Origin Of stammsrino.
A new theory as to the origin Of
stammering is set forth by c. s. Blue
mel in a book on that subject 1t Is
usually said that stammering Is due to
spasm or to incoordination Of muscles.
but this Is no explanation, as 1t does
not tell what Use the spasm Ut the
incoordination. According to Mr.. Blue
mel. stammering is the result Of tran

Of the sound Of words-which produces
the secondary conditions Of mental
confusion and fear. these being inten-
si8ed In ONE cases by autosuggestion.

effects remain as acquired habits.

The Care Of Porch Floors.
~ ssTs hEE n

The best way for cleaning porch
floors in the fall or early winter is Il
question that taxes the patience of mis-
tress and maid alike. Mistress insists,
and maid objects. Each is right.
Fortunately there is /, way to clean
floors that will solve this problem of
the mistress and maid to the satisfac-
ton Of each. Make Il strong solution
Of soap and very hot water. Have the
water at II temperature Of mt least lSC
degrees +. Hot water in the fall OF
winter is necessary because cold water
freezes and produces icy steps and
floors. Then With the aid Of good
mop go over the porch floor rapidly.
Use plenty of hot water and wipe the
floor well. Go over it quickly. The
hot suds will take up the dirt. Start
at the farther end Of the porch and
back up toward the steps SO us to
avoid tracking up the cleaned floor.
A good mop wringer will not only
save time, but will save the hands
temper and energy. 1t will cause a
more even distribution Of the moisture
and allow sculding water. which Is sc
desirable because more cleansing, to
be more freely used. ,

Kiron, May 2O-(Special to the Re-
view)-The laying of the corner stone
of the new Mission church took place
on last Friday afternoon. The wealth
err being most ideal, quite a number

and after a song service, his father,
F.. L. Johnson, read scripture les
son and offered prayer. Rev. F. o.

ion AT the close he concluded with
the we'll wishes and blessings of God
over the church and its work and its
energetic pastor.
The stone was put in place by Joe

members of the church to witness the
corner stone laid for their new home
where they can gather to worship God
and to which they can invite all who
wish to meet with them and partici-
pate in the services. While the pro-
gram was brief and simple and free
from all boastful and eXalting,; selfish
spirit. it left an impression that will
long be pleasingly remembered by all
present. The dedication event is
looked forward to with expectancy OF
being a point in the church history

TRUE CHRISTIAN
LlFEISENDED
Miss TiIda Linman, Of Near kiron,
Passes to the Great Beyond
Last Sunday Morning.
CANCER THE CAUSE OF DEATH
Of Quiet and Reserved Nature, Miss
Lnman Possessed Many Quail
tiles and Had Many Friends

Kiron. May 2O-(Special to the Re-
view)-On last Sunday morning at
O'Clock, at the home of Victor Lin
mans, eleven miles northeast OF kiron
occurred the death of Tilda Linman.
| For several months she has been fail-
| ing in health and the last few weeks
she was obliged to spend in bed, grad
ually growing weaker, until on Sun
day morning her longing spirit was
released from its earthly tabernacle
and winged its way to the prepared
room in the heavenly mansion. She
was ready and willing to go; the sum
mons of death was no dread to her.
as she had made her peace with God
and with the Savior who had CON
0uered death and the grave.
She was born in Lindkoping ian
Sweden, Aug. 4, 1S43. In the year 1869,
together with the family, she came
to America and short stay was spent
in the state Of Illinois, and from there
she came to Iowa, where, after sew
Ell weeks stay at Dayton, they locat-
ed in Kiron. She remained on the old
homestead two miles north of kiron
With her parents and after their
death has made her home with her
brother, Victor, and family up TO the
time of her death. Some twelve years
ago she, together with the family OF
Victor Liuman, moved off the Old
homestead onto the present home
northwest of town, where her last
days were spent. Her death was
caused by an internal cancerous
growth and from which no relief or
cure could be given by skilled and
deficient medical aid. She leaves two
brothers, Victor residing in Ida coun-
ty, and August, who resides near
kiron, and one sister, Mrs. August
Lindgren, also residing in Ida county.
BESIDES these number of nepheWs,
nieces and other relatives and friends
are left to mourn her death. She had
attained the good old age Of 20 years,
. months and IL days. Burial will be
made on Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock from the home, conducted by
Rev. Irwin Johnson, of Kiron. Her
remains will be laid to rest in the Ida
county cemetery.
Tilda was a woman of a quiet and
reserved nature, bearing the good will
and esteem of all who knew her. She
lived an eXemplified life and a true
christian, member of the Free Miss
ion church at Kiron. While she will
be missed from the ranks of her
friends and from the family circle,
they are consoled and glad to know
that she has won in life's battles and
reached the portals to the home be.
