Muscles Automatic.

Albert Won Haller, a Swiss sur
geon OF the Eighteenth century, was
the first to point out that the mus
Giles of our bodies have an automatic
action. Before Haller's time 1t was
thought that the muscles could not
contract or swell up OF themselves,
but We're drawn up by the nerves OF
Volltion. Halter discovered that this
Is not So but that muscle, il irIfl-
tated, win draw itself together au-
tomatically, even when 1t is quite sep
arated from the nerves, and this has
since been proved to be true by a
great number OF experiments. So
though it Is true our nerves are the
cause of our moving, because they
excite the muscles and so cause them
to contract, yet the real power OF
contraction Is in the muscle itself.
The body of man is full OF wonders,
not the least of which Is this auto
matte power of contraction in all

The Dark Day in Between.

Des Moines Capital: Republicans
of Iowa do not seem yet to realize
that the Republican party of the ma
ton is on the rocks. The party in
Iowa thinks it can go on fighting as
usual in the future as in the past
The Republican party OF Iowa has
been in the habit of tying up to men
who call themselves Republicans and
expecting them to fight Republican
battles.
If the Republican party in Iowa
had but slight majority, good, de-
cent Republican newspapers would
be appreciated, which is not the case
at the present time.
The Republicans of Iowa regard a
good Republican paper as joke.
When the party in the nation goes
to pieces, prices of stocks and bonds,
farms and farm produce, including
wages and earnings of the people,
there will come some appreciation of
genuine Republicans and genuine Re
publican papers.
In that day Republican legislatures
will not consider mugwumps rs being

ate.

COSTS BUT A TRIFLE
TO CURE CATARRH

How many readers oil The Gate
City know that in Inland Australia
where the mightiest eucalyptus trees
grow in abundance, that there is no
consumption, catarrh or diseases Of
the respiratory tract.
The refreshing balsam thrown out
by these trees fills the air and is
breatbed into the lungs by the inhabi-
tants and all germ life is destroyed.
If you have catarrh you cannot go
to Inland Australia except at great ex-
pense, but you can breathe, right in
your own home, the same pleasant,
soothing, healing, germ killing air you
would breathe if you were living in
the eucalyptus district of Australia.
Just breathe HYOMDI: it is made
from Australian eucalyptus and scien-
tifieally combined with thymol and
other antiseptics employed in the Lis.
terrain system.
Pour few drops of HYOMEI in the
inhaler and breathe it. AS it passes
over the catarrh infected membrane
it kills the germs and heals the raw
inflamed surface.
HYOMEI is guaranteed to cure ca
tarrh, coughs, colds, Group and sore
throat, or money back. Complete out

CHEESE AS FOOD.

The result of the recent expert.
ments TO determine the value of
cheese as an article OF diet have now
been published In bulletin Of the
department of agriculture. The ex-
periments were conducted with vol
unteer students of Wesleyan Uniyer-
sity, Middletown, Conn, who were
fed exclusively on cheese diet for
three or four days while being con
fined in cage. The report, as, pre-
pared by Assistant Dairyman Doane,
says the students ranged in age from
nineteen TO thirty-two. With the
cheese were given few slices of
bread, little charcoal and some ban
anas. The amount of cheese eaten
varied from half pound to a pound
a day. A record of the physical con-
dition of each was kept. IT was
shown that the green cheese was as
readily digestible as the more ripe
kinds, and on the whole no bad re-
suits were observed. A pound OF
cheese was found to have as much
fpod value as two pounds Of fresh

