is Unauthorized.
The daily papers have it that Paul
Stillman and Frank P. Woods are to
have opposition for congress in the
way of Taft candidate, the latest
to this effect being the following in
the Des Moines Capital:
There will be a Taft candidate for
the republican nomination for congress
in the Tenth district, according to ad-
vices received at the state house.
There are two insurgent candidates
in the field-Congressman Frank P.
Woods, of Estherville, and Paul Still
man, of Jefferson. The state house
gossip says that three we'll known
men in the district are being urged to
enter the race against Woods and Still
man. Those suggested are: Editor
Henry of the Coon Rapids Enterprise,
W., c. Saul of Carroll and Morton
Whalen of Emmettsburg. Either OF
these men, in the opinion of state
politicians, is strong enough to carry
the district away from Woods and
Stlllman in three cornered fight"
Mr.. Henry in his paper, the Coon
Rapids Enterprise, says of the report:
The Enterprise publisher does not
know who started this movement but
as we are receiving letters from over
the district offering support if we win
come out and make fight for the
nomination on a Taft platform, it an.
pears to be taken seriously in some
quarters. We are for Taft all right,
but not q candidate for any Office"

THE LOCUST IS
COMING IN MAY
Tho Central and Southern Parts Of
the State Will Be Visited by
These Insects This Year.
Insects Will do Greatest Damage t.
Young Trees-Professor at Ames
Responsible for Statement.

Ames, Feb s19-The seventeen-year
locust is duegto appear in Iowa again
this season. r. L.,Webster, assistant
acknowledgement theAIowa experiment
station,ss ys confidently that it may
be expected. has Investigated the
records OF lits9c4urrencesas kept at
the college ap hey finds that it has
appeared at rasulaf' seventeen-year
Intervals The hrstN record of this in
teresting pest was in 1874, next in
1861, then in 1873 and last in 1895.
Just as surely as 1895 plus sew
enteen equals 1912, just as surely
says Mr.. Webster, "the locust will
visit the state again this year"
According to Professor Webster,
however, no serious damage is to be
expected from the seventeen-year
locust, even though it may appear
in considerable numbers. It's chief
injury is done to young trees on
which the females deposit their eggs,
stunning the growth of the branches
and twigs.
Farmers, fruit growers and nurs.
erymen who expect to plant trees
this spring" says Mr.. Webster,
ought to take some preventive meas
ures against the seventeen-year To-
Gust. Trees are especially liable to
injury when set near things or on re-
Gently cleared ground. Trees set in
such places either should be cut Sc
verely back at the start so as to leave
lay it's eggs, or else they should be
cut back little or not at all until at
ter the first of July, when the locusts
have disappeared"
According to Mr. Webster the sew
enteen-year locust will appear chiefly
in the central, south central and the
southeastern parts of the state, be-
cause these are the districts which
were chiefly infested at the last WISH
tation in 1895. The insects may be
expected to appear in the following
counties: Adair, Adams, Audubon,
Boone, Cass, Dallas, Davis. Decatur
Des Moines, Greene, Hamilton, Hen
ry, Iowa, Jasper, Jefferson, Johnson,
Keokuk, Louisa, Madison, Mahaska,
Marion, Marshall, Monroe, Muscatlne,
Polk, Poweshiek, Ringgold, Scott,
Story, Taylor, Union, Van Buren,,
Wapello, Warren, Wayne and Web
ster.
The young locusts should appear
about the last week in May and re-
main about a month, disappearing
about the first of July. They have
been in the soil now ever since 1895.

Do You Sit CORRECTLY?

