
headed toward home. His wife had
gone to church when he reached the
house. SO he hiked off up stairs to bed.
About $3.50 the lady came home from
church. She wanted to have little
chat with hubby so concluded to wait
awhile for him; he'd surely be coming
in little bit She sat up until II
o'clock or after and gave 1t up and
went up stairs to bed. There he was
snoring to beat the band. Womanlike
she got mad. The curtain dropped be-
fore the scene was finished, so the
finish could only be guessed at.
