Getting a Good Education.

How often we hear fathers and
mothers make the remark that 1--WE
want our children to get a good edu-
cation so they can make a good liv-
ing and not have to work so hard as
we have right in the presence Of
the children to whom they refer says
the Britt Tribune. 1t would be
better to teach the young that no
matter how much education they
possess it is only through hard work
and persistent endeavor that men
and women rise to position and pow
er in the world. 1t Is the assertion
quoted above that is responsible
for so many of the boys leaving the
farm today; their parents instilling
in their minds from childhood that
they must learn to get along with
out so much hard work as has been
necessary for them. Many people
believe that banker does not have
to work hard, but let those who are
SO inclined go into bank and spend
one year and they will surely change
their minds. This is only an illus
tration and what is true in the bank
is also true in the store, the office,
the profession and on the farm. Let
us teach the young man and the
woman that there is no disgrace in
hard work and that If they would
succeed in whatever line of endea-
vor they choose they can only do
so by applying themselves and work
ing hard. 1t is true that through ed
ucation things can be accomplished
easir, but nevertheless education and
hard work must go hand in hand.

Circus Ball Team Wins.

There was some ball game at the
fair grounds last Sunday, when John
Evenson's husky warriors met the
Sparks circus aggregation of ball
tossers. Paul Riggs started the game
for DEBORAH in the pitchers box,
but he got through in about the
fifth inning after some ten or twelve
runs were registered against him.
Then United States EXpressman
Bloomfield went to his relief.
Somehow the circus men liked
Bloomfield's curves and inshoots, in
fact they ate them right up, and the
fielders were so tired out chasing the
ball, that some of them were al
most unable to attend the circus the
next day. The circus twirler was
good, and had our boys at his mercy
most of the time. When the scores
were counted up the circus boys had
II to their credit and DEBORAH had
5.

Enjoyed Big Business.

Monday was a banner business
day for the Ben Bear clothing store.
The large crowd in for the circus
bought freely, and Mr.. Bear enjoyed
an immense business from the circus
people. They bought freely of differ
ent things in the clothing and fur
nishing line, anu were surprised and
pleased at the low prices quoted
them on everything. They told Mr..
Bear that his prices were % to so
per cent lower than any other city
they had visited, and it was especial
ly noticeable on such high grade
goods too. Just now the big store
is inaagurating an immense June
sale, and hundreds of customers are
supplying their wants right now in
all lines. The sale will continue
throughout the month.

PROMINENT DOCTORS MEET.
Winneshiek County Medical Society
Entertained Large Number
Prominent Physicians and
Surgeons Thursday.

Never in the history of DEBORAH
has so many prominent medical men
gathered here as on last Thursday.
1t was the annual meeting of the
Northeastern Iowa Medical Society.
At two p. m, when the meeting was
called, forty-two doctors were pres
ent Some of the visiting doctors
present were Dr. j. w. Cokenower,
specialist on orthopedic surgery from
Des Moines, and DR.. ]. r. Guthrie,
Dean of Iowa University of Surgery.
Both of these gentlemen rendered
admirable papers.
The paper of DR.. Guthrie dealt
with conditions following surgical
operations, which if not recognized,
renders the patient hazardous. He
handled his subject with an ease and
security which only comes to those
who are masters of their science.
Dr. Harris, of Prairie du CHEN,
read paper on Flat Feet" with
demonstrations by plaster casts and
drawings, which showed he thor
oughly understood his subject.
DR.. A. ]. Swezey read a very wor-
thy tribute to our late DR.. p. NJ.
Jewell, and DR.. Paul Gardner, of New
Hampton read tribute to the late
DR.. Ira X. Gardner of that place
DR.. Hennessy, an obituary to the
late DR.. E. NJ. Helm of Calmar.
The meeting closed with a most
enjoyable $50 dinner at the Win
neshiek hotel, rendered by the doc
tors of the Winneshiek County Medi-
cal Society.
At the election of officers DR.. A.
j. Swezey, of DEBORAH, was chosen
president for the ensuing year, by a
unanimous vote, with a few we'll
chosen remarks by the retiring presi-
dent, DR.. Geo. Kessel, of Cresco.
DR.. Swezey was escorted to the
chair amid much hand clapping and
cheering of every one present.
The next meeting will be held at
Calmar in October We enjoyed the
doctors little stay in our city and
will surely extend them hearty
welcome if they return next year.
DEBORAH likes good things. Come
again.

DEATH COMES QUICKLY.
Ralph Simmons Succumbs 10 Opera
ton for Appendicitis.

