THIS WOMAN THE LIMIT
Wires Rock Island Company to Hold
Train For Funeral, So She Could At
tend Weddins-Ruse Successful
and Crew Still Swearing.

Special to Times-12epublican.
Iowa Falls April 4-Wiring the
Rock Island road to hold it's train for
a funeral party, in order that woman
might attend wedding, was the sue
cesful ruse worked on the officials of
that road, resulting in a train on the
Downs branch being held an hour and
twenty minutes. The woman in the
case was from Clarion and, finding she
could not make the branch train be-
cause of the main line being late, she
wired the Rock Island at Bemond
asking that the north bound passenger
on the Germania line be held for a
funeral party on the Great Western.
With the memory Of the Green
Mountain disaster in mind, the Rock
Island was very accommodating and
held it's train. When the Great West
ern arrived, a lone woman was trans
ferred to the waiting train and, when
asked where the corpse was, replied
that the doctor wouldn't let it come.
She boarded the belated train and
alighted at Forest City in time to at
tend the nuptial event. and it is said
that the train crew are still swearing.

Appendicitis
How To Avoid It and Escape sursi-
cal Operation, Told BY One
Who Knows.
A Simple Method That is Always Eff
ficacious-Trial Package Sent Free.

1t has only been a few years since
it was discovered that a surgical opera
ton would cure appendicitis; in fact,
it has been but a short time since the
disease was discovered and named
Whenever there is an infiamed con-
dition of the appendix, caused by inn
pacted1faeces in the small cavity open-
ing into the intestine, you then have
appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this
inflammation of the bowels, and were
puzzled to know the cause.
Even now, with all the knowledge we
have of the disease, no. medical man
can tell you why we should have an
appendix, why we find it where it is,
or what are its functions, if it has any.
The disease for which the operation
is II cure is usually caused by indiges-
ton, andsin-man cases follows a large
and indigestible meal.
Physicians have until recently rec
commended an operation, but now, as
it is known that it is caused by indi-
gestfun, or dyspepsia, a cure without
an operation is assured
Where the patient is treated with
Stuart,ss Dyspepsia Tablets, the un-
healthy conditions prevailing rapidly
disappear, the stomach and intestines
are placed back in their normal condi-
ton, every organ Of the body operates
as it should, and the Inflammation is
reduced and the operation is avoided
Conscientious physicians, who are
looking after the best interests of their
patients, will, always keep supply Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy in
their office, where in cases of sudden
attacks of indigestion they can relieve
the patient at once.
There is no record of a case OF ap-
-pendicitis where the stomach and bow
els were in a healthy condition and
properly digested the food from meal
to meal.
No better advice can be given to any
one who has attacks of indigestion, or
who has been threatened with Appendix
citis, than to tell him to go to the drug
store. pay so cents and take home a
package of ,Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Whenever heartburn, gas in stomach
or bowels, heart disease or stomach
troubles, sour eructations, acidity or
fermentation are present, act at once.

ROCK ISLAND CORN SPECIAL FIN
lSHEs TRIP THRU
IOWA.
TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT
BEST TEST ON JOURNEY
in Conditions of Seed
! Corn Over That Of Southern Iowa
Failed to MateriaIize-Roek Island
to Run Another Train Over Northern
Division This Week.

Des NHoines, April 4-The special
seed corn train. which has been oper-
ating over the Rock Island during the
past week, finished its trip Saturday
forenoon at Nicola where 200 farmers
attended a lecture delivered by Prof.
NJ l.. Bowman, of Waterloo. secretary
of the Iowa State Corn Growers AS
ISOLATION.
The weeks trip has proved that seed
corn conditions in western Iowa are in
a deplorably bad state of affairs. The
average for the fourteen towns on the
Rock Island visited during the week is
only 15-per cent strong on germjnation
ability. This means that only about
one kernel in seven is pronounced per-
feet by the experts, and will grow into
a good, strong. vigorous ear of corn.
25 Per Cent the Best.
At no one of the fourteen towns at
which the train stopped did the corn
test more than % per cent strong. The
percentage of the tests at the towns
visited during the week Is as follows:
Van Meter, 10; Dexter II: Stuart, s:
Guthrie Center Is; Adair, IL; Audu-
bon 10: Extra. %; Atlantic. s: Lewis.
-; Walnut, IS; Avoca, 10; Oakland.
Is.
While the special was given an en-
thusiastic welcome at every town in
which it stopped, it remained for Extra
and Walnut to carry off the weeks
honors. At both places the town bands
were out and much enthusiasm was
manifest Walnut showed itself very
much alive by having Professor Bow
man, Professor Snyder and their as
sistants parade up the middle of the
street, headed by the band, the side
walks being crowded with onlookers.
Extra has youthful but enthusiastic
booster club, which took charge of the
days exercises and made a decided
success of them.
Corn Shows Up Poor.
1t was thought early in the week that
the tests would show corn in central
Iowa to be in much better condition
than in southwestern Iowa, but as the
days passed the hopes We're not full
filed. Unless the farmers practice
what they have heard preached as to
testing corn and celebrating the planter
so that it will drop only three uniform
sized kernels to each hill, it is feared
