BREAK WORLDS RECORD
UhIan TrOts Mile in 1858. Clipping
Half Second From Time.

Lexington. KY, Oct. e.-Uhlan, the
black son of Bingen, by a perform
ance on the track of the Kentucky
Horse Breeders association here,
proclaimed himself king of trotters,
past and present by negotiating a
mile in 1853 fiat, thereby breaking the
worlds record for the fastest mile of
a trotter of any age or sex.
The horse clipped a half second off
the record made by Lou Dillon at

was driven by Charles Tanner and
throughout was as steady as a clock.

SOIL SURVEY STARTED.
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Ames in Charge.

Ames, Ia, Oct. 21.-Jointly with
the United States bureau of soils the
Iowa Agricultural Experiment sta
tion at Ames has started a soil sur
vey which it hopes before long to
extend to every section of the state.
The work has just been begun in
Bremen county. 1t is in charge of
E. B. Watson of the bureau of soils
and F. ID. Howe of the experiment
station. They will remain in the
field until the ground freezes, locat-
ing the different soil types, mapping
them and taking samples. In the
winter Mr.. Howe will make analyses
of samples in the station laboratories
at Iowa State college. In the spring
the two will take to the field again
and complete their work. When 1t
is finished, Bremen county will have
in black and white thorough infor-
nation about their soils and the way
will be made clearer to them to build
up their farms to their very highest
productivity.

as a result the saloons must close

rehearing, which calls for a stay OF
proceedings for sixty days. The re-

Serious Kidney Disease Treated
BY an Old Fashioned Doctor

called at my Office for another bottle
Of medicine, which was his last call.
A month or so afterwards a neighbor
Of his called and got a bottle of the
same medicine, saying that my patient
was practically a well man, attending
to his duties about his large farm.
I had given him the Neutralizing
Mixture which was a remedy that /
had used before only for bowel dis
eases. The same remedy that has since
been sold under the name of Peruna.
I could not quite understand how it
was that Peruna should operate so
lbeneficially in such seemingly different
diseases. I had not yet grasped the
correct philosophy Of disease. I did
not then clearly comprehend that
| catarrh may affect the kidneys as well
as the bowels. Nothing of that sort
was taught in the books in those days.
| 1t took me years before I clearly COM
pretended that catarrh was a disease
liable to attack any organ Of the body.
Catarrh Is a disease Of the mucous
membranes. The mucous membranes
line every organ, duct and cavity in
the body. Thus 1t Is catarrh may set
tie anywhere where there is q mucous
membrane.
Peruna is my remedy for all these
cases. / insist upon 1t, however, that
Peruna is not cure-all. use 1t for
just one disease, catarrh. But as
catarrh is liable to affect so many diff
ferent places, disturb so many differ
ent functions, derange so many differ
ent organs, 1t does seem to many peo-
pie as If regarded Peruna as a cure
lall.
The above narrative is simply one Of
the many cases in my early practice
that brought me to comprehend the
wonderful efficacy Of Peruna in such a
variety of diseases. The kidneys may
be affected by other diseases than
catarrh, but the average case Of kid
Iney disease is catarrh of the kidneys.
All cases of Bright's disease begin
with catarrh of the kidneys. This
being true, and 1t also being true that
Peruna is a catarrh remedy, 1t follows
that great many cases Of kidney
disease would be benefited by Peruna.

Ossian Resident Dies.

The community was shocked Sun
day afternoon when the word came
that Bernard Bauman, Sr., had suf-
fered stroke of apopleXy, and still
greater was the shock when it was
announced that he was dead. Mr..
Bauman had attended mass Sunday
morning, partook of hearty dinner
at noon, shortly after which he was
afflicted. Medical aid was summoned
and everything done for the afflicted
man, but to no avail.
Bernard Bauman was born in
Westphalen, Germany, June 22nd,
1916, and came to America when
quite young. He settled in Festina,
Winneshiek county, in 1871, and has
been a resident of the county since.
In 1876 he was united in marriage
with Miss Henrietta Markink, at Fes-
tina, to which union ten children
were born, six of whom survive as
follows: Mary-now Mrs. Barney
Lensing, Cotton, Wash; Anna-now
Mrs. Matth. Debbelt, Cottonwood, S.
D.; Henry, Ethan, S. D.; Margaret
now Mrs. Michael Gaspers, Kansas
City, Kansas Bernard c., Ossian;
Elizabeth, Ossian.
Several years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Bauman retired from farm life and
moved to Ossian, this having been
their home until Mr. Bauman was
removed by death, Sunday, October
10, 1912, at the age of 67 years, 3
months, and 81 days. His sudden
death is deeply mourned and the wife
and children who survive him have
the sympathy of the entire COM
munity.