If Land Lures, Begin at Homo.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
young man who feels the drawing
powers Of the soil, the lure of the
land. il he lives in Iowa, is under no
compulsion to go thousand miles
away from home to try his luck. He
can do it right here. Any man with in
dustry and thrift can get hold of ten
or 20 acres of land and on that much
land he can make a good profit on
his labors, provided he will get away
from corn and oats, but devote his
time to more intensive kinds of farm
ing. 1t may take few years to get
under way. but hundreds of Iowans
have accomplished it. Farming looks
and sounds like another thing, when
it is thousand miles from home, at
the end of some rainbow. This Is es-
pecially true when it is called by
other names, such as ranching or
fruit farming. but it is all one and
the same thing 1t means work in the
soil and under the sun, whether it is
in California or Colorado or Texas Or
Florida. 1t is just as prosaic in those
places as it is in Iowa and just as ex-
Ehilerating here as it is there. But
there is a certain glamor about it
when one thinks of going away from
home to do it. We all imagine one
half of the time, that somewhere
away from here we can make work
and farming idyllic.
But if you will make your start in
Iowa on ten acres, instead of on ten
acres Of irrigated land, you will be
certain of one thing and that is re.
suits. In Iowa there is never fail
lure on the part of the soil to yield
a crop, enough to keep one alive.
And there is another thing that also
is certain and that is a market near
at hand for whatever you produce.
If you want to go to work digging
in the soil, begin right at homo. Raise

away the attorney fee for attorneys
who make a business of attacking IL
auor dealers at SIS per case. Senator
Sammis took occasion to reveal some
secrets of what is being done under

that in Woodbury. county, for instance,
one attorney had secured over $4,000
in two wears as fees in such cases,
another $4,000 and another about 81
600. In Scott county some 262 cases
had been brought and DEGREES entered
on printed stipulation blank and
over $4,000 thus secured, with no in

WOMEN AND SUFFRAGE.

IL is easy to agree with a conclus-
ion reached by the Indianapolis Star
with regard to the process by which
women suffragists are most likely to
attain, within reasonable time the
end they have in view. Calling at
tention to the curious fact that the
woman suffrage movement is very
strong in New York, for the reason
that so many women OF high social
position and community influence have
been enlisted in the cause through
sympathy with the garment workers
and other large groups of toilers who
earnestly desire the reform for its
promised amelioration of working
time, wage and other conditions. the
paper asks IT the cause may not be
strengthened elsewhere by appealing
rather for the support OF women, in
the first instance, than for the support
of men,
This view is based upon the assump-
ton that men may be led out of an
attitude OF indifference or opposition
10 the movement by women with
whom they are in closest contact, and
that women, for the most part, are to-
day utterly unmoyed by the suffrage
appeal. The husbands, brothers sons
and associates of suffragists, where
such exist says the Star, are prac-
tically unanimous for the reform.
Instead of trying to carry by storm
an opposition that really rests upon
mans fidelity to his home influences,
why not win by flank movement.

Gess of the woman suffrage movement
that the great mass of women in this
country are Indifferent to the ballot.
The Christian Science Monitor states
the case briefly and well in the fol
lowing paragraph:
1t is, we believe, undeniable that
the great mass of womankind has
failed thus far to evince anything
that deserves to be called deep in

movement that is intended to gain
votes for women has not yet the

view of the fact that the efforts OF
the suffragist leaders have heretofore
been directed mainly to the education
of men on the subject. Men can be
reached even in an educational sense
more surely through women who are
near them than through men who are
not. There appears, on the whole

The robin is a delightful fellow. He
seems to like humankind and he shows
his companionable nature by building
his nest near our doorways and sing
ing to lis from the tree branches that
overhang our houses, If there are no
convenient trees for nesting or sing
ing, he comes and perches on nearby
telephone wires and MARBLES his mel

save for the crumbs he finds in the
kitchen yard, and, OF course, few
cherries and berries in season, and his
music makes the whole spring and
summer happier
Poor robin! His graciousness to
humans is not very we'll repaid. They
hunt poor robin, and shoot him, and
rob his nests of eggs or fedglings.
Sometimes they do it merely in saw
age fun. Sometimes they do it to get
his wings and his pretty red breast
feathers for savage decoration But.
anyway, humans make it SO hard for
him to sing and make the world
brighter and happier. Down south

summer.
