MISTAKE LYE FOR WHISKEY.
Two Paullina Sports i'm PrecariOus
Condition as Result of
Wild Ride.

Paullina, July 14.-Jacob johnson
and Allie Jensen, two well known
men OF this place, are in a precarious
condition as result of having drank
from the wrong one of two jugs
while returning home from Prim-
CHAR One jug, they knew. contain
ed whiskey and they are still uncer-
tain how the other jug, which con-
tanned solution of I've, got into the
car. Both men drank from the solu-
ton and We're rendered incapable
of proceeding to their homes and
remained in their car all night suf-
tering fortunes.
AT five o'clock this morning they
were discovered by a farmer living
near where the two wayfarers had
come TO grief, and summoning help
the men were given medical atten-
ton.
The physicians, who have been
working with the two men, say that
the fact that the stomachs of the
two men contained some acid. which
acted as an altidote, saved them
from being killed within short
time, and it is not by any means
certain that they will not die yet.

iowA's COAL PRODUCTION.
The Output for 1911 Valued at Over
Twelve Million Dollars.

The total production of coal in
Iowa in 1911 was 7,331.64S short
tons, valued at SI2,663.507. accord
ing TO q statement just issued by E.
w. Parker. of the United States Geo
logical Survey, compiled from data
collected by the Federal Survey and
the Iowa Geological Survey.
The strike OF 1910, which stopped
productions in most of the mines in
lie states OF the middle west for the
greater para OF six months, lasted in
Iowa for only six weeks, and the pro-
duction in that state increased over
that OF the preceding year instead Of
decreasing. In 1911 the production
Of Iowa showed decrease of $780,
472 short tons in quantity and ST.
24O,4 in value. Prices were fairly
well maintained and the average for
1911 was only two cents less than
That for 1919, which was the highest
recorded in recent years. Iowa is
one of the more important manufac-
turing states, its population depend
ing chiefly upon agriculture, and the
markets for its coal, outside of that
taken by the railroads, are largely
W uIdl communities anu cities OF
moderate size. Most of the coal pro-
duced comes from mines with capac-
tiles ranging from $4,000 to 10000
tons. The growth of the coal mining
industry is fairly indicative of the
increase and prosperity of the popu-
lation. 1t has been relatively steady
without violent fluctuations. The
Lumber of men employed in the coal
mines of Iowa in 1911 was 1859,
who worked an average of 203 days
and produced an average of 441.7
tons. The time lost by reason of the
strikes was about OF per cent of the
time made and did not affect the to-
tai production.
In Iowa as in the other states of
the Interior Province, shooting coal
off the solid is practiced to an unfor-
tunate degree. OF the 6,171,995 tons
for which the mining methods were
reported to the Geological Survey,
the quantity shot off the solid was
5,Ol7, los short tons, or S1.3 per
cent.

Save the Babies.

The heated term is here again and
unless great care is exercised there
is certain to be many deaths among
babies. With a view of enlighten-
ing mothers in the care of their Ii
tie ones the Chicago health depart
ment has issued a bulletin contain
ing practical hints applicable every
where. The following are listed
among the "dol'ts of the circular:
Don't rock the baby.
Don't feed it every time it cries.
Don't take it UP every time it
cries.
Don't let relatives or visitors poke
or pinch or boo" at it TO make it
notice them or laugh
Don't let the children of the neigh
borhood visit and kiss it.
Don't let flies get TO the baby or
its food
Don't put clothing on the baby
that binders the motions of the arms
and legs.
Don't dress your baby to make a
show Of him-dress him to keep him
comfortable and happy.
Don't sleep with the baby-let
him sleep alone and where fresh
air from an open window can reach
MIN.
Don't give him medicine without
a doctors order.
Mothers should take especial care
that the milk that they buy is fresh,
clean, pure and is kept clean. They
should not feed their babies milk
that is over twelve hours old unless
it has been preserved cold by ice or
running cold water Milk should be
cold so as not TO raise the baby's
normal temperature. Use of tube
nursing bottle is advised against.
The best kind is one with large
opening at the top, the removable
rubber cap and nipple forming the
top Of this bottle. Keep the bottle
and nipple clean After each feed
ing remove the nipple and boil both
bottle and nipple for ten minutes.
Before using again rinse the bottle
and nipple in boiled water-about a
quart Of water in which a teaspoon
full of baking soda has been dissolv-
ed.
Included in the pamphlet is de-
scription Of how to make an ice box
for cost not exceeding twenty-five
cents. The plaa is this:
Secure an ordinary soap box OF
packing case In this place tin
pail surrounded with sheet of tin
bent in circular form, which makes
an air space Between this and the
walls of the box pack sawdust. Place
ice in the circular chamber surround
ing the pail Fold dozen thickness
ses of newspapers over the top and
cover with the lid. The cost for ice
for a box Of this kind would be but
a few cents day, and will keep the
baby's milk cool and sweet
If an oilcloth or water-soaked gum
nv sack be placed over the top of the
papers the ice will melt less rapidly.
