Spent Week at Waterloo.

Henry Rud, junior member of the
firm of Rud Bros, the well known
local agents for Overland automo-
biles, spent last week in Waterloo
posting up on the fine points of stor-
age battery repairing. Last We'd
nesday night he had the exciting eX-
perience of being routed out of the
Martens Hotel by the cry of fire.
Most of the guests departed from
the hotel scantily clad, but the fire
was not of serious origin, and they
managed to get back to their rooms
in short time. A pile of paper in
the basement had caught fire and as
a result smoke was distributed all
through the hotel.

BAND TO PACIFIC COAST.
Luther College Concert Band Will
Go to San Francisco
Exposition.

The Luther College Concert Bant
lis again making preparations for q
trip. This proposed trip will be tc
the Pacific coast, where the band will
play at the Worlds Exposition. This
band which established a wonderful
reputation for itself last summer on
its European trip will go to the ex-
position with an invitation not only
from the leading business men OF
San Francisco but also from the
President.
One day at the exposition has been
set aside for the Norwegians which
will be called Pageant Day. On this
day it has been proposed to produce
the history of Norway.
This will date from the earliest
days and is in the hands of the Nor
wegian Auxiliary who have contri-
buted to Norway's exhibit One fea-
ture of the day is the march of 49,
600 horses with the l.. c. G. B. lead
ing the procession. This procession
will represent the history of Nor
way at Harold Haarfaeres'' time.
If the proposed trip is carried out
the band will remain out at the coast
for month, where most of it's time
will be engaged playing at the ex-
position. After their big finale con-
cert at San Francisco the band will
return east and tour the middle
states.
This tour was made possible only
by the interest shown by the San
Francisco business men in the band.
They furnished all the financial back
ing necessary for the big trip and
most of the men interested are men,
bers of the exposition board.
A hospital benefit concert will be
given Mar. 10 at the Grand opera
house. The program will undoubt-
eddy contain several of the following
which they nave been practicing on
for some time. The Unfinished SYM
phony' by Schubet, iii Travatore''
from Verde's Opera, "Fira Diavolo

ANNOUNCEMENT.

In accordance with ethical custom
nounce my coming among you for the
practice of medicine and surgery.
In making my bow to the people
of DEBORAH and vicinity, | first wish
to extend my good will to the medi-
cal fraternity and trust that they
will accept me with the same feeling
of fellowship that | have for them.
l come to you with twenty (20)
years experience. During the years
1913 and 1914 / gained very valu-
able experience serving as post
graduate inferno to well-known
college hospital of Chicago; a posi-
ton which is very desirable, much
sought for and very hard to obtain.
This has given me the most up-to-
date methods in medicine, surgery
and laboratory diagnosis.
Diagnosis is no longer a matter of
symptoms alone, but much of it, and
the most vital part, is reduced to an
exact science.
The microscope has revolutionized
the practice of the healing art. 1t
has not only rendered diagnosis an
exact science, but has revealed the
cause and presence of many hitherto
battling diseases and has led to a
means of cure. The germ theory is
no longer theory but a scientific
fact. Blood counting is a most valu
able factor m diagnosis. Chemical
ANALYSIS, together with the microsco-
pic findings is now matter of neces-
sity for the best work and results
in cure and prevention.
Preventive medicine is the mob
lest of scientific effort. The great
men of the profession are bending
ievery effort toward prevention as
well as cure of disease.
\ While | am able to do your sur
gerry shall not give up general
practice.
| am located in the Office formerly
occupied by DR.. Daubney and shall
be pleased TO receive YOU there and
give my best advice and treatment.
Inviting a share of the business,
beg to be Yours truly,

There Is a number of pretty and
simple styles In coiffures that are to
be recommended to youthful wearers,
and to everyone else to whom the
palmer arrangements of the hair are
becoming. The hair in nearly all of
them is unwaved, but IL 1t have. nat
ural ripple so much the better for the
couture.
Most demure, and a favorite with
artists, the couture in which the single
parting divides the hair over the mid
die of the forehead Is among the re.
vivals that have come along with wide
skirts and poke bonnets. In this Golf
fure the ears are covered and the
back hair arranged low and close to
the head. This is modified, when the
hair is straight, by pinning 1t In waves
or fluctuations about the face, with
small invisible wire pins, and wearing
a plain band of velvet ribbon about the
head to help keep the hair in place.
Sometimes the back hair is arranged
in small "chignon" at the base of
the crown.
Rather boyish-looking Is hairdress
In which the hair is combed straight

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
It Is true that nature and woman's
work mas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
her'5 of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
fo: : years ago, gave to womankind
:. aedy for their peculiar ills which
ha' rroved more efficacious than any
otl combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds Of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health-many Of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

MASON AND DIXON'S LINE"
Popular MIsapprehension as to Mean
Ing Of Term and Just What the
Phrase Implied.

Very incorrect is the general belief
that Mason and Dixon's line, as orig
inally laid of, divided the slave-hold-
Ing states from the free states. On
the contrary, 1t ran for one-third Of
its whole length between Maryland
and Delaware, both Of which were
slave-holding states at the time. The
line was run purely to settle bound
airy dispute between Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware.
All the same, the actual Mason and
Dixon's line was as much synonym
for trouble and dissension in its day
as was the figure of speech to which
in after years 1t gave rise. And the
phrase will hold bitter meaning to
some until Tin that looked-for day Of
charity to all mem shall be fulfilled

that when the people of the South
and the North get together they will
forget there was ever Mason and
Dixon's line."-Southern Woman's

Famous Feats Of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was

Just the headwear for such gown

crepe georgette and trimmed with a

ends of broad black velvet ribbon.
Half blown garden roses, in natural
pink shadings, glow wildly against
the rich black of the velvet girdle, and
the airy tulle gives the requisite light
ness. Two roses are tied with spray
of their foliage into the streamers at
the back Of the bonnet, one near the
waist line and one not far from the

Something of olden times is ex-

that such heat penetrated two inches

rrREEs are sgirdled for the ipur-
pose Of killing them. 1t'has
often'been observed. however,
that not all trees die Immediately
after they are girdied, but some
times continue to liveIfor a number
of years. This is true particularly
with young, thrifty trees havingilit-
tleeor no heart wood.
Large trees with thin sapwood
will die at once Il the latter, is COM

on the basis that the heartwood ID

Is the life Of the tree, because Il
serves as the passageway for the
