The Road to Success.

There are no sign boards on the
road to success. You have to be guild
ed wholly by your instinct, and so
many little sheep paths decoy one,
by their first impression of promise
that a great many more OF us never
arrive than do. Besides, this road, in
it's more advanced parts is so sell
dom travelled that it is grown up with
weeds. To be sure, the course has
been blazed by pioneers but the scars
ON the trees are hard to see and about
the only safe guide is compass.
Let this be your compass-ln all
things deal square; learn to value
your time and the time of others;
work to advantage, swing the hard
pull for trying places; sleep enough
at night when God intended you to
sleep, so that your head will be clear
during the day when it was decreed
that you should think out your own
salvation; speak we'll of your COM
petitors; watch the leaks in your or
SANITATION. Discount your bills, and
remember always that the saving OF
money is not as important as the sal
walton of your own immortal SOUL

A Sure Test.

On pleasant Sunday afternoon an
old German and his youngest son were
seated in the village inn. The father
had partaken literally of the home
brewed beer, and was warning his son
against the evils of intemperance.
Never drink too much, my son. A
gentleman stops when he has enough.
To be drunk is disgrace"
Eyes, father, but how can l tell
when have enough or am drunk?"
The old man pointed with his finger.

the corner? If you should see four men
there you would be drunk

one man in that corner."-July Lippin.

Can a Christian Go Through Bank
ruptcy?

We are having great variety of
questions coming to us of late, which
are not strictly agricultural and yet
of interest to agricultural people. One
correspondent writes:
Can a christian take the benefit of
the bankrupt law? Can he even be-
lieve it to be right to take the benefit
of it, and remain christian"
1t is never right to make an illegiti-
mate use of the bankrupt law, in
other words, to unload on others who
have trusted us obligations which we
are morally and legally bound to pay,
and which can be done at some sacri-
fee. 1t is impossible to frame bank
rupt law of which dishonest men will
not take advantage.
There are, however, many honest
failures, where unforeseen calamities
come upon honest people, and where
it is impossible to pay at the time,
and would continue to be impossible
so long as they are harassed by i'm
Fortunate creditors. Under these cir
cumstances we believe it is perfectly
legitimate for man to take advant-
age of the bankrupt law.
The bankrupt law, however, does
not relieve from the moral obligation,
although it does relieve from the legal
obligation. For instance, man fails
for ten thousand dollars, and fails
honestly. He is able to pay sixty cents
on the dollar, and would be able in
time to pay one hundred cents, pro-
vided he is allowed to manage his own
business without having to put him
self execution proof and having to do
business in some other mans name,
or see every little accumulation that
he makes gobbled up by some impor-
tunate and perhaps not always too
honest creditor BY availing himself
of the bankrupt law he may be able
later on to pay one hundred cents on
the dollar. Taking advantage of the
bankrupt law does not take away the
moral obligation to pay his creditors;
but if an honest man avails himself of
this law, he may be able to pay in
full, and if a christian man he should
do this. If he fails to take advantage
of it, he may be crippled for life, and
what he makes may be gobbled up
about as fast as made by some avar-
icious creditor, who would take even
the bread out of the children's mouths
if the law permitted it.
In short the bankrupt law does not
absolve any man from the moral obi
cation. 1t was intended to aid men
to fulfill their moral obligation by pro-
tecting them from greedy creditors

Health Value Of the Cold Plunge.

Professor Simon Baruch, who intro
duced free municipal baths in New
York city and who is the author of
uses of Water in Modern Medicine"
has exploded another time-honored
theory regarding the bath. He says
that the idea that bathing opens the
pores of the skin is ungrounded. What
it really does is to keep the delicate
muscles under the skin in healthy con-
dition and to- assist the work of the
capillaries, which carry the blood to
the surface of the body. He recon-
mended the warm bath, but thinks
that it should not be enjoyed for more
than 20 minutes, as longer immersion
will soften the skin and make its
muscles flabby. The value of the cold
bath, DR.. Baruch considers, lies in the
cold plunge which brings about .
pleasant reaction.
Professor Baruch points out that
bathing played a large part in the life
of the Romans, and it was considered
a necessity both by the philosophers
and gladiators. The Japanese also have
been extremely fond of the bath, and
the non-bathing Russians have their
substitute in the sweat bath. A Russian
peasant, if he can get one in no other
fashion, will sometimes creep into the
oven after the bread has been baked,
says DR.. Baruch. and is bathed with
water only three times in his life
when he is born, when he is married
and when he is laid in his coffin. Rus
STA, however, paid price for it's aver
sion to water in the tremendous in
crease of cholera, a dirt disease, from
10000 cases in 1906 to 100000 last
year.-Exchange

May be Randall Serpent.