consulting physicians had been a pro-
fessor in that college it seemed to me
quite unlikely that l would be able to
do any more than had been done, but
prescribed what seemed to be the best
thing under the circumstances.
He went away and in a week he re-.
turned saying he was no better, that he
was still losing ground. He judged
that he had taken the same medicine
before. No doubt he had. But he
wished me to prescribe again. ! did SO.
This went On for about two months,
the patient failing all the time, and
was becoming thoroughly discouraged
with the case.
One day the patient said to me,
Doctor, why don't you give me the
medicine you gave my neighbor? We
all thought he would die, but your
medicine cured him. This was why
came to you. Why not give me the
same medicine you gave him?"
But" said, your neighbor did not
have kidney disease. 1t was q bowel
complaint that prescribed for in his
case. I remember I gave him the
INeutralizing Mixture that / make a
great deal Of use Of In bowel dis
eases"
"WeIl, I want some OF the same
medicine you gave him. 1t worked
wonders with him and I believe it
will with me-"
But" said, "this is not a medi-
cine for kidney disease"
'Well, since you seem to be like the
rest of the doctors. you cannot help
me, why not try the medicine that
helped my neighbour?
After some hesitation concluded to
give him bottle of 1t. In ten days
he returned. He at once began to be-
rate me in no complimentary words,
saying:
you knew very well this medicine
would help me. You held it back
merely to get more fees for treating
me. From the first the medicine has
helped me and / have made rapid i'm
provement. If could have had this
medicine year ago / should have
been saved a great deal Of expense
and loss of time"
I replied that was glad the medi-
cine had helped him. I was somewhat
confused by his brusque manner and
rough speech. gave him another bot
tie of medicine. Did not see him again

BIG SUM FOR DRAINAGE.
Hamilton County's 116 bitches Cost
100000 in One Year-Land
Values Soar to High Prices.

Webster City, Ia, Oct. 21.-There
are in Hamilton county today 1873
drainage bitches established. OF
this number 116 are completed and
16 are under construction. Approx
mately twenty petitions for other
districts are pending with the board
of supervisors. Probably there are
but few counties in the state that
have spent more than Hamilton coun-
ty on drainage work. The bitches
now complete have cost approximate
ly S1,500,000 and the work projected
for next year amounts to another
$500, 700, so that by the close of the
1913 season Hamilton county will
have expended something like $2,1
100000 for county drainage dis
.tricts.
The figures above quoted take no
account of private drain tile. 1t is
estimated by a Webster City civil
engineer that within the past year
there have been 500 miles of private
tile lines laid in this county.
There will be 81 new drainage dis
tricts ready to work upon in the
spring of 1913. While the work
done in this county is astonishing to
the average person, it is by no means
done. For two years now land has
been increasing in value at an as
founding rate and it is understood
that $2,000,000 has been expended
in county drains and that in one
short season 500 miles of private tile
lines have been laid. While not
every county in the state has done
so much work of this kind as Hamil-
ton county, yet the figures in every
county, if compiled, would astonish
any person who has not kept close
track of the matter.

Gambling Eggs.

An egg which has just been laid
and is still warm entirely fills its
shell, but as it cools to the tempera-
ture of the air it contracts, leaving
a small space at the large end of the
egg empty. AS the egg ages this
space increases in size, due to the
escape of moisture from the egg
through its shell. When the air
space at the end of the egg becomes
quite enlarged, the contents of the
egg are shrunken, it has lost it's fresh
flavor, is stale and unfit to eat
Gambling determines the size of the
air space and whether the contents
of the egg have undergone change
which renders it unfit for use. The
Gambling is done by causing a bright
light to shine through the egg in
such way as to show it's compare
tive freshness.
