How to Keep Well.
IRy chas. G. PerclvaI, M. d.

|armed strife among men ceases there
still will be the battle against dis
ease. The ceaseless struggle for q
few more years of health and life.
The foe is a desperate one who SO
far as victory over the individual
fighter is concerned is certain in the
end to win the battle against disease.
In the defense against disease two
things are necessary-a systematic
union of fighters, sanitary organiza-
ton, personal preparedness, all the
product Of intelligent and diligeat
personal hygiene. Personal prepare /
ness is the patriotic duty of every
citizen as an aid to NATIONAL sanitary
defense. No man as a member of So
ciety is morally free to live I'M
hygienically or to acquire disease
through lack Of personal care.
Health is a mans most valuable
possession. Without it he cannot hold
or enjoy anything else that falls to
his lot or that he wins in the battle
of life. Without health he is a burd-
en- to himself and an encumbrance to
others. AS victims Of life's Ill chance,
they are entitled to the most SYM
pathetic consideration, it Is a sad fact
that the sick cannot but be consider
ed as impediments in the conflict uf
existence. Wealth, position. friend
ship. ability to help others are large
ly discounted by physical inhrmity.
The health making attitude of mind
Is represented as a profitable talent
and fortunately one that can be easily
acquired. DR.. Eager calls attention
to the large available mass Of litera'
ture On health subjects-work, exer-
else. relaxation, sleep, fresh air, prop
err temperatures, food, cooking clean.
Illness. ETC., that should be judiciously
selected and studied. Every person
must learn for himself what peril
threatens in his special place in life.
Studies of health subjects in schools
and clubs, it's exposition in public lee
lures, newspaper articles and govern
ment bulletins, have the salutary tend
ency, it is stated. to promote whole
some practices as an habitual exercise
and develop the precious quality Of
automatically choosing in every action
and habit of life those courses that
conduce to bodily soundness.

MIA. While there trying to regain my
health discovered this wonderful Sea
Onion Compound which shall intro
duce In your city. #
THE Sea Onion Compound has
brought me the greatest part of my
success. 1t has done so because it
puts the stomach in working order
once more. and in vast majority of
cases. if this is accomplished, nature
will do the rest
Vurpillat believes the stomachs of
civilized nations are slowly degenerat-
ing from centuries OF abuse. He said
fifty or sixty percent OF all Americans
are in poor health, owing to weakened
digestive organs.
vurpillat claims that there would
be little sickness If we could eradicate
the chronic stomach trouble of the
present generation. In this connec-
ton he said further:
'1n the past I have given public
demonstrations of the power of one OF
my preparations to relieve deafness,
paralysis, rheumatism, stiff or swollen
joints. or any ache or pain in only
few moments time.
81 have done this for several years
and will continue to do so every even
ing during my stay here to any one
coming upon my platform"
Vurpillat stated to The Gate City
that he will begin his first series o.
free vaudeville entertainments and
lectures promptly at 1880 O'clock

The United States lost nearly a
billion dollars through illness among
it's wage earners last year, according
to the United States public health
service.
Not only was this loss in dollars
and cents to the wage earners them
selves but it was an economic loss to
the country. In addition the working
efficiency of the wage earners was
lowered Just SO much after the illness
and during the time of recuperation
from the illness.
Probably SO per cent of this loss or

GREEN BAY FARMERS
WORK SAVING STOCK
Rain Tuesday and Again Yesterday
Have Made Conditions in Skunk
Il River District Dangerous. r1

Ft Madison Democrat: The Green
Bay district along the course Of Skunk
river was still inundated Tuesday and
the rain Tuesday evening has aggre-
waited considerably the conditions
dangerous to crops. The farmers OF
the region have been busy the past
two or three days since the river
escaped from it's course getting their
stock out of the danger zone.
Several fields of oats and wheat
have been destroyed as far as thresh-
ing is concerned and some return for
the labor and work Of planting will be
no doubt derived. from the use of the
grain well considering the fact that
the farmers have not been able to get
into the fields enough to give 1t ado
uuate attention. Much corn Is nearly
smothered with weeds in some Sec
tions where the rain has been par
ticularly severe.
f., Crooked creek, in the central part
OF Hancock county, has overflowed It's
banks ana a vast amount Of damage
to crops along the course has resulted.
Whole fields Of small grain are e1the"
completely ruined, or those fields
which had been cut have been washed
away. 1t was sight to see bundles
and shocks of grain floating down the
stream. A large acreage of corn
fields were inundated and the damage
and loss will run into the thousands,
Tho water approached dangerously
near the high water mark Of june,
1905. which was the highest on record.

lions last fall, according to the 1916
assessment reports sent to the audi

then on the farms at s33.3S65,42S The
1915 report places the value of hogs
at $36,094,178. These are the asses
sors' reports and it is believed all
hogs are accounted for.

More Cattle HeAe.


Cattle increased in numbers also.
In 1914 there were 2,904,s95 head Of
cattle in the state, valued at $91.439,-
91S. The 1915 report shows 3,0S3,S2
head of cattle valued at s95,61O,970.
These values are for taxation pur-
poses only and do not represent the
true value Owing to the fact that
many counties have reduced values
of live stock, the executive council
will have the task of equalizing as
sessments between the counties to do
all over again.
The value of all live stock in Iowa
is reported by the assessors at $685.

creased armor. The navy's ex-
perts could have kept down the
armor and had greater speed, but
they decided that an additional
two or three knots an hour would
mean little advantage even in a
high-seas battle, with the present
long range guns, while they con-
sidered the armament more vital
ly important in the role of coast
defense. They claim also that
the advantage of the long range
gun is chiefly the flat trajectory
of its missile; that there would be
little advantage to an enemy ship
of the Queen Elizabeth type In the
fact that her guns outranged the
CALIFORNIA;, because when out of
range of the CALIFORNIA; guns
she would also be over the hori-
ION and couldn't even spot her
target.
Because of the heavy arma
ment. the increased efficiency, the
easy maneuvering, and the ar
rangements of the guns and tur-
rets of the California, which is
now being initiated abroad, our
new superdreadnaught may justly
be called, say the experts, the
worlds mightiest fighting ship!