In the good old days lady would no
more think of sitting with her elbows
on the table and of crossing her legs
than she would of eating with her
knife. Now such actions are so COM
mon as to pass almost unnoticed.
The girl who leans habitually on her
elbows soon ruins them. The skin
roughens and reddens, eventually be-
coming callous and horny. Worse yet,
the pressure Of the body on the elbow
stops the circulation and reddens the
skin of the entire arm.
More dangerous is the habit common
to men and women alike Of sitting with
one leg swung over the knee of the
other. The pressure comes at SEN
sitive part of the leg and knee. a spot
where there are number of large
veins. arteries and nerves. The pres
sure stops circulation. crowds the It's
sues together and produces various ills.
Many woman who suffers from
headache or numbnesS will find 1t re-
leved if she ceases to sit with her legs
crossed. The habit long continued pro-
duces varicose veins. red nose. bruised
spots and other ills attendant on stop

habit if woman makes a practice of

BALLNGER-TAYLOR.

A wedding making a noteworthy
month in social circles was that of
Miss Bessie Taylor, the attractive
daughter of Mr.. John Taylor of near
Economy and DR.. Howard Charles
Ballinger. The affair was celebrated
last evening at eight o'clock in the
beautiful and spacious Taylor resi-
dence before quite number of rela-
tives and friends.
The Taylor home which is elegant
ly appointed for an affair of this kind,
was handsomely decorated for the oc-
casion. The color scheme of yellow
and white was carried out in some of
the rooms. The spacious stairway
was banked with palms and ferns, the
greenery making a most effective de-
coration. In the parlor where the
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
George w. Martin, of the Methodist
church, an improvised altar had been
made Of greenery, the flowers and
ferns forming a veritable arbor. At
either side of the altar were placed
white pedestals holding handsome
candelabras. Masses of golden glow
added to the brightness of the decora-
tive motif. All the appointments in
this room were in yellow and green.

1t goes without saying that consid-
Grafton for others is one of the twelve
pillars of the law of good breeding
and a very important one. Everybody
recognizes this in a general way, yet
many people do not realize how large
a share it has in the technical rules of
etiquette. Thus punctuality is said to
be the politeness Of kings. but punctu-
atty is dictated by consideration for
others as well as by the desire to have
everything move in a smooth and or
DERBY manner. Guests at a dinner
must arrive at the hour named or five
minutes after lest they keep the party
mbled waiting for them. Fifteen
minutes is the utmost limit allowed to
tardy corners.
A hostess who invites friends to Wis

wants them to amuse her violates, per-

pitality. People who have great deal
of money and little to do sometimes Of
fend in this way. Time hangs heavy
on their hands, and they are delighted
to have some bright girl or clever
young man come to stay with them to
brighten them up. If they provide
amusement for the visitors or give
them something desirable which they

Hot weather has a very weakenin.
effect on women. They become too
languid to exercise and have appetite
for light, tasty foods, like salads and
other cold connections, which do not
digest readily and tend to increase
their natural tendency to constipation.
At this season women, especially,
need all their strength to resist the en-
ervating effect of the heat. Good di-
gestion and regularity of the bowels
are essential. Some fruits have laxa-
tive properties, but they are uncer-
tain in their effect, and are not gener-
ally advised. A mild bowel stimulant
and digestant, such as DR.. CALDWELL
Syrup Pepsin, is preferable because
1t is certain in its effect, natural in it's
action, and wholly safe. Take a dose
of Syrup Pepsin at night and by morn

HOW THE EARTH DRIED.
And Why the Drying Up Process 10
Constantly Going On.

Constantly Going On.
When water Is decomposed by radium
or by ultra violet rays 1t produces by
drogen and peroxide Of hydrogen. and
1t does not form oxygen. Electrolytic
decomposition forms oxygen.
A German Investigator bases a new
theory relating to the drying Of the
earth on the fact that one form of de-
composition produces oxygen. while
the other form does not. Part Of the
water vapor emitted by the seas is de-
composed by the ultra violet rays of
the sun. The hydrogen formed rises
toward the high atmospheric strata
and all the water does not return to
the surface. Therefore the quantity
Of water on the face of the globe Is al.
ways diminishing, and the earth is In
