Sixth. In no case should the
wound be closed. 1t should be allow

Recent results go to show that the
simultaneous injection of an immun-

sure method of preventing the disease.
In all cases where garden dirt, stable
dust. manure, paper wads or powder
from cartridges have been ground or
forced in to the injured tissues, a pre-
ventitive dose of tenteanous antitoxin
should be given simultaneously at the
time the wound is dressed, or as soon
after as is possible.

KEOKUK, June 15.-G. Walter
Barr of Keokuk. author, newspaper
man and guardian OF all the historical
secrets of southwestern Iowa has just
accomplished an interesting feat. He
has pulled off reunion of six peo-
pie, only one or two of whom had
ever seen each other before.
DR.. Barr has two passions-one for
entertaining men who will argue with
him and disagree with him and the
other for showing the charms of the
Mississippi river to visitors. The two
passions work together beautifully.
He gets visitor here, puts him on q
river as far as Burlington and down
as far as Quincy with immense salts
faction and gusto. He knows his Mis-
sissippi as few men know it. He is
the intimate friend of every lofty
bluff and rocky glen, old mansion
house asd sleepy ancient river town.
He is walking directory of the IA
nous people who have made their
abode along the skyline of the Missis-
sippi hills-and the list is an impos-
ingly long one. He is stuffed with
Mormon, Icarian, Indian, ante-bellum
and frontier history. He knows 49,
600 valley residents by the first
names. If ever this section becomes
thronged with tourists as it deserves
to be DR.. Barr will make his fortune
orr a. nd ,;r
though it now looks as If his friendly
interest In the oil wells of eastern
Illinois will deprive said tourists of
their opportunity
DR.. Barr has a large and varied col
lection of friends and for the last two
years he has been considering the de-
STABILITY of holding reunion of half
a dozen of these. The fact that none
of these friends knew each other to
any extent didn't bother him. He has
an eye for the unique Anyone can
hold reunion of old friends but
reunion of brand new friends with no
past experiences and pleasures to
dwell fondly over would leave them
all with single eye for the Missis-
sippi and its beauties. The idea at
tracted him. This spring he issued in
vitations and last Monday the reunion
began.
There were five guests in all. Dean
of them was Major s. Il. NJ. Byers,
poet 1aurete of Iowa-a veteran of
seventy-two with a war record of cap
lures and escapes second only to
Baron Trenck's. Baby of the bunch
was Jay Darling, the famous Ding"

RULES FOR SAFE
AND SANE FOURTH

!. Do not allow your children
to celebrate with percussion caps,
toy pistols, revolvers or the deadly,
treacherous cannons.
q Do not hold any kind of a
firecracker, piece of fireworks or
any explosive in the hand.
g. Never touch an explosive af-
ter lighting it. Curiosity to see
why it didn't go" has resulted in
many sad accidents.
4. DO not perpetrate the insane
joke of laying firecracker behin1
some friend The victim might be
nearer than you think or have on
thin clothing.
5. Do not play the excruciating
ly funny joke of slipping up be-
hind some one with revolver and
round of supposed blanks. There
might be bullet in the gun when
you fire 1t to brighten the inno-
cent victim. Then besides, the
powder, II lodged under the skin
causes tetanus many times.
8. Do not tie firecrackers to
cats and dogs They do not know
the meaning of the Fourth of July,
unfortunately, and cannot possibly
appreciate such humorous out
bursts. Cases have been known
where terrorized animals have car
ried exploding crackers into
houses, causing fires and sending
women and children into Mysteries.
z. Bar the toy cannon absolutly.

for the day when she can throw down
her burden of arms and let her young
men, now in the army, go back to
work
France cannot very we'll take the
lead but she will follow the leader
mighty closely. She keeps armed to
the teeth principally on account OF
Germany and once Germany scraps
few of her dreadnaughts and reduces
her standing army of nearly 100000
units to 100000 or thereabouts
France will be glad enough TO do the
same. So if Germany and England got
together on a peace plan, France and
Germany will likely enough like
wise. The truth Is, France is eager
enough TO do such a thing since her
army and navy are tremendous
weight for her to carry. Her people,
already highly overtaxed, regard with
awe the building of new warships and
the buying of new war materials. And
too. according TO statistics, in less
than 10 years Frances standing army
ALREADY over 10000 men smaller than
that of her worst enemy, Germany
will have loss of 10000 more soldiers
to tack on, the small birth-rate being
responsible for this. On the other
hand Germany's population is increas
ing about seven per cent year and
in 10 years Germany will have a much
| bigger standing army than she has
today unless some sort of disarma
ment treaty can be arranged between
/ the bigger powers.
