Balloon to the Ground.

Clinton, Ia, July 10.-C. A.
Chandler, an aeronaut of Indianapolis
while making an ascension at Sterl-
ing, ILL.,, fell $50 feet from a huge
gas balloon. He suffered only minor
injuries.
Chandler, was attempting to make
a spectacular double parachute drop,
the second parachute did not open
and the thousands of spectators
were dumb with horror when they
saw the performer plunge head
downward to the earth.
Part of his apparatus struck a
show wagon which broke the fall and
Chandler alighted on his feet with
only the tendons of his leg muscles
and feet badly sprained.

Waukon Has Rest Room,

In a very quiet and unostentaticus
manner the city authorities have FL
ted up and furnished a rest room : n
ladies, in the city hall, and it has
been ready for use for some time.
Those for whose benefit it was as
tablished have made but little use q
it as yet as but very few know OF its
existence.
The room is located in the south
western corner Of the city hall, and is
entered by the first door after vel
turn east from Allamakee street.
The room is small but very cozy aid
neat in appearance just now. The
floor is covered with a rug and the
furniture is of old mission style, cen
sisting of table, settee, two rockers
and two chairs. There is a wash room
and toilet in connection. 1t has
electric light and heat, and will Dc
cared for by Janitor Langheim and
his daughter Mamie.
The room will, be open at all times,
and will be great convenience to
ladies from the country, especially
those accompanied by young chit
dren. Its establishment was a com
mendable act on the part of the city
fathers, and it is hoped the convent
ences provided will be freely used

Cow Pulls a Leg.

Speaking about peculiar accidents,
here is one that has them all cheated,
Milton Lamb, young farmer ives!
of Anthem, Iowa, had finished milk
ing a heifer and as he released hS'
from the stanchion kicked at her.
When he did so she switched her tail
wrapping the bushy part of it about
his ankle with half hitch. She start
ed out OF the barn on a run, draggins
him behind her. AS he went out of
the door he grabbed ring in a post
to which he held with a death grip
yelling at the top of his voice for the
hired man to come to his RELIEF. The
COW had him stretched at full length
and was trying hard as she could to
get loose. When the hired man cut
the tail off the animal was pulling
SO hard that she went end over end.
Mr.. Lamb got ont of the ordeal with
out injury and the chances are he
will confine his kicking to bob tailed
cows only-Anthon Herald.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Hundreds of Cases i'm New York.
Conditions i'm Iowa Good and
No Cases Reported.

"The public of Iowa has been edu
Gated as much as it is necessary thal
| it be educated on the subject of in
fantile paralysis. / think that there
need be no fear of an epidemic OF
that disease in the state and it is
not even necessary to send out a
warning, if the literature sent out hy
the state board of health has been
preserved" G. H. Sumner, secretary
of the state board of health, stated
Friday.
1T is really the wrong time of the
year for infantile paralysis to bretk
out" he declared. 1T usually appears
in August and September. The sup
position is that the disease is more
prolific in very dry and hot weather"
Experiments show that the sail
va of child that has the discs.
rubbed in the nos-rils Of monkey
conveys the disease to the monkey.
If our instructions are followed when
cases develop there will be no cpl
demIc. There must be an absolute
c arantine OF all cases. All children
who have been where the disease is
should have their nos.rils and
mouths treated With a l per cent So
luton OF hydrogen peroxide"
Dr.. sumner asserted that although
cases of infantile paralysis are rare
to the average doctor, there should
be no trouble in diagnosing the dis
ease. He said that the symptoms are
headaches, high fever, and part al
paralysis, especially of the limbs, and
that these symptoms appearing in a
child are almost certain indications
of this disease.
In 1910 infantile paralysis ap-
peared in epidemic form in Iowa.
During that year it was general al
over the country, particularly in Mas
Isachusetts, Nebraska and Minnesota.
At that time careful study was
made of the disease by the Iowa state
board of health and bulletin des-
Icribing the disease was issued, which
has become an authority on the sub
1ject.
There were GOA cases OF the dis
ease in Iowa and 100 deaths res;.ll-
ing from il in 1910. A careful study
was made and the bulletin issued
contained a definition OF the disease,
and gave a list of the symptoms, the
history and recommendations for
treatment. 1t was sent to all physi-
clans, nurses and embalmers, in the
state and was scattered broadcast.
Over 10000 copies were printed IN
three editions.

An Extensive Error.

While the big crowd was in town
during the band concert Charley
Stockwell with numerous other own
ers of autos had his car parked in
front of Stager's restaurant and when
he went to back out hit the wrong
pedal and instead of backing up
Lizzie" the car, shot ahead onto the
sidewalk and into Ssager,s pop corn
wagon "kersmash," crowding the
wagon right into the big plate glass
window, which popped like gun. 1t
was all done in an instant No one
was hurt. The car had slight dam
age, but the new plate glass and fiN-
ing up the pop corn wagon will cost
quite bit, so Charley says.-Greene

THE COST OF THE WAR.

During the more than one him
dred years, from the beginning of the
INapoleonic wars to 1914, the esti-
mated costs of all the wars fought
aggregated $4,000, 1000, says the
Cedar Rapids Republican. This in
cluded the twenty years of fighting
under Napoleon and the civil war in
the United States. The present Eur
opean war cost almost tina. much
during it's first year. BY the first of
August the costs of the war will be
in excess of $50, 900, 00e and a
French authority, Jean Finot, esti-
mates that the total costs will De
100000, 100000 if it lasts three
years, as it may last. That is more
than one-half of the wealth, we be-
lieve, of the whole United States. Oh
these costs nearly two-thirds will fall
upon the allied nations and mort
than one-third upon the reGtoniC
powers.

Farmer Solves Cold Storage Problem

An exchange ellis of farmer who
has solved the cold storage problem:
HE dug a square shaft twelve feet
square in the ground. In this shaft
he packed ice every winter after the
sround had become frozen around
filling the hole nearly to the top. He
has house built over the shaft, as
the warm weather comes on suspends
his milk and anything he desires to
keep at low temperature, within a
few inches of the ice. The ground
around it being thoroughly frozen,
tie ice melts very slowly during the
season, and usually last until Septem-
Ter. He has pursued this course for
several years and finds it serves an
excellent purpose at an Insignificant
expense"

ped the shipment of ammuni-

Voter, you don't seem to realize
that he couldn't have done
otherwise and maintained neu-

ket is open to Germany just the
same as it is to England and
France. And, also please bear
in mind that Germany was
England's chief source Of supply
of ammunition during the Bour
war. Germany then had ammu-
milton to sell and violated no law
in selling to England the same
as the United States is doing.
The Bours could have bought
ammunition in the same market,
