Corn Being Planted.

Farmers are very busy planting
corn throughout the county. In some
localities 1t is nearly all planted,
while in others not more than a
good start has been made. One Of
the progressive farmers of the coun-
ty said to Freeman-Tribune man
today that he did not think more
than half the corn acreage is plant
ed. With good weather, next week
will see the planting practically fin

people of Iowa employ homeopathic
| physicians. 1t is run on the theory
that this one-ffth, or whatever the
proportion is, will send enough
students to train for the profession
to make it worth while to give the
course. With only sixteen students
in the college, only nine of whom
will be taking surgery next year, it
does not seem wise to the board to
spend from $1,000 to $4,000 for
courses in surgery, when duplicates
OF them are given only 800 feet
away, and the work can be carried
on without additional expense.
There are only two freshmen and
one sophomore in the homeopathic
school. This does not indicate that
one-tifth of the people of Iowa con-
slider themselves vitality interested
in the development of the college.
The Republican has nothing
against homeopathy or the homeo-
pathic college. 1t regrets this de-
partment of the university has
withered away. But it believes that
should be recognized, and
1t holds to the belief that the state
board would be squandering money
to spend $500 upon nine students

Cutthroat Policy in Lumber Selling

Cutthroat Policy in Lumber Selling
was abolished years ago by all rep
utable manufacturers. 1t marked
the realization of the fact that Ma
ture had given this generation but
one crop of timber and that as the
population grew and the forests
were diminished the value of lum-
Der would necessarily increase. This
awakening stopped the wasteful use
of lumber and brought out many
substitutes, which have proved ex-
cellent for railroad and other out
door construction, but from the con-
sentative homebuilders' viewpoint,
don't come up to the genuine old
fashioned frame house. One of the
most important considerations in
home is that of health
to avoid dampness, mustiness and
the discomforts from sudden changes
IN the temperature-all of these
things must be carefully considered
in home building if satisfaction is to
reign supreme. Maybe we can help
you-if you think so, come incur

PICTURE EXHIBIT
AT THE LIBRARY
A Collection of Beautiful Pictures
from the Young Gallery in
Chicago

There is now on exhibition at the
Kendall Young Library a fine col
lection of paintings, largely water
colors, by well known artists of the
United States and Europe. The col
lection is one which is sent out
from the J. w. Young gallery in
Chicago and is under the super
vision of Mrs. Reed, who is here to
show the pictures.
In this collection are some of the
beautiful landscapes of the French
artist, Flavette; one of the famous
heads of the Italian, Tessari; D.
Tarenghi's Prayer in the Desert,
valued at four hundred dollars, al
so E. 1. Couse's American Indian, a
we'll known picture in artistic cir
cles. Besides these are two of Carl
Weber's Apple Blossoms which If he
hadn't painted so many others like
them would be worth thousands of
dollars.
Two of the new panel pictures of
Bruno Ertz are also in this exhibit
and some wonderfully beautiful
winter scenes by Norwegian artists.
Tony Nell's picture, Sunshine, which
has been on exhibition in the Me-
tropolitan Museum in New York
City, is well worth seeing.
This is Mrs. Reeds second visit
to Webster City with art exhibits
and she will be glad to have all in
terested in these pictures call at the
library.

DELIGHTFULLY."- ENTERTAINED
A most delightful time was en-
ioyed Friday evening when the
music committee of the Congrega-
tional church entertained the mem
bers of the evening choir and few
other young people of the church
at the D. L. Hunter home on First
street.
The evening was spent in live
ly manner with numerous contests,
music and other diversions. An ed
ucational contest in which some
difficult questions were asked, show
ing up ones history, geography
and general education to a good CD
advantage, was feature of the ev-
enings entertainment and was
much enjoyed. g..
A contest in which those partic-
ipating were obliged to make a hat
of tissue paper for their partner
showed what fine milliners they
have in the Congregational church
and created great deal Of fun and
hilarity. The latest creations in
the millinery art were displayed be-
fore the Judges" when the owners
took part in the grand march and
anxiously> awaited their approval.
Prizes for this contest were award
ed to Miss Mabel Huddlestun, first,
who made the elaborate headgear
worn by Miss Marian White, and
second, to Miss Lucille Briggs whose
fancy handicraft adorned the head
of Miss Matred Whitman.
A musical contest, or rather a
musical romance, was read by Miss
Juliet Buckley, parts of the songs
being played. by Miss Lee Hill, and
the guests guessing the answers.
Miss Katie Stafford won the prize in
this contest.
Probably the merriest part Of the
evening was when the guests found
their partners for the refreshments
by songs. Two slips of paper were
passed with the title of the same
song and all were requested to sing
the song, thus finding their part
ners. The house rang with music,
from the staidest old fashioned air
to the liveliest rag time.
Refreshments We're then served
and, after a few stunts accomplish
ed by a number of the guests, the
merry party dispersed declaring
Mesdames Lee, Boysen, Hunter, Dy-
sart and Ainslie charming hostesses
and the Misses Juliet Buckley and
Ruth Cooley delightful helpers along
the entertaining line.

CALoMEL GIVES ONLY TEMPORARY
RELIEF.
So Powerful II Shocks Liver and Leaves
IL Wease r Than Before. Dodson's
Liver Tone a Perfect Substitute.

Nearly everybody who has eyer tried
calomel for constipation or a sluggish
liver has found that it gives only TEN
porary relief. For calomel is such a
powerful drug that it shocks and weak
ms the liver and makes it less able aft
erward to do its duty than in the first
place.
This is one OF the reasons why S. l..
Raines' drug store would rather sell
Dodson's LIVER Tone to you than Gallo
mel. We know thst Dodson's Liver
Tone is a pure vegetable liver tonic
that will cure constipation quickly and
gently without any danger Of bad after
effects. We guarantee 1t to do this
with q guarantee that is simple and
fair. II ysu buy q bottle Of Dodson's
Liver-Ton for yourself or your chill
dren, and do not find that 1t is a perfect
substitute for calomal, then come back
to the store and get your money. II you
don't get value for your money out Of
this tonic, it's your right to expect
your money back, and we will gladly
give 1t to you.
