THE GIRL WHO is NERVOUS.

In the June Woman's Home Com
panion, in an article on The Girl
Who is Nervous appears the fol-
lowing:
''The American girl, generally
speaking, is nervous girl; the nerv-
BUSINESS, in one form or another,
seems to crop up in all classes.
I happened to be in the train the
other day with fifteen young girls
who, with two chapeUns, were going
to New York City for matinee.
They were from one of the we'll
known fashionable schools on the
outskirts of the city; the average
fashionable boarding-school type
daughters, doubtless, of the wealthy.
Some Of them wore helmet-shar-
ed affairs that would have frightened
Launcelot himself; others appeared
from certain views to be reckless,
the brims of their hats literally rest
ing on their shoulders; some seemed

hats or. stewing-kettles of Og, Cog,
and Magog; one had quite flower
like beauty, seen full face, but only
huge hat-crown and little bit of
chin in profile; and SO on and on.
Around their shoulders were draped
whole foxskins, or other animal
skins with dangling claws and open
or snarling mouths.
But noticeable as was the fashion
of their dress, there was something
even more uniformity noticeable
about them; their nervousness. II
was manifested in many different
ways; their voices, first of all. These
were high or loud, or hurried or IN

THE OBJECT.
UNJUST GO. CITIES PLAN
MING.

Recent developments throughout
The state indicate that still greater
light is to be waged against the
white plague in Iowa. tuberculosis
is coming to be regarded as. the
most destructive and wasteful dis
ease in the catalog Of preventable
naladies. 1t is now determined that
intelligent cooperative measures
shall be instituted by communities to
throttle this monster and effectually
restrict 1t. Indeed, many cities are
planning for the establishment OF
camps or retreats where advanced
consumptives can have adequate care
and treatment. The people are
awakening to the perilous situation.
They have found that the neglected,
uncared for person suffering With
tuberculosis, is great danger to the
entire neighborhood, that they can
no longer afford to be Indifferent to
the imminent danger which may be
found in most every community
throughout the state.
Nor is the establishment of suit
able hospital care for the consump-
tive class, the only consideration, but
many communities are arousing
themselves to the necessity for. prop
er medica supervision of the chill
dren in the public schools. That many
children are early infected with
tuberculosis is now well established.
This, is due to the fact that they
are low in vitality induced by some
physical defect perhaps, which
might be removed by competent med
ical supervision, Out Of gradual
ing class in one town in Iowa OF
about thousand inhabitants, three
members have already died OF tuber-
culosis and the fourth is in dying
condition. Naturally the people OF
that city are much agitated and are
studying the conditions which have
produced such fatal consequences.
Many other incidents could be writ
ten, perhaps not 50 bad as this but
full, OF tragedy nevertheless.
Economically considered, Iowa has
been sustaining an appalling loss
which her intelligence no longer can
endure. 3
A vigorous fight is being waged
again this year against the common
house fly, the most dangerous car
rier Of germs known in this lati-
tude. Cities and towns are making
war ON the fly as community prob
lem. 'Swat the fly" is the slogan,
but the best way to swat the fly Is
to clean up alleys and yards Of debris
and garbage and to remove the
Matching places. These hygentc pre-
cautions together with screened
houses, fly traps, fly poisons and fly
swatters, will make the campaign
against this pest most effective.

Parchment From Human skin.

II was a tradition OF the horror
stricken Scriptures Of "Old Gaul" that
the Able Rivas, attracted by the ex-
treme tenuity and smoothness OF the
leaves of Bible Of the thirteenth
century, became convinced that the.
satiny skin of beautiful woman had
furnished the parchment maker with
raw material for his unrivaled product.
In another instance, one Gayer de
sansale, a famous bibliothecaire OF the
College of the Sorbonne, at Paris, de-
c1ared that some one had dressed and
finished human skin to make the
parchment used for certain Decretals.

HDepends Upon You

1t is much to be desired that
those who are preparing some pro-
duct for the Kafir KOrn Karnival
at Liberal this fall, should make
the product the very best that can
be produced by extra care, cul-
tivation and attention. This dis
play of the products of Seward
County will be the means of ad-
vertising us to the world, and each
resident of the country should
consider that the success of the
display depends just as much up
on him as upon his neighbOr. The
effort is made to help no one in
particular, but for the good of
all. Funds will be provided to
show the people a good time, but
we want each one in the county to
be impressed with the idea that he
has his part in it, and owns just
as much of an interest IN it as any
one else. 1t will be a help to the peo-
pie of Liberal, and. The promoters
of it. if the people will come In
and talk to us about what they
will have to exhibit, and give US
the benefit of any suggestion that
will make for crater success. The
main thing is to get the display
ready by fall, and you will say
you are we'll paid for the effort.

A good many harvest hands are
passing through town these days
going further east to work, giving
as an excuse that they can get
more wages than is being offered
here. So far as we know no wage
scale has been adopted by the
farmers here, and we are quite
sure that they will pay as much
here as the farmers will pay any,
where else in the state. The men
who have no wheat should stay
here and help care for the harvest
of their neighbors. Aside from
the question of wages they owe it
to their home people at this time.
Stay here and help-you may need
it yourself next year.

ORGANIZED A SEWARD
COUNTY FAIR AS
SOCIATION
Energetic Citizens Of the eTown
and County Get Together
and Are Going to Make
the Proposition a Go

1t was not very large bunch, but
mighty enthusiastic bunch of cit
izens Of the town and county that
met In the Office Of J. w, Baughman
last Friday evening for the purpose of
starting fair association for Seward
county. T. w. Hubbard was elected
president and H. W. Magruder secre-
tary OF the temporary organization
which was effected, The proposition
was then fully and heartily discussed
and it was decided to have the fair.
The plan is t. have 1t in the form of
a CORPORATION, with capital stock of
$1,000. The following committee was
selected to solicit stock George Quin-
Ian, j. F, Funk, Carson Wright, C. M.
Light, and j. G. Ault This COM
mittee got out on the streets not SOON
er than Monday, and by Wednesday
evening they had sold stock to the
amount of $320OOO. This speaks well
for the tOwnsmen and we may be
proud of the showing made. Besides
what is actually collected, there are
several hundred dollars promised.
This Is good, wideawake and
mighty fine proposition for the town
to boost, and it behooves every cit
izen to help this along, not only in a
financial way, but by coming out to
the business meetings, making sug-
gestions for the betterment OF the
scheme and by boosting the thing
good and hard to your immediate cir
Gle of friends. Be alive--get an in-
terest--make your rightful influence
felt. BOOST.
1t is planned to Immediately spend
$1,000 in preparing the grounds, erect
ing stock barns and exhibit rooms,
and securing other necessary equip
nfent. ~ -'''
The fair grounds Will be on a plot
of ground just west Of the new addi-
tiOn being plated by the Light &
Stoufer real estate firm. G. M. Light
has offered the association a free
lease on this ground and it will be
the finest place imaginable for the
grounds.
The committee is offering shares at
$1,000 each, Buy at least one share
and you will be reimbursed in eight
different waVs. Seward county
should most assuredly have fair and
there is no reason why it can not.
This Friday night another meeting
will be held and it is hoped that
permanent organization may be form
ed. Come TO this meeting Mr. Mer-
chant and business man, it is to your
interest to have big fair here in The
coming city Of the great Southwest.
