him that good rod would do all the

"but properly roddcd house may be
struck several times without injury,
whereas a single stroke without the
protection afforded by the rods may
cause disaster
Secretary Houston, gives this adj
vice in the weekly letter to crop
correspondents, issued under his direc-
ton. He advises farmers and others
who want to know anything more on
the subject of lightning rods to send
for Farmers Bulletin No. 367, which
department scientists agree is the

Edward +. Rcgcnhardt, United

Taft dubbed the Lighthouse Of Cane
Girardeau," dropped down to the
Cape from st. Louis few DAYS ago
to cool off, and he did it.
The change in the temperature
caused the marshal to be seized with
a chill, and he is now confined TO
his bed in an effort to get warm
Mr.. Regcnhardt reached Cape Girar-
dcau Sunday, and he made no effort
to hide the fact that he was in search
of cool spot. He found one that
he thought was all he was looking for.
and he removed his hat and took A
seat
He soon discovered that the air
was cooler than he had contracted
for, and he started to look for a
stove. Before he could locate a rise
in the temperature, he got on the
outside of some ice cream, and the heat
in his system dropped almost TO
freezing.
He has been trying to get warm
ever since, and yesterday he was
seized with chill. He will spend
several days in an effort to warm
up before returning to st. Louis,
his physician said.
