BREAK WORLDS RECORD.
An Iowa Man Husks 2s5 Bushels of
Corn in 10 Hours.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Nov 27.--
S. t, Campbell of Murray, Neb.. has
healthier regard of the ability OF
Iowa corn huskers to make good their
boasts, as he is out $500 in backing
his Judgment against the claims of
Bert Van Houton, of near Thurman,
Iowa. Two thousand people saw Van
Houton husk and crib 235 bushels of
corn in ten hours. Besides the $1,000
which Van Houton and Campbell
wagered on the result there were
scores of smaller bets and sew.
eral thousand dollars changed hand
Van Houton during the first nine
hours husked twenty-five bushels al
hour. He finished with 235 bushels to
his credit in fine physical condition.
So far as known and believed the rec
ord stands un5eaten in the world.

VACCINATION FOR TYPHOID.

The value of vaccination with anti
| typhoid serum as a preventive meas
ure against that disease has just been
signally demonstrated in this city
among certain of the water power en-
ployes. These had become infected
with the germs of typhoid and were
being taken down at the rate of one
every other day. When the number
of cases had reached fourteen DR.. O.
t. Clark, the company's physician,
proceeded to vaccinate 100 of the ex-
posed workmen with the new serum,
with the effect of checking the spread
of the disease at once. Not
single new case developed
among them, nor were there
any untoward results in any of those
thus treated. Beyond little sore
ness at the point of entrance of the
serum and slight reactionary fever
there was nothing indicative of the
immunizing process
The method of vaccinating is diff
ferent from that used in inoculating
for small pox. Instead of being APP
piled to an abrasion of the skin, the
virus is injected hypodermatically in
the same manner as morphine, strych-
nine and other alkaloids are injected.
Reaction occurs promptly and there
after for some years the patient is
immune from typhoid fever. The
treatment is no longer experimental.
1t was fully and fairly tried on the
thousands of regular army soldiers
encamped along the Rio Grande in
Texas during the past summer and
proved highly efficacious. The sub
lection of the water power employees
here to the treatment is believed to
be the first instance of its use ON a
large scale in civil life. However
this may be, it has SO conclusively
demonstrated it's great value as a
prophylactic that there is ample war
rant for its general USE What it has
accomplished here has attracted the
attention of the scientific world and
will be the subject of interesting and
Informing articles in leading medical
qualifications in the near future
Scientists of note have already visited
Keokuk for the purpose of investigat-
| ing the treatment and its results and
more are coming. In the history OF
successful immunizing against a
greatly-dreaded disease Keokuk Is GER
/ tain to occupy a prominent place

LAFE YouNe,s OPTIMISM.

The Monticello Express thinks that
Mr.. LATE Young's speeches have been
taking - we'll because they have been
filled with optimism and he has used
humor to riddle the complainings and
whiring OF the pessimists. In other
words, the people, long depressed by
the long faces of calamity politicians
accepted Mr. Young as the interpreter
of the reaction. The Cedar Rapids
Republican is inclined to believe
/ there is something in the Monticello
Interpretation It says:
4 After the gloom the people are al.
ways ready to welcome the sunlight,
4 if some one with strength enough to
push away the clouds appears. But
whatever effect Mr. Young may have
on his own aspirations, and we are
not concerned about them now, we
must admit that he has been rendering
| the state n good service.
The state needed some one with a
sense of humor TO puncture the dole.

Americans eat forty per cent less
meat per capita now than they did
sixty years ago. This may be partly
due to the change of occupation. Six
ty years ago half the population lived
outdoors on farms, now only thirty
five per cent do SO. outdoor work
calls for more meat than sedentary
work However, even farmers are
now leading sedentary lives with their

Moisture In Roads.

Stone is perhaps the ideal road ma
terial. but it is usually out OF the ques-
ton. Earth roads can be made.
The keynote to success in making
them is controlling the moisture When
there is too much OF it the earth be-
comes mud; when too little the result
is dust There is happy medium
between these two extremes, when
the soil packs hard. In most soils. ex-
ceptlng clayey ones. it is not difficult
to maintain this favorable moisture
content. Keep the center of the road
higher. so that water cannot remain
there. When it does the result Is ruts
in wet weather and in dry weather
the sides of the road are ground up
into dust.
Drainage bitches should be provided
along the road. Ii water stands there
it will soak under the roadbed and
soften it. Another important factor
is to keep a space Of fifteen to eight
cen feet free from grass and weeds.
which. if allowed to grow on the road,
take up so much moisture that the soil
grlnds up into dust.