The uncertainty of life was vivid
ly illustrated this week by the sud-
den demise of young Ralph Simmons.
Last Wednesday he felt indisposed
but was able to ride to town and
back on his bicycle that evening.
Thursday he felt worse and stayed
in bed. On Friday his uncle d. S.
Simmons, for whom he worked,
brought him to town in his car for
medical aid. He was found suffer
ing with very acute attack of APP
pendicitis and taken to Prairie du
Chen hospital for operation. Sunday
night at II o'clock his spirit passed
into the realms beyond. Thus, so
suddenly, is brought to an end the
career of promising Viola lad.
Ralph Revis Simmons, son of DR..
w. H. and Jennie Kelly Simmons
was born in DEBORAH, Iowa, May
%, 1895. When a mouth old he
was deprived of a mother by her I'M
timely death. Eight years later his
father died in Louisiana. Ralph
has been lovingly cared for from in
fancy by his maternal grandmother,
Mrs. Mary West At the age of six
he came to Viola and has lived in
this neighborhood ever since. A stu
dent in our schools, had he lived he
would have been a member of the
Sophomore class in the High School
this fall but the Infinite Wisdom
above decreed otherwise.
In April 1912 Ralph Simmons
united with the Methodist Episcopal
church of Viola and continued a
faithful member until transferred to
the Church Triumphant. AS a Sun
day School attendant he was rarely
absent and also was devoted to the
work of the Erworth League. In
school and church life he will be
sorely missed but most of all will
his cheerful presence be missed in
his home.
In the house left lonesome by his
departure Mr. and Mrs. C. West are
disconsolate. He is also deeply
mourned by his grandmother Mrs.
Mary simmons; by his uncle, Bert,
d. s., Roy, George and S. A. Sim
mons; and Frank Kelly; by his
aunt Mrs. Bertha Bliss and his step
mother Mrs. w. II. Simmons of De-
corah, Iowa. To them we could add
host OF names of people who are in
deep grief through this and bereave-
ment AT the funeral services held
last Tuesday morning at the West
home in Viola there was scarcely a
dry eye to be seen. The casket was
covered with flowers, mute witness
es to the esteem in which he was
held by the entire village. The
remains were conveyed to DEBORAH,
Iowa for interment beside those of
his mother.-Viola, Wis, News.

ABOUT WATER.

Most of us realize the Importance
of pure water when we can't get any.
But ordinarily we never give it a
thought.
Do you know, for instance that
seventy-five per cent of the carcass
you carry around when you put on
your clothes in the morning is water?
That, assuming the scales register
you at $50 pounds, 113 of those
pounds would go up in steam If
you should happen to get to a GER
tain very hot place?
Well, that's a fact. A man is al
most as well watered as some rail-
roads. And here's another fact:
Just to keep the mixture in you at
the right degree of fiuidity, just to
make up for the body's evaporation
and leakage through discharges, you
need, every day, to take into you,
through food and drink, an once of
water for every pound and seven
tenths that you weigh.
Say you weigh $50 pounds. This
means that you need a daily water
dosage of more than half gallon
simply to keep from becoming crusty
and dusty.
But there's one fine thing about
water as a beverage; you don't need
to be afraid of an overdose. 1t cleans
the 'innerds" as a rainfall f1ushes
q sewer-so don't be afraid to &c
to it heartily and often.
Here's looking at you!

Old Settlers Picnic.

The annual old settlers picnic at
Burr Oak will take place this year
on June 18th. 1t has always been
customary to hold the Picnic on
June goth, but as that date falls on
Saturday, it was decided to hold the
festivities on Friday, because much
larger crowd would be able to attend.
A fine program is under way, and
with good weather prevailing, an
immense crowd will visit the hust-
ling little city.

KITCHEN KINKS.

A bag of salt standing where
there is a smell of fish will absorb
the aroma.
Before scaling fish dip them in
boiling water an instant. They will
scale much more easily.
Put one saltspoon of carbonate of
soda in the water in which cabbage
is boiled. 1t preserves the color
and lessons the unpleasant odor
while boiling.
If you do not possess vacuum
cleaner do not despair. Use the chill
dren's bicycle pump to clean radiat-
ors, tufted furniture or sewing ma
chine.
Lemons may be kept a long time
without becoming dry if put into a
jar of water with aid. The water
should be changed once a week if
the lemons are to be kept long. When
used they will be quite as firm as
when fresh, and if anything, more
juicy.
To ascertain whether a room is
damp or not, place a weighed quanti-
ty of fresh lime in an open vessel in
the room and leave it there for TWEEN
ty-four hours, carefully closing the
windows and doors. At the end of
the twenty-four hours re-weigh the
lime, and if the increase exceeds one
per cent of the original weight it
is not safe to live in the room.
