TAKING MEDICINE.
There Are Many Ways of Doing II, but
Only One Right Way.

Take n fluid remedy FROM a medicine
glass or from Il silver spoon. Chemical
action of some liquids upon brass
creates IL liquid that would be fatal IL
taken into the stomach. A good rule
Is never to take medicine from any
thing made of the coIrser metals.
While pouring the medicine from
bottle to spoon or cup hold the bottle
so that the label is uppermost. This
will prevent the medicine pouring over
the label and staining IL not obliterat-
ing 1t. This ~precaution. especially in
the case of liquids that might be harm
full IL taken by mistake or in the
wrong quantity. is imperative.
Unless directions require you TO take
medicines full strength. it is better to
dilute them half and half with water.
Never take doses larger than those
specified I'm the directions Better that
they be smaller.
Under no circumstances take medi-
cine in the dark. The reason is OBJ
vious. Read the frequent news OF
deaths Of persons who have taken
poisons by mistake.
Be sure never to pour medicine back
into the bottle. Never fail to shake
the bottle before taking a dose OF the
contents. IL there be any sign of sedi-
ment, shake the more.
Unless directed otherwise you would
better take all capsules. pills or tab
lets with q half glass of water.
Never use a liniment near an open
fame. for a liniment usually contains
some combustible element. Always
rub a1iniment into the skin until 1t Is
nearly dry. y
Be sure to brush the teeth after TAX
ing medicine, since many medicines
contain acids or iron, both OF which
are injurious to the teeth.
Keep ~effervescent medicines In a cool
place.-New York American.

The arrest was made on the com.
plant of Newton N. George OF Man.
kato. travelling salesman for an oil
company.
Jenkins recently induced George
to insure against accident I'm the
North American Life Insurance COM
pany. AS agent for that company
jenkins obtained from George an
application for an insurance policy
and five dollars, the understanding
being that Jenkins was to pay back
the five dollars to George, In case
the company refused to issue the
policy. The policy was refused and
George demanded back his five dol
lars.
Claims Money Was Not Paid.
George in complaining to the au-
thorities stated that the money was
never paid back to him, although it
was on April 4 that he filed the
application and IL was agreed that
he should have back his money
within twenty days, IL the insurance
policy was not granted.
jenkins said he had mailed George
a check for five dollars and sup
posed he had received 1t. How
ever, he expressed a willingness to
pay five dollars to George and also
to pay the costs of the case rather
than have any trouble about the
matter. This was done, but the
"a was not dismissed yesterday,
but merely passed, the Judge wish
ing to consult with the county at
torney and investigate a little
farther.
Jenkins Came Alone.
Jenkins was notified by Sheriff
osten late yesterday from Mankato
over the long distance telephone
that there was a warrant for his
arrest. Jenkins seemed very much
surprised and said he would take
the next train for Mankato to settle
the affair up. He kept his word and
no officer was sent after him. He
was allowed yesterday to go on his
own recognizance.
Jenkins had no record i'm any stub
book or elsewhere, showing that he
had drawn the check in favor of
George. He said he had merely
used a counter check for the pur-
pose.

From Tuesdays OaIfy

FEOTU uSoudJ SdHF
County Attorney j. W. Schmitt
gives an entirely different version OF
the causes that led to the dismissal
of o. c. Bowman, former traffic Of
ficer on the Madison Lake road, from
that given by Mr.. Bowman himself.
Mr.. Schmitt said to a Free Press
representative today
Soon after Bowman had been put
on the job, the report came to me
that he had been drinking. Then 1t
was reported to me that he had stop
ped that man Gregg, on the highway,
and claimed that he had been speed
ing or racing. Gregg had his wife and
some children with him in his car.
When Bowman signaled to Gregg
to stop, and even after that, he
pulled out his pistol and flashed 1t in
their faces, pointed II at them, and
frightened Mrs. Gregg seriously.
All this was reported to me by
Gregg's attorney, S. B. Wilson, and
Mr.. Wilson asked for a warrant for
Bowman's arrest. ! told MIR. Wilson
that Bowman's month would be up
after about a week or ten days and
! also told him that IL the report that
Bowman had done this was verified,
| would let him go after his month
was up, inasmuch as IL had been
reported to me that he had been
drinking.
Il verified the report and ascertain
ed the further fact that Gregg was
not speeding, and then | called Bow
mans attention to 1t. He denied II
the same as he denied that he had
been drinking, and then | told him l
did not think we could use him any
longer than that month.
"Then on the fourteenth or If
teenth of August, the only night I
eyer drove my car while he was traf-
fe officer, | drove out from here
to Madison Lake to see IL he was or
duty. This was between five and six
o'clock. I considered that was an
important time for him to be there.
He was nowhere to be seen. When !
saw him Monday morning, the seven
teenth, I caused him to be paid off,
and disposed of his services. ! told
him further that from that time IN
the county board would probably
want to put a man on who would
| do some work on the road"
