script of a series of lectures which he
had delivered in the oskaloosa Hos.
pital School of Nurses, to the well
known publishing house of w. B
Saunders Company of Philadelphia
and London. He got an immediate
reply with the advice that the mat
ter was unusually good, and If he
could furnish sufficient to make q
good sized book, they would publish
lie for him, and undertake its sale
throughout the country. Usually
new authors are compelled to take
their own risks, but the publishers
felt assured that the book would
prove popular and accepted al
chances themselves.
The book is entitled Manual OF
Bacteriology and Pathology and
while it is intended as a text book
for nurses, it makes interesting read
ing, even to those not interested in
medicine or surgery. The book is IL
Illustrated with colored plates, and
while compact and brief in many
ways, it covers the subjects COM
plctely and clearly.
In his introduction the author gives
his reasons for undertaking the work
lin the following paragraph: "Physi'
clans returning from abroad almost
universally remark upon the superior
ity of the nursing in most American
hospitals. If this be true, and, as is
generally believed, it be due to the
greater amount of time and attention
devoted to the training schools for
nurses by American physicians, it is
the earnest hope of the author that
this little book may aid in some small
measure in maintaining this envi-
abe position of the American trained
nurse"
While this is the first book that DR..
Roberts has issued, his name is not
unknown to the profession as an au-
thor. As detailed in the catalogue of
the Library of Congress in Washing
ton. D. c., he has contributed to the
current literature of the time four
pamphlets besides the present book,
as follows:
Psychic Shock or Insult" pam
phlet published at Lincoln, Nebraska,
in July, 1900
Administration in Relation to
Nervous and Mental Diseases" Octo-
Der, 1902
"Neurasthenia," issued at Philadel-
phia in 1901.
"A New Nasal Dressing" Chicago,
1907.

thology for Nurses" Philadelphia,
1912.

of ten days in Jail. Vagrancy was the
technical charge.
Banner had been presenting himself
in police court every ten days during
the winter and spring asking vagran-

sion to the Jail at the expiration Of
his last sentence.
He went out into the country and
lay down under tree. When people
passed he made strange sounds and
signs and was rushed to town under
close guard. After he had been SEN
fenced he smiled appreciatiyely at the

THE COUNTRY CHURCH.

What does the church offer the
young man or young woman OF the
farm today? In days gone by, before
the coming of automobiles on the
farm, of telephones, of rural free de-
divery, the mules we're hitChed to the
! big wagon" straw was laid in the
bottom for the youngsters and seats
placed for the grown-ups, and the ell
tire family went to church on Sun
day. Inviting discussion of the mat
ter, The Northwestern Christian Ad-
Ivocate, of Chicago, says, Changing
social conditions and the innovations
of improved farm machinery, the in
PRODUCTION of the automobile, rural
free delivery of mail, the telephone
and other important innovations have
gradually forced the church to ask,
/ What must we do to save ourselves
from DEATH" A writer in The Unit
ed Presbyterian states that from % to
20 per cent of the farming population
in the prairie states neither belong to
a church nor attend one He is not so
much concerned in the decline in the
number of churches as in the proper
ton of the population that is being
reached. Another clergyman, in The
Northwestern Christian Advocate, ad-
vances the argument that the church
should concern itself in the reCrea-
ton of itB people, saying that the
greatest need of rural life today is
play. 1t would seem that the solution
of this problem would be in the e5tab-
fishing of what are known in the cit
les as institutional" or department
Ia" churChes-ChurChe providing not
only the usual auditoriums for Telig-
iOus worship. but with sufficient room
and facilities for indoor recreation,
The Northwestern Christian AdvO-
cate states further: Boys don't leave
| the farm because they want to escape
hard work. They are equal to that,
but because there Is nothing but work
hard work and no fun. Farm life
is strenuous now; there are fewer
workers, larger responsibilities and
more skill is required. All this ex-
Ihausts energy which must be restor-
ed by recreation" To make the use
of the recreation facilities effective,
the work should have the direct per.
sonal supervision of the clergyman
and picked laymen, and should be a
ministry to the intellectual. physical,
spiritual and social needs of the
young people of the neighborhood.

BUY NO PIGS IN PoKEs.

The great prosperity of the farmers
has aroused the cupidity of financial
sharks and they are swarming all
over the country, presenting thous-
and schemes to bring a fortune in a
day. The crooked financial promoter
is a genius in preparing bait for the
unwary. He can make black look
like white, turn doubt into certainty,
overthrow traditions, set precedent
aside, turn waterless waste into green
fields and bring gold from barren
rocks.
He is genial, plausible, captivat-
ing and conniying and II takes a
strong mind to deny him, but he must
be denied" says the Brighton Enter
prise, until his schemes have been
proven. There are many investments
of high merit, but they are as golden
apples in a sea of sand when COM
pared with the worthless ones and it
requires a trained intelligence to dis
cover them.
There is safety in these simple
rules Sign nothing until you have
shown it to your lawyer. Make no
bargain without consulting your wife
and your banker Pay no currency
but always give a check and then
take a receipt showing in detail the
transaction"

The life of the merchant is long
struggle to get high range of values
from importers, manufacturers, ana
jobbers. When he does get partic-
ularly good values, he usually feels
1t better policy to give his customers
the benefit.
1t is out of these ups and downs
of the days work that the modern
advertisement is created.
There are many dealers in the
produce market who Spend thousands
and thousands OF dollars annually for
Telephone and telegraph messages to
New York and Chicago, to get the
latest figures on grain prices. They
believe it worth almost any price to
know the market changes few hours
or minutes before their competitors.
The buyer for the home needs sim
liar information about purchases, and
! she gets it for the price of newspa-
per All these fluctuation, all the eXl-
gencies of the merchant that constl-
tute her opportunity, all the special
finds picked up by skilful buyers and
offered the public at low figures are
made known and described in the
newspaper.
The information thus obtained gives
you access to the most practical
means for reducing the cost of living.
The people who watch and follow up
the bargains advertised in the news
papers are not much troubled by ad-
IvanCing prices.

He Was Outciassed.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 3.-Fire-
man Jim Flynn won an easy victory
over Charlie Miller at Coffroth's DAILY
arena. annexing the decision after fif-
teen rounds of aggressive fighting.
No sooner had the fighters gone
to their corners than Miller said he
would quit, believing one of his ribs
had been broken. Flynn had the ad.
vantage during the whole scrap. He
took the aggressive from the start
and forced Miller into a clinch at the
beginning of almost every round. Mil
Ter was weak from the start and sew

He played a defensive game from the
start, having hard work at times to
block Flynn's stiff rights and lefts.
A big crowd was present.

Mandot, the French baker boy from
New Orleans, leaped to fame and for

desperate, bruising fighting.
The result came as big surprise to
the 1900 fans who paid 5000 to see
the noted lightwe. ghts struggle for a
match with champion Adolph Wolgast.
The winner was despised to 1 shot
in the ringside betting.
1t was a savage, bloody encounter
after the first five rounds, and each
lad was in a bad way on several ocCa-
sions. Mandot displayed as pretty a
left hand punch as any lightweight
ever went up against. He punched
Rivers face with this left until it
looked like piece of raw steak, and
the local idol seemed utterly unable to
keep his Countenance out of the way
