ARGUS SANTA IS
TO APPEAR AGAIN
Annual Custom Will Be Carried
Out as Usual for Benefit of
the Citys Poor.

News from The Argus Santa Claus
brings the welcome information that
he will again take care of the chill
dren of Rock Island who have no
Santa Clauses Of their own to watch
over their needs Christmas eve. Ac-
cordingly, before many days have
passed, he will issue his call to Mr..
and Mrs. Goodfellow telling them
what he intends doing, how it is to
be done and the help that he needs.
If the past is a criterion, the same
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodfellow will then
arise to the occasion and the result
will be hundreds of happy hearts in
the breasts of Rock Islands poor
children on Christmas morning.
In past years, since The Argus San
Ia Claus came into being, Miss Dina
Ramser, then police mauron and char
ity worker, and Miss Margaret Giles,
visiting nurse, have had charge of the
funds collected, Of the buying of toys
and Christmas presents and of the
distribution of the same. Miss Ram
ser is now out of the city and 1t
was feared that someone else would
have to be secured to take her place,
but the lure of the work is such that
the noble little woman is coming back
to lend her efficient aid. 1t is doubtful
if two more efficient workers than
Miss Ramser and Miss Giles could be
secured and The Argus is immensely
pleased that they are TO again be in
charge of The Argus Santa Claus
fund.
Miss Giles yesterday received let
ter from Miss Ramser in which the
latter stated that she will make a
special trip to Rock Island in order
to discharge the duties which have
been hers in the past. The trip here
necessitates a sacrifice on her part,
but she feels that the good done will
more than repay her.

IRON IN WATER.

IL 10 One of the Most Powerful Flavor
ing Agents Known.
What would you consider one of the
most powerful agents with which to
flavor water? Would it be iron?
A half part per million of iron in
water is detachable by taste, and more
than four or five parts make a water
unpalatable. In some mineral springs
iron is the constituent which imparts
a medicinal value to the water. but
ordinarily it is undesirable.
More than 2.5 parts per million in
water used for laundering makes a,
stain on clothes. Iron must be remov-
ed from water from which ice is made
or a cloudy discolored product will re-
suit. An iron content of over two or
three parts per million in water used
in the manufacture Of paper will stain
the paper.
Iron is harmful in water used for
steaming, for it is in equilibrium with
acids which inside the boiler become
ASSOCIATED. with the result that the
free acids corrode the boiler plates, but
the amount of iron carried in solution
by most waters is so small that the
damage it does to steam boilers gen
orally amounts to little.
Waters having high iron content
have in some places caused an i'm
mense amount of trouble and expense
when used as city supplies for they
favor the growth Of crenothrix to such
a degree that the water pipes become
clogged with the iron sheaths of the
organism. The removal of iron from
water is sometimes easy and some
times very difficult--Geological Survey
Bulletin.

kins were gay with the national col
ors and the faVors were blossoms of
the red clover.

held before the lawn party, Mrs.
Lillian L. Baldwin and Mrs. H. B.
Stanton were admitted as members.

Tineturs Of Iodine, Il ls Claimed. Gives
Remarkable Results.

Remarkable ReEuits.
Among cases OF accidental poisoning
those caused by carboIic acid are the
most frequent. These generally arise
through mistaking a solution OF car
boIic acid for some medicine or, as
occurs very often. for some alcoholic
liquor.
The remedies generally employed in
dealing with this kind Of poisoning
consist in washing the stomach with
alkaline water or pure glycerin, fol-
lowed by the ingestion OF alkaline sui
pilates. oil and white of eggs beaten
up. Some years ago, however. DR..
Maberly showed that tincture OF 10
dine. administered in fairly large
doses, may give much better results.
On one occasion when called in to
attend a young negro who. thinking
he was drinking whisky. had swallow
ed a quantity OF strong solution Of
carbolic acid and who consequently
was severely burned about the lips and
throat. DR.. Maberly hurriedly made
him swallow a teaspoonful Of tincture
Of iodine in a cupful OF water. A few
minutes afterward the patient was
able to swallow some milk without any
difficulty. speaking became easier, and
he very soon completely recovered.
The same immediate and complete
effect was obtained on administering
tincture Of iodine in doses Of FIVE drops
in water in the case Of a three-year-
old boy who had just swallowed some
carbolic acid
Similar success was met with in
third case of carbolic acid poisoning.
the victim being a child Of two years
Of age: In this instance the iodine
treatment could not be begun till thir-
ty hours after the ingestion Of the poi
son. The alarming symptoms soon dis
appeared under the influence Of tine
ture Of iodine given every four hours
in doses Of five drops in teaspoonful
of water. The little patient was cured
The tincture Of iodine neutralizes the
carbolic or picnic acid by forming
with it an iodophenate. insoluble and
therefore harmless.-European Edition

LIFE BETTER FOR WORK
Federation of American Women Hold
Interesting Club Session

Interesting Club Session
San Francisco, June 2S.-Some
striking sentiments as to the part
played by women in the national life
have been expressed by state presi-
dents before the General Federation
of Women's clubs in session here.
Miss Mary Garrett Hay of New York
city, speaking of the club women Of
New York said:
In the Empire State women are be-
coming more alive to their response
bilities day by day. They not only
are cleaning up the alleys and back
yards, but the municipal government
and the laws of the state. They are
interested in all things that affect
women and children"
AS representative of West Virginia,
Mrs. John Ruhl of Clarksburg said:
IF DR.. Wiley was Of more influ-
ence than any other organization in
executing the pure food laws, then
this federation has improved the ma
tional digestion and the national
morals"
Our men could not have climbed
so high on the ladder of fame unless
our women had steadied that ladder ,"
said Mrs. Thomas Jefferson Smith OF
Richmond, KY, in a tribute to the
women OF that state.
