BEWARE OF LIVE WIRES.

Because every electric wire in

miles of high voltage transmission
! lines, is a possible source of danger

State college is sending out 5000 IL

structions for resuscitation in case OF
accident in statewide safety first"
electricity campaign.
Scarcely a town in Iowa has not
had an accident in recent years. FIRE.
quent accidents are reported along
the interurban and high power lines.
Every storm means danger, with
breaking of wires, short circuits.
burned out transformers, weak insu-
lations. Guy wires may become con-
nected, even house light and tele-
phone wires may unexpectedly be-
come charged with a high voltage
sufficient to kill. With transmission
lines carrying from $4,000 down to
500 volts, these sources of danger
have been greatly multiplied.
Never touch a victim of electric
shock with the bare hands but first
get some dry insulating material. as
a coat or a piece of rope, is the ad-
vice Of the safety first" placards.
Saving a victim of shock is q matter
of seconds, sometimes, and instruc-
tons are given to begin artificial res
piration Immediately, without loosen
ing the clothing. Men are frequently
brought back to life after two hours
working on them, and artificial res
piration must not be stopped until the
victim is pronounced dead by physi-
clan.
The placards will be sent to high
schools, telephone and lighting COM
panies and public utilities, also to
manufacturers, business men or other
persons who may ask for them.
School authorities will be asked to CO.

Lime Treatment
i'm tuberculosis

In the May %. 1912, issue of the
Journn al of the American Medical As
socintiOn appeared this statement
concerning calcium Iime) medical
ton in the treatment OF pulmonary
Tuberculosis tcOnsumption):
"Undcr the systematic, continued
and persistent regime of calcium
ansfm flnfiOO, Van isiesOn has seen n
number of his patients improve, TN
sOlidatiOn in the lung, which then re-
solving would appear to contribute
to the wal1lnE of and closing of the
LESSONS. Hand in hand with this
course of events. the sputum clears
up of tubercle bacilIi. which finally
disappear, and the patients are dis
charged with healed pulmonary fu-
berculOsis."
Ethical medical journals seldom
speak so positively about a remedial
agent, yet this testimony comedies
who have secured like results
through the use of Eckman's Altera-
tive.
Since calcium is a constituent of
this remedy for pulmonary tubercu-
losis and allied throat and bronchial
affections, its healing power may in
some measure be attributed to the
manner in which this element is so
com bined with other ingredients as
to be easily assinilated by the aver
age person and 1T does not irritate
the stomach.
Eckman's Alternative contains no
opiates, narcotics or habit-forming
drugs. so it is safe to try. If your
druggist is out of it, ask him to
order. or send direct to

ing Post.l
NEW YORK, June 9.-As always
happens in the case of over night
news whose real significance people
find it difficult to grasp, the eyes of
the whole community were turned to
the stock exchange at 10 a. m. today
to see what Judgment would be
passed by it's opening prices on Mr..
Bryan's resignation. An immediate
decline of IL to / point in the stand
ard investment shares and 1 to AZ in
the speculative industrials marked
the first transactions.
This decline ran its course in five
minutes; it was followed by active
buying under which most or all of
the opening losses were recovered
After pause. the selling was re-
sumed and prices went below yester-
day again. But activity once more
slackened at tthe lower level, with
net declines ranging from " to 2
points.
Taken by itself, organs removal
from the office of figurehead in the
state department was regarded nth
unqualified qualification. Wall street
has not been so ill-informed as to
imagine that the secretary was per-
forming any serious function in di-
recting our foreign relations.

WHO ROCKS THE BOAT?


WHO ROCKS THE BOAT?
We are now on storm tossed, ugly
sea,
With the war waves all around us,
With some who would like to blow us
And some who would like to ground
us.
But the flag is there and the nations
all right,
However some want to knock it;
There's splashing spray from the
waves, but say,
Sit still in the boat. Don't rock it,
The Lord only knows where we're go
ing to land,
And thus far he hasn't told US
But we are not sailing the seas for
blood,
And the strength of our right will
Still, none can deny that the water is
rough,
And nothing that's offered can
block it,
The mad waves play round US. but
say,
Sit still in the boat, Don't rock it!

BRYAN,s RESIGNATION.

| The retirement of William Jennings
/ Bryan from President Wilson's cabi
net was expected The secretary Of
| state has not been in accord with the
| foreign policies of the administration
| and the break was over the German
note which Bryan expects will close
diplomatic relations with Berlin.
There has been more or less criticism
of Secretary Bryan ever since his APP
pointment to the cabinet. Some peo-
pie We're of the opinion that he was
not large enough man for the place
and that the actual work Of the office
was performed by subordinate. This
feeling was given some support by
the frequent absence of the secretary
from his Office during critical periods
involving the Mexican and other dis
putes. Bryan is man who has strong
convictions, strong friends and strong
enemies. His resignation is looked
upon acknowledgements largely on
the opinions one has formed during
his long political and public career
The propriety OF retiring from the
cabinet just at this particular time is
debatable. He must have possessed a
strong feeling or he would not have
done so-having been responsible fori
the nomination of Wilson No matter
what the people think about it they
all admit that Bryan can make more !
money on the chautauqua platform !
than he can in presidential cabinet, |
and there is a very general opinion |
hat that is his place. The disagree
nent, however, between Bryan and /
Wilson, will start all kinds of politi-
al speculation and one of the most
common visions sees Bryan the demo-
candidate for the
