CLASS WILL BE INCREASED

Prof ]. w. Leach, who has been
coming from Atlantic Mondays and
Fridays of each week teaching class
of students in voice culture, closes
the old year this week under most
favorable auspices. His class in Au-
dubon will be considerably larger be-
ginning with next week, and it may
be possible that he will be compelled
to spend more time here. Prof. Leach
studied abroad for several years, and
is conceded to be one of the best in
structors in the profession. For many
years he was connected with the lead
ing colleges of the state. Audubon
is indeed fortunate in being able to
secure the services of Prof. Leach,
for in many cities and towns students
are compelled to go distance of sew
eral hundred miles while in Audubon
the best is brought right to our very
doors. Those of our citizens who are
interested in voice training should
give Prof. Leach every possible bit
of encouragement, for he is deserv-
ing and in every way qualified. 1t
is seldom that towns the size of Au-
dubon have the opportunity of study
ing under a person with the quail
fcations that Prof. Leach possesses.

a short time that I accepted the Of

dropped into a chair while she talked.

"How much does he weigh now?"
"Only 10 pounds, and you know he
weighed seven pounds when he was

HE certainly is under weight at
least four pounds. / remember the

double its weight in six months and
he is nearly as old as Billy"

done everything that can be done and
he won't get fat. l guess he inherits

'No, Janet, don't believe that. l

baby. He is thin because he don't

Eyes, you feed him but he don't

mo, they don't eat solids but my

SOLDIERS WILL BE
ALLOWED TO KEEP CLOTHES

The soldiers of the First Iowa in
fantry now at Fort Des Moines await
ing muster out of the federal service,
will Immediately drop back into the
Iowa national guard when released
from the federal force, Adj. Gen.
Guy e. Logan said at Des Moines
Tuesday.
AS national guard troops the men
will proceed to home stations under
command of their captains, wearing
ing and taking all equipment with
them, Logan says.
1.-THE Iowa soldiers will not be de-
prived of their uniforms and clothing
on being mustered out of federal SER
vice.
1.-THE men will wear their military
clothing to their home stations. They
will be part of the national guard
and their standing will be the same
as before the regiments modified for
Mexico duty. Each man will have
his uniform and equipment and other
clothing"
1t is not the custom to wear mill
tary uniform when not on duty, the
Iowa military department says
The men when they return to their
home will be expected to resume civ
ilian's clothing. Men who are with
out clothing and will require some
time to make purchases or earn the
cash necessary, may give a receipt
to their captain for their military un-
form and continue to wear it until
such time as they are supplied with
civilians clothing.
Mothers of some of the men of
the First regiment telephoned Ad-
jutant General Logan asking IL they
should send clothing for their sons.
The mothers feared the government
would turn the returning soldiers
out in the cold with nothing whatever
| to wear.

SCIENCE - INVENTION.
Making Wrought Iron.

In pudding the pig iron is melted Oh
a bed Of iron ore which gives up part
of its oxygen to oxidize the carbon,
silicon and manganese and to a less
extent the sulphur and phosphorus.
The greater the purity Of irDn the high
er the temperature at which it melts.
Therefore the metal in ~the.6urnace be-
comes pasty after a time as the i'm
purities are burned out and is worked
into a ball and removed. This ball is
rolled into bars of convenient size,
which are cut and piled up, then re-
heated to a welding temperature and
rolled again into a bar of the desired
dimensions. Wrought iron produced In
this n Is a very pure article, the
greatest and most Objectionable part
Of the impurities being the Stag, which
is scattered all through the metal and
gives it the apparently fbrous structure
so characteristic of its appearance aft
er rolling. These fine Stag lines are
easily detected and form a ready means
of distinguishing between wrought iron
and that produced by other methods.
1t is only necessary to smooth down a
small spot with a file, when the lines
will show up; best, under a magnifying
glass.-Engineering Magazine.

How to Get Efficiency.

Here is some advice to the tired
business man. If you are not getting
efficiency from your typist don't can"
her, but get some music. This will
speed up tired typewriter performers.
The idea is suggested by the man7
ager of a business college. says the
New York correspondent of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. He claims that he
gets better work from his students
when he turns OF the monograph and
1t plays some lively foxtrot. And
now the crafty employers here arc
thinking Of putting the suggestion in
action. The scheme is to turn loose
a lively record on a talking machine.
the lively strain offsetting the tired
strain under which the typewriter op.:
orator is laboring. The moment the
weary worker hears the ~invigorating
sound she strikes her key on the type
writer, and then all Of the keys. Some
body has observed that the modern
dances do not confine the action to
the feet. No. the shoulders, elbows
and arms all have a chance to move.
Every step forward is welcomed by
progressive business men, 90 why not
one.steps?