From Algona comes news of a
monster snake having been seen in
the river near that place. Some Of
the snake authorities of this yicin-
ity have ventured the theory that this
is the same snake seen few years
ago near Randall by Martin Hender-
son. The reptile escaped from circus
some time since near Algona and it is
possible he came down to Hamilton
county on a foraging exhibition, having
heard of the fine crops of chickens,
rabbits and other delicacies in this
neck o woods. However that may be,
the snake seen near Randall has never
been satisfactorily disposed of, and un-
til it is either killed or driven from
Iowa soil it is liable to turn up at any
time. A recent A]gona dispatch says
of his snakeship:
Some two or three years ago, cir
Gus which was giving a performance
down in the Call pasture, allowed a
mammoth, vicious boa constructor to
escape from a large cage of reptiles
on exhibition. There had been per
Torrance with the snakes, and through
a little carelessness, the door of the
cage was not properly closed. The
largest boa of the lot, which, by the
way, was an ugly creature, managed
to slip out of the cage and get away
before the loss was discovered by the
showmen. There was no trouble in
following the course of the snake, as
there was plenty of evidence by the
wide trail it made through the grass
and weeds. This eventually led, by
meandering course, down to the
bank of the river, and although two
of the showmen remained here a
couple of weeks, searching all the
time for sight of the unruly reptile,
never again was glimpse of the SER
pent seen until last Wednesday even
ing.
While a couple OF we'll known CIT
liens, a gentleman and his wife, were
fishing down near the Henderson ford,
Just at the close of day, their attention
was attracted by great commotion In
the water at the roots of good-sized
tree not far distant from them. Sud-
denly the head and part of the body
of huge snake appeared out of the
water. 1t wound it's body around the
trunk of the tree and made it's way
upward toward the branches. The
reptile is said to be as large around
as mans leg and not less than fif-
teen feet in length. While climbing
the tree, the snake made lunges at
the trunk as if in anger, and tried
to tear chunks out of the bark.

of the people might tempt them to
take the law into their own hands and
use him very badly. The arrival of
policeman seemed to steady his nerves
for a moment, and then came a wave
of inspiration that might truly be call
ed presence of mind. He seized the
dead woman's wrist and pulling out
his watch, went through the form OF
feeling her pulse. Then he put his
hand over her heart and, turning to

Serve Poor milk; Cafe Owners kabbed

Four restaurants have been serving
milk which is not up to pure food law
standards, according to charges pre-

STERLING.
[Special to The Citizen. ]

STERL:c-T, Pa, June f5.-Of
late we have had several very hot
days and now we are getting the wet
ones. In fact the heavy rain last
night washed out gardens, fields,
roads and did much damage. Many
gardens are nearly ruined and our
roads are in the worst condition
they have been for many years. The
water has not been properly turned
off the roads, not out of the roads,
and consequently about all the dirt
that has recently been put on the
roads is washed off and nothing but
stones is left. 1t is not surprising
that folks are complaining badly of
our high cash road tax considering
the condition our roads are in.

some. But the change came in
great fury on Tuesday when there
were three cases awaiting to be pass
ed upon by these officials.
On Monday Eli Bronson, Chap
mantown, came to town with spirit
ed pair of colts bringing a load of
calves which he disposed of in the
early part of the day to Butcher
Peoppel, receiving the cash for the
same. After unloading his calves it
appeared that he loaded himself with
fire water to such a degree that he
was unable to manage neither horses
nor himself. Finally after making
several conspicuous tours of the town
he landed with team and wagon in
Lehmann's fine vegetable garden at
the Eddy. Then officer Reichard-
son was called to take him in charge
and he was placed in the town lock-
up. On Tuesday morning he was
brought before Chief Burgess Muir
ply and fined ten dollars and costs.
After police court was over Land
lord Lehman presented his bill of
eleven dollars and fifty cents for
damages done to his garden. The
bills were all payed by the defendant
and he went home sober and wis
er man.
Justice of the Peace zimmerman
had very busy day Tuesday as there
were two law suits before him that
day. The first which was called at
L o'clock, was the case of Ephraim
Drake VS.. M. d. Skire for assault
and battery. Drake, who halls from
Skinny Mountain, Pike county, came
into Skier's clothing store in an in
toxicated condition, became abusive
and refused to leave the room where
upon Mr.. Skier caught hold of him
and threw him out and he claimed
that he struck on the door step cut
ting cash in his side and breaking
one rib. Decision of the Justice was
no cause of action.
The next case was that of Aaron
Goble who had sued Mr.. James, the
present owner of the Long Pond
property for service with man and
team, moving household goods from
Hawley to his home near Lakeville
Goble was given a judgment but
James will appeal to the court.
