Captain Lardner or the Mackay-

The fact that the Mackay- Bennett

SAME AILMENT HERE
A Trouble Which Simply Has to be
Fought and Worn Out.

Says the Burlington Hawk-Eye:
There are very many cases of pc
culiar ailment in the city, that the
medical profession does not seem to
be able to cope with. The disease is
very old one, and there seems to be
no remedy for it. 1t has to be wrest.
led with and conquered. 1t is gener-
ally known as the spring fever. Bless
ed are those, who can sit or prefer
ably lie in the sun, and let the dis
ease run it's course. BY and by, the
patient RECEIVERS. There has never
been fatal case. But it is awful
tough on the man who has to tackle
the disease and wrestle with it, and
overcome it as best he can. 1t af-
fects old and young alike, and no
doubt, the teachers in the public and
other. schools, make due allowance
for 1t. Perhaps they are afflicted
with the same trouble. Ii very
bright or an average pupil appears
absolutely stupid and dense, there is
no occasion for worry and the young
ster is not really to be blamed. 1t is
simply a pronounced case of spring
fever. If everybody got it at the
same time, then spring vacation
would be just the thing for the
schools, for it must be almost a waste
of time to try to keep school when
some of the teachers and many of the
pupils are afflicted with the spring
fever in serious form.
Physicians here and there have
broken into print, OF late. and have
written entertainingly of various all
ments. But to the present no one
among them has given us disserta-
ton upon the ailment, which few es-
cape, and for which a real remedy
would appear most desirable. That
is always for those only, who must
stick to some task or post. For the
others. who have little to do and can
postpone that indefinitely, that spring
fever must be a genuine treat, a real
blessing. And in some cases, it
seems to have become chronic. There
are few people in Burlington, who
seem to be afflicted with that deli
cious languor, that marvellous tired
feeling, not only when the first flow,
ers of spring make their appearance,
but at all seasons of the year. And
they would struggle with might and
main and fight as they never fought
before. if some one did discover
remedy and proposed to try it on
them.

THE SOCIAL SERVICE
Two Days Institute in Oskaloosa
Closed This Morning.

A social service institute was held
in Oskaloosa on Friday afternoon and
evening and closed its session on
Saturday morning. The institute was
held in the interest of the Men ana
Religion Forward Movement and was
practically a continuation of the pol
icy of organization, which was intro.
duced at the mass meeting that was
held last Sunday evening at the Cen
trail M +. church.. %.
The institute began with an open
conference regarding the work, at the
Y. M. c.. A., on Friday afternoon, at
which DR.. Samuel Zane Batten of Des
Moines, was present. DR.. Batten is
an expert in sociological circles in
this country and his advice and coun-
ell at this time, regarding this new
movement, is greatly appreciated.
At 1902. m, DR.. Batten spoke at the
Presbyterian church on THE Practice
of Citizenship" and in his address
DR.. Batten deplored in very strong
terms the inactivity of the Christian
church and It's membership, regarding
the political questions of the day
II is distinctly the duty of every true
Christian man to register his convic.
tions at the polls whenever he is
given an opportunity to do so. II
he fails to do SO, he is recreant to
the trust which Goo has placed in his
hands. On all public questions con
corning the public good, his Christian
manhood should be used actively fol
the benefit OF his, fellow men.
The institute closed its session OF
Saturday morning, at the Presbyter
ian church. DIR. Batten spoke on tbs
question, What is Social Service
and this was followed by a genera
discussion of the whole question ant
the formulating of plans for future
work. The meetings Of the past fal
and winter, the mass meeting of las
Sunday evening, and the various
committee meetings that have beef
held during the past few months Il

Mrs. Ed Z. Jones returned home
Wednesday from Alton, Ills, where
she was called some two months ago
by the death of her sisters husband.
She was accompanied home by her
sister, Mrs. Alice Matt, who will spend
few days here and then go to Bur

also accompanied home by Miss Ber-

ial employment.
Rev. o. B. Smith, of Evans, who has
been filling the pulpit of the Second
Baptist church here since its organic.
alton, has been conducting series of
revival meetings at the church the
past week and so successful have they
been that they will be continued dur.
ing the coming week. Rev. Smith is
an interesting and forcible speaker
and has awakened much interest
among those who have attended the
meetings.
Alfonzo Kimbrough, one of the ty'
phoid fever patients, is coming along
nicely at this writing. He is able to
sit up for short intervals and is be-
ginning to exhibit his old time smile
and an appetite that requires constant
watching on the part of his nurse.
Rev. X. H. Young, the new pastor
at Wesley chapel, arrived in the city
last week and conducted services at
the church Sunday. He preached
both morning and evening and made
a good impression on the congregation.
He returned to Wellington, Mo-, this
week for the purpose of removing his
family to this city.
Fred Poindexter, who was recently
called TO South Dakota on account of
the illness of BROTHER, returned last
week, leaving him in much improved
condition. Fred and his wife are now
spending short vocation with
friends and relatives in Buxton.
Clarence Allen, who was erroneous
ly reported in Thursdays Herald, is
still alive, although for the past few
days he has been very low and at
times showed little sign of life. He
has rallied each time, however, and
this morning was reported apparently
better, although the outcome is still
uncertain. as he is now suffering with
"a well developed case of pneumonia.

been down with pneumonia for the
past two weeks. is now rapidly recov-

'STERILIzING BUTTER
Mrs. Hadley Tells of the Method
Which She Employees.

Several friends who know of my
custom of boiling our butter In order
to destroy all chance disease germs
nave inquired how the act was per
formed. Desiring to be Of all possible
service to those who may be interest
ed, give the following instructions:
Place the butter in a double or
ferina boiler, boil thoroughly. say half
an hour Remove from stove and
skim off the skum which invariably
forms on top of the butter Then pour
in about half cup of boiling water
to two pounds of butter. Without the
water the butter is too dry and
crumbles. Add about teaspoonful
Of salt, as some of the salt comes out
tanning the butter in shallow pan,
and let cold water from the cold water
faucet flow around the butter while
you constantly stir it. The colder the
water the sooner the butter hardenes.
Fasten a rag around the faucet in the
water can run, in order to prevent
the water from splashing into the
butter while you stir. II you have
ice, place the vessel containing the
butter in a pan of ice water, after it
is cooled under the faucet. When the
butter is so hard that you can no
longer stir il, it is ready to be packed
into an earthenware vessel, covered
and put away. If you do not use ice
the process of hardening Is arrested
before the butter becomes as hard as
above described. But If you stop stir
ring for about five minutes and then
return TO the butter, you will find
it sufficiently hardened, and after 1t
is stirred to become perfectly smooth
it is ready to put away.
This process decidedly improves the
flavor of the butter, and also its tex
ture. 1t will not make bad butter
good, but it does improve poor butter,
and makes good butter superfine.
But, above all, it removes the POSSIBLE.
ity of typhoid, or other disease germs
existing in your butter.
MRS. S. NJ. HADLEY.
