Good Advice For Cottonwood
PEOPLE,

People in Cottonwood who have con-
stipation, sour stomach or gas on the
stomach, should use simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as compounded in
Adler-i-ka, the new German appendicitis
remedy. A SINGLE DOSE brings re-
lief almost INSTANTLY because this
simple mixture antisepticizes the diges-
tive organs and drains the impurities.

Ice in the River Shows the Tremen.
dous Task Being Done by the
Mississippi Power Company
In the River.
MANY PEOPLE WATCH n
Regardless Of Weather or Seasons
the Building of the Greatest Pow
err Dam in the Wcrid
Progresses Steadily.

The Des Moines rapids never ran
so rapidly as Just now when the first
floating ice fills the river and gives a
remarkable. not to say startling, APP
probation of the magnitude of the
work already accomplished on the big
dam.
Sunday hundreds of people walked
out upon the completed dam as far as
they could TO watch the swift current
between the end of the eastern Golfer
dam and the cofferdam surrounding
the site of the power house on the
Iowa side of the river.
Winter is really here, but the
construction of the great dam goes on
as serenely as if it were June, albeit
it is not so pleasant to work in the
bottom of the river and fifty feet above
the river bed. as It was when the
winds were balmy breezes.
Nothing Stops Work as Per Program.
Before the Mississippi River Power
company began operations, there was
much speculation about how work
could be done during high stages of
water in bad weather and especially
in the winter. The people have seen
the work going on in bad weather the
same as on sunny days: have seen
the stage of the river apparently get
ting little attention; and now they
are beginning to see the construction
progress through the winter as well as
during the summer.
There is always the ACCESSIBILITY OF
keeping the two divisions pretty well
balanced. To complete the dam prop
eT before the power house is wen
completed would be worse than use
less. So. both the Illinois and the
Iowa divisions are kept parallel in
progress of construction as much as
possible. Thus. while it was perfectly
feasible to build dam during the re-
cent rise Of water, it was not neces.
sary to do so, and lot of 1orkman
on the Iowa side were set to building
the magnificent boulevard IN river
which IS the special pride OF Hamilton.
Tremendous Forces Shown.
The tremendous forces being har-
ressed TO turn turbines here can be
best appreciated by the layman by
watching the ice run through the
space of river still left open.
Above the completed dam bridge
protected By the cofferdam, there is
a body of thin ice stationary in the
dead water there. A half mile up the
river, the currents carry the ice
cakes more and more toward the
open chanuel between the end of the
Illinois cofferdam and the Iowa works.
This mass of ice cakes is funnel sh. D.
ed with the point at the site of the
| dam.
( Through the opening in the dam,
/ only fraction as wide as the river
( surface, the ice rushes with q velocity
/ of an express train and massed in
a churning whirl that is magnificent.
! It reminds most of the Niagara river
/ just above the falls But it all goes
through without the least damage to
the construction work.
| Geese Are Alarmed at the Dam.
! Sunday afternoon it was demon.
strated that the dam stops something
iif not the Mississippi river.

CUT CASH IN FOREHEAD
Might Have Lost His Life Had the
Blow Been Delivered on Temple
or in Face-Is In. the
Hospital.

Edward De Young, the grocerman
came near being killed Sunday morn
ing by a vicious horse, when he went
TO the barn at the reeT of his home,
422 Palean street, to feed the animal.
Mr.. De Young had entered the stall
and was about to put feed in the
trough when the horse kicked out
with both hind heels One of the
boots of the horse struck the grocer.
man In the forehead and a deep ugly
wound was made, the skull being
broken and the gaping injury bIed
profnsely
With nerve. De Young after being
assisted to his feet by an empioye OF
the grocery, ran for a doctors office.
Passing his parents home on the way.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arie De Youngs, 52S
Bank street, he was taken into the
house and physician called. Later
the injured man walked to the office
of DR.. F. B. Dorsey and was removed
from there to Graham hospital.
II was necessary that the bandages
cover both Mr.. De Young's eyes, SO
near was the hoof cash to those mem
bers. 1t will be five or six days be-
fore the attending physician can tell
how serious the wound will prove.
Would Have Lost Life
The outward thrust of the horses
hind heels was SO forceful that had
Mr.. De Young been struck an inch to
the left side, his temple would have re-
cieved the blow or if the wound had
been a half inch lower the outcome
might have been more fearful, was the
statement of the doctor
Mr.. De Young was on the operating
table for two and a half hours, two
pieces of bone being removed from his
forehead
It will be a number OF weeks Before
tie injury is entirely healed but it
is fortunate that the happening did
rot have more severe results.

My experience with the Angora
goat for the past five years has
proved that one goat to the acre will
keep the briars, weeds and bushes com
pletely subdued in land that IS in
clined to grow up in blackberry briars
and hickory, oak, red bud, dogwood,
sumac and similar growths, writes Ru.
fus Lester of Wayne county w. Va,
in the Orange Judd Farmer At the
same time, the land will yield as much
pasture for horses, cattle, hogs or
sheep as it would II the goats were not
on 1t. All kinds Of stock seem to do
well in the same pasture with the
goats.
For the goat to be OF best service
the underbrush should be cut out or
fire should run through the woods, SO
as to kill the small timber. The large
timber should be girdled SO as to kill
its and the goats will then keep the
sprouts down until the roots of the
timber die out and blue grass will sod
the land. This will require about
