MORE STORMS IN FEBRUARY,
Is What Hicks, the st. Louis Wealth
er Prophet Promises Us.

Rev. Irl Hicks, the st. Louis man
who hits the forecasts of the weather
in remarkable manner, dishes us
up nasty bunch of weather for this
month, including severe storms and
floods. He says a regular storm per-
iod, preceded by clear, cold weather
from the End to the 4th, extends
from the 18th to the 9th. From this
time forward, February will bring
many storms and much severe and
snow and sleet storms will mark the
period from the 4th to the 9th, with
billiards. from the northwest and a
change to very cold after the new
moon on the 9th. A seismic period
covers the 9Th to 18th, central on
the 9th.
A reactionary storm period on and
touching the 18th, 18th and 18th,
with moon on the celestial equator
and in perigee on the 18th, promises
thunder and fierce winds southwark.
Be ready for severe cold behind the
storms. Threatening conditions will
be prolonged by the Mercury in
fiuence at this time.
A regular storm period covers the
| 9Th to goth, being central on the
18th. The Mercury disturbance will
be at it's elimination during this
period, with Venus, Earth and Mars
all in force. This is a period when
| the barometer should be watched
and cautiously needed. If it falls
very low generally, tornado storms
will be probable southwark, and
billiards., followed by a great colo
wave northward. Dangerous ice
jams and floods will demand care il
central states, owing to Venus rains
Destructive sleet must be expected a
/ this and the previous period. The
Mars period is far enough progress
ed at this period to indicate the gen
eral tone of storms and weather un
til after the middle of April. We be
lieve that wintry conditions will b.

surprised if West India storms men

der the combined influence of Earth

and weather extremes may be ex

Threatening, unsettled weather will
be most natural all through the las
half Of February, but storms viii
come to a crisis at the regular ant

days of the 23rd, many severe win

A STARTLING
STATEMENT.
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia to be Prc-DispOs-
ing Cause of Consumption.

The post mortem statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due,
at least indirectly, to unchecked
dyspepsia, especially when the victim
was predisposed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain. The weakened, irritable
stomach being unable to digest food,
the body does not receive the requlr-
ed nourishment, and the victim be-
comes thin, weak and haggard. AS
result the body becomes a ertile
field in which the germs Of disease
may lodge and flourish
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
velopment of one of the most in
sidious and fatal diseases known to
mankind.
eradicated if properly treated We
guarantee will completely relieve in
digestion or dyspepsia, or the medi-
cine used during the trial will cost
the user nothing.
This remedy has been named Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no
offer could be more fair, and our
| offer should be proof positive that
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are a de-
pendable remedy.
Inasmuch as the medicine will cost
you nothing if it does not benefit you
we urge you who are suffering with
indigestion or dyspepsia to try Rex
| all Dyspepsia Tablets. A 25 cent box
contains enough medicine for fifteen
days treatment. For chronic cases
we have two larger sizes, SO cents
and $1.00. Remember you can OBJ
tain Rexall Remedies in Leon only

Look Out for Floods.

The severest winter in thirty years
for that is what the old timers say,
presents anything but a hopeful out
look for the roads and highways of
Iowa, SO Prof. T. H. Macdonald, of
Ames, secretary of the Iowa highway
commission, states:
''IoWa's roads this spring will be
the worst in years." said Professor
Macdonald, who was in Des Moines
yesterday enroute to Bedford. "The
volume of snowfall this winter has
been enormous. The soil was well
soaked before the winter really open
ed. The result can be imagined when
the winter ends and the melting Of
the snow begins
81 am fearful that there will be
many floods this spring, too. And
it is certain that many bridges will
be swept away when the melting
SHOWS drain into the creeks and
rivers.
'sThere is not much that can be
doLe in the way of preventing bad
roads this spring. l am hopeful that
within few years Iowa roads will
have improved so that conditions
will not be SO bad The Capital is
doing much to bring about this re
suit and everywhere over Iowa l hear
The Capitals stand for better high
ways commenced upon most favor
ably.
| Supervisors should be on their
guard If the channels of the creeks
and streams can be cleared out there
would be less danger from bridge
washouts. In many portions Of the
state the driftwood and impediments
in the stream channels mean serious
results when spring opens"
A total of 27.S inches of snow has
fallen in Des Moines this winter up
to the present time, which is a great
er amount than that which has fallen
during a similar period for twenty
| four years.
| In 1886 the fall of snow up to
January 6 measured 30.7, or about
81 inches more than that which has
fallen this season.
| The snow on the ground at the
present time measures to a depth Of
nearly twenty-four inches and will
undoubtedly be increased as the
winter progresses.
Old timers declare that this is an
indication of bumper crop for
1910, for the melting of the snow in
the spring will afford an abundance
of moisture for the termination of
seeds.-Des Moines Capital.

ing ecclesiastical affairs for the

More than usual Importance is at
tached to the assembly of this year
becau of the status of the controv
ersy between the Cumberland church

A. representing that faction Of the
Cumberland Church which ANAL
gamated with the Northern Church,
so called, seven years ago. Proper
ty valued at approximately $3.000,-

claiming the right of title. Supreme
Court decisions in several States
show opposite views as to the merits
of the controversy and a course of
procedure will probably be deter.
mined upon in an effort to bring the
entire dispute to a final adjudica
ton.
Dickson was selected as the
meeting place this year because Of
the fact that the church had its in
ception with the gathering If four
