SMALL FIRE
At HOSPITAL.
Bakery Slightly
Damaged

When the Eastern State Hospital I
sounded the fire alarm Monday
morning, there was a great rush 10
the grounds of that institution. and
a sigh of relief went up when 1t was
discovered that II was only the bake
shop, a small brick building, some
what isolated from the dormitories,
that was on FIRE. But the crowd
kept growing and people arrived
long after the danger was past. The
damage was small. amounting to
about fifty dollars at the most.
The fire broke out in the garrett
Of the building. and was probably
caused by a defective fue. The
building is slate covered and this
probably saved il, and no doubt
prevented further destruction, as the
store adjoins. A great volume of
smoke poured out of the burning
building and looked very threaten
ing.
Fire Chief Person. who had ius'
arrived in town as the alarm sound
ed, hasteaed TO the assistance OF The
hospital department with the chemi
cal engine. The chemicals weT,
turned on before the water reached
the fire and soon had 1t under con
uol. Had the capacity OF thI
chemical engine been greater. ther
would have been no necessity o
using any water, which again prove
the efficiency of that apparatu.
The hospital department was slo'
in getting the water on. but when
was started, poured two fine stream
into the building. The create!
damage was from water. and Ii
delay TO the baker caused by II
drenching given the ovens.
Had the building burned, II woul
have been a great inconvenience.
there is where al the bread is bake
for the zoo people in the institution
Both the city and hospital fire q
partments worked well and intel
gently. and demonstrated that u,
were capable Of handling a mut
larger fire when the time comes.

Forty years ago tens Of thousands
of acres Of as good land as the state
of Iowa affords was bought as low as
the government sale price. $6.25 per
acre. Now that same land cannot be
bought for less than $125 per acre,
an advance Of 1000 per cent, and all
the while 1t has produced living for
its owner and a good bank account
besides. And the present farmer of
the land is making good returns on
the investment at the present price.
Can you name any other species OF
property OF general ownership that
can show such results?

Wives have two opinions of their
husbands. Some believe them good.
others believe them bad. When the
wife implicitly believes her husband
good, no man has ever been able to
reach the acme of her belief in him;
and when she positively believes him
bad. no man wants to sink to such
depths. Then there's this difference
between the two women: The one
believing her husband good never
loses opportunity to let 1t be known,
while the other keeps her belief a
profound secret till she reaches the
divorce court.

When the present game law was pass

attached the provision making a C os-

period of five years, and tn was the
prime cause for the referendum CT the

AN iNTOLERABLE ITCHING

"Just about two years ago, some
form OF humor appeared or my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when I
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the end of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in q painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tam
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. | was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, | would
scratch the worst places SO that my
~tingertips would be bloody. / could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then | would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, l now decided to
order a set of the C%uticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
! used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off.
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated. but toward spring. eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn OF the scalp humor. l COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once. SO had very little trouble. On
my scalp used about n half a cake
OF Cuticura Soap and half q box Of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time l took six or seven bottles of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or te-
dious treatment. Since then | have
had no scalp trouble of any kind.
Standing up, with my hair unbound, it
N to my knees and had it not been
for Cuticura l should doubtless be
wholly bald.
This is a voluntary, unsolicited tes-
timonial and l take pleasure in writing
1t, hoping my experience may help
someone else. Miss Lillian Brown,
